Synopsis
Cosmic Trigger deals with a process of deliberately induced brain change. This process is called 'initiation' or 'vision quest' in many traditional societies and can loosely be considered some dangerous variety of self-psychotherapy in modern terminology. I do not recommend it for everybody. The main thing I learned in my experiments is that 'reality' is always plural and mutable. -- From the Preface

From the Author
"I don't see how to take death seriously. I look forward without dogmatic optimism, but without dread. I love you all and I deeply implore you to keep the lasagna flying."

He said Model Agnosticiam consists of never regarding any model or map of the universe with total 100% belief or total 100% denial. Bob's Maybe Logic inspired the creation of the Maybe Logic Academy. Timothy Leary, who contributed a Foreword to this book in 1977, was a world-renowned psychologist, a defrocked Harvard professor, a relentless champion of brain change, a reputed drug guru, a stand-up philosopher, and a prisoner of the Nixon administration.
