CHAOS, OR THE DEEP
A symbol of primordial formless matter. Matter in
its primal state, devoid of qualities, involution of Spirit not
having yet taken place.
"Orpheus declares that Chaos first existed, eternal, vast, uncreate,
- it was neither darkness nor light, nor moist nor dry, nor hot nor
cold, but all things intermingled." - Clementine Recognitions, Ch.
XXX.
"And the earth was waste and void; and darkness was upon the face of
the deep; and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters."
- GENESIS. 1:2.
And the first state of matter was formless, the involution of form
not having begun. All was inchoate, for spirit was not permeating or
informing matter with qualities; and the Spirit of the Logos, - the
Atman, - brooded upon the "waters" of ultimate reality. This
statement refers to the formation in space of the invisible
beginnings of the Solar system, with a correspondence also to the
preparative involution of the life of the soul.
