Summary: An important centerpiece of Wilson's oevre
Review: A book entirely devoted to exploring the "model agnosticism" implicit in all of Wilson's books, yet (seems to me) largely free of the goofy leg-pulling and New Age glaze that sometimes clouds the "message" of other books such as Cosmic Trigger. This book should be required reading for every human on the planet.

Summary: Wilson Repeats Himself Again! Still Lots of Fun
Review: After reading a majority of Robert Anton Wilson's books, I have formed the opinion that he repeats the same points over and over again through-out his work. I find that he often writes about General Semantics, UFOs, quantum physics, reality tunnels, and weird science. I also think that he revisits these topics to make the same points he has made before.I also think that the points he makes are well worth repeating, and further more I think that they are could be some of the most important ideas in the world today. Wilson askes us to reconsider everything we think that we know about reality, right down the our use of the word "is." As I read anyone of his books, I find myself time after time challenged to rethink how I view "reality." I really enjoy reading RAW's work, and this book is not an exception for me. It has been about five years since I have read a RAW book, and I am glad I have waited. Instead of complaining about Wilson covering the same territory twice I am happy to get reaquainted with his views on life the universe and everything.

Summary: Passive voice for the passive mind
Review: As a professional physicist I found RAW's exposition comical, he proudly states that he has never studied Physics, which "is" painfully obvious to someone who has. This of course made me extremely wary of anything else he writes as I am not able to judge the material in the same manner, but his grasp appears similarly weak and superficial. He has clearly skimmed a lot of books which may make him seem erudite to the uninformed. In fact this book is so awful I am not sure if it is meant to be a parody. I am open minded, but not so much so that my brain has fallen out. Buy Jim Baggots, "The Meaning of Quantum Theory", Feynman's "QED", Richard Dawkins' "The Selfish Gene", Carl Jung's "Man ans His Symbols" or Ludwig Wittgenstien's "Philosophical Investigatations", if you want a really mind expanding read. In fact read nearly anything else.

Summary: This book stands as a classic in psychology writings
Review: By yourself or with a group (I've tried both ways) this book promisses to be thought provoking. The ideas presented lead us toward a new understanding of psychology from a "hard science" point of view. No matter what your current oppinion, this book seems worth the time and thought.

Summary: great book
Review: didn't change what I thought, just made it more explicit. no new ideas that you can't just extract out of the act of life as a thinking person, but certainlly lingually lays it all out for you. the last few chapters are more exciting than most novels, and it all smells good and ... true? e-prime may be great for a lot of things, mostly thought and disconnection from the I, but in reviews and art inprecise language will always (appear to human inprecise senses) rule.

Summary: My seretonin levels were inhibited by reading this book
Review: Ever wanted to memorize the lexicon of the common house shrew? Well Robert Anton wilson holds the proverbial Rosetta Stone between his tightened mandibles. I was amazed and enthralled by the permutations of the verb "to be". There are five different verbs that signify different states of being. (Unlike the two in simple Spanish) The subtleties of the bilabial fricatives alone made me feel like a transmigrated Timothy Archer. But Bobby Wilson cuts through all the intimidating jargon and other idiosynchratic idiomatic expressions and really makes it easy. Step into the amazing mind of the shrew!

Summary: A great book-Just a peice of art
Review: For the seriouse reader: this is a great contribution towards a better understanding of the human psychology. Furthermore, this book successfuly merges the worlds of nature sciences particularly physics, quantum physics and philosophy with the study of psychology. After each chapter you become a different person, by developing a much more relaxed and better ways of seeing and interacting with the surrounding and every day life challenges, yet the book stays deep in every idea it dares to present and discusses. For those who work on the quantum brain, neuroscience and quantum mecahnics, you would find the book a great tool towards understanding and formulating a consis look of the world around us, including ourselves. A great book, I recommend for every one to have. Just a true must have wonder!

Summary: Worth reading
Review: I have read much of Mr. Wilson's writings. This book is well worth reading for its counter cultural flavor and pseudo-scientific odor. Together they make for a fine work that leaves one laughing with, at and in spite of the author. Very hard to put down! Mr. Wilson reminds us not to believe what we hear and only half of what we see. And that includes these words as well as his.
