"He also mentions what has already been said, that the “scope of the will is wider than that of the intellect.” The latter being limited, the former infinite."
In Guénon's chapter 'Sulphur, Mercury, Salt' in the Great Triad, he talks about will but makes sure to differentiate between its 'ordinary psychological meaning' and a more theological meaning- 'Divine will.'
He even goes so far to make a footnote on the word 'theion' in Greek which is the term for sulphur, and eventually 'red sulphur' too, which in Islamic Hermeticism is represented by the Phoenix.
Anyway, Divine will and the Far-Eastern expression 'Will of Heaven' refers to 'inwardness' belonging to celestial influences. To my mind that is the origin of intuition. One darts straight up beyond the noosphere and grasps the truth through intuition.
He also speaks of 'ordinary man' who wills in the egoic/psychological sense vs. 'true man', whose will is united with 'Heaven.'
This seems to be the difference between willing from the material mind (ego, what is pleasant) which can often turn a situation belly up, vs. non-egoic (the good) which is terrifying/painful etc. at the time it is enacted but always seems to grow beautiful fruits.
I loved the section on Nietzsche's priestly will because the monks/bishops/pope etc. enforced their pious ascetic will on our morality and collectively killed us. Maybe that's why we 'killed God' in a form of retaliation. Who was it that said they loved how raucous the clergy was because it showed a 'will' returning to Man? Virus and virility are like two peas in a pod.
Egoic will reared its head and undertook competition as a way out, and built the technological world as we know it, funded by those who knew what was coming round the corner- Ouranos, in Greek- 'Heaven'... the ruler of Aquarius. WILL on steroids.

The priest class work by the light of the stars.
