"Wilson is one of the most
profound, important,
scientific philosophers of this century -- scholarly, witty, hip and
hopeful."
-Timothy Leary
"Robert Anton Wilson walks
the tightrope between
coincidence and conspiracy
with visionary grace."
-Paul
Krassner

Looking back, I feel a sense of humble astomishment.
I seem to have written a 1990s book in the 1970s....

Illuminati
Papers
Robert Anton Wilson
lluminati
Papers asks: Is all of history a vast
conspiracy?
Cosmic joke? Robert Anton Wilson developed the story of the Illuminati,
a conspiracy as old as time itself, as a vehicle to amuse and
enlighten.
A leading writer and legendary thinker, Wilson's best-selling books,
The
Illuminatus Trilogy and Cosmic Trigger, have delighted readers the
world
over.
In
the Illuminati Papers, Wilson speaks through characters
from
his novels and other realities to present his views on our future way
of
life. Includes such topics as: the HEAD Revolution, Secrets of
Evolution,
How to Eliminate Stupidity, Illuminati Interoffice Memos, the Position
Papers of Hagbard Celine, Economic Liberation, and the usual gang of
lunatics,
mystics and charlatans clamoring for a New Social Order.
Hey, man, are you using only half your brain? You're
pretty hip. We all know that. You can throw an I Ching hexagram and
intuit
its meaning. You know all about Hedonic Engineering and staying high.
You've
seen through all the social games. When it comes to the neurosomatic
circuit
of the brain, and body wisdom, you're a champ. And everybody knows it.
But what about those mysterious
left-hemisphere
brain functions? Wouldn't you like to learn the secrets of the West,
previously
known only to the adepts at the esoteric Princeton Institute for
Advanced
Studies? Strange arts like the Equation, which predicts things before
they
happen, or the Syllogism, which allows you to test an argument for
internal
validity? Or wouldn't you like to know how the mysterious Stereo works,
or what keeps planes from falling out of the sky?
Imagine trying to live with one eye, or
one lung,
or one testicle.
Isn't it equally a handicap to use only
half your
brain?
