RhoDeo 1144 Illuminatus !

Hello, hope you've had an enjoyable weekend, sportsnews of the day or is it ? Vettel cruises to victory again, after being snubbed he was lucky to win last years title he really made a point of establishing his reign this year. Arsenal fans were over the moon as their god, Robin van Persie, led in the destruction of their rivals Chelsea, way to go meanwhile another dutch victory as they trashed the US in the world bridge finals, teamplayers those dutch. Maybe not so strange then that Maharishi Mahesh Yogi choose the Netherlands as the location for his Transcendental Meditation worldheadquarters.

Trance isn't that the music where dutch dj's reign ? Could it be the relaxed attitude towards mindexpanding drugs is causing all of this ? Surely not, it's the abundance of cheap (healthy) food, believe it or not this small spec on the world map is the biggest foodexporter in the world. All this proves that all that GM propaganda is bullshit, it's the dismal productivity in large parts of the world that is to blame for hunger, f.i. if Africa would just double it's low productivity it would not only be able to feed it's own peoples, but become a main exporter aswell. In turn the worlds biodiversity and lungs (rainforests) could be spared from the wanton destruction that is going on at the moment.

We're nearing the end of the Illuminatus saga. Today the first chapters of the Leviathan the third and final part of the Illuminatus Trilogy with the start of the 9th trip, Yesod chapters 0 till 2

The three parts of the trilogy are subdivided into five "books" named after the five seasons of the Discordian calendar (Chaos, Discord, Confusion, Bureaucracy, The Aftermath). This book is not designed to be easy to digest. You are not meant to internalize its message thoughtlessly. It's funny, contradictory, and self-aware, and it's hard for people who take themselves seriously to get caught up in a book that, for the most part, doesn't. I could say this book deserves to be more than a cult classic, its cultural influence will continue to seep in with or without grander acclaim.

The plot meanders between the thoughts, hallucinations and inner voices (both real and imagined) of its many characters, as well as through time (past, present and future)— sometimes in mid-sentence. Much of the back story is explained via dialogue between characters, who recount unreliable, often mutually contradictory, versions of their supposed histories. There are even parts in the book in which the narrative reviews and jokingly deconstructs the work itself.

The Illuminatus ! Trilogy was performed by the incomparable Ken Campbell and Chris Fairbank, and broadcast live in London on ResonanceFM in June 2006. In 1976, Ken Campbell adapted Illuminatus! for the stage - a 10 hour epic which went on to open the Royal National Theatre in London under the patronage of Her Majesty Elizabeth II. Chris Fairbank played Simon Moon, among other characters. 30 years and 23 Fernando Poos since Ken and Chris first breathed life into Shea and Wilson's masterpiece and Illuminatus! seems even more startlingly relevant and chock full of laughter than ever before. Enjoy the Trips!
