"Cinderella" ~ Sir John Everett Millais
Life normally thinks about will-power and judges a person on their will and ability to do. This of course is an illusion. We always think everybody else is doing and we are stuck in the mud. The machine has a will and so has the inner world and they are different and opposed. For a student, it is very important to protect the fragile inner will.
The story of Cinderella is the story of the conflict of these two wills. The ugly step sisters (Emotional and Instinctive Centers) give impossible tasks to Cinderella and criticize everything she does. Even when she does carry out the task they just make her do it again.
