ABSTRACT
This chapter explores the three levels of field functioning: chaos, process and structure, how they support each other and emerge from each other. There is no area in which this approach is as fruitful as in understanding of choice and will. For choice and will to mean anything like what we intuit it to mean, we need to be able to tap into all three levels. When we speak of choice, we do not only mean a choice in that moment. We also make choices that form commitments regarding our future actions and orienting. Such choices become part of our assimilated personality, who we are and would describe ourselves to be. Another implication of this way of approaching choice, will and shame is to highlight the centrality of splitting or polarisation. The philosophy behind any discussion of choice and will is for inevitably linked to the existentialists, and in particular to Jean-Paul Sartre.
