You start off with "God" in title...and later in the post make reference only to awareness and love. With which one of these terms have you equaled the term God ?

I should clarify my point. Both approaches control. One approach is in control through utilizing fear. The other approach is in control through utilizing acceptance.
Fear creates action through relative determinations of what the action should be. Acceptance allows action from a more universal, objective determination.

No. Having no control is an illusion which leads to a feeling of detachment and an absence of harmony. Being controlled, however, only happens out of fear. Being in control happens through utilizing fear or acceptance.
Those in control through acceptance excercise their own free will and allow others to do the same. The others are in control of themselves, but you are also due to the unity of all.
Things dont "just happen". They happen because individuals make decisions.
