Meticulous research, in depth interviews and his own blood sweat and tears make this book burst with primary sourced materials. Prop met and interviewed Wilson, and studied under his wings at the Maybe Logic Academy 2004-2007. Prop has read and processed everything Wilson published, and done a great service to humanity in discovering and compiling many unpublished materials and eclipsed details.
This human story of integrity and the honest pursuit of the facts, no matter where they lead him is brave and honorable. Remaining forgiving and compassionate, RAW fans already feel this intuitively, now we have words and evidence to bolster those big feels. This book helps encapsulate and buffer that sense that now’s the time, the time to activate and put into practice what RAW communicated. Find and develope your own style. Nurture your own voice. Find the others. All that jazz.
Both a clear introduction to his work, and a wellspring of fat facts for the RAW heads, this book can change your life, if you want it?
The work has helped cement my suspicion that RAW and his works present a road map, or a pathway or network of pathways, for all around the world humanity to thrive, relatively peacefully. A universal, fair and equal and sane vision for planetwide cooperation, physical and mental health and sufficient tolerance, that which is expressed by Charlie Chaplin (Perilous) in his famous speech from The Great Dictator (1940)
Four quotations from the book, for a lil’ flava’
“you are hereby invited to join the most powerful, unscrupulous, dangerous, and mind-blowing non-existent secret society in the world, the Bavarian Illuminati (a front for the even more powerful and non-existent, POEE.) –CP, pg. 86.
Wilson was in D.C. that day with all the other hippies, Yippies, and freaks; walking past a chanting Ed Sanders who was standing on the back of a flatbed truck shouting, “Out demon, out!” towards the Pentagon.–CP, pg. 80.
In a May Day letter, he told Leary, “I am developing a system of consciousness-expansion based on Lilly, yourself, Masters–Houston, Crowley, Gurdjieff, traditional Wiccadom…In my vain moments I think I have something quicker and easier than either traditional magick or modern psychology.”–CP, pg. 115.
Cosmic Trigger Vol. 1 can now be named as the first popular non-fiction book to present the experiments that eventually earned John Clauser and Alain Aspect the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics.118 It was also the first popular book, according to Alan Moore, the British comic book genius and magician, to properly contextualize Thelema in a language that was accessible and fun. As if that wasn’t enough, Wilson’s book was also the first to present his and Leary’s 8-Circuit model of intelligence, and, according to Richard Metzger, the first to popularize the McKenna brothers Terrence and Dennis’s Timewave Zero Theory after their own The Invisible Landscape (1974).–CP, pg. 131.
I could go on quoting what I consider the evidence for both Wilson’s genius and the importance of this new biography in it’s carefully paced introduction to the facts.
Self evidently, as the saying goes, if it does not make you laugh its probably not true, or, gods can be recognized by their cheerfulness. Through all the struggle, rejection and physical discomfort, Wilson kept his integrity and generally maintained his hilaritas, his cheerfulness, optimism and kindness (expressed by experiential and experimental understanding) toward all sentient beings.
As a super fan of Wilson and his works, I’m naturally biased in my urgent recommendation to read this book, and support the author for his heroic biography. A labour of love. I have followed the long road, and the authors own struggle to get this book completed and published. Writing a book such as this, who’s subject is widly regarded as one of the brightest minds of a generation, requires a laser like focus, and decades deep full immersion in the subjects work. As noted, Wilson gets the biographer he deserves in Prop Anon. Walking the walk and talking the talk, and writing the writ. Get it in your soul.
Turn all that what might have been, what could have and should have been done, into action, into process. Do it. Make it knew. Walk tall.

The following is an unreleased track, made for the album Occupy, by Dr Marshmallow Cubicle. Titled “Law Of Acceleration” featuring the present author playing live drums and reading a chapter from Cosmic Trigger by Robert Anton Wilson, one of my favourite authors, most highly recommended books and chapters from that book.
I’d draw your special attention to RAWs resonance with describing, meaningfully, and not too gloomily, the current explosion in artificial intelligence technology. And, to some of good old Terence Mckenna’s poetic metaphors that ring through time.
The chapter I am reading from is called The Law Of Acceleration and can be found on page 219. Originally recorded in Amsterdam 2011. Guitar by Vincent Pino. Spread the word.
