Four on Reality

All matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there's no such thing as death, life is only a dream and we're the imagination of ourselves. - Bill Hicks

Reality and Life

Reality is the state of things as they actually exist, rather than as they may appear or may be thought to be. In a wider definition, reality includes everything that is and has been, whether or not it is observable or comprehensible. A still more broad definition includes everything that has existed, exists, or will exist, not just in the mind, or even more broadly also including what is only in the mind.

Historically, philosophers have sometimes considered reality to include nonexistent things such as "gold mountains" in a sense referred to as a subsistence, as well. By contrast existence is often restricted solely to being (compare with nature).
Reality is often contrasted with what is imaginary, delusional, in the mind, dreams, what is abstract, what is false, or what is fictional. To reify is to make more real, and to abstract is the opposite. The truth refers to what is real, while falsity refers to what is not. Fictions are not considered real.

It is always contrasted with what is not so included, as being not real, so the term is somewhat ambiguous in its contradictory usages.

Robert Anton Wilson on the Universe

Robert Anton Wilson never gives the straight truth, because he doesn't believe the truth is straight. It twists and turns into all sorts of strange dimensions, then eventually folds back into itself. It then looks completely ordinary, until it unexpectedly twists and turns again

8-Circuit Model of Consciousness - Robert Anton Wilson

According to the discussions and documentation by Robert Anton Wilson, Antero Alli, Christopher S. Hyatt, and Timothy Leary himself, each circuit available to an individual represents a "higher stage" of evolution. By "higher stage" it is meant that each circuit activated in a chain of circuits, within an ascending order, provides an evolutionary link to the evolution of a being, its environment and the previously activated neurological circuits or grids. In other words, each Higher Neurological Circuit that is activated provides a higher cognitive function within the entity that develops a technique to activate 'it'.

Robert Anton Wilson On The Acceleration To 2012

The Jumping Jesus Phenomenon is a humorous theory mentioned (and likely invented) by Robert Anton Wilson to describe the increasingly rapid doubling of human knowledge since the year 1 C.E. to the present. He mentions the phenomenon in a number of his philosophical stand-up comedy lectures, most notably in an hour and a half long seminar given in 1986 titled "The Acceleration of Knowledge". He also wrote down a version of the lecture in his book "Right Where You Are Sitting Now".

Who is Robert Anton Wilson?

Robert Anton Wilson described his work as an "attempt to break down conditioned associations--to look at the world in a new way, with many models recognized as models or maps and no one model elevated to the Truth." "My goal is to try to get people into a state of generalized agnosticism, not agnosticism about God alone, but agnosticism about everything."
