Wilful Blindness! The blindness that is incurable.

The will is the seat of our desires, our affections, what we love. It can receive what is good. The will is also capable of receiving the opposite, evil.

The understanding is the seat of our learning, our knowledge, our intellect. It can receive what is true (I think of truth as being an appreciation of reality AS IT IS). But the understanding can also receive falsity.

There is also a relationship between the will and understanding, between good and truth, between evil and falsity. And having a grasp of that relationship is key to understanding the problem that prevents our spiritual growth and development.
