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.

What is enlightenment?

Bhuddists tell us of a universal sens eof inner peace and well being.

Fundamentalist Christians speak of the rapture when the chosen few are transported to heaven.

Satanists break out the recreational pharmaceuticals and kick start the party.

People of a more Nordic attitude wait for the shit to hit the fan and the war to start.

But what does it mean? Forget the far-reaching plans for a moment, forget the great work, forget everything just for a moment of reflection.

When this great and noble endaevour has been completed, when eyes have been opened, sheep converted to wolves and the packs run wild and free. When society as we know it has crumbled to half-remembered dust and the monolithic systems that rule our lives have been brought down, what then?

What happens when the soldiers have nothing left to fight for? When the thinkers have seen their thoughts turn to reality? When all we have strived for has come to pass, what then?

What are we actualy fighting for?

For each of us it's a different answer, for each of us it's a different road to this ideal.

Take a moment in each day to reflect upon this, drop your plans, forget your ideas. Just step away and consider what you are doing and why.

Never lose sight of your goal lest your ideals be forgotten, lest the struggle becomes the reason for struggle.

As long as you keep that goal in sight, as long as you realise with every breath and every thought why you do what you do, what you seek, then this enlightenment in whatever form it may take will never be far away.

Some of you are no longer content to sit and talk, some of you are no longer able to stand idly by. For some of you a rallying call has gone out and you feel compelled to make your stand and cry out in defiance.

So always keep sight of where you want to go, never lose that which you seek in the pursuit of that goal.
