GREATER POOP: Are you really serious or what?
 MAL-2: Sometimes I take humor seriously. Sometimes I take seriousness humorously. Either way it is irrelevant.

GP: Maybe you are just crazy.
M2: Indeed! But do not reject these teachings as false because I am crazy. The reason that I am crazy is because they are true.

GP: Is Eris true?
M2: Everything is true.
GP: Even false things?
M2: Even false things are true.
GP: How can that be?
M2: I don't know man, I didn't do it.

GP: Why do you deal with so many negatives?
M2: To dissolve them.
GP: Will you develop that point?
M2: No.

GP: Is there an essential meaning behind POEE?
M2: There is a Zen Story about a student who asked a Master to explain the meaning of Buddhism. The Master's reply was "Three pounds of flax." GP: Is that your answer tomyquestion?
M2: No, of course not. That is just illustrative.
The answer to your question is FIVE TONS OF FLAX~

A ZEN STORY

by Camden Benaresj The oun~ of FiveHeadmasterj Camp Meeker Cabal

A serious young man found the conflicts of mid 20th Century America confusing. He went to many people seeking a way of resolving within himself the discords that troubled him, but he remained troubled.
                                                            One night in a coffee house, a self-ordained Zen Master said to him, "Go to the dilapidated mansion you will find at this address which I have written down for you. Do not speak to those who live there; you must remain silent until the moon rises tomorrow night. Go to the large room on the right of the main hallway, sit in the lotus position on top of the rubble in the northeast corner, face the corner, and medi tate."
           He did as the Zen Master instructed. His meditation was frequently interrupted by worries. He worried whether or not the rest of the plumbing fixtures would fall from the second floor bathroom to join the pipes and other trash he was sitting on. He worried how would he know when the moon rose on the next night. He worried about what the people who walked through the room said about him.
                                                     Hi s worrying and meditation were disturbed when, as if in a test of his faith, ordure fell from the second floor onto him. At that time two people walked into the room. The first asked the second who the man sitting there was. The second replied "Some say he is a holy man. Others say he is a shithead."
Hearing this, the
man was enlightened.

       Just prior to the decade of the nineteen-sixties, when Sputnik was alone and new, and about the time that Ken Kesey took his first acid trip as a medical volunteer; before underground newspapers, Viet Nam, and talk of a second American Revolution; in the comparative quiet of the late nineteen-fifties, just before the idea of RENAISSANCE became relevant ....

      Two young Californians, known later as Omar Ravenhurst and Malaclypse the Younger, were indulging in their habit of sipping coffee at an allnight bowling alley and generally solving the world's problems. This particular evening the main subject of discussion was discord and they were complaining to each other of the personal confusion they felt in their respective lives. "Solve the problem of discord," said one, "and all other problems will vanish." "Indeed," said the other, "chaos and strife are the roots of all confusi on."
FIRST! Ml.~ RIN YOU
WITH FAIRY DUST

Suddenly the pla~e beowne ~evoid of light.
Then an utter silenoe enveloped them, and a great stillne66 was felt. Then came a blinding flash of intense light, as though their very psyches had gone nova. Then vision returned.

      The two were dazed and neither moved nor spoke for several minutes. They looked around and saw that the bowlers were frozen like statues in a variety of comic positions, and that a bowling ball was steadfastly anchored to the floor only inches from the pins that it had been sent to scatter. The two looked at each other, totally unable to account for the phenomenon. The condition was one of suspension, and one noticed that the clock had stopped.

New Story of Chaos


~o ~irJJe ever cured
                                    a pre ~n anca~
        There walked into the room a chimpanzee, shaggy and grey about the muzzlej yet upright to his full five feetj and poised with natural majesty. He carried a scroll and walked to the young men.

        "Gentlemenj" he said) "why does Pickering's Moon go about in reverse orbit? Gentlemenj there are nipples on your chests; do you give milk? And what~ pray tellj Gentlemenj is to be done about Heisenberg's aw?" He paused. "SOMEBODY HAD TO PUT ALL OF THIS CONFUSION BERE/"

        And with that he revealed his scroll. It was a diagramj like a yin-yang with a pentagon on one side and an ~pple on the other. And then he exploded and the two lost consciousness.

ERIS - GODDESS OF CHAOS, DISCORD & CONFUSION

        They awoke to the sound of pins clattering, and found the bowlers engaged in their game and the waitress busy with making coffee. It was apparant that their experience had been private.

       They discussed their strange encounter and reconstructed from memory the chimpanzee's diagram. Over the next five days they searched libraries to find the significance of it, but were disappointed to uncover only references to Taoism, the Korean flag, and Technocracy. It was not until they traced the Greek writing on the apple that they discovered the ancient Goddess known to the Greeks as ERIS and to the Romans as DISCORDIA. This was on the fifth night, and when they slept that night each had a vivid dream of a splendid woman whose eyes were as soft as feather and as deep as eternity itself, and whose body was the spectacular dance of atoms and universes. Pyrotechnics of pure energy formed her flowing hair, and rainbows manifested and dissolved as she spoke in a warm and gentle voice:

       I have come to tell you that you are free. Many ages agoj My consciousness left manj that he might

develop himself. I return to find this development approaching completion, but hindered by fear and by misunderstanding.

     You have built for yourselves psychic suits of armor, and clad in themj your vision is restricted, your movements are clumsy and painfulj your skin is bruised, and your spirit is broiled in the sun.

     I am chaos. I am the substance from which your artists and scientists build rhythms. I am the spirit with which your children and clowns laugh in ha~py anarchy. I am chaos. I am alive, and I tell you that you are free.

     During the next months they studied philosophies and theologies, and learned that ERIS or DISCORDIA was primarily feared by the ancients as betng disruptive. Indeed, the very concept of chaos was still considered equivilent to strife and treated as a negative. "No wonder things are all screwed up," they concluded, "they have got it all backwards." They found that the principle of disorder was every much as significant as the principle of order.

     With this in mind, they studied the strange yinyang. During a meditation one afternoon, a voice came to them:

     It is called THE SACRED CHAO. I appoint you Keepers of It. Therein you will find anything you like. Speak of Me as DISCORD, to show contrast to the pentagon. Tell oonstricted mankind that there are no rulesj unless they choose to invent rules. Keep close the words of Syadasti: 'TI$ A~ ILL WIND THAT BLOWS NO NINDS. And remember that there is no tyranny in the State of Confusion. For further information, ~onsult your pinsal gland.

