It´s essentially the power to resist inner pain, the ability to create a dominant conscious narrative over subconscious narratives like pain, fear and others.
I don´t know how it´s formed. I do know though, that it´s very much possible to train your willpower with excerzises and constant testing of your limits. Also a lot of it seems to be inherited.

I guess it´s one of the things we´ll never get a real clue on.

They often call it 'grit' and they say its 37% inheritable. As far as healing abilities go I would assume it to be closely related to placebo effects which can often be more powerful than actual medication, so yes I do think its possible. I also think its possible to die from no cause except placebo or psycho somatic illness.

Specifically pertaining to cancer, it ALL 100% has to do with the body's immune response.
Do some research into Beta 1,3D Glucan.

Or, rather, the power to deny momentary satisfaction.

If you have the intelligence to understand what sensory inputs you are fed and the likely purpose of feeding you them it could boost your ego rather than shatter it.

>Wow someone actually spends time on trying to make me miserable and doubt myself. That must mean that I am rather important and awesome!
