No energy system can be completely self-controlling without ceasing to move.  Control is restraint upon movement, and because complete control would be complete restraint, control must always be subordinate to motion if there is to be motion at all.  In human terms, total restraint of movement is the equivalent of total doubt, of refusal to trust one's senses or feelings in any respect, and perhaps its embodiment is the extreme catatonic who refuses every motion or communication.  On the other hand, movement and the release of restraint are the equivalent of faith, of committing oneself to the uncontrolled and unknown.
