The laws of chaos are anything buts laws. Laws come from and create order. But chaos is anything but order. We have mistakenly thought that chaos is reality. So in an effort to understand the chaos we take for reality, we make up laws to try and make sense of it all. However, no matter how hard we try to understand the way chaos works; the only consistency is that there is no consistency in the laws of chaos.
The first law of chaos is that each of us has our own truth and they are different. This thought that is essential in this idea is that we are all separate. We think we have complete control over our life and everything about it. The essential belief in this idea is that one thought us better than another, or one person’s way of thinking is more correct than another’s. So someone has to be more right in any situation. In thinking this way and believing it, we think we must attack the one who has the “less right” way of thinking and prove that our way is right. Is it obvious that this creates chaos?
This way of establishing degrees of truth is directly opposite of the first principle of the Course which states there are no degrees of difficulty in miracles. Miracles are the correction of mistaken thoughts. And there is no thought more difficult to correct than another. So how could one thought be more correct than another? If we understand that all untrue thoughts are equally untrue, we begin to understand that all chaotic thoughts are easily changed if we let go of our attachment to them.
Any thought resulting from an idea of separation can be brought to light. We needn’t understand it, for it cannot be understood. But bringing it calmly into the light of truth lets the reason of God shine on it. What is true will remain, and what is illusion or chaos will fade away and disappear into the gentleness of God’s radiant light and love. We recognize God within us and feel the peace and joy of God flow through us and extend to each an every one of us who are all One in God. Be at peace and let the laws of chaos we cling to fall away into nothingness, leaving only peace in our heart.
