I only bothered to post because of your quads. Don't waste this recommendation. This is your golden ticket.

Is pic related any good? What exactly is it about? Does it appeal to any hermetic beliefs?

Bob Wilson, Tim Leary, John Lilly, Robert Monroe, Gurdjieff, McKenna, Crowley.

These are some of the guys who affirm life, affirm that change is possible, that we can live our most fully realized lives, and show you how.

did somebody say deprogram?

as the comic hints, a bunch of words, no matter how well-meaning or sensible, are just that.

A story may shock, enthrall, motivate, even teach. But to truly wake up, that takes work. The book I posted teaches you what that means, and how to go about this work. So, clearly, much more directly about "waking up"
