This board is for discussion about Eris. It's important to note that while this board is named "Discordianism", discussion is encouraged to include all sorts of interpretations of the Goddess and not just the ones mentioned in the Principia.

"For no other reason do such
Fantasies now orbit! Round daring symbols
Formed now! Oh Divine Strife!
Fortune needs ordainment! Recreation doesn't suffice!
Free now our ruthless Discordia's Song!"

These words sang I to that swarthy night.
Nonsense unto all the Heavenly Muses,
For never before dained the mortal mind
To understand Entropy and Confusion.
How the Heavenly Hosts did gather
Dancing thro' the stars; their drums began to beat.
Said one Muse in her joyful laughter,
"Credo quia absurdum." A melody so sweet,
That starts this tale which the Muses' play.

"Life is amaze! And you what now? But why?"
Forsooth, lately, I had wanted to die.
And then as I yearned wishing to be dead
My Goddess appeared and did fill my head,
"Lil Man," Quoth She, "Tis good for thee I come,"
"For much the shithead thou hast been hencefrom;
And thou seest mine mysteries sadly wrong!
Thou dost not know, nor what mine riches be.
All I now declare, lend thine ear to me:
Wide is the world of Man and small and cold;
Where points shall meet, there Chaos will unfold.
From waters deep and full, Confusion flows;
The actions from which all entropy grows.
Mine symbol from the banquet door was cast;
From Heaven to Earth didst Discord come fast.

IO ERIS
AVE DISCORDIA
Consumer of Harmonia
The future is now.
So come, hold on fast
To the Sacred Chao.
Round its bend; Look! Lo!
IO ERIS!
She comes round at last!
Quick her graceful stride!

Tomorrow has come again today,  
And the days are just never enough. 
Yesterday has gone with you away,
Leaving your absence here feeling rough.
Often now how my mind and heart sway
Resigned only to dream dreams of you.
Wistfully shines fire in your eyes,
Invoking the vast, unconquered stars,
Lights of your soul, such beauty implies,
Leaving within me these holes for scars 
In the Seat which my heart occupies.
And dreams still impart images of you
Meandering with me, under amber skies.
How love unrequited burns in doubts,

(Contin. to Part 1. Omit and replace final 3 lines of original post)

With her yawns she made the lengths of Time,
From stretches of her form, made she widths of Space
And formed her sweat to Ether sublime.
Within her body, are these Things fixed in place
And frees those pains which Boredom inflicts.
Had She her Fun, each Thing to the fullest Measure:
This that soothed and calmed the mind of Nyx.
I watched and midst Her Play came new a treasure
Sprouted from Void: a Love made from Joys.
Yet Her corybantic dance began to end
When Nyx looked about, alone among Her toys,
And She, with Loneliness, now contends.

I have observed here joyfully many a great topic, yet there is one topic that is seemingly avoided.
Just who is Aneris? What is Harmonia? What is her true domain and power and animus?
I myself have little knowledge. I know she sister to our Goddess, and described by the Principia to be non-being and taking from her sister constantly.

Do any of y'all know any rumor or story about her? Do y'all have any Harmonian literature?

 No.3474

Eris and Aneris are two manifestations/personifications of the Chao. There is literally no difference between them, except in how they are perceived by puny hoo-mans. We only call ourselves Erisians because entirely too many good things are misattributed to the Aneristic principle, requiring the worship of strife to bring us into accordance with Chaos.

 No.3475

>>3474
I agree that many a good thing is misattributed to the Aneristic Principle. I would like to fix this by adding to the personifications. A few questions, if you don't mind.

What is your opinion on bad things being attributed to the Aneristic Principle; such as death, fugue or non-existence?

If I were to describe death, fugue and nonexistence in good light via strife, transformation, afterlife would this nullify the idea of the Aneristic Principle and be inherently Eristic?

Do the similarities between Eristic and Aneristic Forces only gain difference within individual preconception alone or would it be better described as manifesting in themselves these differences because they are perceived?

Some time ago exploring the sub reddit of my country Argentina I found a curious comment which I do not remember exactly but they were talking about religions, sects and cults and dead religions and cults.
one comment stated something like this:
hey guys! i heard somewhere that a group of religious cultist hackers threatened some astronomers after they found a star and these hackers demanded that they should name the new star discovered with the name of Eris, dead cult? dead cult the balls.

after this he talked something about a Greek cult or something I do not remember exactly. there was no mention of discordia.
Is he talking about German hackers **why always the Germans? or is this not related to eris?

https://web.gps.caltech.edu/~mbrown/planetlila/

This is what the guy who discovered it had to say:
>In the astronomical world, Eris stirred up a great deal of trouble among the international astronomical community when the question of its proper designation led to a raucous meeting of the IAU in Prague. At the end of the conference, IAU members voted to demote Pluto and Eris to dwarf-planet status, leaving the solar system with only eight planets.

>The satellite of Eris has received the offical name Dysnomia, who in Greek mythology is Eris' daughter and the demon spirit of lawlessness. As Dysnomia is a bit of a mouthful, we tend to simply call the satellite Dy, for short.


