Episode notes

The mindset of being receptive and seeing oneself as part of a network is essential. Receptivity is highlighted as a key factor in personal growth and understanding. Transformative literature, such as 'Cosmic Trigger', has the power to deeply impact individuals, leading to repeated readings and a desire to absorb every detail. This type of literature can be so impactful that it drives individuals to embark on quests for related works, showcasing the profound influence of books on personal development.

In this episode, Mike Gathers chats with Joseph Matheny, multidisciplinary artist and explorer of both the wilderness and the esoteric. Joe was an old friend of Robert Anton Wilson (Joe was also Bob's chauffeur for a while), and he was talking to Bob a lot when the book Reality Is What You Can Get Away With was published, and part of the efforts in trying to get the screenplay produced.
