Will's knowledge is outside or discursive constraints unlike the knowledge in consciousness in its normal and altered modes. It does not resemble a faculty or 'way of knowing' as feeling or affectivity. For example will knows death quite directly, as if it were the absence of all resistance. It is consciousness that can't quite believe in it, that divides itself into a realism for which death exists and an unconsciousness for which it does not. Death does not exist for will because it does not posit existence, but is as much will itself as is life. Will has no illusions.
