I understand this is often advertised as a goal in life. But the fact is that most of the time you don't control much of what happens inside and outside you... This happens only in very restricted contexts.
- Pyramus 5y agoI agree with you - I understood 'totality' as in 'everything that can be controlled' (anything else would be contradictory). As such it's still very desirable. I also want to highlight that trying to control mind and body will lead you very quickly to the realization that we are more of an observer of inside/outside events than anything else. I can recommend Sam Harris ideas and thoughts on the existence of free will and consequences.