      "What is this?" mumbled one to the other, "A religion based on The Goddess of Confusion? It is utter madness :"

      And with those words, each looked at the other in absolute awe. Omar began to giggle. Mal began to laugh. Omar began jumping up and down. Mal was hooting and hollering to beat all hell. And amid squea)s of mirth and with tears on their cheeks, each appointed the other to be high priest of his own madness, and together they declared themselves to be a society of Discordia, for what ever that may turn out to be.

Persons in a Position to Know, Inc.

ON PRAYER

Mal-2 was once asked by one of his Disciples if he often prayed to Eris. He replied with these words:

No, we Erisians seldom pray, it is much too dangerous. Charles Fort has listed many factual incidences of ignorant people confronted with, say, a drought, and then praying fervently--and then getting the entire village wiped out in a torrential flood.

WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT ERIS (not much)

  The Romans left a likeness of Her for posterity--She
  was shown as a grotesque woman with a pale and ghastly
  look, Her eyes afire, Her garment ripped and torn, and
  as concealing a dagger in Her Bosom. Actually, most
  women look pale and ghastly when concealing a chilly
  dagger in their bosoms.

  Her geneology is from the Greeks and is utterly con-
  fused. Either She was the twin of Ares and the daugh-
  ter of Zeus and Hera; or She was the daughter of Nyx,
  goddess of night (who was either the daughter or wife
  of Chaos, or both), and Nyx's brother, Erebus, and
  whose brothers and sisters include Death, Doom, Mock-
  ery, Misery and Friendship. And that She begat For-
  getfullness, Quarrels, Lies, and a bunch of gods and
  goddesses like that.

One day Mal-2 consulted his Pineal Gland* and asked Eris if She really created all of those terrible things. She told him that She had always liked the Old Greeks, but that they cannot be trusted with historic matters. "They were," She added, "victims of indigestion, you know."

Suffice it to say that Eris is not hateful or malicious. But She is mischievous, and does get a little bitchy at times.

*THE PINEAL GLAND is where each and every one of us can talk to Er~8. If you have trouble activating your Pineal, then try the appendix which does almoet
as well. Reference: DOGMA I, METAPHYSICS #$j "The Indootrine of The Pinaal Gland."

The Inside Story!

THE LAN OF FZVES

The Law of Fives is one of the oldest Erisian Hysterees. It was first revealed to Good Lord Omar and is one of the great contributions to come from The Hidden Temple of The Happy Jesus.

POEE subscribes to the Law of Fives of Omar's sect. And POEE also recognizes the Holy 23 (2+3=5) that is incorporated by Episkopos Dr. Mordecai Malignatius, KNS, into his DiscordJan sect, The Ancient 111umi nated Seers of Bavaria.

The Law of Fives states simply that:
ALL THINGS HAPPEN IN FIVES, OR ARE
DIVISIBLE BY OR ARE MULTIPLES OF FIVE,
OR ARE SOMEHON DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY
APPROPRIATE TO 5.

The Law of Fives is never wrong.

In the Erisian Archives is an old memo from Omar to Mal-2: "I find the Law of Fives to be more and more manifest the harder I look."

                                                                  DC~'"i!~,,.' ....    '              .' T,U.,I.~'

THE MYTH OF THE APPLE OF DISCORD    '"//J~

       It seems that Zeus was preparing a wedding banquet for Peleus and Thetis and did not want to invite Eris because of Her reputation as a trouble maker,*

       This made Eris angry, and so She fashioned an apple of pure gold** and inscribed upon it KALLISTI ("To T~ E~ettiest One") and on the day of the fete She rolled it into the banquet hall and then left to be alone and joyously partake of a hot dog.

       Now, three of the invited goddesses,*** Athena, Hera, and Aphrodite, each immediately claimed it to belong to herself because of the inscription. And they started fighting, and they started throwing punch all over the place and everything.

       Finally Zeus calmed things down and declared that an arbitrator must be selected, which was a reasonable suggestion, and all agreed. He sent them to a shepherd of Troy, whose name was Paris because his mother had had a lot of gaul and had married a Frenchman; but each of the sneaky goddesses tried to outwit the others by going early and offering a bribe to Paris.

       Athena offered him Heroic War Victories, Hera offeted him Great Wealth, and Aphrodite offered him The Most Beautiful Woman on Earth. Being a healthy young Trojan lad, Paris promptly accepted Aphrodite's bribe and she got the apple and he got screwed.

       As she had promised, she maneuvered earthly happenings so that Paris could have Helen (the Helen) then living with her husband Menelaus, Kln~ of Sparta. Anyway, everyone knows that the Trojan War followed


-2-

when Sparta demanded their Queen back and that the Trojan War is said to be The First War among men.

       And so we suffer because of The Original Snub. And so a DiscordJan is to partake of No Hot Dog Buns.

Do you believe that?

This is called THE DOCTRINE OF THE ORIGINAL SNUB.

~* There is historic disagreement concerning whether this ~pple was of metalic gold or acapulco.

*~* Actually there were five goddesses, but the Greeks did not know of the Law of Fives.

: THE FIVE FINGERED HAND OF ERIS =

The official symbol of POEE is here illustrated. It may be this, or any similar device to represent TWO OPPOSING ARROWS CONVERGING INTO A COMMON POINT. It may be vertical, horizontal, or else such, and it may be elaborated or simplified as desired.

The esoteric name for this symbol is THE FIVE FINGERED HAND OF ERIS, commonly shortened to THE HAND.
)

NOTE: In the lore of western magio, the ~
is taken to symbolize horns, especially the horns of Satan or of diabolical beasties. The Five Fingered Hand of Eris) however) is not intended to be taken as satanicj for the "horns" are supported by another setj of inverted 'thorns." Or maybe it is walrus tusks. I don't know what it is, to tell the truth.
00021

  a ,d a].f.e eqGJs


POEE (pronounced "POEE") is an acron~qn for The PARATHEO-ANAMETAMYSTIKHOOD OF ERIS ESOTERIC. The first part can be taken to mean "equivalent diety, reversing beyond-mystique." We are not really esoteric, it's just that nobody pays much attention to us.

