Below is the second Eve of the Tool Army Periodical [TAP] “The Edge of Chaos”. Enjoy.
Reach out. Act. Grow.

Greetings in Light/Love. This is the second Eve (1.11-1.41) of the Tool Army Periodical (TAP) entitled: “The Edge of Chaos” We encourage you to read “Introduction to TAP” located in the Right Area if this is your first time visiting the TAP. And if you would like a brief overview of the last Eve’s subject matter, please read the “Recap” in the Right Area or in the PDF. (Note: Right Area only exists for the toolarmy.com version [paid membership site])

Overview
As we continue to move through our lives, it is easy to get sucked up in the furious currents of ‘normal everyday life’ which is surprisingly un-conscious, mechanical, and physical. Admittedly, this is a generalization. In this Eve of the Tool Army Periodical [TAP] “The Edge of Chaos” we will be discussing things like: • The interaction between the physical and the spiritual world, • models & theories in perspective to some new sciences, • and the spiritual and physical implications of the Edge of Chaos [technical term] that we are now experiencing right now.

This Eve of TAP will be slightly more far reaching than the last Eve, because we will be covering more topics, but they all fit together nicely and will continue to build on the foundational intentions of TAP.

What is the Edge of Chaos?
Some of you may be familiar with the term; others may not be so familiar. Some of you may think I’m referring to the statistical / economical term . . . I am not. Even though I will touch base on that aspect of this transitional period, I will be focusing primarily on the spiritual and physical manifestations of this complex principle that is found all throughout nature.

The Edge of Chaos occurs when a complex system (any system built up of many simple / complex systems [a human being is a complex system, so is a city, country, planet, et cetera]) reaches a critical point of complexity and chaotic interaction. At this point the system is experiencing the most turbulence it ever has, and interaction within the system is at an all-time high. This is also the point where the system is [has the opportunity to] operating at its current optimal level. This chaotic motion quickly spirals into a ‘critical mass’ or crosses through a threshold that tests the system. Once the threshold is crossed the system will spontaneously self-organize into a system of higher order than it was before. This is not a gradual change, but a very distinct phase transition. But, in order for you to truly understand what this means / implies we must address the term ‘chaos’ in the context that it is used in this article.

Chaos if beauty. Chaos is life. Chaos IS NOT disorder, confusion, formless, or unpredictable.
The traditional understanding of chaos is that of extreme confusion, disorder and formlessness. The emerging science of ‘Chaos / Complexity’ theory and ‘fractal sciences & geometry’ are showing us rather clearly that what we once thought was disorder, is actually perfect, infinite order. An order that truly displays the self-recognizing / organizing principles of what we consider ‘life’.

This is the basic foundation of the Edge of Chaos as we need it right now; we will expand upon this idea as we continue to build the framework for this presentation in the other areas. Think about how this fundamental concept applies to personal things like trauma, revelations, to social things like the economy. Then when you become more familiar start to notice the edge in things like natural processes like a butterflies metamorphosis, a volcanic eruption, or the celestial events of our universe.

Missing Mind / Mental Configurations

Something is missing. . . But it wasn’t always missing . . . and isn’t even really gone.
That title would appear confusing at first. In fact, it is still a little confusing, but I’m sticking with it. At this point I would like to introduce a certain understanding of spirituality into the discussion; the spirit world; the ‘non-physical.’ As we glide across the edges of The Edge of Chaos I find the potential for physical / spiritual work to be at an all-time high. Just as it is becoming easier and easier to introduce spiritual aspects of life into the community, it is meeting hard-core, rigid resistance from the skeptical, ‘prove-it’, tangible community.

