The Great Reset: Why Chaos is the Ancient Recipe for Breakthroughs

(La version française suit dans le post suivant)

The past year was traumatic!

Sometimes, it feels as if life is bored with itself and throwing challenges our way keeps life entertained. Tragic comedy in full force!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Life:

"Oh peace and quiet, what’s that? I need movement, I need to see emotions other than contentment in these humans. Time to crash their party! Hmmm, these two, my next perfect targets." (Pulling some files out)

Case 1 - The Test of Gratitude

"Ok, married 2-3 years ago. He and his wife are still in their honeymoon phase. With stable, good paying jobs. Decent human with bearable flaws. From a close-knit family. Well liked by his peers. Who knew these kinds of humans still exist!

When we are so used to a good life, with minor setbacks, are we truly grateful for our blessings, for what was not earned but instead given?

We become accustomed to our treasures, more and more complacent with each passing day. Even expecting them, getting impatient when they come with delays. So, let me test this one out. Does he really know how good he has it?

A house holds everything we chose to keep, what we hold dear. Let’s burn it! Simple effective destruction method to see what lies beneath.

Can he rebuild from the ground up, or will the loss reveal that it is easy to celebrate gratitude and preach it to less fortunate souls when life is good at all times?"

Case 2 - The Final Offering

"If 'beware of wolves dressed in sheep's clothing' was a person. Disgusting character; unfortunately, the type that flows under the radar. Not obviously vile enough to turn into a detectable real-life villain. Her superpowers: include indulging in small but deeply disturbing transgressions. Stealing the smallest items for the thrill of it. Manipulation as her only form of communication while she plays team captain in the sports of lying to family and friends.

As a colleague, she’ll smile at your face while engaging in backstabbing. Make her your friend, but behave, be and stay nice to her. Always. If not, beware, she’ll turn against you. Or you’ll find her gossiping her way through your social circle. God forbid this energetic vampire is a family member; you’re in for a life of disaster, stuck in an endless emotional rollercoaster.

Here is not your regular Jane Doe who is clumsy in handling various life crises. It is neither about the well-intentioned one whose only flaw is helping out everyone in her orbit, not realizing some deserve their own demise. Nor is it about the kind-hearted and gentle soul whose childhood trauma made her comfortable around eccentric personalities and the most unbelievable situations.

No, we're talking about an entirely different beast here!

She is the type to be generous with her time, to be a helping friend, but don’t get it confused... She is the enemy of peace and reigns supreme in chaotic settings! Make her your confidant, and she’ll use your secrets for keepsake. Openly sharing your business with an untrusted audience, enjoying throwing blades your way. It is a knife show at the circus, and your lows are how she gets her high.

Her energy has been corrupted since birth, but she had potential for good. With always options to do better, I had given her the gift of choice. It is true I had her go through trials and tribulations. Yet, nothing to the point of no return. I was trying to build up character, show her the importance of boundaries and of limits. Instead, she turned into a low-key nutcase, really a poor excuse of a human. When everything I threw her way was valuable teaching.

Can she take the heat that she gives? What happens when the tables are turned? Let me take back her opportunities, let bigger bullies enter her sphere. Have family and friends open their eyes on her shady dealings and see what she hides in plain sight. Let everything she does in the safety of the night come to light. To add pressure, I’ll bring an important financial loss with her work's future temporarily uncertain.

Money they say is the root of all evil, but in my world, money is one of the greatest revealers. Give it in abundance or take it all away and watch masks fall and people's true nature come undone. I don’t feel bad for this one, she had it coming. Like they say, 'Karma is a bitch!' But truly I wonder, is there any good left in her? Is she worth saving?

Because even for the most corrupted souls, the sudden withdrawal of comfort—THE GREAT RESET—is an offering. It is a moment of reckoning and a final, brutal chance to discover if any good remains. It is the chaos that forces the ultimate choice: transform or dissolve."

"They say the only constant in life is change. Shouldn’t we add in the fine print that change comes with endless cycles of death and rebirth. Rich or poor, no one is spared from experiencing the dark night of the soul; a time in life where all hell breaks loose. Where we’re clinging to what was while fearing what could be. The future always looks scary when we’re dealing with uncertainty. But that period of transition is necessary for profound transformation to occur. A season of loss, that if embraced, leads to THE GREAT RESET.

• Things are crumbling? Let them! 

• Forced out of your field of work or your job is no longer fulfilling? Embrace the time of exile! 

• Old friendships are ending? So be it! 

• Doors are closing? Don’t stand in the way. 

• Unhealthy family structures are being exposed, but your inner child begs for healing? Only trauma bonding is keeping you detained there. My dear, detach to free yourself!

• Your social circles feel less welcoming? Time to exit gracefully.

• A fire burned your house to the ground? Your life carries more purpose and value than belongings. Gather what can be salvaged and rebuild the rest. 

• You’ve recently lost a loved one? Give yourself time to grieve. Self-care with no shame. And if you build enough strength, perhaps finding meaningful ways to keep their memory alive even in the smallest manners may be healing.

• Feeling not only the wind blowing and the rain pouring but sensing a storm is coming? Grab your umbrella and channel your inner Mary Poppins. It’s gonna get rough before it gets better. In the process, make fun of the mess, be playful with capricious life, and laugh it off as it’s a great remedy to feeling the blues. With the right attitude and intentional actions, you’ll get why order eventually comes from chaos. 

  
  

If, like me, you have experienced endings of various life chapters, or are currently going through it, remember that death is necessary for a renaissance era to occur.

To gain some, often, you need to lose some. For new beginnings, allow endings to happen. It is an ancient recipe to achieve breakthroughs.

In this time of turmoil and delicate grieving process, cry if you need to but also focus on the positive. Count your blessings even if they’ve become harder to notice. Hold a special place in your heart for those who stayed loyal and supportive amidst life's crazy antics. Scared or not by the messiness of your situations, they let you borrow some of their strength to keep any sense of hope alive. These folks are fellow “Warriors of Light”, faeries in human form! Your alliance was formed via a passage through the ring of fire. It’ll take reciprocated care, support, understanding and compassion to keep it thriving. Lasting as long as life intends for it to. Regardless of the potential expiry date or your friendships, remain grateful for the connection.

Chaos is a repellent, not everyone is equipped to see the raw magic in it. Chaos is also a powerful catalyst. The disruption of reality, of our inner system breaking down and of the broken fragments of our old self leave room for the emergence into a new light. Apart from the selected few, not all souls should be privy in witnessing the intense inner work required for the transformation. Nor should everyone have access to you during the disruption stage and the transmutation phase. 

Also, remember that everyone is going through their own journey; making mistakes, losing, winning, hurting, healing…etc. Sometimes we are simply casualties in others' battlefields. Other times, we play more substantial supporting roles in their epic stories. Kindly forgive (them and yourself) but (also for your own sake) don’t forget the lessons learned. Earth is a tough realm to evolve in, an even rougher and stranger place for a fairy. The key, I guess, is to remain teachable… especially when experiencing growing pains. 

So, yes, an ending might simply be just that. But when it carries a deeper meaning, you’ll get a visceral and undeniable inner knowing. And if you do, trust that your period of destruction marks the arrival of a breakthrough season. With your intuitive side making you open to receive, who knows what offering change is trying to bring in? Stay the course, don’t give up just yet… 

Above all else, embrace the great reset, it is there for a reason. A purpose that only you can discover if you take a chance venturing into the Land of the Brave."
