| + | ====== The E-Jing-A-Ling Thing ====== | ||
| + | |||
| + | The I-Ching (pronounced E-Jeang) is an ancient Chinese system that is not unlike the western Tarot. Sticks or coins are thrown and they Mean Something. | ||
| + | |||
| + | For the E-Jing-A-Ling Thing, we took the I-Ching and created Discordian answers that had some similarity to the Chinese meanings (albeit, in some cases it is a stretch, but the Goddess TOLD us to do it). | ||
| + | |||
| + | If you don't know how to use sticks, simply think of a question you would like to ask the E-Jing-A-Ling Thing and flip a coin six times, recording Yang {{full.gif|}} for each " | ||
| + | |||
| + | There are 4 sections that should be studied and meditated upon for each throwing. The hexagram itself, the name of the hexagram, the quote or image that applies to that name, and our explanation of the hexagram' | ||
| + | |||
| + | We thought about creating a system that uses Pentagrams instead of Hexagrams (for obvious reasons), but figured we would duplicate and feed off of the old chinese sage's wisdom first. When we feel up to it, we may create another E-Jing-A-Ling that relies on Pentagrams. | ||

| + | ^ ::: | This hexagram represents beginnings. It has historically been read as a bad sign, but this is because the ancient Chinese did not understand the positive aspect of chaos. During times of growth, everything is in motion and struggling to attain form - creating a chaotic maelstrom of potential growth and inspiration. Revel in the chaos and use it to further your own ends. | | ||

| + | ^ ::: | This is the only hexagram displayed here that was not in the I-Ching. We felt it was important to add a hexagram in case a stick or coin ends up on its edge. This Hexagram stands for uncertainty in the quantum reality. The authors of this sacred tome recommend that if you get this hexagram you either poison a cat or don't in a box where no one can see it to divine the correct path to take. Under no circumstances should you record the results of this experiment, or even try to discover for yourself the results of this experiment, since that will drastically change its outcome, and there will be a 50% chance that you will therefore be reading the results of the experiment incorrectly. | ||

| + | ^ ::: | //GOD spelled backwards is DOG, but BOB spelled backwards is still BOB!// | ||
| + | ^ ::: | This hexagram indicates youthful folly - and therefore implies a temporariness that can be overcome. Be conscious of your inexperience and seek out a teacher. The teacher does not have to be a person, as long as it teaches discipline. Remember, discipline is not drill. Discipline itself is a very useful tool, while drill is an Aneristic waste of time. The first thing that comes to mind is the self-effacement practised by Drake in the Illuminatus! Trilogy. One might also, if the previous example is too labor-intensive for your tastes, study the works of Mr. Crowley, especially Diary of a Drug Fiend, keeping in mind, of course, that the man was mentally deranged. | ||

| + | ^ ::: | //ST. TIBS DAY - occurs once every 4 years (1+4=5) and is inserted between the 59th and 60th days of the Season of Chaos.// | ||
| + | ^ ::: | This hexagram points to waiting patiently, as one must do for St Tibs Day. Luckily, it also suggests that one should eat, drink and be merry while you are waiting in order to fortify your body. This isn't pointless waiting - there is a goal - but one should not be impatient to reach it. So in other words, this hexagram suggests that one should just chill out and party. This is Prince Mu-Chao' | ||

| + | ^ ::: | //It seems that Zeus was preparing a wedding banquet for Peleus and Thetis and did not want to invite Eris because of Her reputation as a trouble maker.\\ \\ This made Eris angry, and so She fashioned an apple of pure gold and inscribed upon it KALLISTI (To The Prettiest One) and on the day of the fete She rolled it into the banquet hall and then left to be alone and joyously partake of a hot dog.\\ \\ Now, three of the invited goddesses, Athena, Hera, and Aphrodite, each immediately claimed it to belong to herself because of the inscription. And they started fighting, and they started throwing punch all over the place and everything.\\ \\ Finally Zeus calmed things down and declared that an arbitrator must be selected, which was a reasonable suggestion, and all agreed. He sent them to a shepherd of Troy, whose name was Paris because his mother had had a lot of gaul and had married a Frenchman; but each of the sneaky goddesses tried to outwit the others by going early and offering a bribe to Paris.\\ \\ Athena offered him Heroic War Victories, Hera offered him Great Wealth, and Aphrodite offered him the Most Beautiful Woman on Earth. Being a healthy young Trojan lad, Paris promptly accepted Aphrodites bribe and she got the apple and he got screwed.\\ \\ As she had promised, she maneuvered earthly happenings so that Paris could have Helen (the Helen) then living with her husband Menelaus, King of Sparta. Anyway, everyone knows that the Trojan War followed when Sparta demanded their Queen back and that the Trojan War is said to be The First War among men.\\ \\ And so we suffer because of the Original Snub. And so a Discordian is to partake of No Hot Dog Buns.\\ \\ Do you believe that?// | ||
| + | ^ ::: | This hexagram represents conflict and opposition, and suggests that there will be considerable force applied against you. It also suggests that, like Eris did in the case of the party, one should use cunning to overcome the opposition. Discordians are usually pretty apt at cunning, since it takes much cunning to merely survive as a Discordian in today' | ||

