A friend recommended Prometheus Rising by Robert Anton Wilson, and I have to say that it is absolutely essential for anyone interested in existentialism, meta-physics, the emergence of self-awareness and the evolution of consciousness.
I have made it a good habit to take reading recommendations, even if the subject matter is bizarre, for example another friend recommend Journey of Souls: A Case Study of Life Between Lives by Michael Newton which I thoroughly enjoyed and also highly recommend.
Prometheus Rising is also in the same vein as the material in the latest C-Realm podcast, 'The Overview Effect', especially the use of the language of cybernetics to define consciousness and thought processes. So if you enjoyed that podcast then this book IS A MUST.
Expect reading excerpts from Prometheus Rising to follow. Just do yourself a favor and get it now, prepare to be wowed.
Imagine trying to make sense of an amalgam of Timothy Leary's eight neurological circuits, G.I. Gurdjieff's self-observation exercises, Alfred Korzybski's general semantics, Aleister Crowley's magical theorems, and the several disciplines of Yoga; not to mention Christian Science, relativity, quantum mechanics, and many other approaches to understanding the world around us. That is exactly what Robert Anton Wilson does in Prometheus Rising. In short, this is a book about how the human mind works and what you can do to make the most of yours.
