Right Where You Are Sitting Now: Further Tales of the Illuminati (Visions Series)

This was great but the automatic writing got old after a while. I did actually read it all and I saw the repeating patterns. I'm sure it was RAW trying to reprogram my semantic reality tunnel as in if you read "patterned" gobbly guk long enough it will eventually start to make sense.

I loved the first short story and there were some very cool entries. The problem with reading something like this that's written 30 years ago is that he makes a lot of predictions and it's really disappointing when "it would have been great" but here you are 30 years later and we're nowhere near being there. It's like reading -Fear and Loathing- and hearing about the "high water mark" that was reached before the revolutionary waters sank back to a level of show more banality acceptable to a majority of the populace.

So it's definitely worth a read but you might want to skip the guk. show less

Has the best written interpretation of the jumping Jesus phenomenon i have seen (as opposed to the spoken word ones i have heard a few of). Some other really insightful articles as long as you can get through all of the cut up articles included.

There are some great essays and articles in here praising Buckminster Fuller and maligning the Amazing Randi. Even when I don't agree with RAW, he always makes his perspective clear and helps you to bend your reality tunnel for a few moments so that you can fall into that Maybe Logic state where you temporarily disagree with yourself. His guerrilla ontology will kick your head in if you aren't careful.

Unfortunately, this collection includes too many badly edited cut-up technique sections, too much repetitiveness, and wildly optimistic predictions that have decidedly not come to pass to recommend to any but the most ardent RAW fan. If you are new to RAW, try some of his others first.
