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.

it's also a heap of steaming shit in some places. but i still recommend it, it's got one of the most clear explanations of the 8-circuit model of consciousness i've read so far.

Quick question, are the books Prometheus Rising and Cosmic Trigger worthwhile to read?  I ask because I already have a list of books I want/have to read and I would rather not add more to it for no good reason.

Yes, and yes.

If you want to know how Mr. Spock connects with the Illuminati, or be able to find quarters on the street, yes.

Learning how to find quarters was useful. Especially when modified into learning how to find 5€ bills.

I'm in the middle of the quarter exercise, and I'm thinking it might boost my chances if I widen the scope to include nickels and dimes.

In my experience it decreased the effectiveness. I've come to consider the Quarter exercise as a 'pattern matching' exercise... that is, if we concentrate on pattern X regularly, our brains seem more likely pick up on that pattern when its noticed. Adding lots of patterns, in my case at least, seemed to dilute the experience.

I wouldn't rely on the quarter experiment for teh monies. I got lucky because I was on OSU campus a lot and apparently students have holes in their pockets. If you're not in an area where people drop quarters... I will be very surprised and somewhat excited if you find lots ;-)
