You Were Never Meant to Control Life — The Ego’s Greatest Illusion | Alan Watts

You were never meant to control life. Yet from a very young age, you were taught to believe that everything depends on you — your thoughts, your emotions, your future, even your sense of self. In this video, inspired by the philosophy of Alan Watts, we explore one of the deepest illusions of the ego: the belief that there is a separate “you” inside who must control life in order to survive, succeed, or find peace. This illusion creates constant tension, anxiety, and exhaustion — not because life is difficult, but because control was never your role. Alan Watts reveals that the ego is not the driver of life, but a useful social tool that was never meant to manage consciousness. When you try to control life, you begin fighting processes that are already unfolding naturally — breathing, thinking, feeling, and becoming. The result is inner conflict and a persistent sense that something is wrong. This reflection invites you to look directly at the feeling of separation that fuels the need to control. Through non-dual insight and simple everyday examples, the illusion of control begins to dissolve, revealing a deeper truth: life is not happening to you — it is happening as you. You were never meant to control life. You were meant to participate in it. This is not about giving up responsibility or becoming passive. It is about recognizing the difference between natural action and ego-driven control — and discovering the freedom that appears when that difference is finally seen.
