Representations are not without force, but they are as the logarithm of raw sensations. As a relation of inside to outside this key distinction can fall either way. Seduction is only possible because the increase in arousal is is much greater than the increase in stimulus, in fact its rate is determined by how much arousal is already in place. Hence in this case stimulus is as the logarithm of arousal or active desire. One's expectations are merely linear, and hence the surprise that 'it just happened', etc. Pain may also be an example of this inverted dynamic. In these cases desire or pain, directly experienced are the real, and their occasions the representations. It is not just will that is the real, but will subject to this loop of self-intensification, or 'self-shattering'.
