Sex and Drugs: A Journey Beyond Limits
This book takes a rather interesting point of view that will not sit well with those who do not think... To do the quality and type of work pointed out here is well beyond the capabilities of the average. Instead of believing what the media shamans tell you or the scientistic-priests ( you know, the so-called credible scientists that tell the world with a straight face that they know, a priori, that anything beyond their personal experience cannot possibly be true... ), an intelligent reviewer might find themselves practicing sex, pranyama and the ingestion of THC while keeping strict and accurate journals that may be peer reviewed.

As an aside, WHO THE ... CAN TELL ANOTHER WHAT ENLIGHTENMENT IS? Wilson points at "Higher Consciousness", if you will forgive the play on words there, but does not preach WHAT it will be for anyone. Hmmm... Seems strange that people seeking enlightenment still sound as if they KNOW what it IS. Some reviewers crack me up.

Errors not withstanding a very good book.
It is not suprising to me that this is so good. Robert Anton Wilson's work in general is excellent: informative and entertaining.

To the Individual that posted the "of course" attack. Don't be so dogmatic and close minded. If so many people through out history have found these techniques and substances useful, maybe there is something to it

take more dope to become enlightened!
Here we go again--Leary's disciple R. A. Wilson is promoting drug use to reach "higher" states of consciousness. He's also a big fan of that old egomaniacal phony Aleister Crowley, of course. If Wilson ever got a clue what real enlightenment is he would have to repudiate many of his books, and this one in particular. Don't hold your breath waiting for it--like Leary, he'll go down waving the hippie flag all the way.
