Meaning of ordo ab chao




Felipe Lorenzo del Río

ordo ab chao
  27

Latin expression: Order from chaos . Motto of the Freemasons of the Scottish rite that replaced the one attributed to the legendary Richard the Lionheart in the twelfth century Deus meumque ius (God and my right). Already our classical Greeks, one of our cultural pillars, had said that the Cosmos (ordered matter) came from chaos, either by the action of a demiurge computer (Plato) or by the evolution of chaos itself. Christians are another story with their idea of creation.
