There was not a philosophy that superhuman powers controlled the universe. This sounds like a misrepresentation of Stoicism. This actually originated in Greece and became popular in the Roman Empire.
It advocated the overcoming of the destructiveness of emotions though self-control and fortitude. By correcting the will one could achieve virtue and this would bring bring happiness. Lack of virtue meant slavery to the flow of passion and unrestrained will. Through reason and logic one could achieve the virtues of wisdom, courage, justice and temperance.
Through virtue you would also embrace the universe. The universe was a material, reasoning substance, god or nature, one living being with one substance and one soul. Through virtue one could reach this oneness and embrace the wholeness of existence. You would reach the nature of the universe and of the world, the latter being part of the former.
