The Law of Fives is one of the oldest Erisian Mysteries.
It was first revealed to Good Lord Omar and is one of the great contributions to come from The Hidden Temple of The Happy Jesus.
POEE subscribes to the Law of Fives of Omar's sect.
And POEE also recognizes the holy 23 (2+3=5) that is incorporated by Episkopos Dr. Mordecai Malignatus, KNS, into his Discordian sect, The Ancient Illuminated Seers of Bavaria.
The Law of Fives states simply that:
ALL THINGS HAPPEN IN FIVES, OR ARE DIVISIBLE BY OR ARE MULTIPLES
OF FIVE, OR ARE SOMEHOW DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY APPROPRIATE TO 5.
The Law of Fives is never wrong.
In the Erisian Archives is an old memo from Omar to Mal-2:
“I find the Law of Fives to be more and more manifest the harder I look.”
THE EVOLUTION OF THE FIVE SPIRITUAL AGES OF MAN
ANIMISM...The very earliest human belief system. All things are inhabited by spirits. The Shaman is the conduit to the realm of Spirituality. The belief system of early hunter-gatherer societies. Still shown by certain aboriginal tribes
POLYTHEISM...Adopted by early agricultural societies. Many gods and goddess rule different aspects of reality. Beginning of Paganism. Had it's nadir in Greco-Roman times
MONOTHEISM... Began with the ancient Jews, continued with the Christian and Moslems, and came into power with the fall of Rome. Belief in ONE GOD who is separate from reality but sits in judgement of all. Rule by powerful priests and feudal kings.
ATHEISM...Beginning in the Age of Reason (1500-1959). There is no God, and the universe is deterministic and mechanical. Belief in Science and Technology. The rise and fall of communism and Fascism. The rise of the Industrial Revolution.
PANTHEISM...Began in the Information Age (1900-?) The Belief that “God(dess)” is “all things”. The Rise of computers, the Internet, chaos theory, quantum physics, space travel, Discordianism.
Each progression is hindered by rigid belief in the superiority of the step that you happen to be in at the time. Only when we realize that each step is as important as the last, then we will reach true spiritual evolution, and be one with ERIS
THE 5 STEPS TO DIVINITY
1: REALIZATION - Before one can truly be divine one must REALIZE that YOU are, and that WE are all divine.
2: UNDERSTANDING - Once REALIZATION has taken place, one must UNDERSTAND what it means to be DIVINE. To answer that one must look long and hard within.
3: WILLPOWER - After UNDERSTANDING one must have the WILLPOWER to do what is necessary to achieve ones DIVINITY.
4: IMAGINATION - Maybe more important than WILLPOWER. IMAGINATION is what gives us that spark of DIVINITY in the first place.
5: WISDOM - The most important aspect of them all. WISDOM is what guides us in using our DIVINITY properly. It also dictates when to use it. With WISDOM there is LOVE, and that is what truly makes us DIVINE.
