"The Illuminatus! Triology" by Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson.
- cwdegidio 4y agoThis book turned me into a rabid RAW fan... which in turn lead me to Discordianism. That journey then led me to Rev. Ivan Stang and the Church of the Subgenius. So pretty much, RAW and Robert Shea directly made me the weirdo I am today.
- sideshowb 4y agoInteresting, I went into this expecting a lot and it really missed the mark for me. Maybe I was too old?
- grafelic 4y agoPerhaps, read it when I was 15 years younger and haven't reread it. "Set and setting" is more important than age in some sense, age is more important than "set and setting" in some sense, and "set and setting" and age is equally important in some sense.
- j_crick 4y agoGreat to see RAW is getting some mentions here. His other stuff can be of interest too, like Prometheus Rising and Cosmic Triggers. It’s not that what he writes about is necessarily scientific or rigorous, but he offers a bunch of worldview building blocks that one can try and find very useful.
