Evolution: The Illusion of Being in Control

 

By Carrie K. Hutchens

 

I was as blind as anyone. Perhaps blinder than most. I was so busy looking at the liberal interference in child rearing and family life that I didn't see what was evolving and spreading like a plague in the 14th century. I didn't see the birth of the mentality that has a need to feel in control of every aspect of life and death. Okay, maybe I saw it, but I didn't recognize it for what it was.

Years ago, I had frequent arguments with a psychologist friend of mine. He believed we determined all situations in our life through our own choice. If something bad happened, then it was due to our personal choice. After all, nothing bad could happen to us without us allowing it to. We were in total control and should take full responsibility for all good and all bad within our lives. Outside factors, according to him, played no part in the outcome.

Oh really? How is that possible, I asked knowing that it wasn't? For every action there is a reaction and that includes actions and reactions from others. Our lives and situations do often become entwined, so things aren't always dependent solely on our choices. Can't be. Unless we live in isolation on our own planet that is untouched by all things beyond, we cannot be completely isolated from the choices made by others. That's a fact I've always been sure of.

It is amazing that we stayed friends the way we argued about these matters, but I suppose in that he was right -- we chose to. Maybe we each thought we were going to win over the other to our way of thought. Needless to say, it never happened. Then he transferred. But I never forgot him and I often wondered how many he did come to convince to follow his way of thinking. I wonder even more today than I did all those years ago. I wonder even more now because life has shown me that his beliefs weren't, and aren't, as rare as I once thought they were.

I discovered that there are those who believe we make all our choices prior to even being conceived. We pick when we will be born, to whom we will be born and we make an agreement with others to fulfill a specific part within a lesson we need to experience and learn from. Once again, it is a belief that all things are by our individual choices. That we are the ones actually in control of all aspects of our being. That whatever happens, it is because we chose it and/or agreed to it.

There was a time that I actually believed this was harmless in relationship to society as a whole. After all, the people I speak of were not seeking to control others or to suggest they were in control of others. It wasn't obvious to me how this could mutate into an infectious disease within society, but now I wonder if it hasn't. After all, it is all about control. Being in control of our own bodies. Being in control of our own lives. Being in control of our own deaths.

Boy, doesn't that sound familiar when one thinks about the feminist and pro-abortion and pro-death culture movements?

The mutation hasn't stopped there. Now there are those who believe they should also be in control of other people's bodies, lives and deaths. The ones who feel they have been granted, through some kind of special evolution, the special insight and wisdom to make choices for others. The appointed and the anointed. The superior. The privileged. The elite. The ones who feel they are above all the rules they so readily try to make for others.

Who are these people to think their "quality of life concept" should become the rule of the land and forced upon all those not considered equal to their self-appointed status to rule the world of life and death here on earth?

When did they come to believe that "less than perfection" is unacceptable and then expect the world to accept this as an absolute?

Where does it say that people that suffer from brain injuries and/or other physical injuries have, by their injuries and disabilities stopped being valuable assets to society?

How did this all happen? How did the death culture get such a hold on our world and the lives of others?

Why did we let it happen? Ignorance? Apathy? Doubt? Fear? What? What is behind the why?

What do we do about it? What can we do about it? What will we do about it?

This "supposed" evolution is nothing more than an illusion of being in control. It won't last. It never does. Look at history. Look at Hitler and his time to rule and all the destruction at his hands. He was all-powerful for a few years. He did decide who would live and die in so many ways. But in the end, he was destroyed by himself and the loss of his self-appointed power. He suddenly was not all-powerful and then he became dead and not well thought of. His legacy was not what he appeared to have intended. There is no such thing as absolute control by those who think they have it. Evolution to absolute control is actually their illusion and therefore their declaration of imperfection not tolerated according to their rules. (History has a way of catching up to power hungry people?)

So when do we say enough is enough and it is time to take our world back and then do it?

We can go back. We can go back to a safer and more compassionate time, if we make that choice something we are collectively and consciously focused on and willing to truly fight to achieve! It is up to us! No one can take that from us, unless we allow them to do so. To think otherwise gives them the illusion of being in control. Gives us the illusion they are in control. They aren't. And one of the simplest things we can do that is of the utmost importance is to go cast a well-informed vote. Now that IS taking CONTROL back!!!