MY HIGH REVERENCE MALACLYPSE THE YOUNGER, AB, DD, KSC, is the High Priest of POEE, and POEE is grounded in his episkopotic revelations of The Goddess. He is called The Omnibenevolent Polyfather of Virginity in Gold.

The POEE HEAD TEMPLE is the Joshua Norton Cabal of The Discordian Society, which is located in Mal-2's pineal gland and can be found by temporaly and spacialy locating the rest of Mal-2.

POEE has no treasury, no by-laws, no articles, no guides save Mal-2's pineal gland, and has only one scruple--which Mal-2 keeps on his key chain.

POEE has not registered, incorporated, or otherwise chartered with the State, and so the State does not recognize POEE or POEE Ordinations, which is only fair, because POEE does not recognize the State.

POEE has 5 DEGREES:
There is the neophyte, or LEGIONNAIRE DISCIPLE.
The LEGIONNAIRE DEACON, who is catching on.
An Ordained POEE PRIEST/PRIESTESS or a CHAPLIN.
The HIGH PRIEST, the Polyfather.
And POEE =POPE=.

POEE LEGIONNAIRE DISCIPLES are authorized to initiate others as DiscordJan Society Legionnaires. PRIESTS appoint their own DEACONS. The POLYFATHER ordains Priests. I don't know about the =POPES=.

POEE & IT'S PRIESTS

If you like Erisianism as it is presented according to Mal-2, then you may wish to form your own POEE CABAL as a POEE PRIEST and you can go do a bunch of POEE Priestly Things. A "POEE Cabal" is exactly what you think it is.

The High Priest makes no demands on his Priests, though he does rather expect good will of them. The Office of The Polyfather is to point, not to teach. Once in a while, he even listens.

Should you find that your own revelations of The
Goddess become substantially different than the
revelations of Mal-, then perhaps The Goddess has
plans for you as an Episkopos, and you might consider
creating your own sect from scratch, unhindered.
Episkoposes are not competing with each other, and
they are all POEE Priests anyway (as soon as I locate
them). The point is that ~piskoposes are developing
separate paths to the Erisian mountain top. See the
section "Discordion Society."                                   ~~~
ORDINATION AS A POEE PRIEST

There are no particular qualifications for Ordination because if you want to be a POEE Priest then you must undoubtedly qualify. Who could possibly know better than you whether or not you should be Ordained?

An ORDAINED POEE PRIEST or PRIESTESS is defined as
"one who holds an Ordination Certificate from The
Office of the Polyfather."

HOW TO START A POEE CABAL
WITHOUT MESSING AROUND WITH lHE POLYFATHER

If you cannot find the Polyfather, or having found him, don't want anything to do with him, you are still authorized to fom your own POEE CABAL and do Priestly
Things, using the Principia Discordia as a guide. Your
Official Rank will be POEE CHAPLIN for THE LEGION OF DYNAMIC DISCORD, which is exactly the same as a POEE PRIEST except that you don't have an Ordination Certificate. The words you are now reading are your
ordi nation.

HOW TO BECOME A POEE CHAPLIN
1. Write the ERISIAN AFFIRMATION in five copies.
2. Sign and nose-print each copy.
3. Send one to The President of the United States.
4. Send one to
The California State Bureau of Furniture
and Bedding

TRIP 5
-- THE POEE BAPTISMAL RITE:

This Mysteree Rite is not required for initiation, but it is offered by many POEE Priests to proselytes who desire a formal ceremony.

l) The Priest and four Brothers are arranged in a pentagon with the Initiate in the center facing the Priest. If possible, the Brothers on the immediate right and left of the Priest should be Deacons. The Initiate must be totally naked, to demonstrate that he is truly a human beings and not something else in disguise like a cabbage or something.

2) All persons in the audience and the pentagon, excepting the Priest, assume a squatting position and return to a standing position. This is repeated four more times. This dance is symbolic of the humility of we Erisians.

3) The Priest begins:

I, (complete Hol~ Name~ with M~stical Titles~ and
degreesj designation8, offices, &to.), Ordained
Priest of the Paratheo-anametamystikhood of Eris
Esoterioj with the Authority invested at me by the

House of The Rising Podge, POEE Head Temple; Do
herewith Require of Ye:
    2) ARE YEA HUMAN BEING AND NOT A CABBAGE OR
SOMETHING? The Initiate answers YES.
    2) THAT'S TOO BAD. DO YE WISH TO BETTER THYSELF?
The Initiate answers YES.
    $) HOW STUPID. ARE YE WILLING TO BECOME PHILO-
SOPHICALLY ILLUMINIZED? He answers YES.
    4) VERY FUNNY. WILL YE DEDICATE YESELF TO THE
HOLEY ERISIAN MOVEMENT? The Initiate answers
PROBABLY.
                                    RETURN TO

6) THEN SWEAR YE THE FOLLOWING AFTER ME:
(The Priest here leads the Initiate in a recital
of THE ERISIAN AFFIRMATION.) The Priest continues:
THEN I DO HERE PROCLAIM YE POEE DISCIPLE (neone) LEGIONNAIRE OF THE LEGION OF DYNAMIC DISCORD.
HAIL ERIS! HAIL HAILI HAIL YES[

4) All present rejoice grandly. The new Brother opens a large jug of wine and offers it to all who are present.

THE DISCORDIAN SOCIETY

The Discordian Society has no definition.

I sometimes think of it as a disorganization of Eris Freaks. It has been called a guerrilla mind theatre. Episkopos Randomfactor, Director of Purges of Our People's Underworld Movement sect in Larchmont, prefers "The World's Greatest Association of What-ever-it-isthat-we-are." Lady hal thinks of it as a RENAISSANCE THINK TANK. Fang the Unwashed, WKC, won't say. You can think of it any way you like.

AN EPISKOPOS OF THE DISCORDIAN SOCIETY
is one who prefers total autonomy, and creates his own DiscordJan sect as The Goddess directs him. He speaks for himself and for those that say that they like what he says.

THE LEGION OF DYNAMIC DISCORD:
A Discordian Society Legionnaire is one who prefers not to create his own sect.

