if you are paying attention, this book will change the way you think. other than Wilson's occasional anti-Feminism joke, this book is mind-blowing.

I adore this book. Though the writing might be a little out dated and silly, the ideas are profound. I absolutely believe in the concepts that Wilson has described here, particularly the idea of synchronicity. I recommend this book for everyone.

Love chaos magick, hated this, moreso I liked it at the start but after progressing more and more it just turned awful. There are really no truths to be found. The exercises are maybe the best part of the book.

This is, likely, the one book of RAW's that I still have a copy of on a shelf somewhere. I read it nearly 20 years ago and I can't say I remember it well or would even necessarily still find it insightful. That said, it had a dramatic impact on me at the time I read it and open my mind to a lot of possible different ways of looking at the world around me.

I defintely think this one will require a re-read - I got a bit lost half way through - probably not the easiest book to read on a crowded metro!

Robert Anton Wilson swiftly became one of my favorite thinkers when I first encountered him earlier this year and this book cemented that in my mind. This book is such a mindfuck that I came out the other end thinking I’m either on a path to liberation or the nuthouse. Luckily, it’s probably neither. Add into this mix of psychology, mysticism, wild and frivolous speculation, etc the fact Wilson’s practically a Jungle Cruise skipper guiding you through the inspiring insanity of consciousness and you’ve got a book worth recommending to anyone with an open mind and a thirst for introspective adventuring.

My brain wasn't ready for this. I'm gonna need a couple of days (lifetimes) to process everything I've learned and what's relevant to my human experience at the moment lol.
