We Can…
We can, with the work on ourselves perform a shift in the
play of forces within ourselves.
Normally
Normally, we are so scared because of someone or of a coming
situation, because we are going to come under the control of another person and
suffer a miserable outcome.
Well, it is not really that we come under the control of another
person, but what happens is that we come under the control of our own karma or
our own weaknesses.
Examples
For example, we may be scared to see a person because they
will invariably insult us and because of our weaknesses we are going lose our
happy state and spend most of the time while are in that event suffering.
Another example could be that we try to avoid someone because
they talk and talk and stick to us like glue and we are scared of our lack of
capacity to be able to handle the situation.
Another example could be that we are scared of someone of the
opposite sex because we are weak in that area and our lust will end up controlling
us and we will falter.
Locus of Control is Normally in Controlling Others
In all of the above examples the point of control is outside
of ourselves, where we are totally dependent on the other person. How you may
ask, well let’s see.
Out point of control is in others in the sense that if they
do not insult us we are happy, if they do not kiss us we are fine, if they do
not stick to us like glue we are fine. Meaning that our state of well-being is
in the hands of the another person and so we think that we must control the situation
or the environment. That is where our locus of control is, outside of ourselves
and this is not freedom at all, this is slavery and this is why people really
do not like this.
Shifted Locus
When we shift our locus of control to be inside of ourselves,
that is we control our own weaknesses, we control our own physiology the locus
of control is inside and it does not matter what happens outside of our ourselves
because we can control the effects of the impressions on our interior that come
from the outside.
This is freedom, this is where the freedom starts!
Conclusion
To shift the locus of the point of control we first have to
understand that we have our locus of the point of control outside of ourselves
in controlling others. Secondly, discover what weaknesses keep that locus of
control outside of ourselves. Thirdly to make the resolution of controlling ourselves
(stop controlling outside) from our interior, and lastly, to work on dissolving
those weaknesses. Then smile and enjoy your freedom!
