When I opened my email this early morning I found a long letter from Carolyn Myss about some of the chaos we are all experiencing individually and globally. I’ve attached several paragraphs that I thought might shed some light for us all.

After all these years of teaching, some things still baffle and challenge me again and again, among them is, What exactly is this business of consciousness about that we are in if not to become conscious? When anything becomes habit, in particular your life, what becomes of the challenge of becoming conscious? How is that task supposed to be accomplished? Of what are you supposed to become conscious? (Please don’t tell me your wounded history). Ideally, our task is to become conscious of how we direct the power of our spirit into acts of creation during the course of our life. More or less, that sums it up. An illuminated soul is one who is on to the game, who really understands what Buddha meant by seeing clearly through the world of physical illusion and not being controlled by that world. Jesus would say, Be in the world but not of the world; Same truth, different words. What we are meant to become conscious of is how well we live in accordance to these high cosmic truths while in physical form.

The common thread in every experience of Divine chaos is one of truth; specifically, a person has fallen out of alignment with his or her core truths. Divine chaos is a course corrector, a way of bringing down the systems that distraction built in order that they can be replaced with systems or structures designed with conscious thought. That’s the ideal, of course, and ideals are rarely achieved; thus, we are visited by Divine chaos again and again. It is not easy, this business of becoming a conscious human being, but what’s your other option?

As I now look at America and the Divine chaos sweeping across the land, I am not surprised in the least at the situation this nation is in. Divine chaos is a course corrector, a force that demands truth be returned to the system where it has grown dim. And truth has grown dim in America. We have tampered with this nation’s Sacred Contract; most specifically, its commitment to freedom, justice, and liberty. And now we stand on the brink of losing this great democracy and we are kidding ourselves if we turn the other way and think such a thing cannot happen. It can. History is replete with examples of nations that have risen to great positions of power and wealth and then fallen, precisely because they came to believe that such a fall could not happen to them. No nation is immune from the lessons of history; not Rome, not Greece, not the great English empire, not any nation. We must never take for granted that America will always be free and wealthy because that’s the way it has always been; and because that’s the way we want it to be. Consciousness demands that we see clearly the problems that have brought the chaos into our lives and that we examine these problems in order to find the wisest solutions lest we find ourselves in such a predicament again; a predicament of believing a government could run itself honorably.

Always remember that chaos is about truth; find the truth and align yourself to that one single force and the chaos will settle around you. That is always the case, though it may take time. Divine chaos is always a messenger of truth.

I love this prayer and I’m sending it to you in the hopes that you’ll enjoy it as well.

Love,

Caroline

Give me a candle of the Spirit, O God, as I go down into the deeps of my being. Show me the hidden things, the creatures of my dreams, the storehouse of forgotten memories and hurts. Take me down to the spring of my life, and tell me my nature and my name. Give me freedom to grow, so that I may become that self, the seed of which you planted in me at my making. Out of the deeps I cry to you, O God
