Pricipia Discordia

By Malaclypse the Younger (Greg Hill) and Omar Khayyam Ravenhurst (Kerry Thornley). It's a mix of random drug trips, humorous religious texts as a satire of religion, and behind it all a strong, firm philosophy. To find constructive chaos and constructive order is bliss.

 

yeah dude, love the Principia Discordia. My personal favorite passage:
GP: Is there an essential meaning behind POEE?
M2: There is a Zen Story about a student who asked a Master to explain the meaning of Buddhism. The Master's reply was "Three pounds of flax."
GP: Is that the answer to my question?
M2: No, of course not. That is just illustrative. The answer to your question is FIVE TONS OF FLAX!

If you dig the Principia Discordia, you should check out the Illuminatus Trilogy. Pulling on a lot of the same philosophy and sense of humor.

 

Yeah, it's great. Another good book in a similar vein is Zen Without Zen Masters by Camden Benares. And you would probably like T.A.Z. by Hakim Bey.

 

you'd all probably enjoy Prometheus Rising by Robert Anton Wilson, the same guy who wrote the Illuminatus! trilogy.

 

"Some say he is a holy man. Others say he is a shithead."

 

)) This story appears both in the Principia and in Zen without Zen Masters.

And by the way, there is also a text called Zenarchy by that same Kerry Thornley.
