THE ATLAS OF THE REALITY TUNNEL

The Book of Lies

nature
Ninety-three chapters, most under a page, each a joke, a koan, a blasphemy or all three, annotated by the author with commentary that sometimes lies about the lie. Even its date misbehaves: published in 1912, dated 1913 on its own title page.

A direct ancestor of the Principia Discordia and of guerrilla ontology: self-cancelling scripture as a training device. Wilson built Masks of the Illuminati around its riddles.

Tehiru is a walk-in model of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life and its kindred ways — built to be explored, not read. This page is a still frame of one node; the app is where it moves.
