5.0 out of 5 stars A genuine genius at his best., 7 Mar 2001
By A Customer
For anyone new to the genius of Robert Anton Wilson, stand by for something very different! This is more factual and less occult than Cosmic Trigger I, and more easily understood than Cosmic Trigger III. For me, Wilson gets the balance just right in this one.

Cosmic Trigger II is semi-autobiographical, presented mainly in short sections of one or two pages which can mostly be read separately from each other. It is a good book for opening up at random now and again, and pondering on one of these short chapters. You might get some sobering observations on the human condition, or a bit of enlightenment and a really good laugh! There are also however, many interconnecting themes running throughout the book. Along the way, just about every belief system in human experience is called into question. A whole range of political, religious, scientific, and philosophical points of view are embraced and/or seriously challenged, not to mention the mechanical thought patterns of the reader as well. By continually shifting his and your perception, Wilson gets you to WAKE UP!

A brief selection from the table of contents might give newcomers at least some idea of the range of this book: A Sociological Horoscope, Attack of the Killer Spider, Cosmic Economics, The Square Root of Minus One and Other Mysteries. The author suggests that the important lesson of Cosmic Trigger II can be summed up as follows: "1. Never believe totally in anybody else's Belief System. 2. Never believe totally in your own Belief System." Excellent. Read this book and free your mind!

3.0 out of 5 stars Watch Out, 22 Feb 1998
By A Customer
This book is a collection of very short essays that (as a whole) does not even come close to approaching the quality and originality of the first book in the series. Vol. 2 is a decent read, but if you are expecting more of Cosmic Trigger Vol. 1, you will be very disappointed. This book is much more biographical than Vol. 1 and less "out there". RAW details growing up in a sheltered neighborhood, living in Ireland, the Mafia connections to the Vatican and the CIA, and many other things. All in all, it was interesting, but after the excellent Vol.1, I was expecting something a little more cosmic in scope.
