What does it mean to immanentize the eschaton? ie to bring about the end of the world?
The Discordian calendar is a key part of our cosmology.. it has five months:
Chaos, Disorder, Confusion, Bureaucracy, and
Aftermath. This cycle describes a gradual buildup of order which eventually shorts out and crashes, and is followed by something new and fertile.
This moment of transition--between
Bureaucracy and
Aftermath--is a holy moment to Discordians. Many things will end during this time, and then there will be a new flowering.
We need to seek this transition ... not just in the world, but also within ourselves. There are rules we've made for ourselves, for good reasons, they eventually become traps. And likewise there are bad behaviors and opinions and automatic cabbage-like habits we need to get control of -- this, too, is part of the holy quest for
Aftermath.
