Realistic philosophy sees chaos as the earliest state of disorganized
creation, blindly impelled towards the creation of a new order of phenomena of
hidden meanings (22). Blavatsky, for example, asks: ‘What is primordial chaos
but the ether containing within itself all forms and all beings, all the seeds of
universal creation?’ Plato and the Pythagoreans maintained that this ‘primordial
substance’ was the soul of the world, called protohyle by the alchemists. Thus,
chaos is seen as that which embraces all opposing forces in a state of undifferentiated dissolution. In primordial chaos, according to Hindu tradition, one also
meets Amrita—immortality—and Visha—evil and death (9). In alchemy, chaos
was identified with prime matter and thought to be a massa confusa from which
the lapis would arise (32); it was related to the colour black. It has also been
identified with the unconscious. But it is better to regard chaos as the state
preceding the condition of the unconscious.
