Quantum Psychology offers a coherent and humorous description of how our thoughts, values and behaviors have been colored by our use of language and our prevailing view of the universe. While Quantum Mechanics, relativity, non-Euclidean geometries, non-Aristotelian logic and General Semantics have revolutionized our view of the world, the habits of daily human thought still sit deeply rooted in the thought patterns and linguistic conventions of the middle ages. Through an introduction to E-Prime (English without use of the verb "to be"), the Eight Circuits of the Brain Model, and the labyrinth of Quantum Mechanic's various views of reality, Quantum Psychology can help your brain improve your perception of yourself and the world.This Hilaritas Press edition features a New Introduction by David Jay Brown!The Robert Anton Wilson Trust Authorized Hilaritas Press Edition

Robert Anton Wilson presents a compelling exploration of Reich's trials through an essay and play script, capturing the essence of his persecution. Dr. Christopher S.

Throughout human history, thoughts, values and behaviors have been colored by language and the prevailing view of the universe. With the advent of Quantum Mechanics, relativity, non-Euclidean geometries, non-Aristotelian logic and General Semantics, the scientific view of the world has changed dramatically from just a few decades ago. Nonetheless, human thinking is still deeply rooted in the cosmology of the Middle Ages. Quantum Psychology is the book to change your way of perceiving yourself—and the universe—for the 21st century. Some say it's materialistic, others call it scientific and still others insist it's mystical. It is all of these—and none.

The great modern classic of a brilliant rebel's personal exploration into the nature of consciousness Featuring a New Introduction by John Higgs "Cosmic Trigger deals with a process of deliberately induced brain change. This process is called "initiation" or "vision quest" in many traditional societies and can loosely be considered some dangerous variety of self-psychotherapy in modern terminology. I do not recommend it for everybody . . . briefly, the main thing I learned in my experiments is that "reality" is always plural and mutable." - Robert Anton Wilson from the Preface The Robert Anton Wilson Trust Authorized Hilaritas Press Edition

WHAT BEGAN AS A SIMPLE SCHOLARLY PURSUIT ENDS IN A WAKING NIGHTMARE... Sir John Babcock, endowed with wealth and a healthy dose of curiosity, has stumbled on to an ancient order. With what he now knows, there will be no turning back. Even if he wants to. Not after he is trained as an initiate and knows of their perverted lusts—and their murders.

Neither the unknown physics professor, Albert Einstein, nor the wild and obscure lrishman, James Joyce, and certainly not Sir John, can grapple with Aleister Crowley and his ancient, terrible order. An international order of beings so horrifying that it defies human imagination—almost.... An order based in hell and determined to rule the world with evil—forever. For once you have looked them full in the face, there is no turning away from the... MASKS OF THE ILLUMINATI

"If baseball can have a designated hitter, why can't science fiction have a designated underground classic? Well, apparently it can, and Illuminatus! is its name." - Booklist It was a deadly mistake.

Now his offices have been bombed, he's missing, and the case has landed in the lap of a tough, cynical, streetwise New York detective.

Auf den Spuren der IlluminatenDie Fortsetzung von „Das Auge in der Pyramide“: In einer visionären Vermischung von Erzähltechniken des Polit-Thrillers, Science-Fiction-Romans und des modernen Märchens führen die Autoren durch die jahrhundertelange Geschichte von Verschwörungen, Sekten und Schwarzen Messen.Kultbuch mit Suchtpotential!

W książce autor bez strachu wkracza w świat starożytnych kultów magiczno-seksualnych, które wykorzystywały substancje zmieniające świadomość jako klucze do wyobraźni. Opisuje współczesne formy tych praktyk, analizując wpływ rewolucji seksualnej i psychodelicznej w drugiej połowie XX wieku na renesans magii i okultyzmu. Seks, narkotyki i okultyzm stały się integralną częścią ekstrawaganckiego stylu życia w zachodnich metropoliach. Autor zachęca do przyjęcia założenia, że w każdym z nas tkwią ogromne zasoby odwagi, kreatywności i wyższej inteligencji. Sugeruje, że można wywołać łańcuch reakcji społecznych, jeśli wystarczająca liczba osób przestanie użalać się nad sobą i zacznie dążyć do szczęścia oraz efektywności. Może nie jesteśmy martwi, lecz hipnotyzowani przez pesymistyczne filozofie. Autor podkreśla, że moce ludzkiego umysłu nie zostały w pełni wykorzystane w różnych epokach. To, co postrzegamy jako ograniczenia, może być jedynie wynikiem złych nawyków, które możemy zmienić. Osoby gotowe rozważyć te heretyckie tezy mogą zyskać wiele z lektury.
