I never herd that before, but I really like it. I'm gonna start using that as the answer when someone asks me the question of our time, "What is Discordianism?"
Pretty sure the CoS is to Scientology as Satanism is to Christianity.

To me, Discordianism is one big collection of "koans," while "Slack" is analogous to the "Tao."
All things are true in some sense, false in some sense, etc etc ad nauseum.
"Every statement contains falsehood" - Douglas Fairbanks
Hmm, I know I've often seen discordianism described as "Zen for roundeyes"
Charles Manson might as well have been describing discordianism when he said "No sense, makes sense."
And as far as scientology goes... I'm still waiting for the punchline. The corpse of L. Ron to reanimate long enough to make a speech to all of his followers and just say, "FOOLED YA! SUCKERS!"
and I know not much stock is put into the PD, oddly enough, but this statement has always stuck with me.
Quote
"All things are true"
'Even false things?'
"Even false things are true"
'How can that be?'
"I don't know man, I didn't do it."
There's a lotta good stuff in the PD but that part is basically just something acid does to you.
the inverse of "All things are true" is your average case of solipsism, and since we know from our investigations that everything equals its opposite, the statement "All things are true" is synonymous with the statement "I only exist inasmuch as you insist that I must exist," which is probably a reference to Taoism, but the relationship is a strained one. If they are not already divorced by time and culture, Discordianism has surely filed a restraining order against Taoism, and there's probably a child custody case on the horizon, too.
Comparing Discordianism to Zen, on the other hand, is like comparing a coffee mug to a travel mug.

I don't know. My views on acid always involved some level of what I THINK I am correct in describing as Microcosmic and Macrocosmic...
the idea that each and every atom that exists in every single thing is it's own universe identical to this one and that our universe is also a single atom in another part of another identical universe, and so on... That everything that happens is happening infinitely in scales both large and small and that all events that happen repeat themselves as the universes expand to their outermost limitations, and then collapse, and then begin expanding again. That we've all done this before, and we'll do it all again.
that was MY major acid experience... most of the rest was just giggly shit and watching my hand make trails across the sky and shit of that nature...
Lucky yuo I had fucking yahweh to contend with.
Aint easy to not believe in a deity when he's sitting on the end of your bed in a grubby raincoat.
I feel that PD was just borrowed a whole lot of things from practically every popular religions for its time, that being of christianty, Taoism, Zen, Hindu, hell, theres even elements of scientology in there.
Actually, the way I see things, CoS is an organised church, it's very comparable to christiainity and well, most types of "western" religion. (IE for profit, relies on ordained priests for people to pay attention to to "learn" something)
PD is very much more Tao based, "We must stick apart" shows this, "The highest authority is in the peniel gland" "think for yourself", Tao works with or without a "master" to teach, for masters have a habit of discoverning themselves, if they are lucky. There is no profit involved, unless you choose to flesh out elements of it in order to make a profit. The knowledge that the PD shares is supposed to be self-apparent, The knowledge that CoS shares is really just the thoughts of one man, spreading a virul meme throughout the masses.
I just find it funny though, because at the end of the day, PD and CoS are not in compitition, that is to say, there is no deep hate between each of us discos and bobbies, more like a mutual "hey lets make fun of the other fake religion" prodding going on.
Whereas, most western religions would like you to believe that theirs is the only true and real faith to follow, and will lead you to damnation if you don't follow it. our faiths say that we got the answers, if you don't believe us, we'll just laugh at you till you come around or die.
Actually, really, disregard most of what I just said.
At the end of the day, all religions are manisfestations of the Tao, but most people probably just don't get this.
"Tao" in itself is a placeholder for a concept that cannot really be named or described, for in doing so, you have already broken it down from its true shapeless form.
"Tao can be talked about, but not the Eternal Tao,
Names can be named, but no tthe eternal name
As the origin of heaven-and-earth, it is nameless:
As the mother of all things, it is nameable,
So, as ever hidden, we should look look at its inner essence:
As always manifest, we should look at its outer aspects.
These two flow from the same source, though differently named;
And both are called mysteries.
The mystery of mysteries is the door of all essence"
There are many way of looking at the world, you can choose to follow a belief system that promises you a "end goal" if you follow it properly, or you can choose to follow a belief system that's only goal is that of experiencing the journey itself, without regard to the "goal".
This is why I consider myself a discordian. No one has to tell me what it is or what to do to be a "Good" discordian, I just have some suspicions and I follow my whims.
I have friends who are sub-genii, and are really cool, we get along fine, but I personally feel I don't need to pay someone $30 just to get slack, but I'm not opposed to anyone who does, I've seen what you get for that $30 and it ain't bad really, but I can live without it.
But even when they pay their $30, some of them are still trying to figure out what slack is.

