chaos and order

Life in context of roles and responsibilities brings instability and the unknown, crash boom bah. The context is happening with tonight a full moon and mercury moving into retrograde. Astrology is not a science - astronomy is. They use similar terminology and have their own mutually exclusive meaning behind the words. People seem to be spinning howdt of control and the grip at the beginning of this month was tenuous at best.

Radical efficiency is the buzzword for accelerating change. The best of the old and the best of the new says the old man as he describes his solar oven in his house without walls. The federal government is on his case with regulations, the state has all its land use laws and water ownership games, the county just sees property for its task value. Controlled chaos has been completely bottled up by this new world order that has so many ordinances that we soon may need a permit to take a pee. Innovative permacultureoff the grid is essentially against the law.

Chaos begets order and order begets chaos. The fringes are the place where meaningful dialog takes place, while the order is the muddle in the middle that has people spinning there wheels by being paired off against each other in meaningless contusions that offset net work. The system sets the bounds of how you have to do what you have to do without providing the autonomy to get it done. If you surf the edge, there is creativity, but there also is a compulsion to reign in the chaos.

The best orders that nature finds are generally those that come about when an ecosystem has descended into complete chaos. The old tried and true methods have been modified and stretched to put the fringy glitter that attracts mass interest and the function of the system has been incrementally compromised too many times to go back. So the pieces of the puzzle are all there, but they no longer fit to build a sustainable picture. The system collapses and something else becomes the dominant focus and all of a sudden, things are working again, using some of the natural redundency that nature reserves for when things get chaotic.

Stock-piles will build-up where resources accumulate when they have no system of distribution. The less of the existing order that is carried through the crisis, the more natural the new order will appear out of the chaos. Maslow's hierarchy of needs is not being met at a basic ground level in the economic system, and the product is chaos starting to take control because of restriction of the arteries of innovation. Can somebody turn off all the rules so that we can focus on function rather the generation of more? Cui bono?

My suggestion is to evaluate what you know in terms of where you wish to be. You should enjoy doing what you do and minimizing your urgent needs to cover the cost of being and doing. The new paradigm will be a fractal of the old paradigm; we need unmanaged change where the true test of ability is being able to apply what you know to a new situation that you may never have seen or thought about before. The hybrid will be the best of the old, the best of the new. Science and Spirituality joining hands to endeavor to a new view of what we know about how things work.
