Do You Believe We Really Have Control Over Our Lives? Think Again…

Do We Really Have Control? If you would ask a very practical, rational and down to earth entrepreneur then you would probably get something like; “Of Course You Have Full Control Over Your Life!” And you know what? This might actually be true in some way. You do have control over your actions, your thinking and your believes.

In matter of fact not being in control over your life can give you a feeling of dis-empowerment. But what if you were a Spiritual Energy Healer or a Artist? And “things” come to you. It flows through you and it will be expressed by you? Or even some entrepreneurs can feel that some sort of “Higher Knowing”, Visions, Insights and Inspirations flows through them. Even though they wouldn’t like to tell anyone because they don’t want to sound weird. Like they are being guided by a Higher Power. We also call this being in the Zone or in the Flow. It’s like they can tap into The Unity Mind. Do we really have control over the things that comes to us and flow through us?

Watch the video about how much control do we think we have to find out!

So how much control do we really have over our lives?

Our rational egocentric mind or so called “Lower Self” loves control! It’s the reason it exist! It’s primary job is to make sure that you stay safe and secure. It wants you to be fulfilled in your basic needs of survival. And yes we do can have control over that part by learning various skills, be of service to others and hard work. But can we also experience our fulfillment and true satisfaction in that part? Can we find our inspiration and connection to The Universe? Maybe, maybe not. It depend the person!

But some people can agree that their actions are being guided by intuitive insights and inspirations. They don’t really function very well if their actions are coming by a forced rational motive, like a extrinsic motivation for example.

If your Lower Self Wants control, then what is it that your Higher Self wants?

How much control can we have over our Higher Self? Getting in touch with your Higher Self can give you a better connection with the things you truly love and enjoy doing. You can do these things without any conditions or expectations. It make you fully present and connected. This all sounds very nice, lofty, interesting and idealistic. But I can tell you this goes way beyond the rational mind. The rational mind will judge the insights and inspirations you receive. Even when these insights and inspirations feels right your mind goes against it. It will come with rejections like; “but that doesn’t make any sense” or “you can’t make any money in that way.” But not acting upon your inspirations can give you a bitter feeling of emptiness and that something is missing.

But if we do act upon our Insights and Inspirations we seems to receive from The Source then how much can we have control over these insights?

Well first of all what I believe is that we DO CAN HAVE CONTROL over these insights and inspirations and that is to ACT! What would happen if a guy like Elon Musk never act upon his ideas and inspirations? You guess it right, nobody will ever heard about him! Or we would never get his technology available to us. As soon as you receive a insight or inspiration even if it’s really small then act! You then receive a second, third, fourth insight and so on. And before you know it you are in the flow!

What about our Free Will? Can we have control over that?

We have the free will to decide what it is that we want. We can choose for a very small part our thoughts, feelings, emotions and actions. But do we REALLY have fully control over the outcomes? How many times did you really had outcomes exactly as expected? Or did it always came a bit by surprise? The results always came from the most unexpected corners, isn’t? If we had fully control over our outcomes then why do we have feelings of fear, worries, uncertainties, insecurities, doubts etc?

We have that because we are living in the dark. We are living in a place where we can’t really see or feel beyond what is. We just do stuff with the hope it can guide us back home (all unconsciously).

Can we have control over our subconscious mind?

Wouldn’t that be something?! We only use 1-10% of our conscious mind. Everything else is something we currently don’t have much control over. Again it’s a dark zone of ignorance and blindness. It’s a zone that might be interconnected with previous lives, parallel universes, multi dimensions and infinite vibrational libraries like the Akashic Records for example. It’s a zone we are disconnected from for various reasons. The most obvious reason is our cultural upbringing that keep us in a lower state of consciousness. This could give you hopefully a drive and motivation to keep on learning and developing. However there is one last thing you need to know;

If we can’t control our outcomes then what is it that we do can control?

Our outcomes always seems to appear in a different way then expected. Those who wish to have more control over their outcomes live more in their Lower Self and could potentially experience more stress and anxiety. The Lower Self or Ego Self desires one thing! That one thing is Safety & Security. It was designed to keep you away from danger. We don’t have to battle saber tigers anymore but the “dangers” we are currently facing is “losing identity”, status, money, a job or business, relationships, social approval and recognition and so fort. Societal expectations is what I would like to call them. The past and future are illusions. Illusions created by our limited mind. What is real is what is happening right now. The note of a symphony or the silence between the notes. The movement of a dance or a bird singing his sing. We are not going anywhere and it feels unnatural to us to try. It is against our nature to rush to any kind of destination because there are no destinations. Holding on to the past and rushing to the future makes you disconnected from what’s real.

What we can control is how we perceive our present moment. How do you see your present moment right now?

I hope you now got a better answer on the question; Do We Really Have Control Over Our Lives? I am curious.. did you get any new insights, ideas or questions? Then please let me know by leaving a comment below. Also feel free to share!
