/eris/ - Discordianism

If you're not familiar with Discordianism, you're probably wondering what the hell this board is all about, so I'm going to lay things straight so you can get your bearings amongst the confusion.

>What the fuck IS Discordianism?

Long story short, Discordianism is a religion that started in the early 60's based around the ancient Greek Goddess of Chaos, Confusion, and Discord. Starting religions was a popular hobby back then, so a couple of guys got together, made their own holy text, passed it around, and many people had great fun with it.

>So what's it all about then?

You should probably read the Principia yourself, but the basic point is that Chaos is the ultimate creative power behind everything. Chaos consists of Order and Disorder, which may or may not be social constructs. There is no single message of importance to the Principia Discordia, but it is quite an enjoyable read. Any individual may feel free to interpret it in any way they wish. You may even ignore it altogether.

>Say, you're not trying to convert me, are you?

It differs per board owner, but I'd say yes, join the Society and find your sect. It's all up to you what you want to do. The Discordian Society is entirely decentralized, making it possible for you to make your own sect or join in on anothers' beliefs and projects. If you are curious to find out more about Discordianism, it is not advised to use the internet to do so, and certainly not the first or second thing you find on Google. This board is a place to discuss your findings.

>What is this "greyface" thing that you people keep going on about?

In the year 1166 BC, a man by the name of Greyface decided that life had to be seriously considered. From that point on, anyone which believes in the division of Disorder and Order within Chaos and chooses one over the other is regarded as bearing the Curse of Greyface. In reality there are no divisions in Chaos, you can't cut it in half like a pie. Within the Discordian Society there is however a lot of hypocrisy, thus POEE decided to put a positive spin on Chaos by dividing it Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

Here are the two most amusing books Discordianism has to offer; The Principia Discordia describes and outlines the religion, and The Black Iron Prison describes the prison of 'self' in which all organisms necessarily exist.

These books and more can also be found at principiadiscordia.com. If you have any material you'd like to post here, please do!

The goddess of discord that appeared in greek mythology briefly hurt me once because i accidentally lied in the manner in which i prayed to her.

Anyways, i say to chaos magickians and to other people: teach me the best of what you know, and in exchange, i'll try to heal you in a time of need if you ever have one. It's a good deal so send me a message to sosalekashae@protonmail.com

As Rosanov says, men are crushed under the wardrobe.

Without lifting up the wardrobe it is impossible to deliver whole peoples from their endless and unbearable suffering. It is terrible that even one man should be crushed under such a weight: to want to breathe, and not to be able to.

The wardrobe rests on everybody, and everyone gets his inalienable share of suffering. And everybody tries to lift up the wardrobe, but not with the same conviction, not with the same energy. A curious, groaning civilization.

Thinkers ask themselves: “What? Men under the wardrobe? However did they get there?”

All the same, they got there.

And if someone comes along and proves, in the name of objectivity, that the burden can never be removed, each of his words adds to the weight of the wardrobe; that object which he means to describe with the universality of his ‘objective consciousness’.

And the whole Christian spirit is there, fondling suffering like a good dog, and handing out photographs of crushed (but smiling) men. “The rationality of the wardrobe is always the best!" proclaim the thousands of books published, every day, to be stacked in the wardrobe.

And all the while, everyone wants to breathe, and no-one can breathe, and many say, “We will breathe later," and most do not die, because they are already dead.

It is now or never.

Post something tangentially related to this picture. Then someone else posts something tangentially related to that picture, and so on. Let's see where this ends up.

Remember to write something too, to satisfy the r9k script.

DE is a way of doing. It is a way of doing everything you do. DE simply means doing whatever you do in the easiest most relaxed way you can manage which is also the quickest and most efficient way, as you will find as you advance in DE.

Fuck your shitty cult, you're a bunch of heretics and your goddess pads her chest. Repent of your faggotry and Aqua-sama might find it in her to forgive you.
