Below is a transcript of an interview with Robert Anton Wilson:

"Information flow is accelerating, as several studies have indicated and as I have documented in a few of my books. Information acceleration leads to fractal functions, according to mathematician Theodore Gordon. Fractal functions are always unpredictible. Okay?

Well, most people don't know enough math and sociology to understand that simple paragraph. All they know is that everything is getting more unpredictible and that looks spooky to them. (The unpredictible tends to spook all mammals...) Unable to grasp what is happening (accelerated evolution), most domesticated primates feel spooked and threatened and look around for some Evil Force to blame. Conspiracy theories will continue to proliferate as long as the acceleration does not include an acceleration of general education...but that will have to happen as the whole world moves into high gear. Then we'll have more understanding (science) and less demonology (conspiracy theory.)

I am 100 per cent in favor of studying conspiracy theories because, next to quantum mechanics, they represent the best test of how well you can handle ambiguity and uncertainty. Most people at present cannot handle indeterminacy at all and generally evade it by rushing to premature certitude. If you really study conspiracy theory carefully, examining all its flavors, the result is like studying quantum theory and all of its conflicting models. You either go bonkers or you learn to think beyond the aristotelian either/or logic of our culture.

The best way to study conspiracy theory without swallowing one theory whole is to prepare yourself by a thorough training in clasical logic, fuzzy logic, general semantics and quite a bit of Zen-Sufi humor, until you have internalized the realization that Universe is infinite chaos and any model you make at a date cannot possibly contain all of it but only represents the mixture of your knowledge and ignorance at that date."

>>Everyone seem's to have lost it?<<

No I don't agree...

What has everyone lost?

This "timewave zero" phenomena is related to the Mayan culture time calandar as well as what the Hindu Religion calls the "End of the Fourth and final phase of the Kaliyuga" (the age of darkness). Both the Hindus and the Mayans believed we would be going from a dark, dangerous, immoral,nonspiritual culture to one of enlightenment and truth.

I'm still trying to find a Christian interpretation. I saw it somewhere on the net and like a fool I didn't save it. It mentioned something about a return to the earth by the "acended masters" to help humanity into the next epoch. Jesus, St.Germain, and others.

Lets hope i'm right because right now it's HUXLEY'S BRAVE NEW WORLD incarnate.

I believe people like McKenna, Nostradamus, Ezekiel, Leary, Einstein, Joan of Arc, and others were able to tap into hyperspace, operating outside of the normal boundaries of time and space. They used fasting, prayer, DMT, LSD, sweat lodges, dancing, tantra sex, and other methods to actuate neural pathways that are normally attuned to sensory input.

the idea of hyperspace goes way back to Plato (427-347 B.C.), who suggested in his Cave allegory, that we are like prisoners of the 3-d world, identifying ourselves with our 3-d shadows, rather than the hyper-dimensional creatures we really are. Plato never used the word hyper-dimensional, but the idea is clearly in his story of the projection of the prisoner's shadows (a 2-d projection) on the cave wall. The prisoners because they are so securely chained, come to identify themselves with their shadows cast by a fire behind them; and they believe they, as shadows, are interacting with the shadows cast by people walking behind them. One of the prisoners breaks free of his chains and escapes to the world outside the cave, where he sees the full 3-d world. He can now really interact with the other 3-d people and objects. However, he goes back to try to rescue his former fellow prisoners. They mock him and challenge him to tell them what he thinks he sees in their shadow world. Because he has been in the bright sunlight outside the cave, his eyes- are not as keenly. adjusted to the dark shadow-world in which his fellow prisoners live. They can make out the details of the shadows better than he can. This proves to them that he is merely mad.

The Physicists and Mathematicians Saul-Paul Sirag, Michio Kaku, Stephen Hawking, and Einstein himself, all feel there are at least 10 dimensions.
