As Satan would say. "Curious. Very Curious."
What confused me about the discordians at first was more or less the fact that they are beings of light and love but they still would be rude to you.
its like saying: "Hey I love you, but I'm going to be rude as hell to you. Because i love you."
it didn't make sense to me at first.
but i discovered discordianism first.
and then the Ra material....
After absorbing the Ra material it just started to make sense to me.
That is just the wiki definition.
To me it is simply holding conflicting ideas simultaneously with the motivational drives of both both ideas running together. I largely relate to it because i have taken up the discordian tradition of saying something in which no way do i resonate to, or put my passion into but while at the same time i may speak for it, or write for it, and to you and what im saying I may seem honest. I may seem true. I may seem like the legitimate real deal in support of what i am saying. Although while in the reality of my heart there is no place for what i am saying there. But i wouldn't be saying it to help myself. I'd be saying it simply, to help you.
So now that you know this how can you be sure that anything I post on this forum is the real me? I'll leave that up to you to decide.

(from wiki)Cognitive dissonance is an uncomfortable feeling caused by holding conflicting ideas simultaneously. The theory of cognitive dissonance proposes that people have a motivational drive to reduce dissonance. They do this by changing their attitudes, beliefs, and actions.[2] Dissonance is also reduced by justifying, blaming, and denying. It is one of the most influential and extensively studied theories in social psychology. A closely related term, cognitive disequilibrium, was coined by Jean Piaget to refer to the experience of a discrepancy between something new and something already known or believed.
Or it can be done in much comfortable manner. But of course, one has to take the method that resonates.
