They have promised to devalue our currency (and have been doing it).

They are preparing law to make vaccine compulsory.

They have promised to increase power tarrif.

They have promised others we don't know about.

The IMF doesn't mean well for Nigeria and the FG is selling the country.

At least some people are not relying on mainstream media only for information, hence, they are waking up.

Order from Chaos

Order, the known, appears to be symbolically associated with masculinity. Maybe it is because the primary hierarchical structure of human society is masculine. Men are and throughout history have been the builders of towns and cities, the bricklayers, the operators of heavy machinery, the engineers. In its positive guise, order is stability. However order can be pushed too far. When this happens, an imbalance manifests itself. Order, when it becomes extreme, is terrible and destructive. Extreme order leads to forced migration and Nazi concentration camp.

Chaos, the unknown, is symbolically associated with the feminine. This is partly because all the things we have come to know were born, originally, of the unknown just as every being we encounter was born of a mother. Chaos is mother, origin, source. It is the substance from which all things are made. In its positive guise, chaos is possibility itself, the source of ideas. Chaos is the realm of gestation and birth. As a negative force, chaos is the lioness who in trying to protect her cubs, marks you as a potential predator and is ready to tear you to pieces.

All our life, we inhabit order surrounded by chaos. We are always occupying a known territory surrounded by the unknown. We see and touch objects but in the deepest sense, we are not adapted to the world of objects but to the meta-realities of order and chaos. Chaos and order as they coexist make up the eternal, transcendent environment of the living.

Why am I talking about chaos and order? Because many things start to fall into place when you begin to consciously understand the world in this manner. Wonderful things happen when the knowledge of your body and soul falls into alignment with the knowledge of your intellect, and understanding reality as chaos and order aids this. This is the kind of knowledge in which you know not only what but how. It tells you how to act. In fact you find a way, a way that is narrow with order to your left and chaos to your right. "How narrow the gate and constricted the road that leads to life. And those who find it are few" (Matthew 7:14).

Do you want to have a balanced and meaningful life? Then one of your foot has to be firmly planted in order and security while the other is in chaos, possibility, and adventure. Life will no longer be dull and boring. Life will become intense and gripping. When you are so involved in what you are doing that you give it your full attention and do not notice time passing by, know that there and then you are right there on the border between order and chaos. There is a subjective meaning you will encounter there which others will likely neither see nor understand. That meaning is coming from your deepest being. The good feeling you have then is a sign that you are occupying a space and time that is proper for you. In every sense, this is the right place to be.

You have lived through many situations and every lived situation has the two fundamental elements of chaos and order. Regardless of where you are, there are some things you can identify and make use of, and there are some things you neither know nor understand. Whoever you are, wherever you may be, whether at Aso Rock or at your village, some things are under your control and some things are not. The president can therefore have an understanding with the farmer. We find ourselves in places we can master, surrounded by things and situations that make us vulnerable.

I know you want to be stable and secure. I know you want order. But order is not enough. Why? Because there are many vital and important new things you have to learn. Chaos is necessary although chaos can be too much. You have a limited capacity hence too much chaos can overwhelm you. But you don't want too much order either - you won't grow. So what do you do? Place one foot in what you have understood and mastered and the other in what you are currently exploring and trying to master. Then some things are under your control and you are secure, and at the same time some things are unknown to you and you are alert and engaged. Then you have positioned yourself for something to move from the potentiality of chaos to the actuality of order.

I don't trust our government on this. Why are they subscribing to this?

amrichy:
What is your point really?

Good question. Upcoming posts will make things clearer and answer your question. So consider this post just one out of a series.

Chaos and Order

Reality unfolds before us as chaos and order.

Chaos is the things and situations we neither know nor understand. We neither know nor understand them because we have not been there, we have not explored the territory. It is the domain  of ignorance which extends without limit beyond the boundaries of all ideas and disciplines. Chaos is where you find yourself when things fall apart, when your relationship ends, when you lose your job, when your business shuts down. You find yourself in chaos when you are confused. Chaos is where you are when you don't know where you are and what you do when you don't know what you are doing.

