Chaos is Energy
Magicians, especially since the Gnostic and the Quabala
influences, have sought higher consciousness through the
assimilation and controll of universal opposites... good/evil,
positive/negative, male/female etc. But due to the steadfast
pomposity of ritualism inherited from the ancient methods of the
shaman, occultists have been blinded to what is perhaps the two
most important pairs of apparent or earth-plane opposites:
Order/Disorder and Serious/Humorous.
Magicians, and their progeny the scientists, have always taken
themselves and their subject in an orderly and sober manner,
thereby disregarding an essential metaphysical balance. When
magicians learn to approach philosophy as a malleable art instead
of an immutable Truth, and learn to appreciate the absurdity of
man's endeavours, then they will be able to persue their art with
a lighter heart, and perhaps gain a clearer understanding of it,
and therefore gain a more effective magick.

An old Sufi Legend
The venerable sage Mullah Malaclypse the Younger was once
condemned to death for certain witty and satirical sayings that
disturbed the local Shah. Malaclypse immediatly offered a
bargain: "Postpone the execution one year," he implored
the Shah, "and I will teach your horse to fly."
Intrigued by this, the Shah agreed.
One day thereafter, a friend asked Malaclypse if he really
expected to escape death by this maneuver.
"Why not?" answered the divine Mullah. "A lot
can happen in a year. There might be a revolution and a new
government. There might be a foreign invasion and we'd all be
living under a new Shah. Then again, the present Shaw might die
of natural causes, or somebody in the palace might poison him. As
you know, it is traditional for a new Shaw to pardon all
condemned criminals awaiting execution when he takes the throne.
Besides that, during the year my captors will have many
opportunities for carelessness and I will always be looking for
an opportunity to escape."
"And, finally," Malaclypse concluded, "if the
worst comes to the worst, maybe I can teach that damned horse to
fly!"
- from "Ten good Reasons to get up in the
Morning" by R.A.W.
Chaos Never Died
Primordial uncarved block, sole worshipful monster, inert and
spontaneous, more ultraviolet than any mythology (like the
shadows before Babylon), the original undifferentiated oneness-of
being still radiates serene as the black pennants of Assassins,
random and perpetually intoxicated
Chaos comes before all principles of order and entropy, it's
neither a god nor a maggot, it's idiotic desires encompass and
define every possible choreography, all meaningless aethers and
phlogistons: it's masks are crystallizations of it's own
facelessness, like clouds.
- Hakim Bey
The Zen of Chaos
Malaclypse the Younger went to Eris, the Goddess of Chaos,
with the following problem: "A man once kept a goose in a
bottle, feeding it until it grew too large to get through the
bottleneck. Now, how did he get the goose out without killing it
or breaking the bottle?" Eris said to him, "Oh
Malaclypse?" to which he replied, "Yes, O
Goddess?" and the Goddess exclaimed: "There! The goose
is out of the bottle!"
