"I tell you: One must still have Chaos in One to give Birth to a Dancing Star!"
-NIETZSCHE
The Revelation
At some time in the sixties, two young Californians, known later
as Omar Ravenhurst and Malaclypse the Younger, were indulging
in their habit of sipping coffee at an allnight bowling alley
and generally solving the world's problems. Suddenly, time halted,
except for them. A flash of light revealed a chimpanzee,
shaggy and grey about the muzzle. He spoke of the Confusion in
all the world and how somebody had to put it all here. Then, he
showed them a scroll on which was drawn a diagram, like a
yin-yang symbol with a pentagon on one side and an apple on the other.
The chimpanzee vanished and the two lost consciousness.
In the following days, they searched libraries to find the
significance of the chimpanzee's diagram. It was not until
they traced the Greek writings on the Apple that they discovered
the ancient Goddess known to the Greeks as ERIS and to the Romans
as DISCORDIA. This was on the fifth night, and when they slept that
night, each had a vivid dream of a splendid woman who spoke in
a warm and gentle voice:
"I have come to tell you that you are free.
Many ages ago, My consciousness left man, that he might
develop himself. I return to find this development approaching
completion, but hindered by fear and by misunderstanding.
You have built for yourselves psychic suits of armor, and
clad in them, your vision is restricted, your movements are
clumsy and painful, your skin is bruised, and your spirit
is broiled in the sun.
I am chaos. I am the substance from which your artists and
scientists build rhythms. I am the spirit with which your
children and clowns laugh in happy anarchy. I am chaos.
I am alive, and I tell you that you are free."
THE PRINCIPIA DISCORDIA
Hail Eris! All Hail Discordia!! *Kallisti*