Digression / Disclaimer
I would like to make something extremely clear at this point. It is a slight divergence from the presentation, but an appropriate one. I am in no way trying to convince those listed in party B [skeptics], or party A for that matter, one way or the other. It is not my place to make you believe, or force you to believe something you do not, or are not ready to. We are each on our own path. Those of you who are experiencing the more spiritual aspects of your path will continue to embrace this presentation and hopefully gain some valuable insight into yourself, other-selves, and the potential futures. Those who are skeptical, or highly-skeptical will approach the rest [possibly] of this presentation trying to pick it apart and ‘prove’ to themselves that it cannot, or simply ‘isn’t’ true. Both paths are perfectly acceptable by me. Your path has led you here for a reason, and it is ALWAYS up to you to decide what that reason it. No path is inherently ‘right’ or ‘wrong’.

Resume.
At some point the developing social resonance complex of Earth reached a level of extreme separation. For many eras man lived in harmony with the physical and the spiritual world. The feeling of separation was far less prevalent in all areas of life. The connection to the Earth, to the cosmos, to the physical elements, and to the spiritual elements seemed to be in greater harmony with each other (in comparison to where they are now).

That separation continued to grow until we now where we find ourselves living in a society resonating with an ‘official’ belief that if it cannot be physically proven [scientific method] it is either ‘wrong’ – ‘lies’ – ‘new age jargon’ – or something to that effect. This inherently limits the potential to advance understanding in certain areas on a generally accessible level. It is my opinion that the physical world cannot be separated from the spiritual world. They are parallel planes of existence that are constantly feeding back into one another in every moment, in every entity, as one, and as individuated portions of universal consciousness. To look at either individually would be analogous to observing the ripples in a body of water, and not the object that caused / influenced the ripples. And subsequently it would be like observing the ripples and the object and not identifying the source of the energy that put those potentials into motion. You can see how if you narrow your view down to only one of these two things, in the above 2 examples, you will have GREAT difficulty in understanding the ‘bigger picture’.

The missing mental configurations that I hinted to in the sub-headline of this article is that for every physical action / manifestation there is a corresponding spiritual action / manifestation and for every spiritual action / manifestation there is a corresponding physical action / manifestation. This mental configuration is being brought to your conscious awareness right now, by this article. It is now up to you to ponder what this means to you, and how you can benefit from it. The more you feed this into your pre-consciousness, the easier it will be for you to live in harmony with the two planes.

This may be a difficult concept for some
The spirit world is primarily concerned with helping you grow and evolve [advance, expand, ascend]. The physical world is a body for experience. Let’s begin, right now in our lives, to start looking at the relationship between the two worlds. Let’s start looking at the spiritual implications of physical actions, and let’s look at the physical manifestations of spiritual movements. Let’s look at evolution for example: Evolution (not the debatable origin aspect of evolution) is the process of growth or change in a physical complex system to make life easier, better, more efficient, or have a richer experience. Evolution’s spiritual counterpart is the evolution of consciousness and your understanding of self and other-selves to allow new creative capabilities and to make life better / more harmonious.

Let’s continue with examples of the physical / spiritual interaction. Gravity: physically is the force that pulls us toward the middle of this planet, into the core, or the center. It is pulling everything on this planet uniformly into one location. Spiritually gravity teaches us that once a system has reached a point of sufficient density that it begins denying the force of levity and strives to reach oneness. Spiritually this gravity unites us all into one by pulling all of us toward the center [brings us together].

(NOTE: This is not a technical discussion of physical gravity. This will be discussed in great detail in a subsequent Eve of the Tool Army Periodical, for the classical understanding of Gravity is severely flawed)

Begin contemplating this interaction with EVRYTHING that you do and feel, and remember the interaction goes both ways. I want to now tell you a more personal every day type of story that will be more easy to relate to than the theories of gravity and evolution.

