The Short Duration Personal Savior
From the
Sacred Pamphlet:
The
SubGenius knows,
BullDada -istically, that each human should do Jehovah's work exactly as He reveals it to them, and that He has wildly varying messages for different people in different situations. By the same token, it is madness to accept any one 'personal savior' - even Dobbs - as a permanent guide. The greatest of the inventions of the
SubGenius is the
SHORT DURATION PERSONAL SAVIOR, or "
Shordurpersav." The True
SubGenius accepts into his heart, as his own personal savior, anyone or anything with which he happens to be impressed at the moment. Shordurpersavs change from hour to hour, whim to whim. It could be the hero of a show you just saw, the author of a filthy book, a bottle of Thunderbird, a good pal, a car, a dog, a sex object, a friendly croaker who scripts for you. Not professional gurus you are locked into believing, but temporary ones according to the need of the "Now. " They change so fast that it never gets embarrassing, you aren't inclined to 'proselytize' them off on disinterested others who will later laugh at you; you know their effects will wear off in minutes (even though the very idea is unthinkable while under the Influence). One needs not mention them at all - a superb Tenet, since one is sometimes deeply ashamed of oneself for having a particularly unsavory Shordurpersav: some few can be Personal Saviors and False Prophets at the same time.
The concept of BullDada shows us that The Con "teaches" (brainwashes) us into accepting Their values. They tell you what is important, and what is not.. what is "cultured", and what is not. This extends to the ultimate invasion of your mind and soul: telling you what Savior to worship!!!
Why should You accept Their saviors? The True Yeti knows that saviors can only save you if they are deeply personally meaningful, and that we have the ability to decide what is important to us!
Don't let Them pull the wool over your eyes by selling you prepackaged saviors. The true SubGenius knows that you can pull the wool over your own eyes and turn anyone and anything into your own Short Duration Personal Savior!
