Control
There is the typical control exerted by the ego where the
controlling person will move people and circumstances out of fear. So that what
they fear does not happen. What they fear could be a relatively minor thing or
a relatively major thing such as a large argument with far reaching
consequences.
Many times the controlling person by being quick and
forceful gets what they want. That is, they get what their egos want.
However, control does exist. It exists outside and inside.
As always the inner control is better, miles better. The person who is
controlling outside, like a controlling person by the law of duality lacks
inner control. That is he/she lacks control over him or herself when it comes
to dealing with their own thoughts and emotions.
The best control to have is the one over our thoughts and
emotions. Because if we have this inner control or dominion when the difficult
circumstances arise and the egos within us project their painful and hurtful thoughts
and feelings we can control them and deal with them. The outwardly controlling
person can not deal with them and he/she knows it and so resorts to controlling
people, events and circumstances.
Remedy for the Controlling Person – Develop Inner Control
The remedy to being a controlling person is to develop the
inner control. That is to practice the psychology of the periphery, which means
to keep all the painful thoughts to the outer areas of our psychology and be
anchored in the central part of our psychology which is the essence. The
essence will always take the central position when we practice correctly the
psychology of the periphery.
End (1874).