Glorious Grease and the lessons to be learned
I was eating some greasy restaurant food the other day (physical movement). Shortly afterwards I felt sick to my stomach. Recently in my life I’ve made the realization of how important eating healthy is (a spiritual movement). My higher-self (spiritual self) manifested an upset stomach into the physical world of experience to try and teach me that “what you ate is not good for you.” This resulting manifestation is also the product of a physical / spiritual imbalance. I had previously made the conscious decision / observation that this food was bad for me and I should not eat it. I then chose to eat it and put that bad food into my body. This physical action sends ripples into my spirit self telling it “I don’t respect my body enough to feed it the food I know is good for it” – That physical signal is then processed by my higher self that determines “ok, then I will manifest a physical experience that will help you learn that lesson.”. Time elapses, and then the manifestation occurs and I have the opportunity to learn. If I do not learn, my higher-self will continue to give me those opportunities (upset stomachs), or increase the intensity of the lesson (induce vomiting, hospitalization, et cetera) until I learn the lesson.

A very clear sign that your higher self is trying to teach you something is if you find yourself in the same situations over and over again. This generally means you are not learning the lessons your higher-self has provided for you.

Well . . . I don’t know about all that.
Some would look at the above example and say, well I ate bad food, or maybe it wasn’t prepared right, or maybe it was spoiled, and it resulted in a chemical interaction in my stomach that caused me to become sick. . . there was no ‘spiritual manifestation.’ To me, this is not a tough obstacle of thinking to overcome. It is, in fact, quite simple. When you physically send a signal into the spirit world it travels through and manifests in that world according to the natural laws that govern it. Conversely, when the spirit world sends a signal into the physical world it travels through it and manifests according to the natural laws that govern it. BUT, there is a big difference. Energy is infinitely intelligent. When a spiritual signal is obeying the physical laws, it is obeying and aware of ALL the laws in their true nature, not necessarily the laws we currently think to be true and absolute, and vice versa. If you meditate on that train of thought it will lead you to amazing revelations. So, if your high self plans the lesson of you ‘learning how to respect your body and not eat bad food’ it plans that lesson for you by sending those signals into the physical world. That signal can then act within our physical laws of space and time and EASILY cause you to get sick, or fat, or skinny, or tired, or ill, et cetera with a variety of different space/time interactions.

Models & Theories, new phenomena

This brings us back to science (models & theories)
We are all familiar with models and theories. Models are designed to help us observe, measure, and expect certain things to happen in certain situations. Theories build a mental understanding and technical framework for the ‘actual’ [observed] functioning of phenomenon.

Right now we seem to be at a very dogmatic nexus in our progress as an intelligent society. We believe our models and theories have reached a pinnacle of understanding; A pristine state of sophistication. And for the most part we have done a really damn good, impressive job. What really holds us back, is dogma. When we have an officially accepted model for gravity, or electromagnetism, or anything else, if someone demonstrates otherwise they are smashed by the institution. This is not fantasy talk, this is real. People’s careers et ruined, reputations destroyed, and in some extreme cases . . . murdered for extending their work beyond the ‘accepted model of how things are.’ This is not hard to see, you studied it in history class, and it is still happening now, just on a much more sophisticated level.

There are very real and serious things to consider when paradigm shifting information is discovered and is being planned to be introduced to the public. People who are experts in one field, may find themselves out of jobs and experts at a flawed science. People who stand to have a lot of prestige and ego destroyed have to actually suffer through that very real emotional and personal trauma. Now some of you will think “but it is for the greater good? Wouldn’t that be an easy choice? Make the sacrifice if it’s for the greater good and you KNOW that it is right?” ----Well, we just talked about how KNOWING that something is right for you and others does not necessarily mean you’re going to make that choice in your own life. We talked about something as simple as eating at a restaurant when we know we shouldn’t . . . now think about how much harder it would be for some people who have to make a MAJOR life-altering realization. It’s tough, and that difficulty is real.

On the other hand. . . Another misconception is that when a new model comes along, and demonstrates new phenomena, that the old model is worthless. That is not necessarily true! Use the old model for what it does best, and use the new model for what it does best! Don’t simply claim that the new phenomena cannot be true because it extends beyond the scope or range of the existing model or theory. In rhetoric, it seems so simple.

