Book Reviews of Prometheus Rising

Book Review: Every Two Years I Read This Book Again...
Summary: 5 Stars

Prometheus Rising is one of my all-time favorite books.

After a friend of mine asked me to store some of his books, I looked through his stash and this one caught my attention.

It persuaded me to get out of my "belief" box. And it reminded me that despite the breath of one's knowledge in a subject area, you don't know everything. The book made my even question what I think I know as well. I love it!

The book asks you to not just read it, but to live it. You're given "exercises" to perform (some are very difficult; a few almost impossible; all, radical). Any of them can give you more keen insight into the workings of your own belief/thought processes and how much you've been programmed in our modern culture.

This book will offend many people because it will call your religious ideas into question. So it's not for the fundamentalists and the hardline zealots. But for me it actually became FUN when I realized that Wilson is trying to push my buttons.

Want a true challenge to see what you're really made of? This book will provide that for you. But after reading it you'll become a better human being and a little less robotic.

Also it's dense enough to come back to reread regularly, so you can try some of the exercises you might not have tried.

This book will be with me for the rest of my life. That's how good it is.

Summary of Prometheus Rising

Imagine trying to make sense of an amalgam of Timothy Leary's eight neurological circuits, G.I. Gurdjieff's self-observation exercises, Alfred Korzybskis 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.
