Obsession With Control





I wonder how many of us have somehow been taught to believe that we must be in control of our own behavior at every moment. With that comes the threat that we will lose control, something unspeakably awful will happen. I have been wondering about this because so many people have trouble with turbulence. Could it be that that inner concern that of going out of control has been has been laid on flying?

 

Pilots have all the control in the world. They simply are unable to understand why any passenger would be concerned about turbulence and the plane going out of control. Perhaps our psychological makeup inside so strongly influences our view of the world outside -- not just flying -- and that control is key to everything that means "safety".

 

Conversely, lack of absolute control means danger -- inside and outside.

 

One of the things I learned through being immersed in psychological thinking and being in therapy, was that it was OK to not be in control. It became pretty much OK to think anything. The more it became OK to think anything, the more aware I was of what what going on mentally all along without my being aware of it. Then, the more I became aware of it, the more possibilities of control I found. But, didn't have to use; I could choose.

 

I now see this: the less aware of mental process, the fewer opportunities for control, and the greater the obsession to control those few opportunities. The more aware of mental process, the more opportunities for control, the less the obsession to control, and the more choice about when to control and when not to.

 

Fear of not having enough control leads to imagination of the the plane being out of control.This imagination (driven by fear) leads to imagination of disaster so many times that this imagination becomes memorized. Once memorized, the memolrized imagination can become mistaken for reality. This is called "psychic equivalence", which means, what you have in mind is regarded as real. What is in the mind needs to be examined, not just accepted.

 

Do you let fear cause you to imagine disaster repeatedly? If so, most likely, the contents of your mind are, as my cousin used to say, "Not worth a fart in a windstorm." Perhaps the only shot at wisdom a fear-driven person has is to recognize what junk has been installed in the mind and that this junk is allowed to masquerade as reality.

    Snakes On A Plane

     

    An Air India flight was grounded last week when a crew member spotted a cobra on an Airbus A319. was searched, but the activity caused the snake to craw inside a small air vent. Mechanics opened up panels to gain access but were unable to retrieve the snake. The plane was then fumigated and searched further. At last report, the snake had still not be found and the plane remained grounded.