If you want in on the DiscordJan Society
then declare yourself what you wish

with preparing the feast and in his endeyor, he found that there was some old tea in a pan left standing from the night before, when he had in his weakness forgot about its making and had let it sit steeping for 24 hours. It was dark and murky and it was Hypoc's intention to use this old tea by diluting it with water. And again in his weakness, chose without further consideration and plunged into the physical labor of the preparations. It was then when deeply immersed in the pleasure of that trip, he had a sudden loud clear voice in his head saying "it is bitter tea that involves you so." Hypoc heard the voice, but the struggle inside intensified, and the pattern, previously established with the physical laboring and the muscle messages coordinated and unified or perhaps coded, continued to exert their influence and Hypoc succummed to the pressure and he denied the voice.

    And again he plunged into the physical orgy and completed the task, and Lo as the voice had predicted, the tea was bitter.

A SERMON ON ETHICS AND LOVE

      One day Mal-2 asked the messenger spirit Saint Gulik to approach the Goddess and request Her presence for some desperate advice. Shortly afterwards the radio came on by itself, and an ethereal female Voice said YES?

      "0'. Eris' Blessed Mother of Man~ Queen of Chaos'. Daughter of Discord'. Concubine of Confusion: O~ Exquisite Lady, I beseech You to lift a heavy burden from my heart'."

WHAT BOTHERS YOU MAL? YOU DON'T SOUND WELL.

      "I am filled with fear and tormented with terrible visions of pain. Everywhere people are hurting one another, the planet is rampant with injustices, whole societies plunder groups of their own people, mothers imprison sons, children perish while brothers war. O, woe."

      WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH THAT, IF IT IS WHAT YOU WANT TO DO?

"But nobody wants it~ Everybody hates it."

OH. WELL THEN STOP.

      At which moment She turned Herself into an aspirin commercial and left The Polyfather stranded al one with hi s species.

      3. 5o Oear went forth to the Sacred Meund, which was to the East of Nullah,
      and thereupon he worked digging tn the sand for five days and five nights,
      but found no Book.

      4. At the end of five days and five nights of digging, tt came to pass that
      Omar was exhausted. So he put his shovel to one side and bedded hteself
      down on the sand, using as a pillow a Golden Chest he had uncovered on the
      first day of his laBors.

      5. Oear slept.

. On the fifth day of his sleeping, Lord Oear fell Into a Trance, and there came to him tn the Trance a Dream, and there came to him tn the Dream a Messenger of Our Lady who teld him of a Sacred Grove wherein was hidden a Golden Chest.

7. And the Angel of Eris bade of the Lord: Go ys h~nee and zgf~ the $t~xah, that ya ~ ~ to o~n it and, c~ming it, shax.e it a~d, sharing it, l~ in it and, lovin0 in it, a~oe~Z in it and, ~oeZ[in0 in the $t~zah, bec~ a

CONVENTIONAL    CHAOS
DO NOT ,,mEND

GREY FACE

In the year 1166 B.C., a malcontented hunchbrain by the name of Greyface, got it into his head that the universe was as humorless as he, and he began to teach that play was sinful because it contradicted the ways of Serious Order. "Look at all the order about you," he said. And from that, he deluded honest men to believe that reality was a straightjacket affair and not the happy romance as men had known it.

It is not presently understood why men were so gullible at that particular time, for absolutely no one thought to observe all the disorder around them and conclude just the opposite. But anyway, Greyface and his followers took the game of playing at life more seriously than they took life itself and were known even to destroy other living beings whose ways of life differed from their own.

The unfortunate result of this is that mankind has since been suffering from a psychological and spiritual imbalance. Imbalance causes frustration, and frustration causes fear. And fear makes a bad trip. Man has been on a bad trip for a long time now.

It is called THE CURSE OF GREYFACE.

1. Before the beginning was the Nonexistent Chao, balanced in Oblivion by the Perfect Counterpushpull of the Hodge and the Podge.

2. Whereupon, by an Act of Happenstance, the Hodge began gradually to overpower the Podge--and the Primal Chaos thereby came to be.

3. So in the beginning was the Primal Chaos, balanced on the Edge of Oblivion by the Perfect Counterpullpush of the Podge and the Hodge.

4. Whereupon, by the Law of Negative Reversal,** the Podge swiftly underpowered the Hodge and Everything broke loose.
5. And therein emerged the Active Force of Discord, the Subtle Manifestation of the Nonexistent Chao, to guide Everything along the Path back to Oblivion that it might not become lost among Precepts of Order in the Region of Thud.

6. Forasmuch as it was Active, the Force of Discord entered the State of Confusion, wherein It copulated with the Queen and begat ER[S, Our Lady of Discord and Gross Manifestation of the Nonexistent Chao.
7. And under Eris Confusion became established, and was hence called Bureaucracy; while over Bureaucracy Eris became established, and was hence called Discordia.
8. By the by it came to pass that the Establishment of Bureaucracy perished in a paper shortage.

9. Thus it was, in accord with the Law of Laws.

10. During and after the Fall of the Establishment of Bureaucracy was the Aftermath, an Age of Disorder in which calculation, computations, and reckonings were put away by the Children of Eris in Acceptance and Preparation for Return to Oblivion to be followed by a Repetition of the Universal Absurdity. Moreover, of Itself the Coming of Aftermath waseth a Resurrection of the Freedom-flowing Chaos. HAIL ERIS~

11. Herein was set into motion the Eristic Pattern, which would Repeat Itself Five Times Over Seventythree Times, after which nothing would happen.

* This doctrine should not be confused with DOGMA III- HISTORY #6, "HISTORIC CYCLES," which states that social progress occurs in five cycles, the first three ("The Tricycle") of which are THESIS, ANTITHESIS and PARENTHESIS; and the last two ("The Bicycle") of which are CONSTERNATION and MORAL WARPTITUDE.
** The LAW OF NEGATIVE REVERSAL states that if something does not happen then the exact opposite will happen, on ylTin exactly the opposite manner from that in which it did not happen.

THE FIVE ORDERS OF DISCORDIA ("THEM")
Gen. Pandaemonium, Commanding     I~
l
The seeds of the ORDERS OF DISCORDIA Were planted by Greyface into his early disciples. They form the skeleton of the Aneristic Movement, which over emphasizes the Principle of Order and is antagonistic to the necessary compliment, the Principle of Disorder. The Orders are composed of persons all hung up on authority, security and control; i.e., they are blinded by the Aneristic Illusion. They do not know that they belong to Orders of Discordia. But we know.

