TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

Yeah, at the very least, we have a refuge to come to where we know, generally, that other people get where we are coming from.  Because it can be very frustrating when you are surrounded, on a daily basis, who have NO clue as to where you are coming from.

The Machine is what tells you to buy that shiny thing that everyone else is buying for Xmas. 

The Machine is what compels you to settle, and not feel bad about it.

The Machine is that cold, clammy feeling you get on a regular basis.

The Machine is what tells you to scrimp and save for when you are 80 years old and bed ridden.

The Machine is what tells you to pop pills so you don't have to think about it anymore. 
Cynicism is a blank check for failure.

The Machine™ wants you to have a drink after a long day at work.

So do I.

In fact, I prefer a drink before a long hard day.  Or any time I am required to perform for the public (public being defined as everyone from random passerbys up to the legal system)

The Machine doesn't give a fuck, as long as you are working and drinking as much as you can, and more, it doesn't mind.

It's a loving metaphorical entity.

thought is a ocean, a thought thats defined as "mine" or "yours" is the construct and manifestation of the machine.

Could you go further with the idea that a thought is an ocean?  I'm not picking up on the metaphor.

It sounds like he's going for the "we are all part of one consciousness" type thing.