Order on the other hand is explored territory. It is the structure of society. We have a hierarchy of place, position, and authority. That is order. Order is the traditions we have. It is our home, our religion, our country. You have order when the world behaves according to your desires and expectations. Order is when you are aware what you are doing is producing what you want to happen. It is order because you can predict it. You do something so that something else happens and it happens. You know where you are, you know what you are doing and things are working. There is nothing to be nervous about so you are calm. You feel competent. Why? Things are working.

The nature of reality is order and chaos. We experience both.

You want some level of certainty in your life. You want stability. You want things to go according to your plan. You have order when it happens that way. Order is a place you like to be in. In order you can make long-term plans. What you may not have noticed is what is lurking beneath the order - chaos.

Your position at your place of work is order. Chaos is when you lose your job. Order is the stability of having your partner in marriage. Chaos is that stability crumbling under your feet when you discover your partner's infidelity. Order is driving the car you have owned for years on the road. Chaos is when the brakes fail. Order is when you enjoy health of mind and body. Chaos is heart failure or cancer. So look out even when you are enjoying order, you can land in chaos in a second.

Could one say that reality is made up of order and chaos? Let us see.

You have two brain hemispheres - left and right. So it looks like reality must have two elements otherwise why would we need two hemispheres? A good question to ask then is, "What are they specialized for?" It turns out the left hemisphere is specialized for those places where routines work. And the right hemisphere is specialized for those places you go when you don't know what you are doing. So the left hemisphere is specialized for order and the right hemisphere is specialized for chaos.

Order and chaos are not the domains of matter but they matter. Order and chaos make up the nature of nature.

I know a lot of delivery companies don't do heavy goods but please if you know of any delivery company that can pickup and deliver just one 50kg bag of rice, please let me know.

If you know one, you may drop their contact as well.

Thank you.

Kindly help interpret my dream last night.

I was carrying a coffin with somebody. We seemed to have stumbled and then we could see the face and legs of the man in the coffin. His leg needed to be readjusted and we tried to readjust it. All of a sudden, the man woke up. At this point we had some fear. The man turned to the other person with me on the other side of the coffin, shook his hand and told him something I didn't hear. Afterwards he turned to me, shook my hand and said, "I am fighting your cause." At that point the fear in me started giving way to happiness.

And I woke up.

I just finished counting dagote spaghetti it has 109 stick inside. By tomorrow I will start counting DAT of rice.u too don't stay at home doing nothing.

Very funny.

Why does it not make headlines that our immune system is the biggest weapon for this virus or any other virus?

Because that question will lead to another question, "What will boost my immune system?", and the answer will neither lead to drug nor vaccines.

My sister dreamt that I won a raffle draw of N5million.

My friends in her dream who were lazy and unwilling to work found it hard to believe it, however, my winning that amount got them to roll up their sleeves and begin looking for work.

Kindly help interpret.

Why do I feel that if the route we want to go is lockdown then let there be a country-wide lockdown at once?

Is it because I don't want to hear cases of reinfection from other unlockeddown states when lockeddown states are just coming out of lockdown?

But the poorest of the poor don't have bank accounts.

So what is this talk about cash transfer to them?

If they end up increasing electricity tarriff this period, it will be a display of a high level of insensitivity.

MNDY:
Mehn I'm tired. It's not even up to 1yr yet.

My return back home from NYSC is the worst decision of my life.

Everyday I feel like I don't belong to the family house anymore.

I had/have plans of getting rent-money and leaving to Abuja to go stay on my own before this whole Coronavirus issue came up. Even though I don't have the money yet, I am trusting GOD

I can relate with this.

I feel you.

May God provide the funds and uplift you.

Printing more money is the reason our fathers used N3,000 and started a business in the early 80's and made it big (3k had value), but today the same N3,000 cannot feed one for one week.

It is a wicked person who understands what printing money backed by nothing does to the economy that will be quick to bring it up as a solution.

Why is virtually every economy around the world experiencing boom and bust cycles? Because every central bank prints money.

Printing money whether done by the US or any other country worsens the state of the economy. But greedy people are not ready to admit this.

No wonder they don't teach monetary matters in school, so that many people who will read this post of mine will not know what I am even talking about.
