Ok, now that I'm almost done with the first part of The Illuminatus! Trilogy by Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson, I really want to play the INWO card game again, now that I'm understanding the source material better. Besides, I kind of like having the Diciples of Cthulhu controlling the Religious Reich and The Society for Creative Anarchism. (I haven't played in ages, but as I recall, it is kinda fun.)

I'm still convinced that the writing style is along the lines of Kurt Vonnegut Jr., and the set-up (multiple points of view from just about every character) was used later by Keith Hartmann in his excellent Gorilla mysteries. All the drug references though...Did people actually survive some of the chemicals they describe in here? A little bit of THC is one thing, but THC, LSD, peyote, and PCP all at once? I think I'd be a raving paranoid after that as well.

And yes, I know I'm posting an in-progress book review to this journal rather than [livejournal.com profile] thereadingroom or [livejournal.com profile] glbt_books, or any of the other fine reading commies on here. What can I say? Maybe it's all really just a plot...

but this is the first time I've had a chance.

I thought I was paranoid until I started talking with Greg at work.
As I'm sure many of you know, the Mayan calender ends in December 2012. According to my own research, that marks the end of the 6th sun. Supposedly, the last 5 suns have had the qualities associated with them. Now, Greg was telling me the other night that he heard that the sun is now burning helium rather than hydrogen, so now the light is different. He claims that this means the light has changed and plant life will start dying off, followed by the animals not long after. Personally, I haven't heard anything like that, but what do I know?
Of course, with some of the other research I've been doing into conspiracy and unexplained phenomena, this gets some interesting things going on in my mind. For instance, what if, like Charles Fort suggested, we are just breeding stock for extraterrestrials? If the concepts is psycho-fundy-Xtianity are correct, that would give us the conclusion that when the rapture happens, all the psycho xtians will be lifted up by aliens to be used in breeding experements to avoid planetary extinction. The mind boggles.
See, the problem with conspiracy and phenomena is that it makes sense at 3:00 in the morning when you read it. Like the theory that the Masons are doing the gnostic thing by trying to end the world to recreate it in a perfect way. Or aliens helped us jump a few rungs in evolution.
Oi Vey!
