	Lachrymology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Eye of Horus is a symbol tied to Lachrymology, in which indestructible wings grow out from a crying eye.
		Lachrymology is the philosophy and religion founded in 1949 by Ronald P. Vincent teaching that only through physical and mental pain (and that pain's subsequent release, as in crying) can one become a higher being.
		Blair Blake, in his article about lachrymology, suggests that the religion is not a literal reference to emotional and physical growth through overcoming emotional and physical hardship (as symbolized by crying tears from the eyes), but rather to spiritual growth through experiencing the entheogenic secretions (DMT) of the pineal gland, or Third Eye.

	Lachrymology
		Lachrymology, when deciphered for it's meaning, becomes "the study of crying".
		Despite the apparent lies concerning it's origins, the basic tenets of Lachrymology are still worth study, although it is a shame that the actual philosopher behind this science is unknown.
		The essential ideas behind Lachrymology are quite simple, the science teaches that a human cannot very well develop emotionally, mentally, or spiritually without the experience of pain.

		Although Tool speaks strongly of Lachrymology it is not meant as a religion, it is mistaken for a religion for being based on a (supposed) fictional character Ronald P. Vincent.
		Lachrymology in the words of Maynard James Keenan Since Lachrymology translates directly as "the study of crying" this explains the repeating pattern of tool bringing up the subject of water in their songs and albums such as "Undertow" and "Ænima" there is a repeating theme of water.

		It has been widely decided that "lachrymology," the science of crying as a therapy, is just another one of the elaborate wild tales Tool makes up in order to keep us (or them) entertained.
		Lachrymology translates literally to "the study of crying." The basic tenet, evident in the band's music, is that the greatest road to advancement is through pain--emotional and physical.
		Vincent (supposedly) wrote a book in 1949 called _The Joyful Guide to Lachrymology_ which (supposedly) was Adam's (and later the whole band's) original inspiration.

	Urban Dictionary: lachrymology
		This religion is supposedly practiced by all the members of the heavy metal group Tool, but since it is nearly impossible to find any writings about Lachrymology that aren't related to Tool, it is obvious that Lachrymology was a hoax made up by Tool.
		Since several of Tool's songs attack the cult Scientology, it is likely that Lachrymology was made up as a satire of Scientology, especially since Tool has claimed that Scientology has drawn many followers away from Lachrymology.

	Topic awaiting preservation: Tool and Lachrymology — OZONE Asylum, home of the Mad Scientists
		Since Lachrymology translates directly as "the study of crying" this explains the repeating pattern of tool bringing up the subject of water in their songs and albums such as "Undertow" and "Ænima" there is a repeating theme of water.
		What we know of the foundations of Lachrymology to date is very little (aside from the band's remarks above), mostly due to the mysterium its probable founders surround themselves with, as well as a general dismissal of the philosophy as a hoax and therefore worthless.
		From my search for evidence of Lachrymology in Keenan’s work, I have produced two common elements within his lyrics (the instrumental music itself aside- that may be a future project) that point to the existence of Lachrymology and Keenan’s (if not Tool in its entirety) advocacy of its methods.

		It means `the study of crying', and is the name given to a philosophy which advocates fuelling one's life by feeding off pain.
		It also says that the theory of lachrymology was developed by one Ronald P Vincent, after his wife had been dismembered in a snow plough accident in 1948.
		Cornering Danny in an abandoned crew room backstage at London's Brixton Academy, I put it to him that the theory of lachrymology is a pile of shit, designed to encourage gullible journalists to make complete prats of themselves in print.

	A Report on Lachrymology \| TDG - Science, Magick, Myth and History
		The Joyful Guide to Lachrymology that Adam obtained (at a local swap meet many years ago) is not really a book or a novel as it's been described (privately published or otherwise).
		With the ambiguous symbolism and intentionally abstruse phrases such as "snuffing out the jeweled flame of illusion to find paradise in the fl spark divine", he was hinting at a formula that pertains to the qabalistic supernals that exist beyond the abyss.
		According to the author, this honey in question was not the sweet, syrupy substance made by bees as food from the nectar of flowers and found in the combs of hives.

		Okay, so far we've seen just a couple examples of books that, for whatever reason, were for the most part destroyed by those who wished to prevent their distribution with a few copies surviving as 'proof' of their existence.
		From what I could gather from conversations with band members as well as from examining several old photographs of the author that had been inserted between the pages of the mimeographed short story, at first, although he might not have been the lunatic that I originally thought, Ronald P. Vincent was still a complete enigma.
		As valid as a form of psychotherapy that Lachcrymology may be with regards to inner advancement and psychological development by learning to deal with any emotional and physical pain that has been inflicted upon one's self, despite the lachrymose poetry, this was not the true message that Vincent was trying to impart to his readers.

		Created around the idea of lachrymology, or the "study of crying," Tool became both a symbol of success in the music world and a tribute to the concept of channeling negative energy toward positive means.
		In fact, it was the latter who inspired the concept of the band from the beginning.

		Lachrymology, when deciphered for it’s meaning, becomes “the study of crying”;.
		Finally, the philosophical basis of Lachrymology eludes to “crying as a therapy”.
		Perhaps it does not have the best beginnings, but as the quote states… “all new truths begin as heresies.” Only by exploring and understanding our human capacity for pain can we learn to appreciate pleasure, and experience the complete developmental potential that pain (emotional or physical) can truly offer.

		Lachrymology teaches the simple belief that crying is the best emotional release and should be encouraged as therapeutic.
		People who endorse lachrymology often believe that it is only through pain (both physical and emotional) and recovery that an individual can advance him or her self, adopting a slight "whatever doesn't kill me only makes me stronger" mentality.
		Other beliefs about the origin of Tool's name besides lachrymology theories include a nickname for certain types of army cadets and the obvious possible reference to male genitals.

		Then, in the Undertow-era bio on the band, the book was referred to in this manner: "In the summer of 1948, Ronald P. Vincent, a crop-spray contractor, moved from Kansas to Hollywood after his wife had been dismembered in a bizarre snow plough accident.
		Inspired by the unrelenting pain he felt, Vincent penned his first and only book, 'A Joyful Guide to Lachrymology.'" Based on that...

		Notice how when he says "I don't mind..." the music becomes "the storm." Lachrymology is the principle that we can advance ourselves only through adversity.
		Also is the chromosome theory (author unbeknownst to me) stating that Aborigines (sp?) had two less chromosomes than us (42&2) and consequently a unity-vibe consciousness in which every individual in the tribe behaved like cells in a greater organism connected in thought, operating as a unified whole.
		I guess the hypothesis is that normal humans (44&2) are a stepping stone (I'll connect this with lachrymology* later) into a superior form of humanity (46&2.) The idea is that if you search yourself inside out (LSD helps) for all of the real answers to everything that you ponder, you will evolve.
