Blog : Control, Mental (and its solutions...)

Control is a formidable faculty of the mind of each one. But it is also a superb illusion that gives us the impression that we control everything. It is indeed reassuring to know that we can control everything that happens in order to be able to lead our lives according to our vision and in accordance with our desires.

What is it really like ?
In the end, if you observe what is happening, or remember past events, you will come to the conclusion that you have little or no control. You see in the circle below that you have control over a few small things, and not control over a non-exhaustive list of many things.

What are the consequences?
When one experiences a negative event, the mind likes to believe that it will be enough to create a concept of opposition (therefore of mastery of the opposite) to find a solution, implying the solution which consists in returning to the state before the event. But as this event, most of the time, is out of your field of action, the mind will finally loop in the middle of your projections, fears, memories lived without ever finding the answer to the question "How do you go back to the previous state?

What to do?
If the event requires an action, then implement it and wait for the result, without creating an expectation, it will be so much to act level and, if possible, when the result has occurred. If you have no means of action, switch to "acceptance" mode so as not to create a control mechanism within your consciousness that will result in evil (see the article Illnes Has Said), for your will can never change anything. In other words, LET GO and keep your energy !
