Order

When order is put into disorder, confusion blows off, according
to L. Ron Hubbard. In his Scientology Axiom number 56, he states that
'Theta brings order to chaos,' noting also that chaos puts
disorder into theta.

It also needs underlining that one must continue to put
in calm, friendly order - create, create, create it. Otherwise, the
confusion that can arise might not untangle or dissolve, but is liable
to enwrap the being doing the action.

If one starts a new business venture, no matter how well planned,
the arrival of orders for products is itself a randomity. This
requires
order to be brought to bear, and if the new business lacks sufficient
organization, that fact soon becomes painfully obvious.

Order, organization, does not mean fanatical control of situations
actual or potential. Control is necessary, though, meaning the ability
to initiate (start), alter or maintain (change) and conclude (stop)
actions small and large in cycles of production and administration.

Communication lines should be 'clean', and good comm
cycles, with harmonious affinity, are vital.

Order requires a stable datum. There can be one or many of
these, and in a business they include definitions such as who we
are, what we are aiming to do, who our customers are likely to be -
and so on.

The stable data act as markers on which can be aligned all
the factors of a confusion, of disorder, of  randomity.

Too much order can be a pain in the butt. There is an optimum
amount of order required for any activity, neither more nor less (plus
a latitude of a bit above, a bit below that optimum). And that is
where one large organization went wrong, in putting in order and order
and order...to a degree that would have been amusing had it not
been tragic.

But let us, as Independents, not overlook the fact that as
individuals, as business people or employees and above all as
Independents
in loose grouping or otherwise, some extent of order is vital.
For too much randomity, too few stable data in common, would spell
chaos.

Learning implies Learning with Certainty or Learning without Certainty.
Learning across a Distance implies Learning by Being an Effect.
Learning by Being an Effect implies Learning without Certainty.
Therefore, Learning with Certainty implies Learning, but 
not by Being an Effect, and not across a Distance.
