Chaos!

Today was a mad, mad chaotic day. My 1st day at class for my last module. But I was so engrossed - not with the trainer's speech. I was punching furiously on my 2 phones, replying emails, SMS and phone calls, making arranements for my work and with the clients. Most if not all are from office. I can't believe it I was like replying something like 2 dozen emails and countless SMS. By 3pm, my 2 phones are almost flat! Ridiculous it may sound, but it's true. Everything is so chaotic! Not too bad at all. I managed through the day.

According to what I perceived correct, Swedenborg was one of the early chaos theorists. If we really want balance in our lives, we need to be able to accept, tolerate and even embrace chaos. All too often, we find ourselves trying to put together things that fit badly. Two woods that cure at different rates and in different and in different ways, for example, don't do well when laminated together. All too often we want to believe that love is enough to hold together two people who are headed in very different directions. Sometimes, out of self -will and stubborness, we try to hold on to a job that we know deep down we don't even like or maybe getting us all burned out.

We refuse the severing and the resulting chaos and as a consequence miss the possible resultant order that "God arranges." When we lear to see chaos as a precursor of order, we are making progress. When chaos prevails, ask yourself if you can see it as a movement towards balance.

"Before anything is brought back into order, it is quite normal for it to be brought first into a kind of confusion, a virtue chaos. In this way, things that fit together badly are affected and severed from each other; and when they have been severed, the God arranges them in order."
