"Will" is bicameral resonance.

" "Bicameral" simply means there are two governing parts of the mind.

In other words, the conscious part and the unconscious, or subconscious, part.

...To tap into more of the richness of the concept of resonance, and to go further into the complexities of how the two parts of the mind work together, think of two musical instruments, say a horn and a guitar. If a note is played on the horn it will make the guitar strings vibrate the same note and some of its harmonics. That is resonance. The closer the horn's note is to the "key" of the string, the stronger the vibration.

Now consider two related qualities of resonance, consonance and dissonance.

Consonance is a good thing. It sounds good when two notes that are consonant are played simultaneously, and in the same way it is easy for us to do something when there is consonance between the conscious and subconscious parts of the mind. The more consonant they are, the easier it is.

Dissonance is not such a good thing. Two notes that don't go together jangle our nerves; they are not harmonious. Same goes for ideas. If there is conscious-subconscious dissonance about something, it is the subconscious "note" that will come through. In other words, without conscious-subconscious agreement, the only thing that will happen will be what the subconscious wants.

What this theorem says, then, is that will is the product of agreement about a particular idea between the subconscious and conscious parts of the mind.

Everything we do, we do with agreement from the subconscious mind.

To suggest that we will consciously override the subconscious is ridiculous. The subconscious mind is far and away the dominant force and must be reckoned with for any achievement to occur.

Conversely, without subconscious concurrence, you will not be able to do it. Not for very long, anyway.

This position has immense ramifications at every level of human study. It challenges conventional wisdom which is seemingly set in stone. It attracts a lot of controversy.
