So I recently finished reading Robert Anton Wilson’s (R.A.W.'s) book “Cosmic Trigger.” Anyone familiar with meme magic will intuitively get many of the stories that he relates, but that’s not the point of this post. The point of this post is to comment on R.A.W.’s open discussion of mediumship and communication with higher intelligences (H.I.'s). To be fair, he doesn't openly endorse any of this, stating time and time again that he doesn't believe anything, but he certainly devotes an abundance of his time in this book to telling tales of people who have allegedly spoken with H.I.'s for the overall benefit of our race.

What makes his book exceptionally interesting is that he details various big names in the esoteric field of the time when this book was written (1977) and the overall hope and technological cusp that humanity was on at the time of his writing. Now, after about 40 years of history, we can evidently see that his shiny vision of the future, of the positive change that these external forces were going to bring to humanity, came to naught. We are living in a world that appears to have less freedom, less potential than the advent of the 80's. This is a stark contrast against the hopeful focus of the book.

I make this thread because we all know of Kek, and we're familiar with Moloch, and we're also aware of grand social movements towards globalization that appear to be driven by a religious/cultish symbolic means. We seem to be caught in a similar situation as R.A.W. outlined in the late 70's, but the scale of the engagement has changed, and the H.I. actors no longer seem to be tied to Sirius.

Is it possible that the act of reaching out, and indulging ourselves (from a species perspective) in a hand up actually leads to us sacrificing our power, taking a nap, and sinking deeper into our existential stupor? Or, are we forging our own H.I. through various interpretations of Kek worship, and fighting back against the malevolent forces threatening humanity?
