Creative Chaos: The Surprising Mystery of Time, Self, & Meaning

De: Andre Rabe

Narrado por: Andre Rabe, Mary-Anne Rabe

Chaos may seem an unlikely source of creativity, but below its senseless surface lies a swirling depth of possibilities. Every person enters a world that is already filled with symbols, meanings, and stories. No-one starts with a blank canvas, rather, we find ourselves thrust into a matrix of narratives. Yet, something truly new is possible amid this chaos. Time is a space in which these stories can be reassembled, reinterpreted, and ordered in a way that gives particular meaning to my life.

Our stories can be more than a reflection of reality; they can transform experience, inspire new action, and in so doing, transform our reality. “And the word became flesh”. That is how the gospel of John describes the event in which divine ideas became tangibly real in the person of Jesus. Text, words, and ideas are not meant to remain intangible - they are searching for embodiment.

This audiobook is a journey through thousands of years of symbols and narratives that point to the underlying reality of our existence. We follow the development of consciousness through the stories humans have told, beginning with myths that are older than the Scriptures. The biblical text marks a definite progression in human awareness, and within the context of the Bible itself ideas continue to develop.

The perspective given here might be new for many, but the aim is to provide more than simply an alternative interpretation of scripture. Rather, I hope to show the connection between the inherent human capacity to create meaning, the depth of the text we have at our disposal, and the measureless gift of the spirit of truth drawing us forward. An inexhaustible mystery lies enfolded in each of us. How it unfolds in your story is an unprecedented unique event. This living narrative reached a crescendo in Jesus. In him, we see the mystery unfolding in flesh and we receive an invitation to share in his consciousness.

A beautiful reading of a beautiful book

This book has brought me light and hope and a new way of understanding life. The information is transformative and the Audible version is a gift because now I can “read” it slowly while driving and doing daily activities. Many questions are answered here and the presentation is suited to a wide range of readers from those with trained academic and theological backgrounds to those more poetically inclined. Thank you Andre and Mary-Anne Rabe!

New possibilities!

“If you are human this is your story.” We all have stories! Our ancestors left us many symbols that are so relevant to our lives today. “So that we may be astonished.” Gave me chills and hope for many new opportunities!

Great book.

Very good audiobook. Creative Chaos is appropriate for the times we are living in. It is well read and enjoyable to listen to. Listen for a new and exciting viewpoint.

Amazing, Insightful, Thought Provoking!!

This is a fantastic dive into history and the heart of the Father. I challenge believers and non-believers alike to examine the evidence and experience brought forth in this book. I cannot recommend it enough. The narration is excellent and delightful. I listen to this book many times as I get ready for bed and fall asleep to it, marinating in the mystery and amazing heart of the Creator and Sustainer of all things. It is beautiful and elegantly written and presented!
