what is control? Is it something that humans have at their disposal, I mean really, do we? That there is this doer that can control the outcome of a situation. It is absolutely absurd to think that this can make much sense, especially with the fact of looking and observing. It can often been seen like a person has some control of “their” supposed outcome but is that the case does the coarse of existence run like it has always run and its whether you fall within the flow of that outcome or not, and then when it does flow then it is said to be a good outcome to you what you think you are. If the outcome does not meet the expectation based on “you being in control” then we tend to suffer.
Control is more or the less the idea that we are basically masters of our destiny, know whats best for ourselves, and have the best possible information at hand. In reality, the idea of control is only a false sense of security, which when not matched up, causes this whirly “I suffer” idea which frankly can be a waste of time if you’re choosing to take part in something you believe to be real.
The funny thing is, is that we don’t know that we play this game of “the one who is trying to control.” Seeing it is important because without seeing, nothing changes. You can’t pull yourself out of a dream unless it is realized that there is a dream taking place. Even the idea that, “I am fighting this idea of controlling my outcome.” is in fact controlling. But if one were to first see how absurd the criteria in which control takes place and then seeing that it happens within you is enough to allow control to dissipate. There is no forcing at this point and at this point it is a seeing through of a sorts that allows one to drop it.
