"The moment you come to trust chaos, you see God clearly. Chaos is divine order, versus human order. Change is divine order, versus human order. When the chaos becomes safety to you, then you know you're seeing God clearly ( Read more... )

Macrocosm pattern and microcosm mayhem vs pure anarchy.
The fore quote brings to mind creation aspect, while the latter is the destruction aspect, so you can link the two in a cyclic aesthetic.
Divine or crass. Interesting.

in my mind the first one was not only summing up my weekend, but drawing attention to the tendancy of human beings to undermine the unknowable by labelling and classifying objects and situations in a desperate attempt to gain control over what they percieve as "other". In chaotic situations there are people who go with thte flow and people who try to stem the flow and organise everything. The latter are more prone to heart attacks and mental illness.

the second quote is a herald blowing the trumpet of a world mature enough to stand on its own merit in the centre of hte whirling force. each individual the macrocosm of their own microcosm; secure enough with divine chaos to have no need to glom on to half-baked idiologies or hysterical masses. With a personal link to the cosmos, who needs a definition?

In the second quote I pictured punks downing all authority, not realising that the chaos and anarchy actually just births a new form of order. (If we let all the axe murderers and gansters out, it'll be a more physical oriented regime, but the mafia is still a hierchey (sp?). "need to glom on to half-baked idiologies or hysterical masses" makes me think more of selective weeding, which is gentler, slower, and more apt to provide desired results. "each individual the macrocosm of their own microcosm; secure enough with divine chaos " Is beautiful in magical spiritual terms, but for one without a sense of the divine, it can be twisted to pure corruption. The cell stands up in individuality, unique and looking out for itself, looking to gain power, territory... in a body we call that cancer. I think the mind and sould should be free, but that people should try to belong to each other enough so that we can actually come up with a decent infrastructure. But then, looking out for just the self, they are neglecting themselves in a ( ... )