For instance: We are all taught the ‘conservation of energy’ yet it has been scientifically proven to be not true on numerous occasions, but because it is observed and measured beyond the scope of the official model it is ignored, or discredited for whatever reason or not. Another example is perpetual motion. We are all taught that perpetual motion is not possible yet thousands of perpetual motion machines have been built and observed in the last 50 years! Another thing to think about is this; the electron. The electron is perpetually in motion creating all the energy it needs every moment of its existence!

Cloak and Dagger, not the point here
At this point I would like to address those individuals heavily immersed in the ‘cloak and dagger’ area of life. I understand FULLY that the official models and theories are not the ones that are really being used behind the scenes and that public knowledge is severely limited by careful design to keep us in a certain controllable and predictable state, and to protect certain interests. That is pretty common knowledge. However; that is not the purpose of this discussion, and I do not subscribe to fear mongering. Even though these things happen, I do not fear them, and I do not let them consume my thoughts and intentions. TAP will cover these topics and their implications in the future with more focus on the occult, but this article is designed to help individuals overcome their personal attachments to these models and theories and begin to apply these new fantastic wonderful discoveries [that are happening at a rapid pace] in their own lives without the officials telling them it’s ok.

Thoughts / Actions
Below I want to include a paraphrased passage from an article I wrote called “ The Spirituality of Food” ( http://dvfugit.com/communicate/?p=6) which is part II of “ The Morality of Food” ( http://dvfugit.com/communicate/?p=4).

Your thoughts do not originate from the physical plane!
There is not a scientist on this world that can conclusively, with the scientific method, tell you where a thought comes from. They can show you papers of studies done under observation, they can show you pictures of electrical clouds going on in people brains, and they can explain -in great detail- the behavior of synopses in your brain, but they CANNOT tell you HOW that forms a thought, or WHERE that thought comes from. It is my belief that thoughts originate in the spiritual world and send signals into the physical world that then begin to manifest all of these phenomena that we can observe and experience. That is a very important point to wrap your mind around, and is a great example of how your spiritual world directly manifests into your physical reality. For instance: if you get the thought to go sit on your patio, a signal is sent into the physical plane, a bio-electrical signal is generated in your brain, agreed upon, and then the physical experience of being on the patio is manifested. This physical experience then feeds back into the spiritual world as “enjoyment / success” or whatever purpose you needed to achieve on the patio.

A simpler example is this: You get the thought to experience / eat an apple. You then physically experience / eat an apple.

Having this understanding, we can see why scientists are so confused by the brain [and many other things]. They have not yet begun to observe, measure, and understand the spiritual world which is intimately and inseparably ‘one’ with the physical world.

Let’s wrap things up
There are very real things to consider on a personal level, and on a social level when introducing paradigm shifting material; material that will literally change the way life is lived and learned. Everything that we have learned here can help us individually overcome this challenge in our selves.

Examine in your own life how your higher-self manifests experiences into your physical reality. Realize that you move through your own Edge of Chaos all the time. You might find yourself in a terribly difficult time in your life where everything seems to be spiraling ‘out of control’ and then something happens. You re-order yourself and are in a higher state of understanding.

We are approaching a time where we are all experiencing a global Edge of Chaos and are at the doorstep of a planetary spontaneous phase transition. This will take us into a new, higher-order than we are capable of achieving / experiencing right now. We are all, individually, and collectively, playing a HUGE role in this process. Every thought you do, counts. Every move you make, counts. I believe it is time to move through the Edge of Chaos that is the turbulence created in yourself by shedding the old methods of understanding, your own personal Models & Theories, and grasping the new and brilliant information that is resurfacing in our society everyday.

This information has existed for thousands, and thousands of years. The ancients talked about it, lived it, and there are cultures on our sphere right now that are still VERY connected to this ancient harmony between the spiritual and the physical.

This presentation is by no means a comprehensive or overly technical explanation of the above explained topics. This is meant as a starting point and will be expanded through conversation, future Eves of TAP, and in the Right Area of this edition or future editions.
