Order

On the one hand, God/Love/the Universe/the All There Is is unconditioned, meaning that the Universe is not under any laws. All things are possible. On the other hand, the Universe unfolds in perfect order.

How is it possible for the Universe to be under no laws and yet unfolding in order?

As I was travelling on the bus this morning I observed the different kinds of outfits people had on. In one area there are lots of Hasidic Jews; the men wear long black coats, black trousers and black hats. As the bus moved along I saw many people of different nationalities; one woman had on an African costume, some people had suits, some dressed casual. What struck me was that no matter what people had on, they'd done so under order.

If you're wearing jeans and a top and jacket like I have on now, you wouldn't put on your underwear over your jeans, unless you're a fashion designer making a statement on the catwalk. Being a conventional girl, I usually start off with my underwear, then my top and trousers and then my jacket. I also tend to wear my socks first before putting on some shoes or boots. Even if you're a follower of fashion, you still put on your outfit in a particular order. For instance it is now fashionable for women to wear tights with leggings. I never saw anyone with tights over their shoes.

The different outfits that people have on represents the unconditioned nature of the universe where all realities are possible; while the way people wear their clothes represents the order of the Universe.

Even buses are operated in order. If the bus driver pushed the accelerator pedal without first turning on the ignition, the bus is going nowhere. There is even an order in which passengers got on the bus. Well, the Brits are very much into queuing. There is an unwritten rule that most people follow about waiting for buses. You stand behind the queue. When the bus arrives people tend to be very polite and let other people on before them, at least that has been my experience.

"After you," a passenger might say.
"No, after you."

While the bus driver is probably thinking "I wish someone would just bloody get on the bus!"

Not everyone follows the queuing system, however. There are some areas in London where it's every man for himself, men and children trampled.

But I digress.

So there is a system of getting on the bus. You beckon the bus driver to stop, you either get on board in an orderly fashion or scramble on, you show your ticket or rest your Oyster Card on the machine, and the driver takes off.

When it comes to getting off, passengers do so in an orderly manner. You make your intentions clear that you need to get off at the next stop by pressing the bell. The driver stops at the next stop and you get off. It can be hilarious when several people getting off at the same stop are ringing the bell at the same time. Bus drivers must be infinitely patient. Sometimes all hell breaks lose when people forget to press the bell and blame the driver for not stopping.

The traffic flows under order and most people follow the traffic codes. The roads in the UK are pretty quiet. The only time drivers honk is when they want to alert someone or prevent an accident. Generally, the only sounds I hear are emergency vehicles and road workers drilling into the roads. If there were no traffic lights, it would be chaotic.

On my bus I did notice two cars on the side of the road. It looked like there had been a minor accident and both were exchanging details. At least they looked calm about it.

Even when we communicate we do so in order. There are many ways I can write this piece but the words have to appear in order, at least in an order that loosely conforms to the English grammar.

At one level, everyone is under order. It doesn't matter whether you're living in a region that appears to be in chaos, as long as you're experiencing life you're practising order. However, this kind of order is relative and dependent on the individual(s) intentions. There is another kind of order which I see is Absolute - Order. When you're one with Order, you're in the flow of all events. Everything you do unfolds in perfect order of everyone concerned. For example, if I was going to meet someone and I was running late, chances are the other person will also be running late. Why? Because our intention is one and unfolding in perfect order.

It is the Absolute Order that works through me and manifests as my life experiences, my body, health and harmony in all my affairs and enables me to meet the right people at the right time.

So instead of experiencing relative order I choose to join with Absolute Order. Then everything unfolds perfectly and in alignment with the all.

I am Order.

ps: I wrote this article two months ago but it didn't seem like the right time to get it published so I kept it in draft. Now it fits in perfectly with who I am being.
