Enter The Twilight Zone

Another dimension of chaos

My creativity comes alive in the quiet and stillness. Wee hours of the morning before dusk, you will find me with a cup of coffee, my journal, and my favorite gel pen. The kickstart for my day. The place I sit within my subconscious state of awakening and let the thoughts magically guide the ink flow onto the pages. A ritual created decades ago with the introduction of “morning pages” by Julia Cameron’s The Artist Way.

Imagine my surprise when I read the Monday prompt. Chaos is fertile soil for creativity. Confusion seeped into my thoughts. My first inclination was to bypass the prompt, yet something about it held a little intrigue. So I turned to the dictionary — the magical book of words.

Chaos in current times means complete disorder and confusion. Hmmm. Okay. The confusion led me here, so let’s follow this through. In physics, it explained, chaos is the unpredictable behavior that appears random owing to great sensitivity to small changes in condition. Or the formless matter supposed to have existed before the creation of the universe.

Now, it’s grabbed my nerd interest to excavate through the history of the word. The English version derived from the Greek meaning; abyss referring to the inverse of confusion, a hole, empty space, the void, or opening. Thus, it referred to the emptiness before things came into being. So, next up on the timeline is the abyss of Tartarus, the underworld in Greek mythology.

But I can’t stop here. My self-talk has the voice of Rod Sterling repeating enter “The Twilight Zone.” Oh no. More confusion. I never cared much for the show. Yet, something was nudging me to go further with my adventure; I look up the opening lines that Rod Sterling says at the beginning of the show. Well, darn. That changed over history too. But during the first season, it was consistent.

“There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man’s fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area we call the Twilight Zone.”

Now I get it. YES! Chaos is fertile soil for creativity. Imagination. The place between our deepest fears and journey to our greater knowing. It lies within the metaphysical realm of the 5D, higher vibrations in the dimension of consciousness. It is within our 6th sense.

Perhaps this place is the Vortex spoken of in the musings of Abraham-Hicks Law of Attraction. But I will leave that question for my next adventure.
