Stare right into
the light, and your eyes will be blinded
The Discordia
that can be emulated is not the true Discordia
Even I need to be reminded of this every once in a while ... this is when the Invisible Pink Unicorn comes in handy. Never forget, Eris is as true as Yhwh and her teachings are as good as those of Jesus of Nazareth and as evil as those of the devil. But then, you already knew all that. Kato was the Inspector
Clouseau's servant. Clouseau had instructed him to attack when most unexpected
in order to continually keep his reflexes alert. Kato can spring from everywhere,
from science books, from comics, from the bible, from the Sears catalogue,
from your mom, a stranger or from a cow - Mu! If you pay attention to what
the Katos can teach you, lies or truth, you will become more akin to what
you can learn, lies or truth. Every once in a while, we all need our own
Kato in order to prevent us to fall prey to the illusion that we are starting
to get it. There are some who get it, there are some who don't.
My Kato is the Invisible Pink Unicorn, she flashes in front of my eyes everytime a teaching tries to sneak by on the periphery of my consciousness - uninvited and unexpected . You could think of a Kato, as the opposite of a FNORD, whatever this might be. Other people just boringly call them quotes or aphorisms. How rude! |

If my poetry aims to achieve anything, it's to deliver people from the
limited ways in which they see and feel. »

| «Concepts that have proven
useful in ordering things easily achieve such an authority over us that
we forget their earthly origins and accept them as unalterable givens.
Thus they come to be stamped as «necessities of thought», «a
priori givens,» etc... »
- Pope Albert Einstein, aka Kitten Natividad on the week-ends «The man who, when his
actions go wrong, begins to play about with moral distinctions in order
to put them right, cannot find the way back.»
«GOOGOO: It is like the
trembling air on summer evenings. The sun. But it does not tremble. Nothing.
Nothing whatever. One simply ceases. The wind blows, but one is no longer
cold. It rains, one is no longer wet. Jokes happen, one does not laugh.
One’s body rots, one does not have to wait. General Strike.
«All our human problems, with
their intolerable sufferings, arise from man's ceaseless attempts to make
this material world into a man-made reality … aiming to achieve on earth
a “perfection” which is only to be found in the beyond … thereby hopelessly
confusing the values of both spheres.»
«I've only myself to blame; I should have gone with them while there was still time. Now it's too late! Now I am a monster, just a monster. Now I'll never become …, never, never! I'm gone past changing. I want to, I really do, but I can't, I just can't. I can't stand the sight of me. I'm too ashamed! I'm so ugly! People who try to hang on to their individuality always come to a bad end! Oh well, too bad! I'll take on
the whole of them! I'll put up a fight against the lot of them! I'm the
last man left, and I'm staying that way until the end. I'm not capitulating!»
«I was naïve. I was looking for myself and asking everyone except myself questions which I, and only I, could answer. It took me a long time and much painful boomeranging of my expectations to achieve a realization everyone else appears to have been born with : That I am nobody but myself. … “Read it,” my grandfather said.
“out loud!”
«There will be more calamities,
more death, more despair. Not the slightest indication of a change anywhere
… We must get into step, a lockstep toward the prison of death. There is
no escape. The weather will not change.»
«… whatever begins in freedom
cannot end in necessity.»
«It's impossible for words
to describe what is necessary to those who do not know what horror means.»
«No evil man thinks of
himself as being evil. He thinks he is doing the right thing.»
«Before earth and sea and
heaven were created, all things wore one aspect, to which we gice the name
of chaos – a confused and shapeless mass, nothing, but dead weight, in
which, however, slumbered the seeds of things.»
« Security is the essential
roadblock to achieving the road map to peace »
«The consequences of acquiring
knowledge are always incalculable and seldom beneficial.»
«The universe is not hostile,
nor yet is it friendly. It is simply indifferent.»
«A scoundrel’s worst fear
is a society without money : for in such a society he would get the respect
he deserves.»

«I've seen the needle and the damage done. A little part of it in everyone.» - Neil Young ... click here to get it. «Those who can make you believe absurdities can
make you commit atrocities.»
«We came here voluntarily to redeem this " prison
world " and reunite it with the Divine.»
«Loneliness is the tax we pay to nature for being
conscious enough to know our own mortality.»
«That is, in fact, a fancy-dress ball and not
reality! You can`t get out of your costumes!»
« ... ay, there's the rub»
«A ding ding ding ding dididing ding bing bing
pscht,
«… nothing seems to be able to resist life’s
diabolic drift toward structures that enclose and limit. What starts out
as a liberating vision risks mutating into an ideological force for preserving
status quo … The difference between idea and ideology, practice and technique,
community and institution is blurred and organic. The former slide imperceptibly
into the latter.»
«... there is a forever unbridgeable gap between
what's true and what can be proved.»
«A catma is a relative meta-belief, while a dogma
is an absolute, unshakeable, unchangeable belief. Catmas make up the whole
of the Discordianist belief system.»
«... man does not create...he discovers.»
«I know there is a lesson to be learned here
somewhere, but I don't know what it is.»
«Enlightenment was always disillusionment in
the positive sense»
«Imagination is the one weapon in the war against
reality.»
«And my light-stream, when it had taken away
the lights from the emanations of Self-willed, which they had taken away
from Pistis Sofia, poured them into Pistis Sofia, and turned itself about
and went up out of the chaos.»

«I don’t see why we should have to stand by and let a country go Communist due to the irresponsability of its own people» - Henry Kissinger «Maybe the future
was blank because he was scared to let himself hope.
«Quoth the raven, "Nevermore."» «God gave Noah the
rainbow sign,
«To see your life
is a story while you’re in the middle of living it may be a help to living
it well.»
«I have been born
in the middle of a grand opera but we bleed real blood here.»
