books by Peter Lamborn Wilson     books:       Semiotext (E) Sf7 reviews Bart Plantenga Autonomedia, 1991 Delicious, original collection of serious Sci Fi And no, the material presented in this anthology is not for the faint of heart. While some of the pieces may not fit the Science Fiction stereotype >aliens, outer space, etc.< all of them test new waters, explore deeper into the recesses of the human mind, and present the varying truths found in unique, raw, and above all, fun (at least imho) formats. Don't misunderstand - it serves up its ...             Recognize8 reviews Glen E. Friedman Burning Flags Press, 2005 Looking head on Glen E. Friedman is an artist that keeps us off our heels. In RECOGNIZE, we find ourselves in a familiar place, off the busy streets, and looking head-on at what we often let pass overhead and unnoticed. We all have been there, more concerned with the destination rather than being in the moment and enjoying the window seat. So few of us have really stopped to look. Thankfully, Glen has captured ...             Green Hermeticism: Alchemy and Ecology2 reviews Peter Lamborn Wilson, Christopher Bamford, ... Lindisfarne Books, 2007 An impressive, thought-provoking, and much-needed work I cannot rave enough about this book. I forget exactly where I heard about it, but given the dearth of material on ecological spirituality/magic, especially outside of a shamanic or neopagan perspective, I fairly jumped at a chance to pick this text up. This is not a how-to book, with the exception of one chapter. It is primarily rather dense and inspiring theoretical discussion of the links ...             The Drunken Universe: An Anthology of Persian Sufi Poetry3 reviews Peter Lamborn Wilson Omega Publications (NY), 1999 mystical poetry When I brought this book, I was not that interested in poetry, I convinced myself that since I liked Peter L Wilson, that this would be a good place to start.

Contrary to much popular opinion of Islam as a monolithic giant, in its midst are the 'heretics' that put the fun back in religion. Considering that such figures as Jesus and Muhammad were considered 'heretics' in their day the title is actually a compliment. I picked this book up in a second hand bookstore on a whim. I have revisited it several times and continue to do so often. At first ...             Shower of Stars: The Initiatic Dream in Sufism and Taoism (Autonomedia Book Series)3 reviews Peter Lamborn Wilson Autonomedia, 1996 WAKE UP AND DREAM In his usual style of scholarship mixed with social commentary, Mr. Wilson has written a book which is a jewel of great price.

Ecstatic dreaming and automatic writing are both ways in which the 'unmanifest' may be ...             Angels: Messengers of the Gods (Art and Imagination)1 review Peter Lamborn Wilson Thames & Hudson, 1994 Angels in the Western Religious Traditions In this book, Peter L.
