Yes. I can confirm mindfuckery. Although I warn you that some of his ideas may seem a little out there.

Prometheus Rising only really makes sense if you have done a lot of psychedelic drugs. Otherwise it's like reading the brain droppings of a dirty old hippie.

Read the Illuminatus Trilogy by RAW and Shea instead. If you like that you can do the whole Prometheus Rising thing after.

Or read the Principia Discordia,
that is if you dont mind the 50s humour.
