Editing Arms of Asura (section)

==Beliefs==
Religious and spiritual practice are at the core of the Legion. Their belief is quite complex if not outright maddening. The universe is, according to them, a Great Illusion. To exist is to be in denial of the truth that is Chaos. The Warp is, to them, a greater level of existence and consciousness and while it is universal truth it is not easily attained. Some would argue that right there is a paradox: if Chaos is so universal then how come it take a lifetime to truly understand it? More verbose and willing to discuss and share their ideas via a mean other than a chainsword to the face than their fellow chaos space marines, the Arms of Asura would be quick to point out that contradiction itself is a facet of the warp and chaos.

The Arms of Asura do not worship the Chaos Gods. This, again, would seem like yet another paradox of their belief system. While they acknowledge the Chaos Gods as an essential component of Chaos and the Warp they merely see them as an ‘emanation’ of a greater, more universal chaotic truth. When true spiritual enlightenment is achieved, they claim, there will be no need for the Chaos Gods who will, in turn, not need to be bound by such names and associations. Chaos will be so absolute there will be no beginning nor end, no time or  differentiation: it will be pure chaos in which even the Gods of Chaos are dissolved.

The ‘pentagram’ of the Arms of Asura represent the various ‘truths’ of Chaos, which other chaos worshipper associate in part to the Chaos Gods.
* The first Truth: Life is change. Change is chaos. Associated with Tzeentch.
* The second Truth: Life is desire. Desire is chaos. Associated with Slaanesh.
* The third Truth: Existence is life. Life is chaos. Associated with Nurgle.
* The fourth Truth: Life is savagery. Savagery is chaos. Associated with Khorne.
* The fifth Truth: Chaos is a paradox. Associated with Malal.
In addition, the center and outside of the pentagram form three more Truths:
* The central Truth: The four truths must be both denied and accepted and in their paradox, the fifth truth, become the central truth.
* The outer Truth: Truth can be taught. Chaos can become.
* The All-Truth: Chaos is. While this might seem rather simplistic to outsiders, there is a much greater meaning to be pondered in this simple statement.
