Welcome to the Home of the Vortex of Chaos
This bizarre dimension ignores the laws of physics.
Atoms fall like drops of rain through the deep void
and are sometimes subject to an unpredictable swerve.
The Chaos Vortex is mostly comprised of whirling orange masses and rock
One inch is somehow a mile
Possessing a variety of disembodied eyeballs and a long and narrow cave.
They say that in the beginning, the Goddess of all things rose naked from Chaos, but found nothing substantial for her feet to rest upon, and therefore divided the sea from the sky, dancing lonely upon its waves
Others say that the god of all things Nature appeared in Chaos and unraveled the elements by setting them in his order.
I call our world the Vortex not because we call it so
But to make its Nature clearer to you
There is nothing permanent except change.
Everything flows.
In such a country you will perceive at once that it is impossible for anything to be of a flat kind.
You can feel your existence.
Reality is gorgeous.
The universe is a celebration.
Two eyeballs meet in a cave and turn to stare at the wall.
1. The Swerve, in The Nature of Things
Eye 1: I have written a poem.
Eye 2. To hell with it! Letters are trash. Only Psychoanalysts write letters. Please go ahead
Eye 2: You are not a slug
Eye 1: They are complex organisms with many dimensions. They have two Is at once.
Eye 2: The ego and the shadow: who we perceive ourselves to be and the unconscious parts of ourselves we deny?
Eye 1: no
my eyes got split in multiple space times it has been very discombobulating
Eye 2: They say that you must liberate yourself by becoming one and integrating your eyes. But the way is not without danger
Eye 1: dramatic the man who said that took to wandering alone in the mountains eating nothing but grass and herbs, which alas gave him dropsy. He sought to treat this by covering himself in cow manure, but to no avail, surprisingly.
Eye 2: True. But who looks outside dreams; who looks inside awakes.
Eye 1: HOW CAN I SEE MY EYES
Eye 2: They say that creation is to actualize something from Chaos: to interact with the inner Chaos of your psyche, to organise and structure, to bring it forth into the material world.
This process is extremely difficult; to paint what we see before us is a different matter from painting what we see within. (Jung/Cho)
Eye 1: I will paint my inner experience.
2 Vortex. The point of maximum energy
Eye 1: How does your mind look to your eyes?
Eye 2: It looks flat. like all that I see out in front of me.
Eye 1: So many legs. Is that why you feel so heavy?
Eye 2: It isn’t just a matter of gravitational weight. It is that I feel I am carrying my body around.
Eye 1: Life is a drag?
Eye 2: My mind and body is a burden, eye
Eye 1: You are flat inside? And why?
Eye 2: My body is a burden, eye
Eye 2: My work is a burden, eye
Eye 2: My mind is a burden, eye
ad inf.
Eye 1: Your spark is gone?
Eye 2: How can I make a change in my life. That is the question.
Eye 1: Look within.When there is nobody left for whom the body can be a burden, the body isn't a burden (Bhāra Sutta)
Eye 2. Precisely! So I got rid of yours after suppressing mine.
3 Myth and Science, in Chaotic Space and Time
Eye 1: They say that Charybdis, daughter of mother Earth, was a voracious woman who had been hurled by Zeus’ thunderbolt into the sea and twice daily sucked in a huge volume of water to spew it out again in a whirlpool.
Eye 2: A whirlpool is a body of rotating water which forms a vortex produced by two opposing currents interacting in an unusual way
Eye 1: Don’t interrupt
Eye 2: Turbulent flow occurs when a fluid undergoes irregular fluctuations, atmospheric instability, and unpredictable movements and Chaos. Turbulent flows can be both beneficial and detrimental. Turbulent flows can lead to structural fatigue and damage. Turbulent flows can
Eye 1: Charybdis
Eye 2: I admire your insistence but you are just a -
Eye 1: Charybdis
4 In Justice and Dreams
Eye 1: Walk with me.
One night I dreamt that I had my drink spiked
A man in the lift He put his hands in my hair and tried to –
I received a seven-minute voicenote one morning from one man wanting polyamory with two follow up -
Deadlines but the announcement of my successes did not name me, and a train, my friend he jumped
going out getting -
dont touch me,
i didn't say.
I dreamt of taking sixty-two flights in three years
twenty four since January
six flats and cysts
going home? safe men
but defibrillators and my father
Eye 2: Sounds disturbing
Eye 1: Yes well. I believe it is better to suffer injustice than to do injustice (Gorgias 469a-479e). Oh wait.
Eye 2: In my view, the one who is unjust and acts without discipline is utterly wretched.
He is more wretched if he does not pay a penalty and does not receive punishment as a wrongdoer.
He is less wretched if he does pay a penalty and meets with justice at the hands of gods and men (Soc. 472E).
Eye 1: Bring them before the great eye!
Eye 2: oh yes particularly the blind one played by Sam buttery
Eye 1: Who is Sam Buttery
Eye 2: Thusly self-restraint and endurance are good and praiseworthy dispositions, unrestraint and softness bad and blameworthy;
the self-restrained man is the man who abides by the results of his calculations (Nic. Eth. 7).
Eye 1: No body deserves to be hurt. Is it also not true that people act against their beliefs?
Eye 2: No one goes willingly toward the bad (Protagoras 358d).
Eye 1: Unless you take Akrasia
Eye 2: Impossible. I successfully suppressed my body.
- Look, I am sorry for everything you have gone through.
But it doesn’t change the facts.
Eye 1: Precisely. We must build a world without Chaos
Eye 2: No that is not the lesson here
Eye 1: Without Chaos you have control. You can't go wrong or be hurt. Nobody threatens how you organise reality.
- It’s the flattest of possible worlds.
5 Moon of ἐνκράτος
Some say that black winged Night, a goddess of whom even Zeus stands in awe, was courted by the wind and laid a silver egg in the womb of darkness, and that Eros was hatched from this egg and set the Universe in motion.
Others say that Nature poured paint into the world unpredictable but beautiful and set the Universe growing and alive
Reality is gorgeous. The universe is a celebration.
Two eyeballs meet in a cave and turn to stare at the wall.
Eye 2: The most fascinating question in the world is who am eye. What do you mean, what do you feel when you say the words I eye myself.
Eye 1: I don’t think there can be any more fascinating preoccupation than that.
Eye 2: Because it’s so mysterious, it’s so elusive
Eye: 1: Because what you are, in your inmost being, escapes your examination in rather the same way that you can’t look directly into your own eyes without using a mirror. We are multiple eyes at once. There is always an element of profound mystery in the problem of who we are.
Eye 2: Where is your eye?
Eye 1: Isn’t it you?

“accounting for akrasia”— Sophie Chappell. How someone can willingly and knowingly choose what they take to be wrong. Plato allows for this possibility by admitting divisions within the soul rather than the self: see e.g. Republic 430e-431a, and cp. Phaedrus 246a-b. 6
