MEANWHILE, at the Chinese laundromat... | |
DOGMA I - METAPHYSICS #2, "COSMOLOGY"* | |
THE BOOK OF THE UTERUS | |
from The Honest Book of Truth | |
revealed to Lord Omar | |
-I- | |
1. Before the beginning was the Nonexistent Chao, balanced in | |
Oblivion by the Perfect Counterpushpull of the Hodge and the Podge. | |
2. Whereupon, by an Act of Happenstance, the Hodge began | |
gradually to overpower the Podge - and the Primal Chaos thereby came | |
to be. | |
3. So in the beginning was the Primal Chaos, balanced on the Edge | |
of Oblivion by the Perfect Counterpushpull of the Podge and the Hodge. | |
4. Whereupon, by the Law of Negative Reversal,** the Podge | |
swiftly underpowered the Hodge and Everything broke loose. | |
5. And therein emerged the Active Force of Discord, the Subtle | |
Manifestation of the Nonexistent Chao, to guide Everything along the | |
Path back to Oblivion - that it might not become lost among Precepts | |
of Order to the Region of Thud. | |
6. Forasmuch as it was Active, the Force of Discord entered the | |
State of Confusion, wherein It copulated with the Queen and begat | |
ERIS, Our Lady of Discord and Gross Manifestation of the Nonexistent | |
Chao. | |
7. And under Eris Confusion became established, and was hence | |
called Bureaucracy; while over Bureaucracy Eris became established, | |
and was hence called Discordia. | |
8. By the by it came to pass that the Establishment of | |
Bureaucracy perished in a paper shortage. | |
9. Thus it was, in accord with the Law of Laws. | |
