THE STORY OF THE FARMER AND HIS CHICKEN
Suddenly, I found myself returned to a familiar place where puzzles and Rubix cubes ruled and floated around, some orderly while others naughtily and uncontrolled.
The girl, the goddess of this realm appeared to me again.
"Rubix, why did you bring me back here?" I asked the goddess Rubix.
"I have another puzzle for you to solve", she replied to me.
"Damnit, we are in the middle of a battle. I don't have time for a puzzle", I replied to her.
"You have no choice. You received the channel of magic to both the Realms of Order and the Realms of Chaos. What do you think a clash between these two opposing magic realms will do to you and to the world around you", Rubix told me.
"What would happen to me when Order and Chaos clash and fuses?" I asked.
"The world will be annihilated, or at least a part of it. Entire city or kingdoms would be engulfed by the consequences of such a clash of magic", Rubix told me to my horror.
"Damn, why did that Seamus shove the bloody Inheritance of Order into me?" I asked.
Suddenly, a mandala, a three-dimensional pattern, materialized before me. Within its intricate design, objects and symbols whirled around each other, defying laws and order.
"This is your puzzle, the Mandala of Order and Chaos", Rubix told me.
"What is the Mandala of Order and Chaos?" I asked Rubix.
"The Mandala of Order and Chaos is the sum of all the magic in this realm of controlling Chaos. It is the magic of our existence. It is also the only thing in all existence that can tame and fuse the magic of Order and Chaos that are in collision", Rubix told me.
"How do I solve this Mandala puzzle?" I asked her.
"Use the calmness of your Mind to dominate the influences in the Mandala. The magic of the gods is the only path that could stop the fusion of chaos and order and blend them in harmony", Rubix told me.
So, I focused on my mind like how Hanuman, the monkey god of Ayen taught me.
My consciousness quickly returned to the serene space of my mind. But my mind was now anything but serene.
The chaos within the Mandala of Order and Chaos mirrored that of my Mind. Images and objects were projected before me inside a Mandala.
Entire worlds entered the consciousness of my mind through crystals on the mandala projecting scenes and images from another place or time.
On the one hand there was Order. There was order in everything. There was a law in the courts to arbitrate right from wrong. There was a law on ways people manage their lives. There were laws that governed the day and night, the theories of science. There was a law to everything in this world.
That is Order.
Until Order no longer becomes applicable.
Then there was Chaos. Everything defied Order. Societies ran amok in confusion. Well understood topics of magic and science were rebutted with no known answer in reply. Furniture clashed in the air for no reason at all.
This is Chaos.
"What am I supposed to do with this clash between Order and Chaos?" I asked Rubix in my Mind.
"I cannot help you with this although I can give you a clue. Try imagining a scenario that Order and Chaos both exist and start from there", Rubix told me.
"Damnit, Order doesn't exist with Chaos. There isn't one without the other. They are the exact opposites", I complained.
Despite my complaints, Rubix did not reply to me.
I observed the frenzied dance of objects within my mind with fascination and the scenes of the application of Order or Chaos. There was nothing common between the two polar opposites except they were the opposite of each other.
At most the opposing forces could do was to influence each other but fusing them together was impossible.
"What do I do now?" I asked myself.
"You may ask for help", Rubix told me suddenly with a hint in a secret voice.
"Help? Who the hell can help me in this situation?" I asked myself.
Then I thought of something.
Although I have reached the consciousness of my Mind, I wasn't oblivious to the reality of my surroundings.
"Earpod can you hear me?" I asked my earpod.
"What the hell do you want? Where the hell have you been?" Sara replied to me on the other end.
My earpod was a communication device that linked up with Sara's network. It let me call Sara for help in this desperate situation.
"Damnit, you can hear me. I can't explain right now, I need help. Where can I find Order within Chaos? Or Chaos in Order?" I asked Sara.
"What the hell are you talking about?" she asked me.
"Search your bloody quantum mind", I asked her.
"Damn you", she replied to me.
In an instant Sara has a reply for me.
"I can give you an example of Chaos existing within Order and Order in Chaos. Is that enough?" she asked me.
"That is a start. Does something like that even exist?" I asked her.
"Listen. There is this farm that contains hundreds of chickens and a farmer. Every day at the same time, a bell rung, and the farmer came to feed the chicken. This happens every day. The same situation without fails. The chicken got fed by the farmer when the bell rang at the same time each day. Is that Order enough for you?" Sara asked me about her hypothetical farm.
"Yes, that is a good example of Order. What are you getting at?" I asked her.
"Then on one day, the bell rang but the farmer did not come to feed the chicken as the chicken expected. Is that Chaos according to the chicken?" Sara asked me.
"It is normal for the farmers to stop feeding the chicken at some time. It is strange that he fed the chicken at the same time and in the same way every day without fail", I replied to her.