1. The Military Order of THE KNIGHTS OF THE FIVE
SIDED TEMPLE. This lis for all of the soldiers and
bureaucrats of the world.
        2. The Political Order of THE PARTY FOR WAR ON EVIL. This is reserved for lawmakers, censors, and ~ilk.
        3. The Academic Order of THE HEMLOCK FELLOWSHIP. They commonly inhabit schools and universities, and dominate many of them.
4. The Social Order of THE CITIZENS COMMITTEE
FOR CONCERNED CITIZENS. This is mostly a grass-roots version of the more professional military, political, academic and sacred Orders.
5. The Sacred Order of THE DEFAMATION LEAGUE.
Not much is known about the D.L., but they are very ancient and quite possibly were founded by Greyface himself. It is known that they now have absolute domination over all organized churches in the world. It is also believed that they have been costuming cabbages and passing them off as human beings.

THE FOLLOWING IS QUOTED FROM BERGAN EVANS

ON NORBERT WEINER~ NUCLEAR PHYSICIST

    The second concept Wiener has to establish is that of entropy. Probability is a mathematical concept, coming from statistlcs. Entropy comes from physics. It is the assertion--established logically and experimentally--that the universe, by its nature, is "running down", moving toward a state of inert uniformity devoid of form, matter, hierarchy or differentiation.

    That is, in any given situation, less organization, more chaos, is overwhelmingly more probable than tighter organization or more order.

    The tendency for entropy to increase in isolated systems is expressed in the second law of thermodayamics--perhaps the most pessimistic and amoral formulation in all human thought.

    It applies however, to a closed system, to something that is an isolated whole, not just a part. Within such systems there may be parts, which draw their energy from the whole, that are moving at least temporarily, in the opposite direction; in them order is increasing and chaos is diminishing.

    The whirlpools that swirl in a direction opposed to the main current are called "enclaves". And one of them is life, especially human life, which in a universe moving inexorably towards chaos moves toward increased order.

Before he became a hermit, Zarathud was a young Priest, and took great delight in making fools of his opponents in front of h i s fol 1 owe rs.

One day Zarathud took his students to a pleasant pasture and there he confronted The Sacred Chao while She was contentedly grazing.

"Tell me, you dumb beast," demanded the Priest in his commanding voice, "why don't you do something worthwhile. What is your Purpose in Life, anyway?"

Munching the tasty grass, The Sacred Chao replied "MU".*

Upon hearing this, absolutely nobody was enlightened. Primarily because nobody could understand Chinese.

THE SACRED CHAO

~' w
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.

HERE FOLLOWS SOME PSYCHO-METAPHYSICS.
If you are not hot for philosophy, best just skip it.

    The Ansristic Principle is that of APPARENT ORDBR~ the Eristic Principle is that of APPARENT DISORDER. Both order and disorder are man made concepts and are artificial divisions of PURE CHAOS) which is a level deeper than is the level of distinction making.
    With our concept making apparatus called "mind'~ we look at reality through the ideas-about-reality which our cultures give us. The ideas-about-reality are mistakenly labeled "reality" and unenlightened people are forever perplexed by the fact that other peoples especially other culturesj see "reality" differently. It is only the ideas-about-reality which differ. Real (capital-T True) reality is a level deeper than is the level of concept.

    We look at the world through windows on which have been drawn grids (concepts). Different philosophies ~e different grids. A culture is a group of people


2

with rather similar grids. Through a window we view/ chaos, and relate it to the points on our grid, and thereby understand it. The ORDER is in the GRID.
That is the Aneristic Principle.
    Western philosophy is traditionally concerned with contrasting one grid with another grid, and o~nending grids in hopes of finding a perfect one that will account for all reality and will, hence, (say unenlightened westerners) be True. This is illusory; it is what we Erisians call the A~ERISTIC ILLUSION. Some grids can be more useful than others, some more beautiful than others, some more pleasant than others, etc., but none can be more True than any other.

    OISORDER is simply unrelated information viewed through some particular grid. But, like "relation", no-relation is a concept. Male, like female, is an idea about sex. To say that male-ness is "absence of female-heSS", or vice versa, is a matter of definition and metaphysically arbitrary. The artificial concept of no-relation is the EP~STIC PRINCIPLE.
    The belief that "order is true" and disorder is false or somehow wrong, is the Aneristic Illusion.
To say the same of disorder, is the ERISTIC ILLUSION.

    The point is that (little-t) truth is a matter of definition relative to the grid one is using at the moment, and that (capital-T) Truth, metaphysical reality, is irrelevant to grids entirely. Pick a grid, and through it some chaos appears ordered and some appears disordered. Pick another grid, and the same ohaos will appear differently ordered and disordered.
       Reality is the original Rorschach.

Verily~ So much for all that.

k ~e Wor~ of the Foolish and those of the Wise~
Are not far avart in l~iscordian Eyes.
rHBT; ~e Z~ook of Adviae, 2:1)


   -3-

The PODGE of the Sacred Chao is symbolized as The Golden Apple of Discordia, which represents the Eristic Principle of Disorder. The writing on it, "KALLISTI" is Greek for "TO THE PRETTIEST ONE" and refers to an old myth about The Goddess. But the Greeks had only a limited understanding of Disorder, and thought it to be a negative principle.

The Pentagon represents the Aneristic
,~                    Principle of Order and symbolizes the
                      HODGE. The Pentagon has several ref-
erences; for one, it can be taken to represent geometry, one of the earliest studies of formal order to reach elab-
                     orate development;* for another, it specifically accords with THE LAW OF FIVES.

THE TRUTH IS FIVE BUT MEN HAVE ONLY ONE NAME FOR IT.
                               Pato~unzo Lingananda
It also is the shape of the United States Military Headquarters, the Pentagon Building, a most pregnant manifestation of straightjacket order resting on a firm foundation of chaos and constantly erupting into dazzeling disorder; and this building is one of our more cherished Erisian Shrines. Also it so happens that in times of medieval magic, the pentagon was the generic symbol for werewolves, but this reference is not particularly intended and it should be noted that the Erisian Movement does not discriminate against werewolves--our membership roster is open to persons of all races, national origins and hobbies.

