Living with Chaos, and the Power of Belief
Posted: Sat Sep 28, 2013 7:49 am
Hi.
Time, and time again, I read of, hear of or personally witness people apparently experiencing terrible onslaughts of extreme discord; sharp, twists and turns that leave them writhing in agony and seeking remedies that are either short-lived or mean nothing at all to the situation.. Their efforts hopeless, time and money and a mask of positivity seemingly wasted on what can feel like some insidious force bent on ruining their lives at any expense..
Well at the core of all this, and all eventualities, is Chaos.
Chaos gets a real bad rap.. because it is hazardous, it is destructive and random..but what we fail to recognize in the midst of it's clutches, is this is a completely neutral force of power. For creativity, and transformation are inherent to it's nature as well.
There is but one answer to your woes, and that is to get acquainted with it.. to embrace it, to understand it. And to roll with it...
But you're thinking, c'est impossible.. it's an utter mess.. you have no control. You are wrong. You have entire control at your disposal, you have all along; your unconscious fears are suppressing that and outwardly manifesting as weakness.
And this is nothing to do with positivity.. it's to do with simply, seeing things for what they are.. TAKING things for what they are and NOT freaking out about it.
The key is to be the eye of the storm.. the eye always reside within you.. the seat of perception, your piece of the cosmos.. yours to twist and yours to turn along with, in harmony with the Chaos that surrounds.
As a culture we fear Chaos and yet rather than treat it with respect we treat it with frustration and depressive attitudes, demonizing it and relegating it's purity.. fencing off our own quality of life to where the shards and tatters seep through and send our neat ideals awry. So what are we left with.. struggling against the flow, fighting a falsely perceived war.
This is not a war, and you are fine..
So an exercise for those who feel like they're dying, sinking in the quicksand..
breathe, release your preconceptions of goodness and the deserved, and consciously..authentically, tell the Chaos you embrace it..
let yourself know that you accept what you cannot control..
This in effect, empowers your capacity to gain control.. one with the tide, and aligned with your personal power..
the fight becomes instead, a constant transformation..and you move into positions of being..
However, what complicates the ability to bring this state upon oneself is rigid structures of belief holding strange and hindering notions in place. And I'm not going to call wrongness on your system, but an efficient system adapts in order to evolve and solve issues.
Most, if not all of the time, our ideas of what is are holding us hostage.. when superstition is released, new perceptions are gained, and new realities..
this too is the nature of Chaos, a fundamentally disordered source of everything, and in itself void. We can each be considered chaotic forms, dual in nature.. yet craving constructs of order to give us purpose..not knowing what true equilibrium is.
When you realize this, it's yours to own.. seek strength within, not without.
Stop making problems for yourself...
