Hey guys, not sure if you are avid fans of Robert Anton Wilson or not, but this morning I found an article on boing boing (love that site) that says the man that brought us many books on spiritual enlightenment is in some serious trouble. Apparently he is reaching the end of his life, with the inability to walk and with troubles talking and swallowing, and wants to die comfortably in his home. But, due to the lack of funds, he is unable to afford proper care, let alone next months rent! Take a look...link. Here too... and along with an Update. Since many of us aren't able to afford to send much (if anything at all) we all could do a little bit and spread the word. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Here's also a t-shirt for sale, with donations from the purchase being sent to Mr. Wilson.

Hey, wanted to let you know an esteemed friend of Robert's sent me a note of thank you...

"That's terrific. I imagine all the traffic we can get going about this, the better. At least if he has the money to live and the support of his community, he can focus more on the will to live.

I'll forward your message to the people at Bob's house, as well.

So, if any of you have a blog or friends, spread the word.

I'm not sure if any of you subscribe to New Falcon's newsletter or not, but here is one that was forwarded to me from human-powered.

We are sad to announce that Robert Anton Wilson's health continues to deteriorate, and ongoing medical costs have depleted his resources. (For those of you who believe that being a "successful" author means that you make a lot of money from your work...well, that's rarely the case.)

During October, New Falcon Publications will be donating 7% of all online orders to Bob's fund. We hope that you will help, too.

Any donations can be made to Bob directly to the Paypal account, [email protected].

You can also send a check payable to Robert Anton Wilson to:
Dennis Berry
c/o Futique Trust
P.O. Box 3561
Santa Cruz, CA 95063

If you'd like more information, go to:
<http://www.rushkoff.com/2006/10/robert-anton-wilson-needs-our-help.php>

or Bob's website:
< http://www.rawilson.com/>

Warmly,

Nick Tharcher


So, if there was ever a better time to stock up on those Golden Dawn books now's it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Thanks guys for taking the time to check it out!!