* The Greek geometrician PYTHAGORAS, however, was not a typical aneristic personality. He was what we call an EXPLODEO ANERISTIC and an AVATAr. We call him Archang le Pythagoras.

BRUNSWICK SHRINE

In the Los Angeles suburb of Whittier there lives a bowling alley, and within this very place, in the
Year of Our Lady of Discord 3125 (1959'), Eris revealed Herself to The Golden Apple Corps for the first time.

In honor of this Incredible Event, this Holy Place is revered as a Shrine by all Erisians. Once every five years, the Golden Apple Corps plans a Pilgrimage to Brunswick Shrine as an act of Devotion, and therein to partake of No Hot Dog Buns, and ruminate a bit about It All.

It is written that when The Corps returns to The Shrine for the fifth time five times over, then shall the world come to an end:
IMPENDING DOOM HAS ARRIVED
And Five Days Prior to This Occasion
The Apostle The Elder Malaclypse Shall Walk the Streets of Whittier Bearing a Sign for All Literates to Read thereof: "DOOM", as a Warning of Forthcoming Doom to All Men Impending. And He Shall Signal This Event by Seeking the Poor and Distributing to Them Precious MAO BUTTONS and Whittier Shall be Known as The Hegion of Thud for These Five Days.
As a public service to all mankind and civilization in general, and to us in particular, the Golden Apple Corps has concluded that planning such a Pilgrimage is sufficient and that it is prudent to
never get around to actually going.

An Illuminated Mind can see all of these, yet he does not insist that any one is really true, or that none at all is true. Stars, and pentaons, and disorder are a]] his own creations and he may do with them as he wishes. Indeed, even so the concept of number 5.

Brother Ran,

Your acute observation that ERIS spelled backwards is SIRE, and your inference to the effect that there is sexual symbolism here, have brought me to some observations of my ow~.

ERIS spelled fore-part-aft-wards is RISE. And spelled inside out is REIS, which is a unit of money, albeit Portugese-Brazilian and no longer in use. From this it may be concluded that Eris has usurped Eros Cgod of erotic love) in the eyes of those who read backwards; which obviously made Eros sorE.

Then She apparently embezzeled the Olympian Treasury and went to Brazil; whereupon She opened a chain of whorehouses (which certainly would get a rise from the male population). I figure it to be this in particular because MADAM reads the same forwards ind backwards. And further, it is a term of great respect, similar to SIRE.

And so thank you for your insight, it may well be the clue to the mystery

of just where Eris has been fucking around for 3125 years.

A POEE MYSTEREE RITE - THE SRI SYADASTIAN CHANT
Written, in some sense, by Mal-2

Unlike a song, chants are not sung but chanted.
This particular one is much enhanced by the use of a Leader to chant the Sanskrit alone, with all participants chanting the English. It also behooves one to be in a quiet frame of mind and to be sitting in a still position, perhaps The Buttercup Position. It also helps if one is absolutely zonked out of his gourd.

THE CLASSIFICATION OF SAINTS

1. SAINT SECOND CLASS

To be reserved for all human beings deserving of Sainthood. Example: St. Norton the First, Emperor of the United States and Protector of Mexico (his grave near San Francisco is an official POEE Shrine.)

THE FOLLOWING FOUR CATAGORIES ARE RESERVED FOR FICTIONAL BEINGS WHO, NOT BEING ACTUAL, ARE MORE CAPABLE OF PERFECTION.

2. L~CE SAINT

Good Saint material and definitely inspiring. Example: St. Yossarian (Catch 22, Heller)

3. LIEUTENANT SAINT

Excellent Goddess-saturated Saint.
Example: St. Quixote (Don Quixote, Cervantes)

4. BRIGADIER SAINT

Comparable to Lt/Saint but has an established following (fictional or factual).
Example: St. Bokonon (Cat's Cradle, Vonnegut)

5. FIVE STAR SAINT

The Five Apostles of Eris.

NOTE: It is an Old Erisian Tradition to never agree with each other about Saints.

Tests By Dootom Prove
It Possible To Shrink
= ON OCCULTISM =

 Magicians, especially since the Gnostic and the
 Quabala influences, have sought higher consciousness
 through the assimilation and control of universal
 oppos i tes--good/evi l, pos i ti ve/negati ve, ma 1 e/fema 1 e,
 etc. But due to the steadfast pomposity of ritual-
 ism inherited from the ancient methods of the shaman,
 occultists have been blinded to what is perhaps the
 two most important pairs of apparent or earth-plane
 opposites: ORDER/DISORDER and SERIOUS/HUMOROUS.

 Magicians, and their progeny the scientists, have
 always taken themselves and their subject in an
 orderly and sober manner, thereby disregarding an
 essential metaphysical balance. When magicians
 learn to approach philosophy as a malleable art in-
 stead of an immutable Truth, and learn to appreciate
 the absurdity of man's endeavours, then they will be
 able to persue their art with a lighter heart, and
 perhaps gain a clearer understanding of it, and
 therefore gain more effective magic. CHAOS IS ENERGY.

THE CURSE OF GREYFACE AND THE
INT~DUCTION OF NEGATIVISM
To choose order over disorder, or disorder over
order, is to accept a trip composed of both the cre-
ative and the destructive. But to choose the creative
over the destructive is an all-creative trip composed
of both order and disorder. To accomplish this, one
need only accept creative disorder along with, and
equal to, creative order, and also be willing to re-
ject destructive order as an undesirable equal to de-
structive disorder.
The Curse of Greyface included the division of
life into order/disorder as the essential positive/
negative polariV, instead of building a game found-
ation with creative/destructive as the essential
positive/negative. He has thereby caused man to en-
dure the destructive aspects of order and has prevent-
ed man from effectively participating in the creative
uses of disorder. Civilization reflects this unfor-
tunate division.

ERISIAN MAGIC RITUAL - THE TURKEY CURSE

Revealed by the Apostle Dr. Van Van Mojo as a specific counter to the evil Curse of Greyface, The TURKEY CURSE is here passed on to Erisians everywhere for their just protection.

