Chaotic flavors of life.

Most of us long for happiness, without sorrow or the chaos, however the Universe can not exist without both order and chaos, out of which creation comes.
Therefore our dreams must also cohere with our nightmares to merge into a meaningful existence; it is like spirituality merging into mysticism. The basic tenets of Hinduism and the Upanishads convey this metaphorically. The Universe just like individuals is highly fragmented and chaotic just like each persons lives therefore to make meaning of our existence we have to interconnect these two opposite forces and their myriad manifestations in a delicate balance. It is like the different foods we eat which our mixed in our digestive system, like the churning ocean where the waves rise and fall and yet there is equilibrium.

This explains why crossovers and collisions between order and chaos come in these repeated cycles in our lives. Even the big bang came out of chaos and the creation now looks for order which must triumph. There is no sin or goodness we have to learn by making mistakes and correcting our course in our objectively in life and existential dilemmas have to be tackled with knowledge to drive away the darkness. It is always a difficult juggling act throughout life, order out of chaos, hope out of despair, trust out of betrayal and courage in the face of formidable odds. Hence each person is different and strikes out on a different version of his truth and has his own opportunity. Like a football we have to get kicked around the field of life before the truth dawns on us and we can focus on how to successfully lead our lives. Wisdom comes from chaos as we evolve and think originally, we have the ability to find the path and need not blindly follow a group like sheep, or be manipulated like ill informed persons.
Most religions have an orderly or structured approach to life i.e. like a 3 or 5 course meals that are aimed at satisfying our yearning and quest in life. The soup or baptism, the initiation or starters, the indoctrination which is the main course, and the desserts which are what most believers expect salvation or deliverance. Real life is not so orderly it is like a plate of rice with all sorts of accompaniments and side dishes, where each one mixes and matches the food according to their choice and problems. People flock to religion in the hope that life can be like the miracle fruit Synsepalam dulcificum a west African bush cherry that has a weird effect of making anything sour taste really sweet.

Life, death and possibly rebirth comes out of churning in our consciousness, the dialogue is mostly between mans intellect, compassion and wisdom which is the ultimate combination of the soul. To live in an exceptionally exciting time, you have to follow the instinct in which sex-sin-salvation, combined with powerful mysticism is the silken thread that tenuously binds us to our heart and mind. This will open out a powerful new vista of splendor which has a heady mix of romance, sex chaotic flavors and ends up connecting with the Universe. -Vinay
