Yeah, I think you mean "DŪMB".

That's the one.

here's some updates of previous entries. The Changes are underlined and in red.

Malaclypse the Elder (Mal-1):
One of the Five Apostles of Eris Patron of the season of aftermath and prophet of DŪMB (Pronounced "Doom"). Many have speculated on whether or not his prophecies have yet been fulfilled, positing that perhaps J.R."BOB" Dobbs, or perhaps George W. Bush may be/have been the instrument of the DÜMB which he foretold.



Eris K. Discordia: The Cosmic principle of discord and chaos. Ancient Greco-Roman goddess of non-military conflict. She is, however, credited with indirectly starting the Trojan War after the other Godesses called upon a mortal prince to settle an argument that Discordia had started with regard to which goddess was the prettiest.
   Although primarily a deity of non military conflicts, she did briefly do a stint as the Roman goddess of war during a period when Mars/Ares was going through some stuff and had decided that he was going to give up war and become a farmer or something. During this time period she reinvented herself as the war goddess Bellona, and her first name was Enyo.
   She is credited by her followers, the Discordians, as the creator of the human race, due (in part) to the fact that, as the goddess of non-military conflict, she presides over the process of natural selection (although there are most likely many of her followers who would argue that at least one part of this assertation is incorrect, as is their way). She is also followed due to her ability to shake things up and "stick it to the man" and other such things.
   Her numbers are 5 and 23   


P.S. The line about Ares "going through some stuff" and deciding to "Become a farmer or something" refers to the fact that Mars was originally an agricultural deity before he was identified with the Greek god Ares. The end of the line saying that Eris "reinvented herself as the war goddess Bellona and her first name was Enyo" is a pun on the old Oscar Meyer jingle beginning "my balogna has a first name....."
Praise NHGH! For the tribulation of all sentient beings.

It is an unfortunate fact that every man who seeks to disseminate knowledge must contend not only against ignorance itself, but against false instruction as well.

Look, asshole:  Your 'incomprehensible' act, your word-salad, your pinealism...It BORES ME.  I've been incomprehensible for so long, I TEACH IT TO MBA CANDIDATES.  So if you simply MUST talk about your pineal gland or happy children dancing in the wildflowers, go talk to Roger, because he digs that kind of shit

Sri Syadasti: One of the five apostles of Discordia and the patron of the season of chaos. He represents the simultaneous truth and falsehood that can be shown of all things .   His full name is SRI SYADASTI SYADAVAKTAVYA SYADASTI SYANNASTI SYADASTI CAVAKTAVYASCA SYADASTI SYANNASTI SYADAVATAVYASCA SYADASTI SYANNASTI SYADAVAKTAVYASCA, which designates "All affirmations are true in some sense, false in some sense, meaningless in some sense, true and false in some sense, true and meaningless in some sense, false and meaningless in some sense, and true and false and meaningless in some sense."
   In this manner, he also, in addition to representing confusion, also represents, contradiction, rationalization, as embodied by the sacred syllable "Splunge", which designates that something "May be a good idea, but possibly not, and I'm not being indecisive"
   The idea that all things are true can also be said to be symbolic/representative of the "Many Worlds" interpretation of waveform collapse in Quantum Mechanics. In the Many Worlds theory, it is held that whenever an non−deterministic subatomic reaction could be resolved in more than one way, the universe effectively "Splits" into several parallel universes, one for each possible outcome; In other words, going back to a famous thought experiment, there would be one  universe wherein Schrodinger's cat lives, and another, equally real, universe in which it dies, and also two  experimenters, also both equally real (although unaware of, and unable to interact with, each other). The offshoot of this is that anything that could happen/have happened in the realm of strict physical possibility, is true somewhern. Additionally, there is a similar, though even further reaching theory in some frameworks of superstring theory, in which the universe could have potentially formed with different values for physical constants, and some of these theories imply that these constants could actually change to alternate sets of internally consistent values within the current universe under certain very rare conditions...uh...where was I...um...well...anyway, I digress
   Syadasti's simultaneous truth/falsehood also represents the imperfect nature of human language, and , yea, even in many cases human thought, under which it is possible, witrh sufficient verbal gymnastics, to show anything to be either true or false, In some sense, mainly by taking things as being metaphorical, by differing definitions of truth and falsehood ("no, it wasn't correct, but he thought that it was correct, so he wasn't really lying, now was he"), and other such things.
   On a related note, syadasti also embodies the so−called "Liar's Paradox", the statement "This statement is false", which is true if it is false, and false if it is ture, and thus is true and false at the same time, and thus, arguably, meaningless.
   His day is may thirty−first.
   He is somehao also a counterpart to Blessed St.Gulik the Stoned (who is a mystical cockroach who shares the title of Discordian Apostle of Confusion)

The Bleeding Head of Arnold Palmer: A mysterious antediluvian creator god of the Church of the SubGenius. Satan's attempts to clone it supposedly resulted in the creation of the mortal golfing pro Arnold Palmer. It is said that it is worshipped because it is not worthy of worship (and , in this sense, represents bulldada).
   Its idol is "launched", using the Sacreed 9−Iron, by the Doktors for "BOB" during their anti-music performance ceremonies

