Did she wink at you? She's got a wicked sense of humor :)
 Quoting: Joule Thief


I think she's been winking at me for a while,
just never took notice of her role,
Until last night;)
 Quoting: Le Palma


I feel like I was created to notice her, odd as that seems. Very misunderstood, Eris, but that's understandable since even the ancients noted there were "two types of Eris" one that no one loves and one that's loveable once she's understood, not villainous at all, but the motive behind discovery and expansion. The strife that pushes us to move and learn and create. Another tidbit... the word Eris in Latin means "you will be", but she's translated as Discordia... I find that meaningful, but as in all things, your mileage may vary, lol :)
 Quoting: Joule Thief


Ah, thanks Angels, that was nice...
Bea, i was going to say, I know
she's always been associated with
'Discord', but Isn't it through
discord that we Gain ACCORD,
or Concord, and agreement?
or maybe she is all about
THE CORD Itself?
we are detached from the cord
at birth from the watery comfortable
womb, and cast into direct CHaos
of the World so that we may be
Re-attached to the Universal Womb.
(umbilical cord, silver cord (uncle mikey
did a slide with that, sort of like
An Attachment to Something Greater,
by Dis-attachment to all else, a
greater ACCord and Agreement through
Discord, just some thoughts, i've never
really studied Eris.)
 Quoting: Le Palma


YES! I've always seen it as a two faced situation. Like in music, harmony relies on occasional discord. Now understand, I have an affinity with Eris, but it's not worship. In my heart, I feel there's but one creator who doesn't require worship or adulation, just acknowledgment for creating all this. So when I say Goddess, it doesn't mean I worship her... but I do understand her. It's all about order and disorder. There's creative order and disorder and destructive order and disorder, that's Chaos, the sum of all parts.

In order to come to concord, accord, one must first wade through the discord to find what's true, false and meaningless. Some things are all three at the same time, lol! If we all agreed all the time we'd never learn, we teach each other first through arguing about it, then finding common ground. That's what I feel Eris brings to the table... "you will be" in accord once you talk it out, find what's meaningful/meaningless in the true and the false.

Have you read the Principa Discordia? There's several updates, too. I'll dig up some links later... the Discordian philosophy is interesting in that it deals with negatives in order to dissolve them, just what you said, dealing with discord to come to an accord.
