in reference to the topic i started in the PD section -- http://www.principiadiscordia.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=313404#313404
-- here is some more food for thought
most if not all systems of 'belief' or knowledge have a central text or scripture that is referred to by those who follow the system
all of these scriptures follow the same format
1 - a detail of 'history' and how things came into being
2 - a series of suggestions of how to approach 'life'
3 - a suggestion of what the future has in store
the only differences between the books are
1 - the amount of detail
2 - the metaphors used
3 - the tone used by those who assembled the literature
all books are maps
all these maps represent the same place
what we are witnessing here is that some maps are better than others
and will help you better navigate the territory
but
the best approach is to take as many maps into account as possible
add on if you have any insights