Loki: The ancient Norse god of mean-spirited pranks. After he tricked the god Hoder into killing his brother Baldr as a joke, the gods imprisoned him deep inside a cave under a poisonous snake which perpetually dripped its venom onto his wounds (although Loki's wife was allowed to stay with him and help him keep the venom off. It is said that when Loki escapes his bonds the time of the Gods will come to an end.
   He is also considered by the Church of the SubGenius to be somehao analogous to the malevolent trickster spirit NHGH (cf. the Revelation X prescriptures: "And this shall be until the twins come, but each is only half of the split god, the X−god, which is Loki and NHGH, who while split is insane, and t5hus meddles on this/thine earthly plane to thine irritation, which soothes me and serves me")

Hung Mung: Discordian apostle and patron of the season of chaos. His day is January fifth. It is said that it is he who originally devised the Sacred Chao, basing it on the omnipresent "Yin−Yang" symbol seen so often in the mysticism of his native China.
   As the apostle of chaos, Hung Mung has been arrested frequently for disorderly conduct, setting off fireworks in crowded public buildings, and various other crazy things*.



*Oh, and also, the last time he went back to China he set a bunch of policemen on fire as part of a protest. :lulz:

Sanakrit "BOB" mantra #1*
"ashraddadhaanaaH ashnaami asheshhataH ashlaaghya ashuchau avichaarii ashubha Abhodhisattva J.R."BOB"Dobbs, aghaayuH atidurvRitta akaarya, akalmashhaM  akasmaat.h achintyaM, akarmakRit.h, akarmaNi, ajaanataa adambhitvaM, ajaanataa adrohaH, [ajaanataa aparigraha], atattvaarthavat.h, achetasaH, [anyaayena]. Anagha aghaayuH atidurvRitta akaarya anusmara anukampaarthaM anuyaayinaH /apamaanayoh anyaan.h aparaspara"

(Translation: "(Those Who are faithless) (accept) (completely) (virtuless) (unclean) (thoughtless) (and inauspicious) (Heroic minded one for ignorance) (J.R."BOB"Dobbs), (whose life is full of sins) (of extremely bad conduct) (and forbidden activities), (freed from all past sinful reactions) (by chance) (beyond contemplation), (without doing something), (in not doing prescribed duites), (without knowing) (humility), (without knowing) (freedom from Envy), [(without knowing) (freedom from possessiveness/greed)], (without knowledge of reality), (without Krishna Consciousness), [(illegally)]. (O sinless one) (whose life is full of sins) (of extremely bad conduct) (and forbidden activities) (go on remembering) (to show special mercy) [to] [your] (followers)   /(and dishonor) (others) (without cause)")

Please note that probably none of this is conjugated correctly

P.S. By the way. If any of you know of an alias of "BOB" Dobbs that begins with the letter "A" which I can replace his name with in this mantra, so that all of the words start with the "a" sound, that would be great.

Tinfoilment

solary magic creates a shadow

yantra, tantra, mantra
draw sigil on ground, stand in a yoga pose, recite a formula


similar to the traditional Turkey Curse  :kingmeh:

Tinfoilment

ᮇᚏᮏᮖᚈᮅᚖᮝᚍᮠᮋᚊᮼᚅᮔᮎᚅᮘᮖᚌᮃᚇ

Tinfoilment

also about mantras, something about one-syllable words ending in a vowel. 

One syllable words are for intonation without trying too much pronounciation.  The vowel at the end is so an individual can hold the note for a long time, trail off, and zone out. 

a Hare Krishna mantra being a permutation of words. 
"hare krishna , krishna hare , krishna krishna , hare hare"  01 10 11 00


Adapted to Discordianism, both Eris and Discord as words do not end in vowels with this mantra scheme.  Therefore more one-syllable words ending in vowels , two syllable words with both syllables endings in vowels , are required as materials for creating new mantras.

Quote from: Prelate Diogenes Shandor on June 13, 2009, 08:46:56 PMHe is somehao also a counterpart to Blessed St.Gulik the Stoned (who is a mystical cockroach who shares the title of Discordian Apostle of Confusion)
It says in the Principia "NOTE: Sri Syadasti should not be confused with Blessed St. Gulik the Stoned, who is not the same person but is the same Apostle" and I'm wondering how this relationship works metaphysically. It specifies not the same person meaning they are divided flesh wise, so is it similar to Jesus, Yahweh, and the Holy Ghost where they're all merely facets of the actual "God"? Is St. Gulik an extension of Sri Syadasti's will or is it vice versa? Or did our sweet holy Lady of Chaos give them both the same title to adhere to the Rule of 5? Maybe St. Gulik begged Eris for the title of Apostle after being her little messenger and she gave Sri's title to him either out of pity or wanting to fuck with the two of them. Do they like each other? Much to consider.

I don't know ... could this conundrum possibly be something we Discordians are supposed to accept on faith?

I ask, because just writing the words "Discordians" and "faith" in the same sentence seems sacrilegious, or something.
