       THE SACRED CHAO
                                                                         MUST
       THE SACRED CHAO (pronounced "the sacred cow") is the key to 
       illumination.  Devised by the Apostle Hung Mung in ancient China, it 
       was modified and popularized by the Taoists and is sometimes called 
       the YIN-YANG.  The Sacred Chao is not the yin-yang of the Taoists.  It 
       is the HODGE-PODGE of the Erisians.  And, instead of a Podge spot on 
       the Hodge side, it has a PENTAGON which symbolizes the ANERISTIC 
       PRINCIPLE, and instead of a Hodge spot on the Podge side, it depicts 
       the GOLDEN APPLE OF DISCORDIA to symbolize the ERISTIC PRINCIPLE.
       
           The Sacred Chao symbolizes absolutely everything anyone need every 
       know about absolutely anything, and more!  It even symbolizes 
       everything not worth knowing, depicted by the empty space surrounding 
       the Hodge-Podge.
       
       HERE FOLLOWS SOME PSYCHO-METAPHYSICS.
       If you are not hot for philosophy, best just skip it.
       
           The Aneristic Principle is that of APPARENT ORDER; the Eristic 
       Principle is that of APPARENT DISORDER.  Both order and disorder are 
       man-made *concepts* and are artificial divisions of PURE CHAOS, which 
       is a level deeper than is the level of distinction-making.
       
           With our concept-making apparatus called *mind* we look at reality 
       through the ideas-about-reality which our cultures give us.  The 
       ideas-about-reality are mistakenly labeled "reality" and unenlightened 
       people are forever perplexed by the fact that other people, especially 
       other cultures, see "reality" differently.  It is only the ideas-
       about-reality which differ.  Real (capital-T True) reality is a level 
       deeper than is the level of concept.
       
           We look at the world through windows on which have been drawn 
       grids (*concepts*).  Different philosophies use different grids.  A 
       culture is a group of people
