Understanding Control Dramas; The 6th Insight of The Celestine Prophecy ⋆ Earth and Water

The 6th insight of The Celestine Prophecy teaches us how we’ve been stealing energy from other people throughout history. We’ve been unwittingly telling the same stories over and over again to trap people into giving us their energy.

These stories are called control dramas. They help us control the narrative in our interactions with other people and whomever wins control over the interaction, wins the energy.

We walk away either feeling empowered or depleted. Depending if we were the ones to “win” or “lose” the interaction.

This isn’t the proper way to be interacting with people, but it’s the only thing we’ve ever known. Perhaps after the 6th insight brings us awareness of our control dramas and the stories we’re telling, we can consciously change it into something more beneficial to all parties.

Ideally, we want everyone to walk away from all interactions with one another feeling empowered and satisfied.

Types of Control Dramas

Everyone manipulates other people into giving them their energy. Either aggressively, forcing people to give them their attention or passively, playing into people’s sympathy and curiosity.

The Interrogator – This control drama asks questions and probes at people in search of finding something wrong. When they find something, they criticize it.

If the story is successful in pulling the other person into it, the person becomes self-conscious and begins to pay attention to the interrogator, so as not to entice further criticism. This gives the interrogator their energy.

The Intimidator – The most aggressive kind of control drama, this person is the bully. They make others feel small through fear.

The Poor Me – This person prays on other’s sympathy. They seek for people to feel sorry for them, complaining and highlighting their troubles to anyone who will listen to gain energy. They place blame on others for their troubles and beg for others to help.

The Aloof – This person is vague and distant. They offer up very little to play into other’s curiosity. Other’s become intrigued by the mystery of this individual and pay them more attention, thus, giving their energy to the aloof.

There’s a tendency to see these control dramas in others but believe that we, ourselves, do not have one. Most of us, however, do. It’s important that we identify our own so that we may break through them.

Understanding our own control drama

To understand our own control drama, we must think back to our childhood. This is when the control dramas are established. By our caregivers operating under their own control dramas and trying to pull energy from us as children.

Control dramas are formed as a defense mechanism to protect our own energy from being siphoned. Once we understand where our own control dramas developed and why, we can let go of the story and find a better way of interacting with others.

It is possible to not have a control drama though it is rare. To grow without one means your caregivers gave you all of the love, attention and energy you needed to thrive and never stole any from you.

Aloof people create interrogators because as children, the only way to gain attention from the aloof parent is to ask questions that engage them.

Interrogators make people aloof because to defend against the constant questions and criticism, they shut down in an effort to protect their energy. Becoming vague and distant, never giving them enough to find criticism.

Intimidators create poor-me because the poor me is a defense mechanism to the aggression and force. When the poor-me isn’t successful in protecting them from the intimidator, they themselves too become an intimidator.

Moving into a higher state of consciousness

Before we’re able to move into a constant state of higher vibration, that which many of us have glimpsed but none of us can maintain indefinitely, we must first come to complete awareness of who we are.

We must seek to actively progress in who we are and detach from leading our lives from the ego, coming into a more spiritual, heart centered way to live. Finding coexistence with the energy and one another.