discordianism is neat, but it seem like Subgenius kicked it up a few notches
especially from a barstool perspective
self respect is a major part of Subgenius - it seems to be the definitive blend of eastern thought combined with western motivation

I *understand* what your saying, but I found that Discordianism has notched up my self respect, I'm a very confident person, didn't always used to be, in fact I had a very big lack of self respect till I discovered the Disco.
But where as Sub-genius methods are more direct in this, you basically pay for your self-respect, and if it doesn't work you blame the church, discordianism makes you find your courage for yourself, understand the world, for yourself, you only have yourself to blame if you cannot find and see it.
It's sorta like the difference between the direct route and the scenic route, I think.
Really, at the end of the day, whatever you think works best for you.
Actually, it might be a good idea to just look at all forms of weirdo worship and see which avatar seems to bring out your inner strength the most.

To me, Taoism always made the most sense to as a spiritual philosophy. That is, because it accepts that things are already as they should be. A lot of other religions and whatnot always claim that our natural state is somehow flawed and needs correction (e.g. Original Sin in Christianity). But with Taoism, no one is trying to argue with nature.
Something like that.
But it also implies extreme passivity and Fatalism.

You say that like you think it's a bad thing :mrgreen:
But, I think Taoism is a little more optimistic than that description, although I could be wrong.

BING! :mittens:
I don't want to knock too much on Taoism, though. Its ideas of balance and flow are pretty cool, and I really like the writing style of the Tao te Ching.
passivity and fatalism... yes. but isn't the idea that by balancing and flowing you can avoid the situations that you'd need to be non-passive? as for fatalism, any philosophy or religion that denies that has its head up its ass -- control over your situation is almost always an illusion, regardless of how much shining jewelry and/or subservient females you dominate.
Didn't we already have the Free Will discussion?
Quote from: LMNO on March 28, 2007, 01:16:27 PM

What does?
there's always a tendency to take these arguments to the extreme.
i admit i know pretty much jack-shit about the Tao. but iirc from my previous lifetimes, it has something to do with the "here and now" as opposed to some mythical idea like "some other time." which (i think) means that control over your situation is an illusion -- not because there is something else controlling what you do or where you are, but because the point is not to engineer your reality but your perception and your attitude.
so when you're in the middle of a shitstorm you don't have a bunch of "that fucker did this to me" or, even worse, some unbearably emo moment. you only have that you are there.
this post is trying to stay on topic but is apparently blindfolded and heading directly off-road.
I've read more zen than I have tao and I'm more of a zen fan although there does seem to be a lot of crossover. Reason I like zen is it focusses on the lulz. Enlightenment is almost always accompanied by laughter and all the scriptures are thinly veiled mindfuck one liners.

yes, I don't think "wei wu-wei" or "action through non-action" necesarily means being passive all the time. Instead, when you do things, you should finish your task, but then not dwell on it. Also, they say you aren't supposed to desire, but rather be content. So if you are truly content and accept the world, then you have nothing to desire and you won't have to engage in superfluous action.

Reffering to the yielding and inaction part of it. And I agree with LMNO, I really like the Tao Teh Ching, but some of it is just not good enough for me.
See, I think each of us interprets the tao differently. In fact, the very fact that were talking about it most likely shows that we haven't really grasped it, but we like to think we do. Oh the irony in trying to explain the Tao.
I don't know about the whole "passivity" thing, I mean, the Art of War is based on the Tao, that sure ain't hell about being passive to the enemy.
And the whole fatalism thing, I don't know where in the Tao it implies being fatalistic. I've never felt myself to be more in control of my destiny then since discovering Tao.

Yeah, it's a decent read, there are heaps of versions on the internet, I personally have a copy translated by John C. H. Wu, not one of my favourate translations though.
I'm not going to give you a "recommendation" as to which translator to get, they all see the Tao in their own way, due to it's ambigious nature as well, it translates slightly differently depending on the translator. None of them are neccessarily wrong, but sometimes I have to wonder if certain translations are really what the Lao Tsu had in mind if he were to ever translate it to english.
I say, go read a few different versions, it's not a long read, its like 81 chapters, each chapter a page long, not even that actually, you could read it in about an hour, max.

hm then what are we, on this board?
cause we don't really fit any of these descriptions.
probably gonna be called "neodiscordians" in a decade or so
(either that, or be completely forgotten)
We are the collection of "whatever it is we are" who happen to have a taste in the teachings of discordianism, I suppose?
Of course, I just massively simplified a very complex set of concepts into a sentence, so resemblance to reality may be slight.
When I read the word Neo-Discordians I immediately thought of the 1950s version of the future - you know, art deco, cars with fins, ray guns, sun glasses, etc. Everything works on atomic power and radar. We should start that cabal. It'll be out of this world!
