There is a way out of the “control system”. We all have an observer in our head that observes an internal dialogue or mind wandering, perseverating, etc. With awareness and practice you can learn to control and train your thoughts. You can stop thinking at will, you can shift perspectives, etc. Your higher self can change how you feel, and decide to amplify loving kindness to the universe, instead of dwelling on perceived injustices and insults. As above, so below. As inside the self, so outside.

One lives in paradox, so it may come down to bad ones and good ones. 'And if you gaze long enough into the abyss, the abyss will gaze back at you". Maybe if we leave the blindfolds on when we fight the monsters.

Fundamental symmetry between the macrocosm and the microcosm I believe is experienced when we are very young in our first few years, as the world comes into focus. It appears to adjust to the scale of things itself, as well as things becoming visually sharper. Do you remember staring at a piece of furniture, as it becomes impossibly large like a cliff, or the opposite; a scale shift. Possibly accompanied by a strange feeling in the solar plexis?
