Prometheus Rising describes the landscape of human evolution and offers the reader an opportunity to become a conscious participant. In an astoundingly useful road map infused with humor and startling insight, Robert Anton Wilson presents the Eight Circuits of the Brain model as an essential guide for the effort to break free of imprinted and programmed behavior, Bob writes, "We are all giants, raised by pygmies, who have learned to walk with a perpetual mental crouch. Unleashing our full stature–our total brain power–is what this book is all about.”

Prometheus Rising eBook Robert Anton Wilson
I became a fan of Robert Anton Wilson after reading the Illuminatus Trilogy, which is by far the most mind bending bible of literal bull**** I have read in my life. The themes and scenarios depicted in the book were some of the most thought provoking and out there ideas I have ever taken from a novel. That being said it was a novel, and primarily just for ****s and giggles. This book however is more informative and definitely shows more of RAWs idealogies, which I'm sure anyone who has read The Illuminatus and liked it might be curious of. The book essential debriefs on 8 circuits of consciousness humans can, potentially, climb through as they grow and become more aware in life. The model is adopted from Dr. Timothy Leary, as he gives credit to in the book, but he does say and acknowledge that he applies his own thought to its interpretation. The concept of the 8 consciousness circuits definitely gives some strong insight onto the behavior of much of our species, especially describing a mass of the population as stuck on lower circuits, simply living just to eat, poop, work and ultimately meet the goal of giving birth and then falling back onto an eat/poop/work cycle until death. The book is definitely a psychological work, and while I am no psychologist or claim/ aspire to be, Wilson does a really good job putting his ideas into laymans terms, most simply by always bringing out the humorous side of any topic. Again, I'm not a psychologist, and don't want to claim this book as a serious recommendation for anyone seeking to study psychology, but its view points are definitely abstract and will make you question how your own mind is thinking at times.Product details

Prometheus Rising eBook Robert Anton Wilson Reviews
Didn't make it all the way through this book and forgot most of it, but what I do remember was the exercise of looking for quarters. Blew my mind and gave me a peek into a world that I always knew in my heart existed but scared the s*** out of me nonetheless!
I'll say right upfront that I thought that this book has some strange stuff in it in places, but readers should put that aside long enough to read through the whole thing. Don't let the cover art put you off either, readers; I know that the green guy creeped me out, but he is not really mentioned in the text. This book is well worth reading.
I found this book while looking around for something easy to get through on General Semantics. However, it is mostly concerned with the eight neurological circuits (bio-survival, emotional-territorial, semantic, moral, neurosomatic, neurogenetic, metaprogramming and quantum) that Timothy Leary was big on - don't panic, there is no need to do LSD to understand what is going on here. The author also includes discussion on other topics like yoga and quantum mechanics (no math required here) as well as on many interesting subjects that I for one had never heard of before as he goes along. If they are like me, readers will give wikipedia a real workout right after finishing each chapter to learn more on many of these topics. There are very thought provoking exercises as well - I still haven't found any quarters, but I may have not tried hard enough yet. It may take some people a while to get through the book as a result, but it is worth the time to do the outside study as needed and to do the exercises.
The author spends a lot of time on the first 4 circuits and less on the others which is understandable I guess as the latter are newer and less understood. The chapters on brainwashing are frightening and probably all too accurate - readers might want to give these some more thought after finishing them. There is much more presented that warrants further thinking by readers as well. For example, one might get some insight into why certain people that they know behave as they do and maybe even gain some insight as to their own behavior as well. As the book winds up, the author presents some ideas about where we might be heading as individuals and as a species; some of his predictions did not come true, at least not yet, but there seems to be a ring of truth at least in much of this.
I found the book a little disorganized in many spots, but readers should be able to follow it for the most part anyway. I did find several apparent errors in the book early on, but noticed fewer as it went. Please note that sometimes at least it seems that the author meant melancholic when he wrote choleric - this may save some readers a lot of time trying to figure out Chapter 4.
Despite some real strangeness and disorganization here and there, most readers probably will learn a great deal from this book - at least if they are ready. If anyone wonders what I mean by that, they will have to read the book.
Highly recommended, but be prepared as there may be some shocks.
I bought this book after hearing many good things about it. I mainly expected to read a book regarding sociology and psychology, written by a very well-liked author. This was the first Robert Anton Wilson book I ever read, so I wasn't quite sure what to expect.
This book did not meet my expectations, it far exceeded them. Never before has a book produced such change in my way of thinking. My brain was literally completely reprogrammed after reading Prometheus rising. Every facet of thought that goes through my mind is different. I treat people differently. This is because I genuinely feel that I understand others, and myself much better now.
I could not reccomend any book more highly than this. Also reccomended is the sequal, Quantum Psychology.
This is one of the handful of books that really changed how I lived.
Until his death this past Spring of 2007, Robert Anton Wilson continued to prefer Leary's 8-Circuit Model as the best rough description of stages of development of consciousness, which he originally refined in the early 80's. While sarcastic and purposefully absurd at times, his viewpoints are nevertheless helpful in assisting us to look beyond our present, comfortable "reality tunnels", to considering alternatives. In order for us to evolve in consciousness, we must change it, and changing it can be uncomfortable (and potentially dangerous in many ways).Oliver Wendell Holmes said "A mind stretched around a new idea never regains its original demensions" - this book, when studied and thoughtfully applied, can be a set of maps for new territory. I found "Prometheus" to be a fascinating essay from a prolific, controversial writer -worth the effort.
Read. This. Book. If you've made it this far, you don't need me to tell you to do it. Just do it.
Finished chapter one yesterday morning. Found a quarter laying on the ground last night. Okay you have my attention sir!
