This review is from: Principia Discordia (Paperback)
These numinous scriptures come close to rivaling James Robinson's edition of the Nag Hammadi Library as the most important contribution to 20th century metaphysics.
Certain passages inspire more than others, like The Enlightenment Of Zarathud and Lord Omar's Epistle To The Paranoids of which only the orthodox version appears here. According to the Samaritan Codex (jealously guarded by an extreme Discordianist cult) and the Octuagint, an additional verse completes the Epistle: "Ye erect tall buildings, only to cast yerselves from the rooves." The same Codex - but not the Octuagint - also contains The Epistle To The Neurotics by St. Euthanasius which regrettably didn't make it into this edition. For nearly 3000 years scholars have been debating its authenticity. It ought to have been added as an appendix. A welcome improvement over earlier editions is the inclusion of the variant of verse 4 of the Epistle To The Paranoids from the Codex Sinaiticus: "O how the darknesses do crowd up, one against the other, in ye hearts! What fear ye more than [not "that"] what ye have wroughten?" Despite the omissions, the familiar exegeses of the thoughts of Eris, Greek goddess of Chaos, by Malaclypse & Omar continue to illuminate, enlighten and comfort millions. If you appreciate these insights, you will love the work of Robert Anton Wilson.
