"I don't believe anything, but I have many suspicions...

...I strongly suspect that a world "external to," or at least independent of, my senses exists in some sense.

I also suspect that this world shows signs of intelligent design, and I suspect that such intelligence acts via feedback from all parts to all parts and without centralized sovereignity, like Internet; and that it does not function hierarchically, in the style of an Oriental despotism, an American corporation or Christian theology. I somewhat suspect that Theism and Atheism both fail to account for such decentralized intelligencce, rich in circular-causal feedback.

I more-than-half suspect that all "good" writing, or all prose and poetry that one wants to read more than once, proceeds from a kind of "alteration in consciousness," i.e. a kind of controlled schizophrenia. [Don't become alarmed -- I think good acting comes from the same place.]

I sometimes suspect that what Blake called Poetic Imagination expresses this exact thought in the language of his age, and that visits by"angels" and "gods" states it an even more archaic argot.

These suspicions have grown over 72 years, but as a rather slow and stupid fellow I do not have the chutzpah to proclaim any of them as certitudes. Give me another 72 years and maybe I'll arrive at firmer conclusions."

- Robert Anton Wilson

STUPIDITY QUOTE 1 OF 3 Friday, November 25, 2022

"Stupidity is like bumping into a wall all the time. After a while you get tired of it and try to look the situation over and see if there’s a doorway somewhere. I think most people eventually do look for the doorway and stop bumping into the wall." - Robert Anton Wilson

R.I.P. Antero Alli (1952-2023), a Finnish-American philosopher, writer, film-maker, theatre director.

Probably best known for his books on the Eight-Circuit Model of Consciousness developed by Timothy Leary & Robert Anton Wilson, but as said, he was so much more. Antero, even though we never met face to face, it was an honour to know you in the last years of your journey. Arto Antero Alexander Alli was born in Helsinki, Finland, 11 November, 1952. He passed away in Portland, Oregon, 9 November, 2023. "I have lived by a code of 'amor fati' for many years - in love with What Is; whatever fate comes my way, I accept. This is no passive acquiescence or subordination to death but a revolution of Spirit to the deep mystery pulsing at the very heart of existence itself." - Antero Alli, March, 2023

Robert Anton Wilson, a prolific writer and thinker, had a unique and insightful perspective on Timothy Leary’s 8 circuit model of consciousness. Wilson, known for his explorations of reality, psychology, and the nature of human perception, engaged with Leary’s model and expanded upon it in his own writings. Let’s delve into Wilson’s take on the 8 circuit model and how he built upon it.

Wilson viewed the 8 circuit model as a valuable framework for understanding human consciousness and its evolution. However, he approached it with a healthy dose of skepticism and a willingness to question and reframe existing models. He believed that Leary’s model, while intriguing, should not be seen as an absolute or definitive map of consciousness but rather as a useful metaphorical tool for exploration.

One of Wilson’s key contributions to the discussion of the 8 circuit model was his emphasis on the idea that these circuits are not fixed or static but can be reprogrammed and reconfigured through various means, including psychological techniques, meditation, and even humor. Wilson suggested that individuals have the potential to transcend the limitations of their current circuitry and access higher levels of awareness and functioning.

Wilson also incorporated elements of his own model, known as the “Reality Tunnel,” into his interpretation of Leary’s 8 circuits. The Reality Tunnel is a concept that highlights the idea that individuals perceive and interpret reality through a specific set of beliefs, biases, and cultural conditioning. Wilson believed that each circuit in the 8 circuit model represented a distinct reality tunnel or lens through which individuals view and experience the world.

Additionally, Wilson expanded upon the notion that the circuits are not just limited to individual psychology but also encompass collective and cultural dimensions. He explored the idea that different societies and cultures may be operating primarily on specific circuits, which shape their worldviews and values.

Wilson’s work also introduced the concept of “metaprogramming” in relation to the 8 circuit model. Metaprogramming refers to the intentional reprogramming and restructuring of one’s belief systems, thought patterns, and behaviors. He suggested that by engaging in metaprogramming practices, individuals could move beyond the limitations of their current circuitry and access higher levels of consciousness and expanded awareness.

In his writings, Wilson often utilized humor, satire, and unconventional approaches to challenge fixed beliefs and encourage readers to explore different perspectives. He believed that a flexible and playful mindset was crucial for navigating the complexities of consciousness and the limitations imposed by reality tunnels.

