Chaos

Quantum Psychology says if you can't allow energy to flow, it will yield chaos; but if you let it be, it will reorder and reorganize itself at a higher, deeper & more connected universal level.  If you expand the context out far enough you will find order in chaos. 

Imagine a lake.  If a large rock was thrown into the lake it would cause a big ripple.  If we resist the ripple by placing a circular wall around the ripple to contain it, the chaotic ripple will gain strength.  If we expand the context of the ripple to include the whole lake the chaotic ripple will reach a deeper connection to the rest of the lake.  In the same way the appearance of chaos within an individual system, if allowed, ultimately will take you to the entire lake. 

By including, allowing and expanding the context of individual chaos, infinitely if necessary, a new order is revealed.  This means that emotions must be experienced and allowed "as energy" the chaos must be allowed as energy.  This nonresistance to chaos helps the person to reorganize themselves at a new level.  Stated another way, if you allow chaos, the underlying unity or united field that connects us will be revealed.  LET THE CHAOS BE AND IT WILL LET YOU BE.

I read that book many years ago and yesterday as I was looking through my books I realized how much I learned from it.  Everything in our world is energy.  It condenses into somethingness and evaporates into nothingness.  When we resist anything it will gain power and can create a barrier that also may cause frustration or illness.  Last week I read in the news about a family that was caught in a flash flood.  The energy of the water has to find a way to go and if it does not flow freely it builds up tremendous strength and can be damaging to everything in its path.

I love the song that I learned as a child, Row, row, row your boat; gently down the stream; Merrily, merrily, merrily merrily; life is but a dream.  If we can practice allowing the energy to flow through us the chaos will reorder itself and empower us rather than become a block.
