The Creation of Chaos

The Demiurge Emerges fron the Darkness

At the beginning of time, Sophia (the world soul) broke away from Christ (the world spirit) and gave birth to Yaldabaoth, the arrogant creator-god of the Old Testament.

The exact process by which this cosmic fiasco occurred was the subject of much debate among the gnostics; in perhaps the oldest version of the story, Sophia’s desire somehow veiled infinity, casting a murky shadow which congealed into a dark ocean set apart from the realm of light:

“A veil exists between the World Above and the realms that are below; and Shadow came into being beneath the veil; and that Shadow became Matter; and that Shadow was projected apart. And what she [Sophia] had created became a product in the Matter, like an aborted fetus.” ((”Hypostasis of the Archons.” The Other Bible. Ed. Willis Barnstone. Harper San Francisco, 1984. 79.))

The pool of darkness transformed into a yawning abyss of chaotic energy and began to produce terrible, half-formed mutants:

“[And] as for the shadow, the powers which came into being after [it] called it “the limitless Chaos.” And out of it every race of gods was brought forth, both one and the other and the whole place…” ((”On the Origin of the World.” The Other Bible. Ed. Willis Barnstone. Harper San Francisco, 1984. 64.))

    this is just another form of satanism. Trying to turn everything in old testament around so now its God who fell from Heaven and the serpent who is a savior. I dont know about you guys but i wont be tricked out of eternal life. Put your trust in Jesus Christ who died for the sins of the world and rose again on the third day.

    There is no such thing as chaos. If there were then it would have been used as a code. Even an information loop has a beginning and an end. We can crack every code ever made. What was thought to be random or chaotic is simply a fractal. Therefor there is no chaos only unrecognized order. See FRACTALS. Also take a look at the background radiation from the BIGBANG. it is being registered by NASA as we speak. It is an oscillation, or frequency. Everything which exists is a vibration or frequency. We know that our atoms are vibrating at a certain frequency. We know that all matter is vibrating at a certain frequency. You cannot put your hand thru your computer. Ergo ipso facto you are vibrating at the same rate as your computer. This frequency changes from minute to minute. No chaos.

Divine Implosion

“The universe is not born of the design or act of a genetic God, particularly since the genetic God in the Bible is only a degenerate God. The universe emerges from the process of the infinite retreating upon itself, as if this infinite were characterized by a kind of impurity. This retraction of the infinite…

The Second Law of Thermodynamics

“The deep structure of change is decay. What decays is not the quantity but the quality of energy. [High quality energy] is energy that is localized, and potent to effect change. In the course of causing change it spreads, becomes chaotically distributed like a fallen house of cards, and loses its initial potency. Energy’s quality,…

There is Nothing

There is nothing… that there is no God and no universe; that there is only empty space, and in it a lost and homeless and wandering and companionless and indestructible Thought. And that I am that thought. And God, and the Universe, and Time, and Life, and Death, and Joy and Sorrow and Pain only…
