| Warrior Work Week 24 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ORDER Order ????????????? What a great word this is and it ties in with last week's word "obedience". The word "order" comes from the Latin word "ordo" meaning row or series and it is a great example of how a word can take on many pictures or ideas and can transform from being a noun, "can i take your order?" to a verb, "i order you to stay away from her/him!" based on context. We often get con fused by the words people use because we are not clear on their "intent", their "goals" what they are moving from in their heart or even the context of what they are "perceiving" when they use a word like "LOVE" or in this case "order". Here are some of the many "pictures" of order: -instruction -something provided -neatness -arrangement of items -absence of crime -social grouping -religious community -architectural style -to arrange -to request -"in order to" -"tall order" -"order around" -"orderly" -"order of the day" -"order of business" -subordinate -inordinate -"holy orders" -ordinance One person's "order" is another's "creative clutter". The "order" of geniuses like Einstein often looked like disorder to the people around him but it is important to consider the order of "fractals" and that even within chaos there is a deep order that is following intent and energy that we may be looking at from a limited perspective. (search "buddhabrot" on the net) ORDER shows us how truth is again relative to our path and the paths of those we intersect and it helps us to see our perception and the perception of others in relation to how we/they "order" the elements of our/their lives. In applying the trait of order or orderliness, we need to examine what the purpose or goal of order is in our life and how efficient we are in our use of ordering/balancing/harmonizing the things or elements of our life. To bring order is to bring efficiency - to bring order is to discard or disengage with those people, elements or things that promote/cultivate disorder or inefficiency - to bring order is to cultivate and build your power and energy - to disengage from that which "steals" or breaks down your power and energy......... Start going through your house, apartment, work, relationships, hobbies and ask yourself and contemplate the following: "who does this serve?" "does this serve me?" "what purpose or intent does this serve?" "can this serve, benefit or bring order to someone else?" After examining those elements apply the 5 D's: 1. Do It - order it, organize it, put it in it's place 2. Dump it - let it go, it has served it's purpose or has no purpose for you 3. Deliver it - give it to someone it may or can serve 4. Delegate it - give it to someone who can do a better job than you or can do a better job with you 5. Delay it - put it someplace where you will reevaluate it in a week or a month when you have a clearer perspective. AND ENJOY THE PROCESS! THAT IS AN ORDER! ;-) By Peter Hill, Copyright 2004 www.getittogether.net Week 25>> |
