Psycologists say that there is an imaginary river that runs between the left and right hemispheres of the brain.

The idea is that both hemispheres are similar, yet are polar opposites and the river running between them carries ideas back and forth. The interesting thing about this river is that it runs both ways at once. It is my belief that the hand o Eris -><- simbolizes this two way river.

Some Occultists as well as Buddhists believe that the Pineal Gland is the 3rd eye. It's located just behind the forehead, where the 3rd eye would be. The Pineal Gland has a central location just behind the third ventricle in the brain. Because of it's central location in the synaptic gap it is not ruled by either hemisphere of the brain. THe Discordians view activating their Pineal Gland as a way of contacting Eris, a way of being enlightened. Buddhists veiw meditating upon the Pineal Gland as a way of becoming centered and thus enlightened. Maybe the Pineal Gland is the two way river between the left and right hemispheres of the brain. Buddhists and Occultists believe that to become enlightened and activate the third eye they have to be Balanced. I believe this is a balance between the right and left brain.

The Sacred Chao is much like the Yin Yang, but it simbolized order and disorder. I believe that this refers to the polarity of the right and left brain. The right brain is by it's nature disordered, creative and subjective, while the left brain is ordered, logical and objective. So the Chao not only simbolizes the balance of disorder and order, but the balance of the right and left brain, and thus is the key to enlightenment and the activation of the Pineal Gland. Sinse most people are more left brained the right brainied, as well as more ordered and logical then creative and disordered, they must need to excorsize their right hemisphere more to become enlightened. More Disorder. More Creativity. More Surrealism.
