The Time: Far In The Future.The Place: An Archeological Find At Bev-El (Beve-Hill? Beverly Hills!?!?!)Scientists have dug up the remains of a movie made in the closing years of the 20th century. As it was seemingly designed to persuade, seduce or trick people into practicing the outlawed art of THINKING, all prints of this shocking work had been banned, seized and burned. Except this one historic copy.Robert Anton Wilson presents a time-bending look at ourselves with a brilliant essay from an anthropologist far in the future who has found an ancient 20th century screenplay that is far from easy to explain. Read the screenplay for yourself and try to fathom this age we inhabit. Wilson combines our culture's absurdities, injustices, violence and desires, shot at you in a machine-gun-like assault on your senses and intellect. The result is hilarious, chilling and irrevocably mind-altering - a consciousness-raising experience filled with laughter, rage and insight."Wilson managed to reverse every mental polarity in me, as if I had been pulled through infinity. I was astonished ..." - Philip K. Dick, author of VALIS, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (Blade Runner) and other great books"Wilson's new brand of quantum philosophy, while pretending to amuse, actually rids the reader of important fictions necessary to the conduct of life as we know it. It's a very dangerous book." - Dr. Nick Herbert, Quantum Physicist"This book will make you laugh, - this book will make you think. Read it and you'll get away with more." - Arthur D. Hlavaty, publisher, Derogatory Reference

THE GREATEST MOVIE NEVER MADE!?! No director could capture it, no film could contain it, coming soon to the mind's eye within you: The Walls Came Tumbling Down! - A modern American story about the terror of accidentally stumbling into the cosmic circus of other-worldly consciousness, with no map or clue how to navigate the abyss and safely return home. What's your exit strategy for Chapel Perilous? What will you do when the walls tumble, the doors of perception fly open, and your brain is suddenly free from the limits of "mind"? What's the real truth about reality? Read on and get some clues . . ."Robert Anton Wilson limped out through the wall into the fire, into the simultaneous party of eternity, into the splendid, timeless funfair of a life that he has somehow managed to survive with thirty-five books weaving his ideas in their spectacular diversity, weaving his luminescent consciousness into the intellectual DNA of our painfully slow-developing society and dancing somewhere with his wife, back when he could still dance and she was still alive. " - Alan Moore"With his humorous rapier, Wilson pokes and prods our misconceptions, prejudices and ignorance. A quantum banquet." - Ray Tuckman, Broadcaster, KPFK Radio"The most important philosopher of this century" - Timothy Leary, Ph.D

Scott Apel, Barbara Marx Hubbard, Timothy Leary, Ph.D. Linus Pauling, Ph.D., Robert Newport, M.D., Edward Kellogg III, Ph.D., Peter Russell, George Carlin, and Ed McMahon."This compendium serves as Bob's book of everything. At once a time capsule of an era's leading reality-busting techniques and technologies, an origin story for our current state of consciousness, and a map for how to retrieve the spirit that must inform these practices if humans are going to come along for the ride." - Douglas Rushkoff, author of Team Human and other great books "Robert Anton Wilson was a multidimensional genius who wrote with penetrating insight, razor-sharp intellect, and a pronounced sense of the preposterous. This collection of rare writings from the first decuple of his Trajectories newsletter should prove that beyond an elephant of a doubt!" - D. Scott Apel, author, media critic & editor of Beyond Chaos and Beyond"Roll up for this smorgasbord of scientific utopian possibilities with a side order of acerbic antiauthoritarian commentary. For dessert, we have lucid deconstruction of conspiracy theory and musings on the necessity of uncertainty. This is Bob and his collaborators actively engaging in the fecund period of the late '80s and early '90s when the tech revolution seemed promising, the freaks seemed poised to take over and anything was possible. And there's RAWs literary flare. He's a master of logic and a maestro of puckish surreal illogic, an enigma wrapped in a sheet of blotter baked into a flying lasagna. Read on!" - R. U. Sirius, writer, editor, musician and cyberculture celebrity

This eclectic collection presents a series of articles outlining Robert Anton Wilson's unique perspective on the notorious scoundrel and mystic, Aleister Crowley - the Man, the Mage and his life's work. The centerpiece, "Do What Thou Wilt," recently liberated from the archival depths of Harvard University, is published here for the first time ever. In this, until recently unknown manuscript, Wilson examines and contrasts the pragmatic and theoretical revelations of Crowley's system, Thelema, with various other contemporaneous scientific research into expanded consciousness. Lion of Light is fleshed out with an introduction and foreword by Lon Milo Duquette and Richard Kaczynski respectively, along with four additional pieces by seasoned explorers that shed light on the relationship of these two Masters, Wilson and Crowley.~~~~"Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.Like many of my generation, I was steeped to magical maturity in a technicolor broth stirred by the Holy Trinity of Alan Watts, Timothy Leary, and Robert Anton Wilson. But when the subject is Aleister Crowley, I cannot possibly imagine a more informed, brilliant and insightful commentator than Robert Anton Wilson.Love is the law, love under will." - Lon Milo DuQuette, author of The Magick of Aleister Crowley"Two of the twentieth century's most provocative thinkers - Robert Anton Wilson and Aleister Crowley - meet in this career-spanning collection of Wilson's essays on magick and Thelema. RAW and AC go together like peanut butter and shrooms." - Richard Kaczynski, author of Perdurabo and The Weiser Concise Guide to Aleister Crowley

Hyatt writes, "Wilhelm Reich In Hell is an appropriate title for the horrific experiences that Dr. Reich, our hero, endured.

I was astonished and delighted." - Philip K. Dick, author of VALIS, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

ΓÇó ΓÇó ΓÇóEvery perception is a gamble, in which we see part, not all, (to see all requires omniscience) and "fill in" or project a convincing hologram out of minimal clues. We all intuitively know the obvious and correct answer to the Zen koan, "Who is the Master who makes the grass green?" - Robert Anton Wilson, Natural LawThe "Natural Law" debate has been raging around anarcho-libertarian circles for some time now. Well folks, it''s all over. "Natural Law" died an unnatural death, murdered ("executed" if you insist) by notorious stand-up comic Robert Anton Wilson. If you enjoyed pamphleteering in the old sense of the word, unabashed rhetorical mud-slinging on a high intellectual level, you will want to examine the murder weapon: Natural Law; or Don''t Put A Rubber On Your Willy. - Hakim Bey An appropriately savage attack on the "natural law" doctrines of certain "libertarian" pundits. - The Egoist Today is Maybe Day, a day inspired by the late writer Robert Anton Wilson. It was his hope that on this day people of all creeds and beliefs would come together and chant, "Jesus is the only son of God, maybe" "Hear O Israel, the Lord thy God is one, maybe" and "There''s no God but Allah, maybe, and maybe Mohammed is his prophet." At this point the world would suddenly become a far saner place. - John Higgs, writing in The GuardianThe Robert Anton Wilson Trust Authorized Hilaritas Press Edition
