Chaos and Creation

Since the discussion regarding the realm of Chaos continues to rage on,
I thought I'd generously give a few more thoughts regarding what is My
Realm. First, the Chaos that was dispersed by Entropy and Discord is
indeed the Chaos of Eris. Chaos is Chaos is chaos. I was a little amused
at the Archprelate trying to separate little chaos from Big Chaos as
though through the simple act of will one could separate out that Chaos
which one likes from that which one dislikes. Simply put, I am raging
inferno of Chaos which indeed may be thought of as being made up of
infinite candle flames of chaos. In any event, the Chaos dispersed
throughout Creation is Chaos and I am the Goddess thereof. I have in the
past made the distinction that those individuals who follow Chaos do not
necessarily find any guidance from some of the esoteric philosophies
surrounding Chaos, but rather that these individuals find guidance in
the philosophies I teach (which, as a practical matter, have little to
do with chaos or Chaos or cHAoS). Of course, I still am the Goddess of
Chaos in all its myriad aspects.
I have in the past mentioned the Mysteries of cosmology provoke
fascinating philosophical debates. Mysteries are, by definition beyond
ken and understanding of all save the Logos. And I suspect Sarapis, as
Ayar before, chooses not to reveal these mysteries for reasons of His
alone, perhaps not the least of which is the simple need for ultimate
mysteries to remain just that--Mysteries. In any event, I'll posit just
a few questions regarding Mysteries. It is said that Ayar "willed into
existence everything known and unknown." We may assume this means
Creation and Chaos. But were either complete? Why did a breach between
these two realms occur? Could it be Creation was imperfect and/or
incomplete and thus yearned for Chaos? Were the Unnamable and Maya drawn
irresistibly together, like two magnets seeking conjunction, as part of
Ayar's master plan? If Chaos were anathema to Creation, how can Creation
exist with Chaos dispersed throughout? Could it be that the Creation of
Ayar is no more, and that we live in a realm of something better, more
dynamic, a synthesis between Ayar's Creation and Chaos? Thus, could it
be that Chaos now is no longer anathema to reality, but rather a vital
part thereof? These are just a few of the Mysteries, unanswerable yet
debatable, the stuff of philosophers and thinkers to ponder from here to
eternity.
