THE MASS OF CHAOS (D)

The Dungeon/Daemon Psychodrama with added Higher Consciousness

Commentary:

Human social conditioning supplies, in various measures, the two motive

components of the will to power, revenge and domination. These can act as

either daemons or demons.

If we learn to artfully sublimate and disguise them they act as sources of

motivation and drive, daemons, which can inspire in all manners of enterprises

with a power, rival to that of the reproductive urge. So much of human

creativity, ingenuity, rebelliousness and achievement is fired in part by the

conscious or unconscious desire to prove others wrong or inferior and oneself

right or better. If these two daemons are too heavily repressed, then a weak,

unassertive and insufficiently motivated persona develops. Conversely, if

revenge and domination assume too large a role in the personae and the selfslips

too easily into full identification with either of them, then they become

demons, which act self-destructively. The daemons or demons of revenge and

domination are in fact a single two-faced entity. The will to revenge arises from

being dominated, pushed around, ordered and controlled. The will to

domination arises in response to the often covert will to revenge which arises in

those others that one wished to control.

Such daemons or demons are built into our psyches at an early stage of basic

mammalian power politics during infancy where they constitute a sort of

internal dungeon containing an oppressor seeking domination and a victim

seeking revenge. Subsequent conditioning merely overlaps the daemons or

demons with a veneer of social conditioning, manners, disguises, subtleties and

deceptions of variable thickness.

The Mass of Chaos (D) may be performed for several purposes. As an act of

Invocation it may be performed to remedy conditions of insufficient motivation

or self-assertion. As an act of Invocation and Enchantment it may be used to

support the casting of spells for specific acts of revenge or domination. As an

act of Illumination it may be performed to generate a sufficient gnosis to hurl

the Kia into the no self, the no-mind, the white light of the void, the creative

void, the metaprogramming circuit or whatever you wish to call it.

the vividness of the experiences of being them with the vividness of the

experience of not being them. If necessary contemplate the propositions

I AM DAEMONS

I AM NOT DAEMONS

I AM DAEMONS AND I AM NOT DAEMONS

After a suitable period Banish by Laughter.

THE MASS OF CHAOS (E)

Commentary:

Legend has it that the Greek Goddess Eris hurled down a golden apple marked

KALLISTI (for the fairest) amongst the Gods and Goddesses to create a riot.

As a Goddess of Chaos she can be seen as the archetypal muse who brings

inspiration and creative cganhe through the clash of opposites. Whenever an

irresistible force collides with an unmovable object, whenever man collides

with woman, whenever there is paradox, when yin meets yang, in that moment

of fertile confusion, pregnant with new potential, we detect the hand of Eris

stirring things up out of pure wanton curiosity. In the manner of a crazed

chemist she playfully mixes her most powerful reagents to see what explosions

result. Heedless of the entropy in her wake, she delights ever in the wildness

and weirdness she provokes.

Eris is traditionally invoked in the form of a goddess with flaming red

hair,dressed in a riot of color and carrying an apple marked K for Kallisti and

Kaos. Her personal sigil is

representing the two horns of the moon, the horns of the shamanic life force

spirit and also two arrows meeting in a head-on collision.

She resumes the qualities of the Babylonian Goddess Ishtar of love and war

who is represented by an eight-rayed star, kali the Hindu Goddess of Sex and

Death and by Babalon and Lilith, the hebraic conceptions of wild and

unacceptable femininity.

The ancient greeks saw her as the daughter of Chaos and Darkness, the primal

creative force and the void into which it manifests. They call her a Goddess of

Chaos, Dischord and Confusion, for in their rigid social paradigm they were

unable to concieve that one must have Chaos in one's "soul" to give birth to a

dancing star, that confusion is a holy state entirely preferable to all fragile

certainties, and that discord is the precursor of all great synthesis. The universe

is obviously as confused about itself as we are about our various selves,

otherwise how could creation and evolution occur?

The invocation of Eris is a celebration of paradox, of contradiction, of fertile

confusion, of that which is beyond logic, of those qualities repressed by

patriarchal regimes and unfairly relegated to the feminine domain, emotion,

feeling, socially unaccepted liasons, hysteria, enthusiasm and untidiness.

The Mass of Chaos (E) is most commonly performed by a Priestess, although a

Priest may take the role if he dares.

During the cacophony participants shout out any system of belief or beliefs

they wish, these may be real, imaginary, or nonsensical, or all of these things

simultaneously, they also may argue two or more beliefs against each other

with themselves, this practice is particularly useful in solo performance.

Substantial quantities of screwed up newspaper may be used to mark the circle

and participants should freely tramp through this during their

circumambulations.

The Priestess beforehand must memorize the Enochian Incantation and the

Vernacular Proclamation and indeed the general format of the rite. The Mass of

Chaos (E) is never read from papers. The consecration is achieved where

possible with the use of an apple. For example, the apple may be cast into a

sacrament of a fluid prepared from apples, or crushed underfoot onto a pentacle

or impaled on a dagger to consecrate it. The seeds of the apple should be

recovered afterwards and planted or used as Chaos talismans.
