Wilson claimed this form of “enlightenment” was similar to Zen satori and the expanded states of “cosmic” consciousness discovered by the neuroscientist John C. Lilly. Lilly was the guy that did ketamine and LSD in sensory deprivation tanks to leave his body and explore “alternity”, or the hidden realm of infinite different dimensions and parallel universes outside our perception. So, in order for people to reach these “higher” states of consciousness, they basically have to be “initiated” into them through psychological trials, shamanic rituals, and strange forms of “asceticism”. In fact, Lilly had to visit a horrifying version of Hell before he could move on to the more heavenly worlds. Ironically, Crowley’s more esoteric initiation processes took place the astral realm too. And they required an initiate to cross the “Abyss” without losing their mind or committing suicide. Only then are they worthy of seeing the “light” at the end of tunnel. According to Wilson, this mystical and maddening state of mind can be induced through conspiracy theories and synchronicities, only he called it Chapel Perilous. This is why he wanted to spread Illuminati propaganda with his books. He wanted everyone to enter Chapel Perilous. He believed he’d help the masses go mad and reach “enlightenment” this way, ushering in the New Aeon and the Age of Aquarius. Nevertheless, the point is, all of this stuff is basically mainstream now. Even self-help manifestation gurus teach similar methods. And maybe the whole point is to reprogram people and prepare them to accept an Antichristic religion that offers “enlightenment” and even “godlike” abilities. It seems the whole world is being exposed to the “Abyss” so they will either go insane and cull themselves, or be initiated into the belief system of the New World Order. Like Wilson said, the final secret of the Illuminati is many researchers are already members of the Illuminati without knowing it.
