Where we seem somewhat free is only in our thinking; this is when will is in service to the process of thought which does not so much solve problems as harness the unconscious forces that do so. In cognitivist terms it works something like this: to freely choose the elements we will imaginatively accept as limiting our position and then, entering in to that constrained position, to see what conclusion emerges, and then to revise that conclusion, within the more restricted field of choice we are permitted with respect to outcomes, reflectively - actually recursively - by adding an evaluation of it to the initial position as a further constraint. And to continue in this way until we are satisfied. The positions it works with are ones in which we might find ourselves and so these preclude going back to a time before we were insufficiently formed to be present any where. Thought breaks off in this direction but the memory latent in will can perhaps go further. This means to discover pure unassuageable desire in a will that infantilises us not through being the will to will but desire fixed upon an impossible object. But seen up close these last are not so very different at all.