The first volume of the Cosmic Trigger series describes in vivid elucidation the perils of a spiritual journey. Volume two of the series presents the author’s “bridge”—how Bob grew into his expanded perspective of the Multiverse.
In this third and final volume, Bob digs even deeper and uncovers the masks of reality and the reality of masks. Warning: This book may reveal more about what is “real” in reality than you might find comfortable!
Hi, the following essay sprawled out of control into a what I now call a woo-woo piece. A densely packed linked up trans-media story, riddled with facts, methodology and research based thinking, yet considering epoch sized, call em’ cosmic-ramifications, or woo-woo. I’d like to thank everybody who crossed my path along the way and above all to wish readers a strong, resilient and joyous 2020 as we shuffle toward the lights. After a number of perceived synchronicities recently, charged by the universal sense of existential dread flowing through the species at the moment, I’m reflecting on 44 days that impacted my life in 2012 and what I can learn in 2020. If you get tired of my tales you can skip to video and music links.
My story begins around 1996, when I was living in Stourbridge UK and experimenting with psychedelic drugs and trip poets. I discovered two authors simultaneously, thanks to close friends, that had a deep and lasting impact on my life: Terence McKenna and Robert Anton Wilson. When I discovered the chapter, Law Of Acceleration, in Wilson’s popular work of non-fiction Cosmic Trigger (1977) and his inclusion of McKenna’s Timewave-Zerotheory, the penny dropped, or my voice dropped, something dropped. Wilson’s model of information doubling and onward to distinguishing exponential growth, including McKenna’s model and his love for entheogens and magic mushrooms was precisely what I needed to hear. Since then, I’ve followed the 2012 stuff and chimed in now and then with my 5c contribution to what I think it all means. As I said, woo-woo, to mean BIG ideas about complex processes and esoteric knowledge, a bit like criticism of Finnegans Wake by James Joyce. These were the wild and out-there things this young apprentice shaman pined for. Indeed, these are the conditions that led me to adopt the artist name: Fly Agaric 23 around 1995.
To give at least some idea of what I had read at this point in my life, yet not necessarily understood correctly! I’ll list a few titles: Food Of The Gods, True Hallucinations, The Invisible Landscape by McKenna, Cosmic Trigger I, II and III, Sex Drugs And Magick, Quantum Psychology by Wilson.777 and The Book Of Thoth by Aleister Crowley, The Cosmic Serpent by Jeremy Narby, I-Ching And The Genetic Code by Martin Schonberger, plus dipping my toe into Graham Hancock, Robert Bauval and even a taste of David Icke (spits over shoulder, ugh). During this time (1996-2000) I was drumming, learning to DJ with Jungle/Drum and Bass, Hip Hop, Trip Hop music, plus discovering the diverse UK underground cultural melting pot, leading to collaborating on nights and events locally.
Jump forward 16 years, after living in America for five years, attending McKenna’s Wake in San Francisco, interviewing Wilson and contributing to his biographical film: Maybe Logic, and helping to found The Maybe Logic Academy (see MaybeLogic Quarterly). I was working at the 420 Coffeeshop, Amsterdam, collaborating closely with poet John Sinclair. It’s the 19th of November, the 25th High Times Cannabis Cup is opening.
John Sinclair And His Amsterdam Blues Scholars At The Cannabis Cup
As an unofficial, satellite performance, celebrating cannabis and hemp culture during the High Times Cup,John Sinclair And His Amsterdam Blues Scholars performed at Club Aknaton on November 19th, 2012. John Sinclair, Leslie Lopez, Esther Croez, Mark Ritsema, Vicente Pino, Rebbecca Waller and myself played two sets of reefer jazz, one with Sinclair front and center.
During the show, Steven Hager (of High Times) and Fantuzzi (Of The Fantuzzi Band) turned up, danced and fluffed-up the aura of the party. At the end, Hager stepped on stage and invited the band to join his Temple Dragon Band: the official High Times 2012 house band. Half the band accepted his offer. Rebbecca, Esther and I joined up for a week of creativity, chaos and a wild path to the Kukulkan pyramid, four weeks later.
At some point late in the week Fantuzzi asked me if I wanted to join him, to play drums at Synthesis 2012, taking place in Chichen Itza. It didn’t take me long to decide. One song I played with both The Temple Dragon Band and with Fantuzzi is called Warriors Of The Rainbow, and is his interpretation in song format, of the Hopi Prophecy.
