Paradox: to embrace Chaos is not to slide toward entropy but to emerge into an energy like stars, a pattern of instantaneous grace - a spontaneous organic order completely different from the carrion pyramids of sultans, muftis, cadis & grinning executioners.
After Chaos comes Eros - the principle of order implicit in the nothingness of the unqualified One. Love is structure, system, the only code untainted by slavery & drugged sleep. We must become crooks & con-men to protect its spiritual beauty in a bezel of clandestinity, a hidden garden of espionage.
The world is already re-made according to the heart's desire - but civilization owns all of the leases & most of the guns. Our feral angels demand we trespass, for they manifest themselves on forbidden grounds. High Way Man. The yoga of stealth, the lightning raid, the enjoyment of treasure.
