Understanding Chaos
“I don’t understand.”
Chaos is total confusion.
Chaos: complete disorder, vast chasm, void.
Total openness to a situation.
In pure experience, there is neither comprehension nor understanding; there is merely raw, first hand experience. Our wish to understand and name, obscures the pure experience. Any words used to describe experience belittle that experience.
Some call this a flower…:D
BUDDHA IN THE MUD is a blog - a living book based on the Dzogchen teachings. Our teacher is life, and life is karma. We are all Buddhas in the mud of concepts. 
So, if I experience chaos, or overwhelm, I need only be aware. Actually this has worked for me over and over. I can function very well in overwhelm by just staying aware.
