Robert Anton Wilson's final book explores the "relativity of reality" in a mind-bending stream of essays. Among other topics, the master of guerrilla ontology examines The Celtic Roots Of Quantum Theory, Schrödinger's Other Cat, Joyce & Daoism, Sexual Alchemy, Left and Right A Non-Euclidean Perspective, and Cheerful Reflections On Death And Dying. RAW's description of his run for Governor of California as the candidate for his Guns & Dope Party offers a delightfully absurd view of an improbable Maybe in terrestrial politics. "I wrote these polemics, poems, neurolinguistic experiments and assorted meanderings over a period of about 45 years," and in reflecting on this extraordinary collection of his writings, the brilliant and modest Model Agnostic adds, "I don’t believe anything, but I have many suspicions . . . These suspicions have grown over 72 years, but as a rather slow and stupid fellow I do not have the Chutzpah to proclaim any of them as certitudes."

“One of the leading thinkers of the modern age.” - Barbara Marx Hubbard, Foundation for Conscious Evolution
“A masterful satirist who views history as an open question.” - Brad Linaweaver, Atlanta Constitution
“I have learned more from Robert Anton Wilson than I have from any other source.” - Comedian George Carlin

R.A. Wilson (RAW), is a gateway for the average individual and a guide to boot. He'll take any individual on a whirlwind tour of great minds and subjects but more importantly than that he stresses in his writings how to APPLY these things. His sense of humour is tremendous but the man is by no means naive or blindly optimistic. Everybody these days is going on about quantum physics and philosophy but most of it is the usual buzzword-laden, thought-fad-of-the-moment, "white light" drivel that excites emotions and clutters bookshelves. RAW stresses that you must do the exercises and be satisfied with your own answers to questions.Product details

Email to the Universe and Other Alterations of Consciousness edition by Robert Anton Wilson Health Fitness Dieting eBooks Reviews
"You have to be of a particular bent to appreciate this guy," or not. Maybe any kind of bent will do when you are open minded enough to read past the first paragraphs. I'm critiquing another reviewer here, but it's really not necessary to bolster Robert Anton Wilson's reviews as there are plenty of serious accolades for Bob's books all over the Net.
I've long considered "Cosmic Trigger I" and "Prometheus Rising" to be the best introductions to Bob's work, but I now have to add "Email to the Universe" to that list. With essays that span a period of 45 years of this remarkable writer's career, this book offers a breadth of observation and speculation guaranteed to fascinate anyone unafraid of the novelty that defines the most eccentric ideas in quantum mechanics and the most innovative inventions of the information age. As always with RAW's books, the reader is in for a wild ride.
Many of us are apparently afraid of that ride. Neophopia, fear of the new, and Neophilia, love of the new, are described in Bob's essay "Dreams of Flying" with the typical RAW talent for presenting mind-bending examples, as in "Cosmic Trigger," and panoramic elucidation as in "Prometheus Rising."
Forgive me as I cut and paste and string together a handful of lines from several paragraphs in this essay . . .
From Email To The Universe
" . . . dreams of flying appeared in the collective unconscious before the reality of flight existed in technology, and I suspect that if we understood our dreams better we would use our technology more wisely . . . I suggest that we contemplate what our children look at every Saturday morning on TV. One of the most popular jokes in animated cartoons shows the protagonist walking off a cliff, without noticing what he has done. Sublimely ignorant, he continues to walk - on air - until he notices that he has been doing the "impossible," and then he falls . . . Daedalus who, imprisoned in a labyrinth (conventional "reality"), invented wings and flew away, over the heads of his persecutors; and Icarus, the son of Daedalus, who flew too close to the Sun Absolute and fell back to Earth. Like Porky Pig walking off a cliff, Icarus' fall contains a symbolism many have encountered in their own dreams . . . Daedalus means "artist" in Greek . . . Daedalus, inventor of wings that took him from Earth to Outer Space - why does he represent Art, instead of Science? . . . The genius of an artist, Aristotle says, lies in his texne, the root from which we get our word "technology"; but texne basically means skill or craft, or the ability to make things that never existed before. Negative entropy, i.e., information . . . The musician and the architect, the poet and the physicist -- all inventors of new realities -- all such Creators may be best considered late evolutionary developments of the type that first appears as the shaman. Please remember that shamans in most cultures are known as "they who walk in the sky," just like our current shaman-hero, Luke Skywalker . . . The ironies of Swift and Aristophanes, and the myths of the fall of Icarus and Donald Duck, indicate that the collective unconscious contains a force opposed to our dreams of flight. This appears inevitable . . . But what if we begin to regrow healthy organs of Poetic Imagination and flight? What if we "put on wings and arouse the coiled splendor within," as Liber Al urges? . . . Joyce did not name his emblematic Artist merely Daedalus, but Stephen Daedalus -- after St. Stephen the Protomartyr, who reported a Vision and was stoned to death for it . . . Those of us who have no avocation for martyrdom must learn, when we realize how much neophobia remains built into the contraptions of "society" and "the State," the art of surviving in spite of them. In a word, we must "get wise" in both the Socratic meaning of the phrase and in the most hardboiled street meaning. Neophobia functions as an Evolutionary Driver, forcing the neophiliac to get very smart very fast."

Forgive me, Bob, for condensing a ten page essay into one, your writing deserves savoring, but allow me in this little exercise to bring a taste of your work to both the neophiliacs and neophobiacs visiting who may be unaware of your gifts.
Great read love RAW. 2 stars is not for the read its for the quality of book itself. Came in with pages separated from glue of the binding. It really sucks but i dont want to return it cuz thebook is an awesome read.
Awesome-sauce! Plus a plate of Pickle-Biscuits. 23 to be unexact.
I understand this book was originally to be called tale of the tribe and it almost did not get published. I'm glad it did. It is a wonderful meditation on the world written by a man who has inspired millions. Robert Anton Wilson always backs up what he says and makes numerous references about many people who have inspired him. As such it is not only a great read on it's own merit but also somewhat of a reference book that makes it easy to find out more for yourself. It's an easy read and anyone who wishes to have a broader perspective on the world and themselves should spend some time with it.
recommended to all metaprogramers- you know who you are- you decide who you will be.
What I love about Bob's work is that from book to book, even when he addresses the same issues, he always does so from a slightly different perspective. Having read two dozen of his books in the last six years, I found this to be an enlightening "final take" from a modern day genius - reading it deepened my understanding of everything else he has written. As such, I think it's really most enjoyable for those who have some experience with the old guy - i.e. those of us who can appreciate that he's taken to writing haikus about Monteray Bay in his final years.
A wild, entertaining, deep and crazy-good kaleidoscope of RAW. Highly recommended. What a mind and heart!
