The unordered state of matter in primordial cosmogony. Primarily, chaos is the primitive state of the universe, from which gives birth to creation (Genesis).

The abyss (not the inferior abyss), or the “Great Deep.” Personified as the Egyptian Goddess Neith, the Great Mother, the Immaculate Virgin from which arises all matter. The Chaos is WITHIN the Ain Soph. The primitive state of the universe.

The second kháos, from where the fundamental principles of the human being emerged, exists within Yesod-Mercury, which is the sexual human center. The third Kháos, the Infernal Worlds, exists below the Thirteenth Aeons in the region of Klipoth, in the underworld.”
