Chaos and Creation

Thank you Dumas for that insightful post,

However nowhere does history teach us that Ayar created -all- things.
All we have to go off of is a myth. A mere myth can not be followed as
if it is history. You must delve into it and find where the falsehood
ends and the truth begins. I'm not saying that everything in the Mythos
must be discounted, but you must look at it objectively.

Is it really reasonable that Ayar could will everything into creation if
He had no conscious mind? No, He could not. How does One gain a
conscious mind? Through Chaos. Hence, before Creation could exist, there
had to be Chaos. It doesn't matter if Ayar was here before of after
Chaos as long as you can accept this fact. Chaos was required for
Creation.

Hence, we can reason that the statement "Ayar, the Creator, willed into
existence everything known and unknown," it not entirely true. There was
one thing He did not will into existence, Chaos.

Now, you say that the Chaos that you wish to be rid of is the
"destructive" Chaos. However, not all destructive things are bad.
Occasionally forest fires destroy huge areas of the forest. However,
this destruction facilitates new life.

Now, if you can not be convinced that this is the case with Chaos, let
me say one thing. The one definition of Chaos we can all accept is
"Chaos is." Chaos is ChAOs is chaoS. They are all the same, the same
Chaos that is this destructive force is the one that allows for
creativity. You can not remove only the part you do not like. With
Chaos, it will be all or nothing.

May Chaos Open Your Mind,
