We have been discussing the “laws of chaos.” These aren’t really laws at all for they are based in illusion, unreality and thus have no real effect. However, our egoic thought system gives them enough power to block our awareness of their lack of truth. The first “law” is The truth is different for everyone. That would mean we each have our own truth independent of anyone else. The second “law” is Each one must sin, and therefore deserves attack and death. This would mean we are each caught up in the helpless web of “sinning” and thus deserve to be attacked and punished by death. These two “laws” alone sound pretty chaotic and they do cause us to be in a chaotic state of mind, unaware of our true essence and nature. The purpose of these chaotic laws is to keep us aligned with the idea of separation and keep us distracted from our own awareness of our wholeness.
This week we will look at two more “chaotic laws” and how they keep us further ensconced in our chaotic world of separation.
The arrogance on which the laws of chaos stand could not be more apparent than emerges here. Here is a principle that would define what the Creator of reality must be; what the Creator of reality must think and what the Creator of reality must believe; and how this One must respond, believing it. It is not seen as even necessary that this One be asked about the truth of what has been established for this One’s belief. The One Child can tell the Creator this, and the Creator has but the choice whether to take their word for it or be mistaken. This leads directly to the third preposterous belief that seems to make chaos eternal. For if the Creaor cannot be mistaken, the Creator must accept the One Child’s belief in what they are and hate them for it. T-23.II.6:1-6
With this third “chaotic law” we have reinforced the fear of our Source and made it impossible to turn to Source for any help whatsoever. The One becomes something to be avoided because this One “hates” us and desires to “punish” us. We now believe that Source is our “enemy” who caused our misery making any appeal seem useless. This now makes conflict inevitable. Now salvation appears to remain impossible because the Savior has become the enemy. So, we feel hopeless with no apparent way out of the cycle of misery and conflict. What a web we have allowed our egoic thought system to weave.
The ego values only what it takes. This leads to the fourth law of chaos, which, if the others are accepted, must be true. This seeming law is the belief you have what you have taken. By this, another’s loss becomes your gain, and thus it fails to recognize that you can never take away save from yourself. Yet all the other laws must lead to this. For enemies do not give willingly to one another, nor would they seek to share the things they value. And what your enemies would keep from you must be worth having, because they keep it hidden from your sight. T-23.II.9:1-7
This fourth “chaotic law” is rooted in the belief in lack. It operates from the premise that we live in a limited world where we must take from others what we need to be happy or even survive. It denies the fact that reality is limitless and has an infinite supply of anything we could possibly need or want. This “chaotic law”, like the others, is a complete denial of truth and reality. Yet, when we align our mind and thought system with the belief in separation, we buy into it at the expense of the awareness of our true happiness. This chaotic thought system with which we have aligned our mind is truly madness. It feels insane at times and it truly is. We may, at any moment, change our mind and align with the One Holy Mind we all share. As we begin to understand that we have made a choice to align with madness, we no longer need to even try to understand the madness but shift to align with the light of truth within us. It is a matter of releasing our hold on madness and allowing the holy and divine within us to surface in our awareness. The effort is slight and requires only a little willingness, for truth shines its light in our mind and all darkness will disappear in its light. It is a matter of letting go and letting what is be.
