ECCLESIA TENEBRARUM
Chaosium



The "laws" of chaos can be brought to light, though never understood.

Chaotic laws are hardly meaningful, and therefore out of reason's sphere.

It is their purpose to make meaningless, and to attack the truth.

Here are the laws that rule the world you made. And yet they govern nothing, and need not be broken; merely looked upon and gone beyond.

The First Chaotic Law is that the truth is different for everyone.
Like all these principles, this one maintains that each is separate and has a different set of
thoughts that set him off from others.

This principle evolves from the belief there is a hierarchy of illusions; some are more valuable and therefore true.
[However], no part of nothing can be more resistant to the truth than can another.


The Second Law of Chaos is that each one must sin and therefore deserves attack and death.

This principle is the demand that errors call for punishment and not correction.


This leads directly to the Third preposterous belief that seems to make chaos eternal. For if God cannot be mistaken, He must accept His Son's belief in what he is, and hate him for it.

The fear of God is reinforced by this third principle.
The Fourth Law of Chaos is the belief you have what you have taken.

By this, another's loss becomes your gain, and thus it fails to recognize that you can never take away save from yourself. Yet all the other laws must lead to this.

All of the mechanisms of madness are seen emerging here.
The guilty ones protest their "innocence.
In a savage world the kind cannot survive,
so they must take or else be taken from.
A final principle of chaos ... there is a substitute for love.

This is the magic that will cure all of your pain; the missing factor in your madness that makes it "sane. "This is the reason why you must attack.

You who believe you walk in sanity with feet on solid ground,
and through a world where meaning can be found,
consider this: These are the laws on which your "sanity" appears to rest.
These are the principles which make the ground beneath your feet seem solid.
And it is here you look for meaning.
These are the laws you made for your salvation.
They hold in place the substitute for Heaven which you prefer.
This is their purpose; they were made for this.
There is no point in asking what they mean.
That is apparent.
The means of madness must be insane.
Are you as certain that you realize the goal is madness?

What protects madness is the belief that it is true.
It is the function of insanity to take the place of truth.
It must be seen as truth to be believed.

In truth it does not function,
yet in dreams, where only shadows play the major roles,
it seems most powerful.

No Law of Chaos could compel belief but for the emphasis on form and disregard of content.

How can some forms of murder not mean death?
Can an attack in any form be love?
What form of condemnation is a blessing?
Who makes his savior powerless and finds salvation?

And can you be content with an illusion that you are living?

Illusions are but forms. Their content is never true.

The laws of chaos govern all illusions.

Their forms conflict, making it seem quite possible to value some above the others.
From the belief in sin, the faith in chaos must follow.
It is because it follows that it seems to be a logical conclusion; a valid step in ordered thought.

Brother, take not one step in the descent to hell.
For having taken one, you will not recognize the rest for what they are.

How can you know whether you chose the stairs to Heaven or the way to hell?
How do you feel?
Is peace in your awareness?

If not,
you walk alone.
