Kallisti all !


Aye, tis the day of the partakeing in the eating of Hot Dogs, but least yay forget, no buns allowed.

I believe the beloved Aurellia has already made statements thus concerning Bethlehem falling under the CoZ's responsibilities, I suggest we allow them to worry about its upkeep, though mind you, thats merely my opinion.

This day as will every other friday from hence forth, begin my series of teachings and abstract thoughts on our beloved Eris and her ways of Discordianism. So with no further delay, feast on this my young Episkopos.

The Law of Fives is summarized in the Principia Discordia:

The Law of Fives states simply that:
All things happen in fives, or are divisible by or are multiples of five, or are somehow directly or indirectly appropriate to 5
The Law of Fives is never wrong.
Malaclypse the Younger, Principia Discordia, Page 00016

Like most of Discordianism, the Law of Fives appears on the surface to be either some sort of weird joke, or bizarre supernaturalism; but under this, it may help clarify the Discordian view of how the human mind works; Lord Omar is quoted later on the same page as having written, I find the Law of Fives to be more and more manifest the harder I look.

Another way of looking at the Law of Fives is as a symbol for the observation of reality changing that which is being observed in the observers mind. Just as how when one looks for fives in reality, one finds them, so will one find conspiracies, ways to determine when the apocalypse will come, and so on and so forth when one decides to look for them. It cannot be wrong, because it proves itself reflexively when looked at through this lens.

At its basic level, the Law of Fives is a practical demonstration that perception is intent-sensitive; that is, the percipients intentions inform the perception. To whatever extent one considers that perception is identical with reality, then, it has the corollary that reality is intent-sensitive.
