Beautiful Chaos

Our engineered human world, delighting in separation from the natural world, abhors chaos. 

We prefer order. Linearity. Predictability. Conformity. Consensus. Perfection is a mythic ideal. 

But life is not engineered and orderly. It is messy, and beautifully chaotic.

Change and unpredictability are the operating system, the one we humans try, relentlessly, to defy.

The Universe laughs, throwing us a violent storm, to remind us. 

Is it possible for us to learn to be with chaos and uncertainty, knowing the rightness of these experiences as part of the natural order?

In Syntropic World, when we get the syntropic design of the enterprise in good shape, and the ecology becomes one of high trust and integrity, we have created the potential to solve problems together by deploying polarity and chaos as design features, not aberrations.

Polarity by design.

Beautiful chaos, by design. Intentional. 

The semi-permeable cell membrane of the Syntropic architecture holds its shape under the guidance of the steward leader.

Out of this chaos emerge solutions. Unpredictable. Synergistic. 

From chaos comes coherence.

This is the natural order of creativity. 

Those of us who seek to build a world that supports the increased well-being of Earth and all her creatures must not only design ecologies for synergy (https://syntropic.world/designing-ecologies-for-synergy-the-greatest-exponential-technology/), where chaos is invited to allow emergence and coherence; we must allow ourselves to be present to the chaos and confusion, granting permission for the strange attractor of coherence to emerge. 

It is about both and scenario. 

Design the ecology, be able to stand in the chaos and uncertainty.

PS. I have an article in Syntropic Contemplations, coming out on August 9th, that goes into the design requirements with more detail. https://syntropic.world/syntropic-contemplations-signup/
