A framed portrait of Dr. Humphry Osmond, with a quote on the right. The quote reads: "We take a long time to get used to our world. We take many years, in fact. And when it changes—suddenly, dramatically—we may not like this." Dr. Humphry Osmond - end quote. In a letter to Aldous Huxley, Humphry Osmond, a world-renowned psychologist, psychiatrist and researcher, first coined the term "psychedelic" with the following rhyme: "to phathom hell or soar angelic, just take a pinch of psychedelic," in reply to Huxley's "to make this trivial world sublime, take half a gram of phanerothyme." In their exchange of letters, during the 1950s, they intended to come up with a word to describe, in general, the effects of mescaline. Osmond's amalgamated term "psychedelic" stuck. with Love, KC Quotes

Portrait of Miles Davis by Anton Corbijn. Miles seems to sit up close to us, the viewers, with both hands on his face, eight fingers spread from his mouth across his cheeks, hiding thumbs and jaw, likely resting his elbows on an unseen surface, outside and below the field of view. With eyes wide open, Miles peers into the lens with a deep glance that pierces the viewers, his pupils dilated widely as if eager to fit the whole cosmos and its shadow in his vision. A look filled with awe, curiosity, and a kind of surprised yet disturbed stillness, as if behind the camera something hitherto ineffable unfolds, something invisible to the viewers, and yet alive, only in their very own imagination. I remember seeing this photo for the furst time, on a poster, advertising an exhibition of Anton Corbijn's. It stopped me in my tracks and had me peering back into his eyes for quite a while, stunned. Nothing short of a most magical sight, it seems to me. KC, Love

That this spirit gradually dissipates is due to the world's coming to an end.

The "Pale Blue Dot" photo: Earth as seen by the Voyager 1 spacecraft, at a distance of six billion kilometers from the Sun, more than forty times the distance of Earth to the Sun. Shot originally in 1990, this photo inspired Carl Sagan to write his 1994 book "Pale Blue Dot" about Earth, our local, common ground in the Universe. After Voyager passed Saturn in 1980, Sagan had proposed to have this photo taken, as a final farewell picture. It took quite a while before he had his wish granted. About the photo, he wrote in his book: "Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there—on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam." image source: solarsystem.nasa.gov KC, Love

The poem, titled "Gold Leaves," by G. K. Chesterton, overlaying a photo of a tree bearing golden Autumn leaves, in Vondelpark, Amsterdam. The poem goes: "Lo! I am come to autumn, When all the leaves are gold; Grey hairs and golden leaves cry out The year and I are old. In youth I sought the prince of men, Captain in cosmic wars, Our Titan, even the weeds would show Defiant, to the stars. But now a great thing in the street Seems any human nod, Where shift in strange democracy The million masks of God. In youth I sought the golden flower Hidden in wood or wold, But I am come to autumn, When all the leaves are gold." KC, Love

Cover of the book, titled: A Non-Euclidean Perspective - Robert Anton Wilson's Politic Commentaries, 1960 - 2005. Published by Hilaritas Press, 2025 - www.hilaritaspress.com From the site—and the cover: "A Non-Euclidean Perspective is a unique combination of compassion and erudition that will light up your neural pathways like Times Square on New Year’s Eve. – Lewis Shiner, author of Glimpses Say what you like about the principles of anarchism, Robert Anton Wilson said it earlier, better, and funnier. – Ken MacLeod, author of The Star Fraction and Beyond The Hallowed Sky When today’s billionaires talk about liberty, they mean freedom from taxes and regulations. When Wilson wrote about liberty, he meant freedom from mental prisons and social control. His libertarianism stems from compassion and human connection, rather than greed or self-interest. The essays in A Non-Euclidean Perspective reveal a thinker as distant from today’s tech-bro libertarians as the teachings of Jesus are from prosperity gospel preachers. Where modern libertarians worship the market, Wilson celebrated human potential and warned against all forms of dogma and power — whether wielded by the state or a corporation. Wilson understood that true freedom requires breaking everyone’s chains, not building higher walls around private compounds. – Mark Frauenfelder, co-founder of Boing Boing Truly a volume of priceless wisdom from a multi-dimensional intellect! – Victor Koman, author of The Jehovah Contract and Kings of the High Frontier Wilson was an encyclopedic scholar of human folly, or maybe simply the folly of being human. Great tonic read! – Andrei Codrescu, author of The Disappearance of the Outside: a Manifesto For Escape" KC, Love

A quote from “The Trick Top Hat”, book two of the Schrödinger’s Cat Trilogy, written by author / philosopher Robert Anton Wilson. This image has the quote written out in white letters on a background, and comes adorned with a black-and-white portrait of Wilson, standing whilst holding a microphone during a lecture. The full quote reads “There is no governor anywhere. You are all absolutely free. There is no restraint that cannot be escaped. If anybody could go into dhyana at will, nobody could be controlled - by fear of prison, by fear of whips or electroshock, by fear of death, even. All existing society is based on keeping those fears alive, to control the masses. Ten people who know would be more dangerous than a million armed anarchists.” Basically by romanticizing quantum physics, Schrödinger’s Cat Trilogy gives the reader an idea of the limitless possibilities & probabilities at our fingertips, creating alternate timelines and parallel universes with every choice we make: until we decide Yes or No, No or Go, Dead or Alive, et cetera, any system remains in a maybe-state. More people involved makes for a larger amount of decisions, thereby enhancing the complexity of the maybe-state of the system. The three books contain stories, highlighting the lives of those entangled in universes outlined by three quantum mechanical model scenarios. One could read this trilogy by itself, but the character development of most personages continues from a previous work Wilson created with co-author Robert Shea, another trilogy, existing rather mutually exclusive, titled “Illuminatus!” - both trilogies, highly recommended.

The front cover of the print edition of the book titled "Lion of Light," designed by Richard Rasa, with AI renderings by Templedweller; written by Robert Anton Wilson on Aleister Crowley, published by Hilaritas Press. Mostly in various shades of gold on black, this artwork bears a portrait of mystic, poet, novelist, mountaineer, magician, painter and renowned occultist Aleister Crowley, facing the viewer or reader, with the left side of face obscured and the right side glowing as if reflecting sunlight. His right eye looks straight at us, with a deep, sincere and rather penetrating gaze, as if saying in silence: Do What Thou Wilt.

After such barrage of euphoric glossolalia, yielding clarity seems only fair: knowing the path that led to celebrating #MaybeDay on July 23, starts with leaving behind certain preconceived notions and reading Cosmic Trigger.

#maybe
Text only, reading part of the introduction of the book Cosmic Trigger 1 by Robert Anton Wilson: "This book deals with what I have called induced brain change, which Dr. John Lilly more resoundingly calls “metaprogramming the human bio-computer.” In simple Basic English, as a psychologist and novelist, I set out to find how much rapid re-organization was possible in the brain functioning of one normal domesticated primate of average intelligence — the only one on whom I could ethically perform such risky research — myself. Like most people who have historically attempted such “metaprogramming,” I soon found myself in metaphysical hot water. It became urgently obvious that my previous models and metaphors would not and could not account for what I was experiencing. I therefore had to create new models and metaphors as I went along. Since I was dealing with matters outside consensus reality-tunnels, some of my metaphors are rather extraordinary. That does not bother me, since I am at least as much an artist as a psychologist, but it does bother me when people take these metaphors too literally." - screenshot taken from RAW's homepage: https://rawilson.com/cosmic-trigger-final-secret-of-the-illuminati/