The Turkey Curse works. It is firmly grounded on the fact that Greyface and his followers absolutely require an aneristic setting to function ~d that a timely introduction of eristic vibrations will neutralize their foundation. The Turkey Curse is designed solely to counteract negative aneristic vibes and if introduced into a neutral or positive aneristic setting (like a poet working out word rhythms) it will prove harmless, or at worst, simply annoying. It is not designed for use against negative eristic vibes, although it can be used as an eristic vehicle to introduce positive vibes into a misguided eristic setting. In this instance, it would be the responsibility of the Erisian Magician to manufacture the positive vibrations if results are to be achieved. CAUTION - all magic is powerful and requires courage and integrity on the part of the magician. This ritual, if misused, can backfire. Positive motivation is essential for self-protection.

TO PERFORM THE TURKEY CURSE:

Take a foot stance as if you were John L. Sullivan preparing for fisticuffs. Face the particular greyface you wish to short-circuit, or towards the direction of the negative aneristic vibration that you wish to neutralize. Begin waving your arms in any elaborate manner and make motions with your hands as though you were Mandrake feeling up a sexy giantess. Chant, loudly and clearly:
GOBBLE, GOBBLE, GOBBLE, GOBBLE, GOBBLE'

The results will be instantly apparent.

A PRIMER FOR ERISIAN EVANGELISTS by Lord Omam

      The SOCRATIC APPROACH is most successful when confronting the ignorant. The "socratic approach" is what you call starting an argument by asking questions. You approach the innocent and simpy ask "Did you know that God's name is ERIS, and that He is a girl?" If he should answer "Yes." then he is probably a fellow Erisian and so you can forget it. If he says "No." then quickly proceed to:
      THE BLIND ASSERTION and say "Well, He is a girl, and His name is ERIS:" Shrewedly observe if the subject is convinced. If he is, swear him into the Legion of Dynamic Discord before he changes his mind. If he does not appear convinced, then proceed to:
      THE FAITH BIT: "But you must have Faith: All is lost without Faith: I sure feel sorry for you if you don't have Faith." And then add:
      THE ARGUMENT BY FEAR and in an ominous voice ask "Do you know what happens to those who deny Goddess?" If he hesitates, don't tell him that he will surely be reincarnated as a precious Mao Button and distributed to the poor in the Region of Thud (which would be a mean thing to say), just shake your head sadly and, while wiping a tear from your eye, go to:
THE FIRST CLAUSE PLOY wherein you point to all
of the discord and confusion in the world and exclaim "Well who the hell do you think did all of this, wise guy?" If he says, "Nobody, just impersonal forces." then quickly respond with:
      THE ARGUMENT BY SEMANTICAL GYMNASTICS and say that he is absolutely right, and that those impersonal forces are female and that Her name is ERIS. If he, wonder of wonders, still remains obstinate, then finally resort to:
      THE FIGURATIVE SYMBOLISM DODGE and confide that sophisticated people like himself recognize that Eris is a Figurative Symbol for an Ineffable Metaphysical Reality and that The Erisian Movement is really more like a poem than like a science and that he is liable to be turned into a Precious Mao Button and Distributed to The Poor in The Region of Thud if he does not get hip. Then put him on your mailing list.

1SINK

A GAME

by Ala Hera, B.L., N.S.; RAYVILLE APPLE PANTHEr9

SINK is played by SU~.Lpa~os.to and people of much ilk.

PURPOSE: To sink object or an object or a thing...
in water or mud or anything you; can sink something
in.

RULES: Sinking is allowd in any manner. To date, ten pound chunks of mud were used to sink a tobacco can. It is preferable to have a pit of water or a hole to drop things in. But rivers bays - gulfs - I dare say even oceans can be used.

TURNS are taken thusly: who somevet gets the junk up and in the air first.

DUTY: It shall be the duty of all persons playing "SINK" to help find more objects to sink, once; one object is sunk.

UPON SINKING: The sinked shall yell "I sank it'." or something equally as thoughtful.

NAMING OF OBJECTS is some times desirable. The object is named by the finder of such object and whoever sinks it can say for instance, "I sunk Columbus, Ohio."

THIS IS ^ CHAIN LETTER.

WITHIN THE NEXT FIFTY-FIVE DAYS YOU WILL RECEIVE THIRTY-ELEVEN HUNDRED POUNDS OF CHAINS!
In the meantime - plant your seeds.

If a lot of people who receive this letter plant
a few seeds and a lot of people receive this letter, then a lot of seeds will get planted.
Plant you seeds.

In parks. On lots. Public flower beds. In remote places. At City Hall. Wherever. Whenever. Or start a plantation in your closet {but read up on it first for that}. For casual planting, its best to soak them in water for a day and plant in a bunch of about 5, about half an inch deep. Don't worry much about weather, they know when the weather is wrong and will try to wait for nature. Don't soak them if its wintertime. Seeds are a very hearty life form and strongly desire to grow and flourish. But some of them need people's help to get started. Plant your seeds.

Make a few copies of this letter (5 would be nice) and send them to friends of yours. Try to mail to different cities and states, even different countries. If you would rather not, then please pass this copy on to someone and perhaps they would like to.

THERE IS NO TRUTH
to the legend that if you throw away a chain letter then all sorts of catastrophic, abominable, and outrageous disasters will happen. Except, of course, from your seed's point of view.

Chapter 1, THE EPISTLE TO THE PARANOIDS
--Lord Om~

1. Ye have locked yetselves up in cages of fear--and, behold, do ye now complain that ye lack FREEDOM'.

2. Ye have cast out yet brothers for devils and now complain ye, lamenting, that ye've been left to fight alone.

3. All Chaos was once yet kingdom; verily, held ye dominion over the entire Pentaverse, but today ye wax sore afraid in dark corners, nooks, and sink holes.

4. 0 how the darknesses do crowd up, one against the other, in ye hearts'. What fear ye more that what ye have wroughten?

5. Verily, verily I say unto you, not all the Sinister Ministers of the Bavarian Illuminati, working together in multitudes, could so entwine the land with tribulation as have yer baseless warnings.

