Chaos is not disorder. Chaos is the totality of existence. You could call it God. You could use the term, the Tao. I like chaos. It means more to us in English. Chaos is all things, wild and wonderful, connected perfectly by the life force.
Frederick Lenz
Image
People can insert thoughts into your mind. This is more dangerous for psychic people. Use concentration exercises and read to combat this boredom is an easy way to be drained.

At this point, you are so far away from what you really are, it is ridiculous. The good news is that every step you take within brings you more in touch with that which you really are.
