Ommiterre Libellus - Principia Discordia

have four extremely strong men playing tug of war and that a perfect balance occurs between the forces.
You have a stand still, the ultimate Aneristic condition. Then, if an anemic handicapped midget decides to
pull on one side, the equilibrium will be broken. In a state of perfect equilibrium, the frailest thing can be
the balance of power if it is the only thing that is unique on one side of the balance and not on the other -
the Hidden Variable - the fifth force - the Eristic unbalanced energy. Balance is extremely difficult to
obtain and to maintain, the most stable equilibrium only requires one single grain of sand out of place to
fall apart. So as light transmutes into matter more rapidly in one direction rather than in another, a mere
imbalance of a grain of sand in one direction will create a pull strong enough to move the whole Universe
in this direction. Thus, the ultimate reference point of the centre of the Universe moves pulled by the
attraction of a mere grain of sand.
7 Why is this any bother to anyone? If the whole Universe is moving, then it might as well be that
nothing is moving since by definition everything moves relatively to everything else. This latter statement
is true only if the Universe is a closed system and whether it truly encompasses eveything. This is not the
case. All Discordians know that there are five planes of existence, Thud, Afterlife, Beforelife, Limbo, &
Pre-Illusion. The Universe as we know it, is Thud. "Things" exist outside the Universe. The Universe is
not a closed system which encompasses everything.
8 As light transmutes into matter at varying rate in all direction, the force of gravity sets the Universe in
movement, the Universe moves at a speed slower than the speed of light. If the Universe moves left at a
speed slower than the speed of light and a ray of light moves right at the speed of light, eventually the
light will expend so much energy as to transmute into matter - let us say for the sake of example, into a
grain of sand. If this light travelled very far and long before transmuting, it will have reached such a
distance to the centre of the Universe as to appear to be "outside the Universe". The ray of light travelled
the maximum distance light could travel before it transmutes, so it is impossible for "anything", even
light, to reach the point in space where that grain of sand is anymore. For all intent and purposes, this
grain of sand is outside the Universe, yet it still exists and it still is linked to the rest of the Universe by its
force of gravity. Being the "thing" that is the furthest away from the centre of the Universe, this grain of
sand has the weakest resultant force of gravity, but the strongest lever effect. It is strong enough to change
the course of the whole Universe. The Universe bends in its course and is pulled towards that grain of
sand. As this happens, the equilibrium changes, this grain of sand is no longer the furthest, some other
grain of sand becomes the weakest force. As the Universe moves, it leaves behind itself a trail of light, as
this trail of light transmutes and becomes matter, its force of gravity pulls back on the Universe bending
its course. The Universe, gets pulled in a mostly donut-shaped course, a torus. Like a Worm Ourobouros
or a dog chasing its tail. The Universe as we may know it is this sphere of energy in motion of which all
points are accessible by light - at the present time. 9 The whole of Thud is bigger than the Universe. It
not only includes where the Universe is, but also all points where the Universe could be - at some time or
another. Thud is this portion of everything where it is possible for things to exist. As in the word of
Discordian Aristotle.