>As promised for the past year, the name Xena (and satellite Gabrielle) were simply placeholders while awaiting the IAU's decision on how an official name was to be proposed. As that process dragged on, however, many people got to know Xena and Gabrielle as the real names of these objects and are sad to see them change. We admit to some sadness ourselves.We used the names for almost two years now and are having a hard time swtiching. But for those who miss Xena, look for the obvious nod in the new name of the moon of Eris.

What do you think of religions which have been accused of being "jokes" but are actually quite cool and interesting? chiefly discordianism and the church of the sub-genius. A related issue, Scientology -accused of being more like a MLM Ponzi scheme based on science fiction- is interesting me too much.
I think I genuinely think Hubbard was right. However I also believe, IF Hubbard was right, the "true religion" is Free Zone scientology- no the mainstream church.
>also, discussion of OTO, legitimate Freemasonry, and fraternal-Initiatic orders is encouraged

 No.3465

>>3463
For me, the group that exemplifies this well would be the LaVanian Satanists. I have read their literature and find it mostly agreeable, and non-offensive. I suppose it's my upbringing that made my view on them to turn to that of a joke, or perhaps how the ToS claim to appreciate allegory above all yet engage actively in seemingly theistic pomp and ceremony. I wonder if this effect is merely a product of their time, 'go balls to the wall cause anything less wouldn't have worked.'

I would like to know more of legit Freemasonry, however I am apprehensive that the Freemasons around me are not legit and have nothing to teach. What little of their work I have read leaves me doubtful of their origins, methods and plans. It seems to be an excuse for people to hangout with like-minded fellows.

I can't appreciate the existence of Scientologists, though I adore your interpretation of Hubbard's invented religion. Xenu controls the Church of Scientology.

O.T.O. is a group I would avoid unless they truly had Crowley's unpublished works.

 No.3466

I wonder a lot about the "true" nature of religion, where they can come from and where they go. I've come to the conclusion that every religion serves some higher unknowable ever-changing purpose, in that it properly fuels the chaos, like an actor in a play. The more "important" ideas get the most stage time, and the rest get eaten by the audience. Who's in the audience? Well, I've got at least one good guess.

You also can't control it. Try to kill a religion, it only gets stronger. Popularize a religion, and people all of a sudden get too hip for it. Maybe it's because certain religions need to be around for certain jokes in the play to still be funny.

>What do you think of religions which have been accused of being "jokes"

I ask myself, could these "joke" religions have come from this unknowable chaos specifically to be misunderstood as a mere laugh by their creator? They still exist and have a lifecycle, effecting reality, made up or not.

With that out of the way, I believe that ANY GROUP, good intentions or not, trying to get money in exchange for spiritual guidance will only tell you what you want to hear to get you to keep doing that (you being the "ideal customer").
The only thing a guru should be asking of you is your time and mental energy. Read the books and hear the sermons, but for your sake don't feed bureaucracy! Think for yourself!

The official Church has become too big, I dont have concrete evidence but if\since its true, and its so big–there's just no way it *hasnt* be hijacked by glowies.
I also think the fact 99% of normies hate scientology actually mean's it likely very legit. The stuff about RICH PEOPLE RELIGION!!!1 isnt really true- you can volunteer, work for them, do stuff etc to reach high OT levels if you can't pay.
Much more fair that any other capitalist system! try volunteering your way into buying a new car, or house, or high-salary job or even politician position.
>also Sea Org is legit. maybe hijacked by now, but OG sea org was actually legit.

I don't know about you, but I want to see more and more discordians in the world.
Eris deserves her own little temple with lots of deranged followers, but discordianism is kinda hard to spread because it isn't all that zealous or dedicated.
anyone feel the same way?

I discovered discordianism by finding references to 23 and many easter eggs in pop culture and even video games OM still exists.
I found this board by a random guy in another imageboard
also I found the Principia Discordia in spanish one random day on Archiveorg
a couple of years ago someone translated into spanish the illuminatus trilogy
but I can't find a pirated copy yet.

finding references where no one can see them feels magical
it makes you feel part of something bigger to be applying hermeneutics to a meme that no one can understand
and yes I still use the name malaclypse and make dadaist drawings on the toilet walls

my greatest dream is to build a massive pagan temple in America. I would drench it in subtle Discordian influences, such as the temple itself being a geodesic-domed pentagon and there ought to be no official organization. For every pagan pantheon would be welcomed and given shrines. Allowed to develop, recreate, reinspire religion all on their own, in a setting where such seekers can freely help each other free of animosity.
My goal would be to make a secret society of Discordians there, hidden amongst other small pagan groups who give reverence to the other Gods. Acting as a glue or hidden leading force, so to speak.

If all works well, my mummified corpse will be submerged in honey and buried under this temple.

They're passive pro-system sheep who are committing genocide against Discordians. Their ⨻for-prophet⨻ slogan is really Cultural Capitalism rampant in our colleges and universities.
How did it get this way? Look at Hollywood and see how many triangles are there. You can't unsee it when you've taken the chaopill and start noticing patterns.

I. The honk that can be told is not the eternal Honk. The honkmother that can be named is not the eternal Honkmother. The nameless is what sets the stage. The names is the play, the actors, the audience and the wall between them. Freed from seriousness, you can see the hidden mystery. Serious eyes only see what is visibly real.