Dear Brother Ral-2,

In response to your request for uncla$sified agitprop to be inserted in the
new edition of PRINCIPIA, hope the following will be of use. And please stop bothering us with your i~cessant letters l

Episkopos Mordecai, Keeper of the Notary Sojac, info~ me that you are
        welcome to reveal that our oldest extant records show us to have been fully
        established in Atlantis, circa 18,000 B.C., under Kull, the galley slave who
        ascended to the Throne of Valusia. Revived by Pelias of Koth, circa 10,000 B.C.
        Possibly it was he vho taught the inner-teachings to Cohen of Cinmeria after
        COhen became King of Aquilonin. First brought to the western helisphere by
        Cohen and taught to Mayan priesthood (conan is Quetzlcoatl). That was 4 Ahua,
        8 Ctmhu, Mayan date. Revived by Abdul Alhazred in his infamous A1 Azif, circa
        800 A.D. (A1 Azif translated into Latin by Olaus #ormius, 1132 A.D., as The
        Necronomicon.-~-~rn 1090 A.D. was the rounding of The Ismeelian Sect (Hash--i-shim)
        by liessan i Sabbah, with secret teachings based on Alhnzred, Palins and Kull.
        Founding of the Illuminated Ones of Bavaria, by Adam #eishaupt, on May 1, 1776.
        He based it on the others. WeishaUpt brought it to the United States during
        the period that he was impersonating George Washington; and it was he vho was
        the Man in Black who gave the design for The Great Seal to Jefferson in the
        garden that night. The Illuninated tradition is now, of course, in the hands
        of The Ancient Illuminated Seers of Bavaria (A.I.S.B.), headquartered here in
        the United States.

        Our teachings are not, need I relind you. available for publication. No
        ham. though, in admitting that some of then can be found disguised in Joyce's
        FinneBar~s Wake, Burroughs Nova Ex tess the
                                                              p        ,        King James translation of The Holy
        Bible (though not the Latin or Hebrew), and The Blue Book. Not to spe~-0~
        ~e-~--~ranklin's private papers (I), but we are still supressing those.

Considering current developments--you knov the ones I speak of--it has been
       decided to reveal a few Bore of our front organizations. Your publication is
       tis~ely, so neation that in addition to the old fronts like the Masons, the Roth-
       child Banks, and the Federal Reserve System, we now have significant control of
       the Federal Bureau of Investigation (since Hoover died last year, but that is
       still secret), the Students for a Oemocratic Society, the Commnist Party USA,
       the American Anarchist Assn., the Junior Chamber of Ccdmercn, the Black Lotus
       Society, the Republican Party, the John 0illinger Died For You Society and the
       Camp Fire Girls. It is still useful to continue the sham of the Birchors that
       we are seeking vorld domination; so do not reveal that political and econoBie
       control was generally coltplate several generations ago and that we are just
       playing with the world for a ~thile until civilization advances sufficiently
       for phase five.

In fact you might still push Vennard's The Federal Reserve Hoax; '~ince
the BabylonJan Captivity there has existed a determined, behind-the-scenes
under-the-table, atheistic, satanic, anti-Christian force--worshippers of Mamon
--whose undying purpose is world control through the control of Money. July 1,
177b (correct that to May 1st, Vennard can't get anything right) the Serpent
raised its head in the under-ground secret society kno~m as The lllulninati,
rounded by Adam Weishaupt. There is considerable documentary evidence to prove
all revolutions, wars, depressions, strikes and chaos stem From this source."
Etc., etc., you know the stuff.
The general location of our US ~, incidentally, has been nearly exposed;
and so we will be moving for the first time this century (what a dragl). If you
want, you can reveal that it is located deep in the lab3rrinth of sewers beneath
Dealy Plaza in Dallas, and is presided over by The Dealy Lnlna. Inclosed are
some plans For several new potential locations. Please review and add any
comments you feel pertinent, especially regarding the Eristic propensity of
the Pentagon site.
Oh, and we have some good news for you, Brother Mall You know that Zambian
cybernetics genius who joined us? Well, he has secretly co-ordinated the FBI
computers with the Zurich System and our theoriticians are in ecstasy over the
new information coming out. Look, if you people out there can keep from blowing
yourselves up for only two more generations, then we will finally have it.
After 20,000 years, Kull's dream will be realized{ We can hardly believe it.
But the outcome is certain, given the time. Our grandchildren, Mal! If civil-
ization makes it through this crises, our grandchildren will live in a world of
authentic freedom and authentic harmony and authentic satisfaction. I hope
I'm alive to see it, Mal, success is in our grasp. Twenty thousand years .... l
Ah, I get spaced just thinking about it. Good luck on the Principia.

 NONSENSE AS SALVATION

 The human race will begin solving it's problems on
 the day that it ceases taking itself so seriously.

 To that end, POEE proposes the countergame of
 NONSENSE AS SALVATION. 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.

To this end, we propose that man develop his innate love for disorder, and play with The Goddess Eris. And know that it is a joyful play, and that thereby CAN BE REVOKED THE CURSE OF GREYFACE.

If you can master nonsense as well as you have already learned to master sense, then each will expose the other for what it is: absurdity. From that moment of illumination, a man begins to be free regardless of his surroundings. He becomes free to play order games and change them at will. He becomes free to play disorder games just for the hell of it. He becomes free to play neither or both. And as the master of his own games, he plays without fear, and therefore without frustration, and therefore with good will in his soul and love in his being.

And when men become free then mankind will be free.
May you be free of The Curse of Greyface.
May the Goddess put twinkles in your eyes.
May you have the knowledge of a sage,                      ~vA!
    and the wisdom of a child.                             m mm

  THE LAST WORD

  The foregoing document was revealed to Mal-2 by the
  Goddess Herself through many consultations with Her
  within his Pineal Gland. It is guaranteed to be
  the Word of Goddess. However, it is only fair to
  state that Goddess doesn't always say the same thing
  to each listener, and that other Episkoposes are
  sometimes told quite different things in their
  Revelations, which are also the Word of Goddess.
  Consequently, if you prefer a DiscordJan Sect other
  than POEE, then none of these Truths are binding,
  and it is a rotten shame that you have read all [k~

DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU HAVE A LOPSTDED PINEAL GLAND?

Well, probably you do have one, and it's unfortunate because lopsided Pineal Glands have perverted the Free Spirit of Man, and subverted Life into a frustrating, unhappy and hopeless mess.

Fortunately, you have before you a handbook that will show you how to discover your salvation through
RIS, THE GODDESS OF CONFUSION.
It will advise you how to balance your Pineal Gland and reach spiritual Illumination. And it will teach you how to turn your miserable mess into a beautiful, joyful, and splendid one.
