The Multi-Folds Paths are a myriad ways to deal (or no deal) with meaninglessness. They are convoluted ramblings and shenanigans about ethical and mental confusion with the goal of freeing the individual from attachments, delusions and ideologies. They sometimes inadvertently lead to understanding the truth about somethings sometimes, sometimes they lead you back to where you started, sometimes they bring you straight to the loo, with no paper. Together with the Pentabarf, the Good Laws, the Five Overblown Truths, The Five Discordian Trainings, the Five Wiki-Commandments, The Pineal Code, other Discordian Te Chings, suggestions from Eris Kallisti Discordia, along with the Invisible Pink Unicorn’s Creed and other Ungraspables Ramblings they constitute the very shallow beginnings of the Immanentizers of the Grenzsituationen’s unique contributions to Discordianism too often plagiarized by themselves and no others. No emphasis is put on any one aspect because it is mostly through diversity that one can experience the most and finally come to accept to live meaningfully in a meaningless universe – or is that meaninglessly and a meaningful universe? The innumerable aspects of the paths are not to be understood, instead they are highly independent principles that have to be experienced in relationship with each other – sometimes even in contradiction. And yes, there are more than five. There are always other doors.

Here are just a few of the mult folds paths exemplified:
 

1. Serendipity / Gambling

2. Choice / Thelema

3. Guilt / Tantra

4. Death / Grenzsituationeering

5. Humor / Discordianism or Politics

6. Operation Mindfuck / Surrealism Warfare

7. Tantra / Sessual

Serendipity is a beginning and an end to a path. It simply means to see and to understand things as they really are and to realize the Five Discordian Overblown Truths. As such, serendipity is one random aspect of knowledge. It means to get things by what appears to be sheer luck. Do not attempt to get it, just grasp to the impermanent and imperfect nature of worldly objects and ideas and understand the law of karmamama. Serendipity is an imminent and immanent capacity, just as knowledge is just a matter of facts. Serendipity is never attained, sustained, or enhanced through any capacity of mind but merely purely coincidentally out of chance. It begins with the intuitive insight that all beings are subject to meaninglessness and it ends with complete understanding that one cannot begin to fathom an understanding of the true nature of anything. Since our view of the world were formed through our thoughts and our actions, serendipity allows us to examine other views of the world which are even beyond our imagination by exposing us to things, situations, individuals we would never have exposed ourselves to.

Gambling is a form of playing with serendipity but never forget – Gambling only pays when you’re winning.

Tantra is a sexy body of beliefs and practices which works from the principle that the universe we experience is nothing other than the concrete manifestation of meaningless random meaninglessness and which seeks to ritually appropriate and channel rightfully acquired energies in creative and emancipatory ways. Tantra refers to the volitional aspect of wisdom, i.e. the kind of mental energy that controls our actions. Tantra occurs when one does wrong for fear that misunderstanding would have lead right to be wrong and therefore by doing wrong one is actually doing right while meaning to do right by doing wrong intentionally. Ain’t that neat. Basically, it is how you can rationalize anything as being the right thing as long as you admit of having no idea of what is wronf and what is right. It can be described best as commitment to ethical and mental self-improvement by agreeing to act beyond any form of ethical and mental model. There are five forms of tantric tantalization: (1) renunciation of doing anything, which means that since it is not possible to distinguish what is wrong from what is right you will to do nothing hoping to avoid deciding to do the wrong – in turns these leads to avoiding doing the right thing which is a wrong thing to do; (2) intention of good will, meaning resistance to feelings of anger and aversion, the most effective means of avoiding anger and aversion being to destroy anything that might anger you and of proactively maiming all that might be turn out aversive to you before it gets a chance to be; (3) intention of harmlessness, meaning not to think or act cruelly, violently, or aggressively, and to develop compassion which implies that you always have tea and cookies ready for any company coming to visit, even the IRS; (4) ritualization, this corresponds to performing ritual acts from any form of magick or religious order in the hope that may have it right. This corresponds to dealing Pascal’s wager in thinking that if the christian God exists (in Pascal’s case), one has more to loose by not abiding his command than one has to gain by being free. Of course, this wager breaks down when one realises that no one can truly be aware of the true nature of God and that one, with all best intentions in the world, may still be abiding rituals that the God in question abhors and as such one damns oneself by seeking salvation; (5) Pinealization, if your pineal gland tells you to do it, just run with it.

Choice involves the body as natural means of expression, as it refers to deeds that involve bodily actions. Unwholesome actions lead to unsound states of mind while wholesome actions lead to sound states of mind. Again, the principle is explained in terms of action: choice means 1. to act as a living sentient sapient being, especially to act in taking and embracing life; 2. to taking what is given freely, which includes samples in grocery stores, compliments from strangers or loved ones, pennies left on the ground, and limited time offers; and 3. frequent sexual conduct. Positively formulated, choice means to act, to do rather than to think, to be. Further details regarding the concrete meaning of choice can be found in the Wiki commandments, by consulting your pineal gland or your loved ones’ genitalia. Choice is good but then choice is baneful since we are all just puppets of the Bavarian Illuminati’s plot from world domination. At the rate it’s going, maybe it is just as well if the Illuminati gets the world and we satisfy ourselves with the run out. After all, the world is such a cesspool full of rats and that the run out will be fertile ground and flowers which does not sound all that bad. Resistance is fertile while futility is futile.
