008: THE MIND’S NEED TO CONTROL

“The mind seeks to control because it does not trust the heart.” – Jeshua

The mind loves to plan. It loves certainty, clarity, and guarantees. It wants to know how everything will unfold before taking a single step. But the heart lives by a different law — one of trust, rhythm, and responsiveness.

I think of a client who beautifully captured this tension. They described reaching a point where their mind was “kicking and screaming.” They had invested deeply in their vision, but the closer they came to the edge of action, the louder their thoughts became: “I don’t know what this will look like. What if I build it wrong? What if I waste my time?”

They wanted to architect the perfect world before laying the first brick. But love doesn’t work that way. Creation reveals itself through movement, not before it.

As we talked, something softened. They realized they didn’t need to know the whole plan. Their task wasn’t to control the outcome but to take the next true step. “God is my partner,” they said. “My brain isn’t God.” It was a moment of surrender — the shift from mental control to divine cooperation.

That’s what it means to trust the heart. It’s not about reckless spontaneity; it’s about releasing the fantasy of control. When you stop trying to be the master architect of your destiny, you make room for life to design with you.
