Do Not Go Gently Into That Good Night. Rest in Peace - Robert Anton Wilson

I first read Cosmic Trigger when I was a Senior in Highschool. At this time I was heavily into psychedelic drugs, and RAW became somewhat of a guru, and cosmic father. A Father I never met, but the fact that he lived somewhere on the Earth gave me comfort in day to day life. I am not going to give you a run down of his mystical life, but I will tell you how I feel. Although he left the living as of yesterday, he is only a dimension or two away from me still. RAW has always been one of my heroes, and over the years his writings have kept me positive in the times or "eris" or chaos. RAW turned me on the one of the most powerful methods of living I have ever come across. The actualizing and seeking of Synchronicity "temporally coincident occurrences of acausal events." When life seems mundane I have always turned to Prometheus Rising or any of his other novels, fiction or non fiction. I also learned from RAW to always remain "agnostic" towards the conspiracies, and magickal workings of the world, to spare yourself insanity. It's actually really hard to write this right now.

He was a great occultist, father, teacher, inspiration, hero of northern california, irishman, and pillar of the 20th century. I only wish I could have met him, but I know him somewhere beyond material worlds. Thank you RAW. HAIL ERIS!

Do Not Go Gently Into That Good Night

Various medical authorities swarm in and out of here predicting I have between two days and two months to live. I think they are guessing. I remain cheerful and unimpressed. I look forward without dogmatic optimism but without dread. I love you all and I deeply implore you to keep the lasagna flying.

Please pardon my levity, I don't see how to take death seriously. It seems absurd.
