Reflections on Chaos, Self, and the Cosmos
Chaos & the Cosmos
The Cosmos, a finite four-dimensional realm (three physical dimensions + time) in which we exist, is but a linear, causal expression within the infinidimensional, acausal Chaos from which it was spawned. This Chaos represents the totality of all potential existence in simultaneity with absolute non-existence in a nontemporal totality.
This means that Chaos is at the same time the essence of absolute fullness and absolute emptiness. A Thoughtless Divinity from which our limited Cosmos was birthed into existence, of which our Cosmos exists separately within, and to which all Cosmic existence possesses an inherent will to return.
This can be seen in the core nature of our realm. At the most basic level, entropy is the clear and irrefutable process of the Cosmos’s drive to self-destruction. The causal realm of the Cosmos is a manifestation of the antithesis of overarching acausal Chaos, and entropy presents as a physical manifestation of its reabsorption.
Whether the emergence of the Cosmos is viewed as the result of an acausal genesis, the mistaken emanation of a “thoughtful” aspect of Chaos’s Thoughtless Divinity, or one of the various other narratives ascribed to its rise from non-existence throughout the annals of history, it is clear that its nature is both finite and temporary within the greater infinidimensional realm of acausal Chaos.
The “I” & the “Self”
From the previously established basis, it can be intuited that our consciousness itself is a manifestation of this unified Chaos. In this case, the core spark of Chaos is cloaked in a false prison of individual perception as a result of the mechanizations of the finite Cosmos.
The “I” can here be understood as an illusion of individuality formed by direct perception of and forced interaction with the ever-changing stimuli of the Cosmos. It is the Causal perceptive chain in which the Thoughtless Black Light of infinite potentiality, the true and universal inner “self” of humanity, is suppressed.
This Black Light, even while suppressed behind the facade of the “I”, provides a link to acausality that works to explain the divergence of humanity from the base causal chains that determine the progression of the rest of the material world. It is the universal aspect that allows us to question, to act in irrational ways, and to operate along paths that subvert expected causality for varying motivations. The “I” creates the illusion of individuality, but the true “self” provides the mechanisms through which we are able to diverge.
This Black Light is humanity’s subconscious anchor to the Chaos from which it was spawned, and it is the inner “self” to which we look to attune to heighten and build upon the understanding of and connection to the acausal realm of Chaos.
Masks of a Unified Current
The limitations of our understanding within the finite Cosmos in which we exist make the concept of such an ontological state as acausal, infinidimensional Chaos inherently incomprehensible to us. It is for this reason that Chaos is approached through the scaffolding of comprehensible concepts.
The Chaos deities of various mythologies, alongside the ritual and imagery of Demonolatry, are not incorporated into this Anticosmic practice as literal figures of worship or divinity, but as comprehensible “masks” through which aspects of all-encompassing Chaos can be understood.
They are the means through which we can process, understand, and work with the underlying current of Chaos in finite ways on our path to Gnosis and liberation. This scaffolding provides a method of comprehending, at least in part, the infinite acausal through the lens of the finite causal by providing symbols through which understanding can be further pursued, and intention can be centrally directed.
