R.A.W. left the mortal body today.

GAC and I were big fans of his works, the Illumatus Trilogy, Schrodinger’s Cat, etc.  In fact, the name GoldenAppleCorp came directly from his works.

I couldn’t begin to summarize his philosophies or works in a short post, but they involved meditation, drugs, sex, and all sorts of good stuff.  He helped Timothy Leary develop the 8-Circuit Model of Consciousness, and described it at length in his book Prometheus Rising, with exercises and whatnot to allow you to open those extra circuits.

When I was 23, I read it, and while I didn’t see myself entering the metahuman consciousness that’s advertised, it did do me some good, which stays with me to this day.

I raise a glass to the dude today, and hope that maybe GAC can show him the ropes in whatever they’re in now.
