Will does not possess its being, it is the opposite of this in such a strong sense that it would be intrinsic to being if such a thing were allowed, that is, if being were to have a will. It is within something prior while also bringing about the life that spans space and time. All of which is to say that it is not the background consciousness, and has no part in it other than in putting forward the misleading metaphor of a background. What that is is whole and complete in experience without being any kind of experience. Perhaps better to name it the foreground consciousness and experience the background.
