For many of us, this may be the first time in our lives that we have felt so little control over our own destiny and the destiny of those we love. This lack of #control initially feels like a loss, a #humiliation, a stepping backward, an undesired #vulnerability. However, recognizing our lack of control is a universal starting point for a serious #spiritual walk towards #wisdom and #truth.

To be in control of one’s #destiny, #job, or #finances is nearly an unquestionable moral value in Western society. The popular phrase “take control of your life” even sounds mature and spiritual. It is the fundamental message of nearly every self-help book. On a practical level, it is true, but not on the big level. Our bodies, our souls, and especially our failures teach us this as we get older. We are clearly not in control, as this #pandemic is now teaching the whole #planet.

Learning that we are not in control situates us correctly in the universe. If we are to feel at home in this #world, we have to come to know that we are not steering this ship. That teaching is found in the mystical writings of all religions. #Mystics know they are being guided, and their reliance upon that guidance is precisely what allows their journey to happen. We cannot understand that joy and release unless we’ve have been there and experienced the #freedom for ourselves.
