How far does the golden apple roll?
You decide.

2005-03-29 [sapphiresphinx]: Ahh, I was going to say because it seems like it would mesh pretty well w/Egyptian beliefs.

2005-03-29 [LeafyGreenPuddle]: You ARE discordian, silly. You're a fuckin' discordian POPE! That entails absolutely nothing and everything all at once. I don't know. I didn't do it.         Discordians don't have dogma or rules, love. They just are. Some of them are really gungho and get into the labeling process. I personally think that's bullshit. Eris is merely a personification of the concept of chaos and change. And she could definately kick my ass for saying that, but she won't because she's a lazy pothead. Discordianism is basicly the understanding that chaos is just as important as order for either of them to exist. Anything's opposite must exist for either of them to exist. But then... there are no rules

2005-03-29 [sapphiresphinx]: So, basically, in your opinion, a Discordian is anyone who recognizes that chaos is just as essential to the world as order? it certainly does mesh quite well with Egyptian stuff then :P I was also curious because I know someone who works mostly with Yinepu-Wepwawet(Anubis) and is a Discordian...hrmm I don't have anything else to ramble about really, so that's it I guess!

2005-03-30 [LeafyGreenPuddle]: You don't have to ramble. You're not rambling if you have something to say. and uhh... I don't follow Egyptian stuff. sorry.

2005-03-30 [sapphiresphinx]: The Egyptian philosophy is that the best way for things to be is for there to be complete balance between order and chaos, and that each is as nessecary as the other. Too much order leads to stagnance, and too much chaos leads to...ermm well I'm not sure I know the word, but you get it. I hope.

2005-03-30 [nokaredes]: I get it, but probably because I 'follow the whole Egyptian thing.' >.>

2005-03-30 [LeafyGreenPuddle]: "pandemonium."  That is very very interesting... What do you know of the Illuminati? And the eye and the pyramid on the back of your dollar bills? The Illuminati is like.... the other side of the discordian coin. We're not neccessarily enemies... we're just opposites. They understand that order is just as important to exist for chaos to exist. It's just a different angle from which to view the same world. So yeah.. I find it very intriguing that the egyptian philosophy is so closely related to the discordian one.

2005-03-30 [sapphiresphinx]: Ooh, pandemonium fits quite well. thanks :P I don't know much about the Illuminati past the stuff in Angels and Demons(fiction book by Dan Brown). Which is probably exagerrated. It is interesting that the philosophies are so close, where's Discordia come from? A lot of modern occultism is highly influenced by both Greek and Egyptian cultures, so maybe that has something to do with it.

2005-03-31 [LeafyGreenPuddle]: I've never read it and only barely heard of it. And it doesn't matter if it's exaggerated or not. You write your own truths anyway. Discordia came from a bowling alley in norther california. shit you not. It also came from the beginning of time. People causing change. It's always been around. It's not even necessarily only People. It's any change anywhere. It's not a religion, so it isn't "practised" or anything... However... Chaos is personified by Eris, or Discordia, the Greek and Roman names for the goddess of chaos. It's all a bunch of crap though. ;D

2005-04-12 [Dr.No]: No it's not.

2005-04-12 [LeafyGreenPuddle]: No, It is Not. It is Not.

2005-04-12 [LeafyGreenPuddle]: "Not" is sybolized in the empty space around and between the two halves of the sacred chao. Just as it is on the back of every dollar bill. The space around and between the pyramid and the illuminatus sybolizes everything that Is Not. But let's remember the rule of opposites. That which exists could not exist if not for the things that don't exist. No up without down. No dark without light. No black without white. No wrong without right.

2005-04-12 [Dr.No]: Exactly. Even nothing is something.

2005-04-15 [LeafyGreenPuddle]: Though nothing isn't as satisfying as something

2005-04-15 [nokaredes]: Sometimes it is, and sometimes it isn't...it depends on what the alternative is.

2005-04-15 [LeafyGreenPuddle]: True. Walking away can feel countless times better than sticking around.

2005-04-15 [LeafyGreenPuddle]: But not when you really want something to keep you there.

2005-04-28 [LeafyGreenPuddle]: so... quantum psychology, ey?

2005-04-30 [nokaredes]: *is confused*

2005-05-03 [LeafyGreenPuddle]: So ask questions if you're confused. Ask questions if you're not confused.

2005-05-04 [nokaredes]: why?
