A quick meditation on the concept of chaos

[NightBathen]

sitting in a dark, quiet place, throw a bunch of candlesticks in a burlap sack, pull one out without looking at its color, hold it in you hand and sit in meditation. Visualize yourself surrounded by the whitest of light, let it wash over you and the candle, after your space has been cleansed of distracting vibrations, light the cande and place it somewhere in front of you. Off to the left, to the right, doesnt matter. Quiet your thoughts and gaze into the flame, let the light flicker wichever way it will, do not think of or focus on anything, let chaos envelop the master. What do you see in its flames, nothing? Thats ok, what do you hear, smell, feel, in the air, is it natural or is it coming into creation. Let your mind drift into the gentle licks of flame as the candle burns down. Where does it take you? To childhood? To a wandering soul you were intimate with last month, then never saw again. What is radiating from this random thrust of energy around you. This is chaos. When you have grasped the peace and understanding of letting go of earthly anchors, the flame will speak to you of self discovery, and the discovery of random beauty, created through the sheer act of will, harnessing a random thought.

enjoy- Jack

Random chance is an amazing thing to bring into magical work, and when combined with fire is even more brazen, I find. Nice way of applying it, Jack. ^_^
