To: alt.magick.tyagi,alt.magick.chaos From: "Fr. A.o.C."Subject: Re: Question concerning Chaos Magic Date: Wed, 01 Jan 2003 03:30:43 GMT We formulated the term 'Chaos Magick' to indicate the randomness of the universe and the individuals relationship with it. The antithesis of chaos, cosmos, is the universe suitably defined by the successful magician for his own purposes and that definition is under constant scrutiny and may be regularly changed. Chaos is expressive of this philosophy and reinforces the idea that there is no permanent model for the individual's relationship with everything that he is not. The word encompasses not only those things we know to be true but also what we suspect may be true as well as the world of impressions, paranoias and possibilities. If there were anything such as a Chaos Credo it would run on the following lines: I do not believe in anyhing. I know what I know (gnosis) and I postulate theories which may or may not enter my system of adopted beliefs when those theories have been tested. There are no gods or demons, except for those I have been conditioned into acknowledging and those I have created for myself. I create and destroy beliefs according to their usefulness. In the words of the wise "nothing is true, everything is permitted" - provided it interferes with no-one. - Ray Sherwin
