The great modern classic of a brilliant rebel's personal exploration into the nature of consciousness.
"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)
Narration by Oliver Senton, "Robert Anton Wilson" in Daisy Eris Campbell's stage production of Cosmic Trigger.
Based on The Robert Anton Wilson Trust Authorized Hilaritas Press Edition.
Published by Hilaritas Press.

Cosmic Trigger Vol. 1 is a brilliant synthesis of what was known and experienced about spiritual awakening by 1977, and Wilson takes a very fresh and experiential (intelligent but not intellectual) approach to explaning it all and making it personal - a mix of modern science, occult experimentation and Taoist playfulness. It is also one of those rare and remarkable books that in itself can be an initiatory experience, and induce liberation through reading/hearing.There are so many memorable quotes - my favorite being, "Whatever you believe imprisons you" (p.62) - and fascinating ideas, collections of ideas, implications of such collections, and the playful absurdity of such implications, that it seems each sentence has as much synthesized into it as the average person synthesizes in a lifetime, each page as much as a great person (thinker or doer) may synthesize in a life time, and the whole book perhaps more than a whole species may synthesize in its life...
The section on Leary's 8 neuromental "potential circuits" (p. 197-209) is worth devoting a whole book (or college course) to itself - a truly brilliant synthesis of personal and transpersonal, human and transhuman, understanding and experience - and yet it seems Leary has been ignored and marginalized due to his use of LSD. It's a shame. (Its clear that by making LSD illegal the government stifled its research and use by trained disciplined scientists, driving it instead into a juvenile druggy underground. Not unlike how outlawing the piano would make it so no more Rachmaninoff 3rd's would be written, or even played, but lots of grunge bands would continue to bang on the keys.)
Fortunately for us there are many ways to approach the numinous, LSD being one but not essential. But these kinds of writings ARE essential for helping activate our cosmic triggers, and so take our place in the host of the numinous... Thank you RAW.

Cosmic Trigger I Final Secret of the Illuminati (Audible Audio Edition) Robert Anton Wilson Oliver Senton LLC Hilaritas Press Books Reviews
Great book
The first half is really interesting and entertaining. Second half is less narrative.
Cosmic Trigger is as hard to categorize as it is enjoyable to read.Wilson ties together strands as diverse as qauntum theory,psychology,occultism and good old down to earth skepticism into a fascinating tapestry.Readers may be offended, shocked, or incredulous,but they will also be entertained and ,more likely than not,stimulated from this experience.The main strentgh of Wilsons writing is his ability to offer the reader tools to evaluate any information,and a healthy but not dogmatic skepticism.Mix in a self deprecating sense of humour and you'll have an idea of what Cosmic Trigger 1 has to offer. I believe the great strenth of Wilson is his ability to appeal to a wide range of readers without dumbing down the dialogue.This is a book that I cannot recommend highly enough.
Robert Anton Wilson's autobiographical work gives us an amazing insight into what thinking outside the box really means.
"Cosmic Trigger" is worth reading both for its historical value and its relevance today. Many of the important figures of the 60's and 70's, like Tim Leary, J Edgar Hoover and Robert A Wilson, are dead and gone, but the problems they represented are still with us. Permit me to quote one paragraph
"Paul Watzlavik, among others, has performed classic experiments in which totally sane people will begin to behave with all the irrationality of hospitalized paranoids or schizophrenics - just because they have been lied to in a calculated and systematic way. This sort of 'disinformation' matrix is so typical of many aspects of our society (e.g. advertizing and organized religion, as well as government) that some psychiatrists, such as R.D. Laing, claim it is the principal cause of psychotic breakdowns. When the politics of lying becomes normal, paranoia and alienation become the 'normality' of the day. The government, as the principal liar of the 1960's, was, of course, more deluded than anyone else, since its reality-map had become a classic disinformation system. The establishment began looking around for the villains to blame for the escalating social disintegration. Tim Leary got elected, by unanimous acclaim, Villain #1."
Nominations are now open for Villain #1 of this decade. Osama seems to be leading.
Not much to say that i'm sure hasn't already been said. Have bought this book over and over again. Every copy inevitably disappears into a friends care ne'er to be seen again. i don't mind at all. This book is too delightful to gather dust on my shelf.
This book is another step along the path. If you're reading this, buy the book and continue your journey. Humanity needs you more than you know. Peace, love, and eternal evolution to all.
