Have you ever read any Robert Anton Wilson? He seems almost conspicuously absent from your library, so maybe you've heard of him and don't like him. But he was friends with Tim Leary and wrote extensively about Leary's eight circuit model. He underwent Orgone therapy back when it was still illegal and wrote a lot about what he called the "new inquisition" (the type of dogmatic scientific materialists who, he felt, hounded Reich and Leary and others.) He was also into Korzybski's General semantics, conspiracy, the occult (esp. Crowley, Gurdjieff, and yoga) and is just, in general someone whom I think a person with your library would dig. His most famous book is the Illuminatus! Trilogy, a sprawling work of fiction which includes all of these themes. Alan Moore spoke at a memorial for him in the U.K.
