This study endeavors to explicate and elucidate, from an esoteric perspective, the potential, prospective, and functional content of such phenomena as suffering, objectified will (with the ego representing the referent of the psychic structure of the subject), and immanent teleology. Drawing upon the philosophical perspectives on suffering and objectified will by German philosopher A. Schopenhauer, as well as referencing the esoteric teachings of American philosopher-mystic F. Merrell-Wolff, the philosophical views on human existence by J.-P. Sartre, the spiritual concepts of Canadian psychologist E. Tolle, and the arguments posited by Aristotle in favor of the existence of a final cause, the study aims to analyze these phenomena. An attempt is made to demonstrate the interconnectedness between the claims of the objectified will, as discussed in philosophical discourse, and the ideas of theoretical physicist S. Hawking in the field of physical sciences, particularly in the evolutionary development of the universe. Through the discourse, immanent teleology, manifested in life itself as an inclination towards eternal peace, is asserted as an a priori form of understanding the world of phenomenal spatiotemporal multiplicity. In contrast, the objectified will strives for the identity of infinite energy density through possession, sole proprietary ownership, and governance over the objects of the universe. These dual directions culminate in liberation through the overcoming or destruction of enslavement, ultimately leading to the annulment of time and space.
