ABOUT The Discordian Society

INFOHAZARD: CAUTION!!!

Well, I think Pope Icky Fundament, PZK hit the proverbial penis on the head when someone asked him what Discordianism is:
"""""
Is it a religion for today? A joke for the religious? Or just a lot of fun? Who knows, who cares, why bother? Here's a burner phone, call someone who gives a ♥♥♥♥.

But that's not what I'm here to tell you. Nosiree, I'm here to tell you about the thing that's gonna help you through the turbulent First Days of the Twenty-First Century (Much Lamented). That's Discordianism. And, for the healthful among you, Discordianism Lite.

What is it, you say? Well, it's a great way to get neat things in the mail. And it's a great way to pick up girls, boys, aliens, and your occasional mushroom at parties. And it slices and dices! Does it make sense out of a constantly changing universe in which nobody is sure of their rightful place? NO! Nothing can do that! But it can make you stop caring.

"What's in it for me?" you ask, much like Donald Trump did when offered oral sex. But what you don't understand is, YOU'RE ASKING THE WRONG QUESTION! What you should be asking is, "What ISN'T in it for me?"

Ask that now.

Good thing you asked that. What ISN'T in Discordianism or Easy Listening Discordianism is Eternal Damnation! Also not in it is Guilt! Or Death! Okay, maybe you WILL die, but your memory will live on in your Wholly Writings, which can only be inspired by Eris! Eris, who inspired the Principia Discordia, the Bible, the Koran, the Talmud, and the Tasteless Jokes series! Eris the all-humorous! Be funny in the name of the Queen of Hilarity.
"""""
However, just for fun, I'll give you a little insight as to what is in it for you. We have a long and illustrious history, a set of metaphysics that even Bugs Bunny could be proud of, a nonstandard-issue Only Begotten Son of our Goddess, a set of ethics that are so easy no one will ever try them, a wonderful set of Torot Cards with which to interpret the Pentaverse (any similarity between our cards and any others that you may find elsewhere is purely circumstantial and might not even form a reliable basis for a law suit), a nice Mandala (from the Hindu word for "Eye-Bugging Headache Generator of Many Tacky Colors") and, to keep the children out of mischief, a small Jihad.
We have other things as well, but if you think I'm going give you a nice, easy central link-hub to everything, welcome to the Discordian Society (notice the lack of link); you're stark raving crazy.

May 12 #EmergingProud - Rethinking Madness

11 May, 2017 - [JS]revever | 0 Comments

An effort to encourage people to come out of the spiritual closet and to reframe how our medical psychology views madness.

Among the activities there will be two documentaries screened that deal with the topic of spiritual awakening.

One is "CRAZYWISE" -- Crazy…or wise? The traditional wisdom of indigenous cultures often contradicts modern views about a mental health crisis. Indigenous cultures call a break with reality a "spiritual awakening" while modern psychological medicine will label this as a "first-episode-psychosis." Is it a ‘calling’ to grow or just a ‘broken brain’? The documentary CRAZYWISE explores what can be learned from people around the world who have turned their psychological crisis into a positive transformative experience.

The other is "#EmergingProud"
"This is more than a movie, this is a movement! A new paradigm of mental health and human awareness is emerging and these are some of the pioneering voices heralding that change. I watched the Emerging Proud film with tears in my eyes thinking of the lives that will be saved and of the possibilities and gifts made available when human transformation is managed well. And this is just the beginning…..” – Kimberley Jones, UK.

The Great Intercourse

7 August, 2011 - [JS]revever | 0 Comments

I have divers times handled that stone with my hands, and have seen a real transmutation of saleable quicksilver with mine eyes, which, in proportion, did exceed the powder which made the gold in some thousand degrees.

It was of the colour that is in saffron, being weighty in its powder, and shining like bruised glass, when it should be the less exactly beaten. But there was once given unto me the fourth part of one grain, (I call, also, a grain the six hundredth part of one ounce). This powder I involved in wax, scraped off a certain letter, lest, in casting it into the crucible, it should be dispersed, through the smoke of the coals; which pellet of wax I afterwards cast into the three-cornered vessel of a crucible upon a pound of quicksilver, hot and newly bought; and presently the whole quicksilver, with some little noise, stood still from flowing, and resided like a lump; but the heat of that argent vive was as much as might forbid melted lead from recoagulating. The fire being straightaway after increased under the bellows, the metal was melted; the which, the vessel of fusion being broken, I found to weigh eight ounces of the most pure gold.

Therefore, a computation being made, a grain of that powder doth convert nineteen thousand two hundred grains of impure and volatile metal, which is obliterable by the fire, into true gold.

For that powder, by uniting the aforesaid quicksilver unto itself, preserved the same, at one instant, from an eternal rust, putrifaction, death, and torture of the fire, howsoever most violent it was, and made it as an immortal thing, against any vigour or industry of art and fire, and transchanged it into the virgin purity of gold; at leastwise one only fire of coals is required herein.