| + | ^ ::: | The Sacred Chao and this hexagram represent union of chaos and order. Balance is achieved and everything is holding together. Since human nature implies that the balance will not last, the authors suggest that one take advantage of the harmony while it is there, and stop reading this stupid shit for now. | | ||

| + | ^ ::: | This hexagram represents ones social conduct and physical bearing. The original I Ching was drawn along Confucian lines, and was therefore very conservative about this hexagram. As should be seen from the title, the E-Jing-A-Ling Thing takes a different view of the meaning of this hexagram. The point of the original was to move from inferior to superior position by tempering ones conduct and bearing, but the E-jing recommends methods that resemble the turkey curse in order to gain the upper hand. | | ||
| + | ^ {{: | ||
| + | ^ ::: | //Find peace with a contented chao.// | ||
| + | ^ ::: | This hexagram states that perfect harmony is achieved and signifies the end to feuds. Prosperity is implied. It should be stressed that perfect balance is ALREADY achieved, so one should bear with imperfect people at this time. Strong Eristic Vibes at this time would be detrimental to the contentment of the chao. | | ||
| + | ^ {{eristokratie: | ||
| + | ^ ::: | //"Are ye a cabbage or something?"// | ||
| + | ^ ::: | This hexagram symbolizes stagnation, decline, and decay. Get your shit together and move, in any direction. Creative Chaos is desperately lacking and should be introduced to the situation immediately. | ||
| + | ^ {{eristokratie: | ||
| + | ^ ::: | // | ||
| + | ^ ::: | This hexagram represents fellowship in all of its forms. This is best represented in Discordian terms by the Cabal or a network of Cabals - thus Abnormail, which fosters fellowship within the ranks of Discordia. This is not always a positive thing, for sometimes fellowship drowns the individual and should be tempered to avoid becoming "just another cog". All in all, though, fellowship is a good thing and looser associations that enable the sharing of concepts and ideas should now be encouraged. | ||

| + | ^ ::: | //Copyright Is Reversed. Reprint What You Like.// | ||
| + | ^ ::: | This hexagram stands for possession on a grand scale through unselfish modesty, and is therefore represented perfectly by the Discordian tendency to reverse the copyright on their creations. The hexagram represents private property becoming public property, and I'm afraid that means we are damn communists. Or socialists. Or at least Marxists. Of course, it could mean that we are not any of those things, we're just not greedy capitalists, | ||

The fact that there are obstacles may seem to some to indicate that this is a negative hexagram, but what fun would an obstacle-free life be (imagine a video game where you don't have any obstacles)? It is important to focus on battling through the obstacles as opposed to the obstacles themselves. | ||

And from that, he deluded honest men to believe that reality was a straitjacket affair and not the happy romance as men had known it.\\ It is not presently understood why men were so gullible at that particular time, for absolutely no one thought to observe all the disorder around them and conclude just the opposite. But anyway, Greyface and his followers took the game of playing at life more seriously than they took life itself and were known even to destroy other living beings whose ways of life differed from their own.\\ The unfortunate result of this is that mankind has since been suffering from a psychological and spiritual imbalance.

| + | ^ ::: | This hexagram refers to limitations and the need to limit (or destroy completely) limitations. Break barriers and strive to move the sticks forward and prevent stagnation or a situation that binds with rules. In the case of Mornington Crescent, we choose an example where limitations imposed can be broken fairly easily and without much thought at all. | | ||

| + | ^ ::: | This hexagram stands for inner truth and innate confidence in yourself and your abilities. If you feel confidence is something you are lacking, the hexagram suggests it is to be found in inner truth (and, hence, in the pineal gland). | ||

The only salvagable aspect about this hexagram is that if all is order, there are many, many oppertunities for an enterprising Discordian to have loads of fun trying to bring about Hexagram 64. | | ||

| + | ^ ::: | This hexagram stands for order changing into chaos. Every Discordian strives for such a time - even though we know in our head that we need to find the Contented Chao, we know in our hearts that we have had enough order for our lifetime and are ready to see the pendulum swing the other way, even for a brief moment. But let's be honest. If the world was chaos for any length of time, and everyone else ascribed to it as religiously as they now do to order, what would we do? | | ||
