Inspiration#00014 – Discordian Society – Principia Discordia
ErisKallistiDiscordia
All the ideas described and presented in the one of the most fascinating, profound and entertaining books I have ever read, Principia Discordia, resonate with me on the deepest level possible. I would recommend this amazing read to anybody, but unfortunately not everybody would get it, want to get it, and allow her/himself to get it.
Here are some of the ideas and quotes from the book:
“Curb Your Dogma. The Enlightened take things Lightly.
A Discordian is Prohibited of Believing what he reads.
IT IS MY FIRM BELIEF THAT IT IS A MISTAKE TO HOLD FIRM BELIEFS
The human race will begin solving its problems on the day that it ceases taking itself so seriously.
Salvation from an ugly and barbarous existence that is the result of taking order so seriously and so seriously fearing contrary orders and disorder, that GAMES are taken as more important than LIFE; rather than taking LIFE AS THE ART OF PLAYING GAMES.THE SACRED CHAO
THE SACRED CHAO is the key to illumination. Devised by the Apostle Hung Mung in ancient China, it was modified and popularized by the Taoists and is sometimes called the YIN-YANG. The Sacred Chao is not the Yin-Yang of the Taoists. It is the HODGE-PODGE of the Erisians. And, instead of a Podge spot on the Hodge side, it has a PENTAGON which symbolizes the ANERISTIC PRINCIPLE, and instead of a Hodge spot on the Podge side, it depicts the GOLDEN APPLE OF DISCORDIA to symbolize the ERISTIC PRINCIPLE.
The Sacred Chao symbolizes absolutely everything anyone need ever know about absolutely anything, and more! It even symbolizes everything not worth knowing, depicted by the empty space surrounding the Hodge-Podge.”
