This episode digs down to the root of human suffering – control. Jeffrey and Mark theorize the origin of all conflict, frustration, and helplessness is buried in our primordial fear of survival which in turn causes us to believe in our illusory power to control the circumstances of our lives by asserting our will upon the will of others, and why we must learn to accept what is beyond our control without needing to know what will come next if we hope to experience true and lasting peace.