Overall, Robert Anton Wilson’s take on Leary’s 8 circuit model was one of exploration, skepticism, and creative reinterpretation. He saw the model as a useful framework for understanding consciousness, but he also encouraged individuals to question and transcend its limitations. Through his own contributions and the incorporation of his Reality Tunnel concept, Wilson expanded the discussion around the 8 circuit model and offered new avenues for exploration in the realm of human perception and consciousness.

Robert Anton Wilson’s application of drugs to the 8 circuit model of consciousness was rooted in his belief that certain substances could act as tools for expanding perception, altering consciousness, and accessing different levels of awareness represented by the circuits. Wilson explored the potential of psychedelic substances, such as LSD and psilocybin, in facilitating the activation and exploration of these circuits.

Wilson viewed psychedelics as catalysts for breaking down conditioned patterns of thinking and perception, allowing individuals to temporarily transcend their usual reality tunnels and experience new perspectives. He saw them as tools for challenging established beliefs, expanding consciousness, and accessing higher levels of awareness represented by the later circuits of the model.

According to Wilson, the use of psychedelics could potentially activate the higher circuits of consciousness, which are associated with expanded awareness, enhanced empathy, and a sense of interconnectedness. These substances were seen as tools for temporarily transcending the limitations of the lower circuits, which are often characterized by survival-oriented behaviors, egoic identification, and conditioned societal programming.

However, Wilson also acknowledged that the effects of psychedelics could be highly subjective and influenced by individual mindset, intention, and set and setting (the psychological and environmental factors surrounding the drug experience). He emphasized the importance of responsible use, proper preparation, and integration of the psychedelic experiences to derive the maximum benefit.

In addition to psychedelics, Wilson explored the application of other drugs, such as cannabis and stimulants, in relation to the 8 circuit model. He believed that different substances had the potential to influence specific circuits or alter the overall functioning of the nervous system, thereby influencing perception and consciousness.

It is important to note that Wilson did not view drugs as the sole means of accessing higher levels of consciousness or personal transformation. He recognized that various other practices, such as meditation, breathwork, ritual, and cognitive techniques, could also lead to similar states of expanded awareness and growth.

Wilson’s exploration of drugs in the context of the 8 circuit model reflects his broader perspective on the malleability of human consciousness and the potential for individuals to intentionally shape their reality tunnels. He saw substances as tools that, when used consciously and responsibly, could open doors to new insights, expanded perceptions, and the exploration of alternative states of consciousness.

Overall, Robert Anton Wilson’s application of drugs to the 8 circuit model of consciousness highlights his belief in the potential of certain substances to act as catalysts for expanding perception, challenging conditioned patterns, and accessing higher states of awareness represented by the circuits.

The most extensive collection in print documenting the Discordian Society’s wild and wooly legacy, Historia Discordia features the unique worldview and wit of such illuminated iconoclasts as Robert Anton Wilson and Discordian founders Greg Hill and Kerry Thornley. Chronicling Discordianism’s halcyon days, Historia Discordia presents a fun and freewheeling romp through rare photos, holy tracts, art collages, and fnords, many of which appear for the first time in print. “Like communication-god Thoth with his yammering ape, like the all-important noise that Count Korzybski assures us must accompany our every signal, no harmony is possible without an acknowledgement and understanding of discord. Born from the bowling-alley epiphanies of Greg Hill and Kerry Thornley, its disruptive teachings disseminated through the incendiary writings of Robert Anton Wilson and other Eristic luminaries, the Discordian Society has unexpectedly become a landmark of gleefully aggressive sanity in a chaotic and incoherent world. Through this book, we can all involve ourselves in their gloriously constructive quarrel.” —Alan Moore

“When we meet somebody whose separate tunnel-reality is obviously far different from ours, we are a bit frightened and always disoriented...We tend to think they are mad, or that they are crooks trying to con us in some way, or that they are hoaxers playing a joke.

Yet it is neurologically obvious that no two brains have the same genetically programmed hard wiring, the same imprints, the same conditioning, the same learning experiences. We are all living in separate realities. That is why communication fails so often, and misunderstandings and resentments are so common.”

- Robert Anton Wilson
