See, you think the will = thinking. But we already have a word for that-- "thinking."
And this is back to Mom not really, really being "Mom," and more importantly, me not being really, really "Me." It is the interaction between the unconscious and conscious minds which define what it means to be human, and so all these unconscious "factors" are, after all, just part of the agency of self. Study blood flow in the brain and see how the brain works? Fine. . . you've learned that the will takes time to express itself as a conscious behavior.
