It is a bit much lol. To further narrow it down:
"One must beware making dogma, for Spare went to great pains to exclude it as much as possible to achieve success in his magic; however a number of basic assumptionsa number of basic assumptions underpin chaos magic.
"So in his art and writing, Spare is putting us in the mood; or showing by example what attitude we need to adopt to approach the `angle of depart- ure of consciousness' in order to enter the infinite. What pitch of con- sciousness we need to gain success.
"Chaos is the universal potential of creative force, which is constantly engaged in trying to seep through the cracks of our personal and collective realities. It is the power of Evolution/Devolution.
"Shamanism is innate within every one of us and can be tapped if we qualify by adjusting our perception/attitude and making our being ready to accept the spontaneous. Achieving Gnosis, or hitting the `angle of departure of consciousness and time', is a knack rather than a skill."
It seems to me as if this branch of "magic" is trying to define an entire dimension/plane of existence without mysticism.
