The article explores the concept of control as fundamental to human existence, asserting that control is not only an action but an intrinsic part of our identity. It emphasizes that everything we engage in—thinking, dreaming, and even not controlling—emerges from various control processes. The discussion suggests that even in states of perceived detachment or 'being in the zone', control is still at play, highlighting the complexity and omnipresence of control in our lives. Ultimately, control is seen as a continuous thread woven through every aspect of human behavior.
Control is not so much what we do as what we are. We can never step outside control... Not until we take that final step into whatever lies beyond our earthly existence.
All of our activity - our thinking, imagining, debating, dreaming, planning, inspecting, scrutinising - emanate from the control process.
To be 'in the zone,' you have to know what that feels like, and you have to be able to do things to make the way you're currently feeling be more like the 'in the zone' feeling.
Essentially, we are a conglomeration of control processes. It might be useful to discuss 'perceived control,' control at different levels, and even conscious and unconscious control.
