THE
CHAOSPHERE RITE
An
Illumination Ritual of Chaos Psychotherapy
Commentary:
Participants
stand as if facing a wall of an imaginary enclosing cube. As each planetary
force is invoked, participants extend one arm towards one of the vertices of the
cube while visualising thenselves enclosed in a Chaosphere with one arm pointing
along the axis of a projecting arrow. As each force is invoked, participants
visualise the enclosing Chaosphere glowing in the appropriate color, while
evoking the emotion associated with the planetary force.
Participants
may begin at any vertex (this is a chaos rite!) but should then point to the
opposite direction for the second invocation of each pair. Mercury for example
is in the opposite direction to that chosen for Jupiter. Even if this rite is
performed by one person, that person should refer to themselves in the plural
throughout the rite. Each planetary quality should be meditated upon for a few
moments. The cry of the name of the next planetary force will indicate the time
for movement to the new posture and the beginning of the next invocation.
