willpower
willpower is the significant quality of a subject to act in alignment with its mind intent despite adverse conditioning if free will is conceived.
willpower is an illusion of the mundane space.
willpower is equivalent of making motivation a product of free will as opposed to an emergent state product of conditioning.
motivational power is analogous to willpower, without conceiving free will.
If all the causal factor for acting in favor (motivation) or against (adverse conditioning) the mind intent are conceived (no-reduction of causality) there is nothing to attribute to willpower.
The belief in willpower is very harmful in humans, because it leaves the impression that a better alternative reality was possible and it blames the subject for not making that reality possible. This leads to feelings of guilt towards oneself, and blame towards the others.
