10 Mind Controllers
A modern understanding and application of the ancient art and science of controlling your Will (commonly known as ‘will power').
"The education of the Will is the object of our existence". – Ralph Waldo Emerson
Assagioli's 7 Qualities Of Will
Roberto Assagioli (1888-1974), author of The Act of Will has some impressive credentials:
He was the first Western psychologist to seriously incorporate religion and spirituality into an overall view of the human psyche, and founder of Psychosynthesis (an outgrowth of Freud's psychoanalysis).
Assagiolo Identified what he believed to be the 7 qualities of Will…
- Energy – Dynamic Power – Intensity
- Mastery – Control – Discipline
- Concentration – Attention – One-Pointedness – Focus
- Determination – Decisiveness – Resoluteness – Promptness
- Persistence – Endurance – Patience
- Initiative – Courage – Daring
- Organization – Integration – Synthesis
I read his book The Act Of Will that detailed his ideas on those 7 qualities and realised my own research was similarly categorised. … I then spent a lot of time exploring them… and finally, I arrived at a different configuration that I call…
The 10 Dimensions of Will
All of Roberto Assagioli's 7 qualities of Will are contained within the structure of the 10 mind controllers, plus much, much more.
First: Recognise that despite our individual view of what success means, success is the one thing that we can agree on that we want.
Our ultimate objective is thus: ‘I am completely successful'… And it is to that end that we apply our Will.
Second: Aristotle identified that Happiness (however you define it) is the purpose of life. And I haven't found anything more worthwhile or valuable than that!
So, the Success-Matrix holds the ultimate ‘desirable effect' of our life to be the experience that ‘I am happy'.
Third: The Success-Matrix thus far has identified 3 experiences that deliver that overall experience of happiness:
- My lifestyle supports my ambition
- I am emotionally filled with wonder, exhilaration, equanimity, and love.
- I am growing and creating that which I value most.
Those 3 components of achieving happiness can be achieved through the application and development of your Will.
Therefore…
1. To accomplish the objective of feeling that you are successful, brings…
2. …the desirable effect of feeling happy, by…
3. …achieving the goal of controlling your will.
This is represented by the diagram in which the arrows point in the direction of causality.
This diagram reflects the purpose of your Will which has got 10 dimensions, or controllers.

The 10 Mind Controllers
In the Success-Matrix Secret Principles Handbook I identify 3 absolutely fundamental keys to conscious life:
1. Clarity
2. Mindfulness
3. Manifestation
Through Assagioli's research, I realised the components of Will fit within those 3 keys.
Under the Clarity key exist the 3 mind controllers: Responsibility, Perceptivity, and Individuality.
Under the Mindfulness key exist the 3 mind controllers: Integrity, Commitment, and Surrender
Under the Manifest key exist the 3 mind controllers: Discipline, Power, and Effort.
The 10th mind controller is Transcendence. By the nature of Transcendence is does not fit under the 3 keys.
