The
Pilgrim’s control means
The word ‘control’
is derived from Latin contra- ‘against’ + rotulus ‘a roll’,
suggesting the notion of relative (added) linear or looping momentum = energy
(or mass)). The New
Oxford Dictionary defines the meaning of ‘control’ as: 1.
the power (defined as energy, i.e. relative momentum) to influence or direct
people’s behaviour or the course of events 2.
the (power of) restriction of an activity, tendency or
phenomenon 3.
the power to restrain something 4.
a means (hence the power) of limiting or regulating
something , and so on. In short, to
have control means to have (relatively) superior power, whereby power
describes added energy expressing locally as greater force, strength, speed, agility
and so on. To have no control means lacking all of the former. Hence, the
basic control means (and initial guide system) of all living (i.e. dynamic)
systems, including the human pilgrim, is (added) power (read: energy profit).
Power (i.e. relative momentum, i.e. linear speed, or looped speed stored as
mass) is required (i.e. released) to make contact (i.e. to feed, and live) or
to avoid contact (i.e. to get eaten, and die). The pilgrim
registers increase in power (i.e. an energy profit, experienced as a surge,
often experienced as enlightenment)
as a high, iconised (i.e. to make it user friendly, hence more immediate) emotionally
as (the various intensities of) happiness. She registers a decrease in power
(i.e. an energy loss, experienced as a draw, loss or depression) as a low,
iconised emotionally as (the various intensities of) unhappiness. It is (relative)
power loss, and therefore loss of control (and which threatens death), that
forces the pilgrim to change (direction, size, shape, speed, agility,
flexibility and speed of response, i.e. intelligence and so on). Finding a
new (i.e. a more energy profitable) direction forces her to activate her
Guide System, elsewhere called the Genie.
