On June 19, 2004,
Peter Kuku-Sama Cunningham and Michel Deboef Dubois were empowered by
Bernie the BoobySattva as Dummy Holders of OD for the United States and
Europe, respectively.
Once upon a time
in a not so far away place, Bernie was found OD by Kuku-Sama and
Mr. YooWho. This took place on November 11, 1999. Shortly thereafter,
Kuku-Sama become the OD Kuku
and Mr. YooWho became the Elder of
OD in an installation of secret rites and wrongs.
At the conclusion of the 1999 Auschwitz Bearing Witness
Retreat, during the final dinner and Shabby celebration, several other
members of the Peacemaker Community were installed as OD Peacemakers by
the Found OD and the Elder of OD.

OD SUTRA
There is no danger here
that Nothing will be done,
for if it can be done
it already has been done,
or it just is and needs no doing!
But in our case,
forgetting what has been done,
that is the crux of This,
the anti-matter, the pointless point.
PRECEPTS OF THE ORDER OF DISORDER
Da three treasures
Disorder
Humor
Love
Da three tenants
Not even not knowing (forget about it!)
Just wait
Belly Laughter
The Ten Guidelesslines
Don't kill anything by taking it seriously
Don't steal anything unless you can get away with it (and you can't).
Don't worry about promiscuity; no one would look at you twice.
Don't lie by pretending to know anything.
Forget about intoxicants, you are already a mess
Laugh at yourself at least as often as you laugh at others.
If someone makes a fool of themselves, pay your respects and join in the fun.
If you can, smile. If possible, giggle. Whenever there is a chance laugh with all your might.
Have fun.
Don't laugh at Bernie, Yoowho, or Kuku Samu ... unless they ask.
FOUR VOWS
Creations are numberless, I vow to count them.
Delusions are inexhaustible, as if you hadn't noticed.
Reality is boundless, and so are parts of Long Island.
The OD way is unavoidable, what were we chanting about?
