Heracles prepare thy sword and strike true because this week we cleave Forethought from Jupiter’s rock and bear witness to Robert Anton Wilson’s “Prometheus Rising!” So often is this text considered on the show it was about time we dedicated an episode to it… Join me as we take a long, luxurious romp through the evolutionary crude of the first two circuits in the eight circuit model of consciousness so eloquently described in this classic of esoteric psychology
