Chaos and Order - a different perspective

Chaos and Order - a different perspective

 
[thoughts by ~Sha'Tara~ ]
 
When I look at life through my own mind - that being the closest approximation of the concept of "life" I can ever know - I sense that life is product of both chaos and order. The pattern, ever repeating, is of chaos being manipulated into certain types of order, and of order endlessly "falling" back into chaos.
 
Creation: separating, gathering, making and filling. That's the basic pattern described by the biblical Genesis account in chap. 1. God "orders" and "things come about and fall into place as ordered, then are filled." Genesis, chap. 1 therefore could be called "the Book of Ordering."
 
Of course, the writer(s) of Genesis 1 had to infer that "God" created, not only order, but chaos as well. They had to insert their "faith statement" that God pre-existed both chaos and order. I am not ignoring that part, but making sure that I know to "separate fact from fiction" within this biblical context only. I'm not saying that Genesis is literal history (fact), I'm just staying within the context of the source I'm using, and I'm using this particular source because in "Christendom" it's a majority opinion. Based on the overwhelming numbers who believe in the necessity of some spirit deity overseeing the cosmos, the people obviously and desperately need a God who stands above and beyond "all that is" - immanent, transcendent, omniscient and eternal, however contradictory that must remain in view of man's expanding awareness of his universal surroundings and the effects of "time" on nature.
 
So in this short argument, I grant the need for such a God. Perhaps people's woeful interactions with their own corrupt, often vile leaders drives the belief that there exists one supreme incorruptible, trustworthy leader whom they can rely on. Therefore he/she/it is yours to invent and toy with as you please; to visualize in billions of different ways; to pray to, build for, bow to, worship; buy, sell, make war and kill in its name; crucify, behead, stone and impose on others by force, whatever turns your religious crank. I grant it and in so doing prove my point: that out of life's need for order, created beings can cause wonderful chaos and destroy life.
 
It is being said that we are standing on the edge of drastic, possibly terminal change here. The earth is not only contending with natural climate change, but with anthropogenic change caused by an exponential expansion in numbers of the most destructive and mindless predator species ever to manifest here. Consequently natural resources supplies are strained to the breaking point. Conflict is growing between "tribal needs for territory and security" and those who want it and have the power to take it. Monopolized by the military industrial complex, science and technology grind off weapons of mass destruction, particularly of the chemical and "medical" genre, while a globally prostituted media grinds out its own weapons of mass distraction. Globalist greed feeds destitution and dispossession which leads to violence, genocide and slavery - with or without chains and fences. These are the forces of chaos feeding from a disintegrating order.
 
What were the social forces that once held sway and kept back the tide of growing chaos?
 
Those who have read history know that time and again, certain individuals, sometimes large numbers of individuals, sacrificed their personal comforts by changing their ways and thus affecting others. These "movements" though marginalized by greater movements of wars and revolutions can be credited for saving this planet time and again. Wars that could have ended humanity were tempered by peace movements. Rampant diseases were arrested by discoveries of cures and changes made in lifestyle. Greedy and violent ways were turned by new teachings from individuals who were often mocked, jailed, spurned by family and friends and even killed; or by the timely publications of certain books. Slavery - the outright ownership of individuals by others - was officially ended in many countries and most eventually signed some sort of declaration of humans rights that outlawed it.
 
A look at today's social map shows an interesting pattern: the great evils that were arrested and should never have been heard of again are creeping back from every crack and fissure opening within Earthian society. The cracks and fissures are becoming gaping holes into which millions fall in yearly, never to be heard of again. Chaos is returning here because order has failed. It failed for only one reason: those put in charge of ordering have, instead, instituted order. Legalized it. The very mistake made by "the Lord God" of Genesis, Chapter 2, verse 4ff., has been continued by the rulers of earth: instituting control upon order thus forcing a return to chaos.
 
The thing about life is that it is ordered but not controlled. It must be allowed to flow wherever it may. Evolution is ordering and that cannot be controlled. The moment you can predict an outcome, know that you have encountered the force of chaos! For controlled order will always result in total chaos. Hence why "my people" (not of this planet) claim that there are no universal laws! It is the wizards of chaos who want us to believe in legalized order; in laws that "keep things from going to chaos". Nothing could be further from the truth: to remain free of chaos, order must be free to re-order itself at will, at need.
 
If you know of a "God" who insists on rules, regulations, laws, even on One Law such as the "Law of Love" -- know that your God is a Wizard of Chaos. A true creator knows to set things in motion according to order, and knows to let it be. To quote Genesis: "By the seventh day (seven being a perfect number of completion) God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done." (Gen. 2: 2-3) Note: the use of the title, "God" here is part of Matrix dis-information. It wasn't "God" who ordered creation during the "seven days." Man's real "God" doesn't actually show up until Genesis chapter 2 and verse 4. His title is "The Lord God" to remind all and sundry that this is a "LORD," i.e., a Power, a Force, a Ruler, a King, one who has the power of life and death over all of creation. This is not a creator but a user, a law-maker and by definition, a usurper. His subsequent actions against people leave no doubt of that.
 
I cannot help but wish the Bible had been printed entirely on these first 6 pages and the rest burned. Anyone who applies mind to the contents of Genesis, from chap. 1:1 to chap 2:3 knows that all that ever needed to be said, was said. The rest of the book is New York Times, Fox News, The Daily Planet, Mein Kampf, diatribes, hyperboles, with segments of Warner Brothers Looney Tunes thrown in... pseudo information, pseudo-history to push a very specific product: organized religion, i.e. the forces of ever-returning social chaos.
