Ah, Saint Gulik, how often have we heard of you? No saint, except for perhaps Professor Promeththem the very chimp who gave the HODGE PODGE to THE ELDER ONES, is less heard from as you are.
But that is because few Discordians, FRUtestent or Chaothilic, know the ways of communicating to St. Gulik or recieve texts from him. Few even know his holy day.
The holy day of St. Gulik is the 4th of April, or Discord 37, because he is ST. GULIK THE STONED, and gives out his holy messages in the following way:
-One must say "Holy Saint Gulik, allow me to partake of your holy herb and dig your vibes."
-One ingests the HOLY SACRAMENT
-One begins to write down whatever come to ones mind as it comes to your mind.
One must give the Holy Text a title, which comes to your head in the previous manner noted.
Sacred, Unholy, and Drab truths and messages con be found in the texts, but one must be a true Discordian, that is to say SEES THE MEANING AMONG CONFUSION.
Example:
Australia is a forgotten land, once known as the lamb of the moon for THAT was the Ether Promise Fru done did make to mankind, regardless of if we could digg it or not. That is some serious shit to deal with man, and some can't handle it, why else would they throw themselves upon the trodded ground beneath DER GOLDEN GOAT WAT ENTROPY andsimply destruct in an ill and effable manner. SEE the truth in the eyes of god, because they are simple the eyes of your own mind! Your mind man, listen to this: Your mind is your thoughts. Your thoughts are electrical charges. Electrical Charges are Energy. Energy can travel, that is to say move in spatial reality. As energy, your mind can move. You can actually move and become a wandering mind, forever immortal as energy cannot BE CREATED OR DESTROYED!!! You will simply be illuminated and be free from your body, aloowing you to bask in true forgetfullness and the DIVINE LIGHT OF DIMMED KAOS.

POW! I have no idea what you're talkin' 'bout but I award you the Horsey of Trying Really Hard. :hosrie:
Uh, yeah.
We generally go easy on teh n00bs, give them a chance to aclimate they selves to the shark infested waters round here.
So I'll do that.
It's not often that a stream of concsiousness, drug induced, diatribe is well received by many posters here. The reasons for this may become clear, if you look.
Post an intro in the relevent thread in Apple Talk, and take a look at what we're up to on more 'serious' and 'weighty' matters in the "Think for Yourself, Schmuck" and "Or Kill Me" boards.
And welcome, n00b. Welcome...
Ooh, a real live Pinealist. It's been a while since we've had one of those (aside from Ratatosk) Welcome, and try to keep the incoherence to a minimum.
Actually, and I don't know why, but I don't find this annoying like I might have suspected I would. And I think it's because the conviction is there. It isn't a half-assed attempt.
But I need to chew on it further.
"Some is truth, some is crap. Both mean the same thing, and are as subjective as the world around you. that is to say the thing we call reality."
I rather like this bit.
Has anyone had a go at "automatic writing" as described? Crowley reportedly had some weird successes with the technique - all I've ever come up with is gibberish.
Yeah, I've done it a few times, but I'm not sure if anything of any great import came out of it.
Yeah, my friend and I once wrote an entire tract of stoned ramblings. It made for some good in jokes between us, but nothing else.
(To this day, I only have to mention Hitlers Pie Cutter, or the secret layer of "Atmo-Grass" to have him in stitches...)
Welcome aboard, Yacatismic!
I enjoyed your post. St. Gulik has always been one of the most mysterious Discordian figures to me. I like the notion of connecting Gulik's Sacrament with freewriting, and then trying to find truth in whatever mess one spills out. Very Burroughs.
I used to do a lot of automatic writing. And though I think it's possible to find great personal meaning in it, it's also important (as you say) to recognize that even great personal truths are crap nonsense. But Bullshit makes the flowers grow and all that.
Also, I giggled openly at the word "Chaothilic". :p
Nice work!
Well, I would say that overall I was recieved well. Very good for a first post! I thank you all for taking the time to read my post and I look forward to digging my own niche on the forums!

Yeah. Likewise. All my stoned/drunken ramblings are hidden away from prying eyes of the world, because OH SWEET JESUS...
I'd be more okay with the original post if we could just sort of shave out the stoner stuff. Because honestly, couldn't the world as a whole move past the idea of "pot is the gift of the gods, stoned = super deep, etc"?

Just make sure you call ahead to verify you are in a "dig safe" area. :fnord:

I don't think like that. Its just...well he
IS Saint Gulik the Stoned.
Because he is a roach after all.
I guess Praying Mantis would've limited the possibilities for nyuks and double entendres.
And then he would have been eaten by a female of the species.
What a bitch.

I agree. It was a fully-assed attempt.
I am withholding judgement until such time as whenever I feel like it.

Potheads make lousy saints.
We make good Doktors though.
'less of course we have to operate. Then the being stoned makes it hard to not slip and take the wrong organ.

Better not let RWHN catch you moving in on his turf.
He's been known to kill a motherfucker.
S'alright. My team of lawyers will be in touch. You better phone up Johnnie Cochrane.
