The mind works from evidence and reason. It does so naturally. But the will is already in the mix, and it has to be a will for the truth—a will that says, “I will accept the truth. I will abandon my beliefs or my hopes, if necessary, to accept the truth.” The will and the mind work together. The mind has to provide some sort of representation in order for the will to work. If the will is bent away from the truth, however, it will not represent things as they are. So there is an interaction there.
