It seems that you're "confused".

Confusion being the meaning of the phrase.

                I'm reading a book by an Anglican minister and he uses a
phrase
                that I'm not familiar with.  I'm hoping that one of the
English
                (as in "from England") readers of this list can help me
understand
                it.

                He refers to people as "being at sixes and sevens with
themselves".
                What does that mean?

                Thanks for any illumination you can provide.
