Cain contra Robert Anton Wilson

[Triple Zero]

it's also a heap of steaming shit in some places. but i still recommend it, it's got one of the most clear explanations of the 8-circuit model of consciousness i've read so far.

[LMNO]

Quick question, are the books Prometheus Rising and Cosmic Trigger worthwhile to read?  I ask because I already have a list of books I want/have to read and I would rather not add more to it for no good reason.

Yes, and yes.

[Vene]

  Damn you!  Now I've added them to my mental list.

If you want to know how Mr. Spock connects with the Illuminati, or be able to find quarters on the street, yes.

[Bebek Sincap Ratatosk]

Mr. Spock connects with the Illuminati

AND Peyote!

[hooplala]

Yeah, but thats obvious.

[Dido]

Learning how to find quarters was useful. Especially when modified into learning how to find 5€ bills. 

[Triple Zero]

the day i tried it, i lost 50ct in a battle with a cigarette machine. i have found some money in the mean time, but as far as i've been keeping count i'm still 5cts short.

Strangely, all I've ever found was homeless people.

You need to hold them up by the feet and shake vigorously.

There's quarters I tell you!

I'm in the middle of the quarter exercise, and I'm thinking it might boost my chances if I widen the scope to include nickels and dimes.

In my experience it decreased the effectiveness. I've come to consider the Quarter exercise as a 'pattern matching' exercise... that is, if we concentrate on pattern X regularly, our brains seem more likely pick up on that pattern when its noticed. Adding lots of patterns, in my case at least, seemed to dilute the experience.

Change it to the number 23 then... you'll find them.

[Cainad (dec.)]

Meh, I tried that. Had some fun, then got bored.

Looking for 23's does not get me moneys.

I wouldn't rely on the quarter experiment for teh monies. I got lucky because I was on OSU campus a lot and apparently students have holes in their pockets. If you're not in an area where people drop quarters... I will be very surprised and somewhat excited if you find lots
