    I actually stumbled across it in Highschool looking to see if there was any precedence for videogame chaos magic in history and it ended up being a big influence on me. The concept of cosmic truth being unattainable was a huge existential relief, I don’t have to strive for any greater than I need.

    The idea that all spiritual practice is arbitrary rules fueled only by the beliefs of the practitioners helps me more in my practical life than spiritually. When you really stop to look at it, so many stressors are just internalized arbitrary rules. I can run a race and choose what place I want to be in, I don’t have to choose first place.
