All Hail Eris!
On behalf of his children and those who cared for him, deepest love and gratitude for the tremendous support and lovingness bestowed upon us.

Farewell brother, father, sister, mother.
IAO!!!, 93,God speed, 23!!
I'm in the middle of watching The I In the Triangle right now. Decided to check if Bob had any words of wisdome for us today.
You're my only Hero, Bob.
You're missed already.
We WILL carry on your work.
If you by chance re-incarnate, please come back as something that can speak and write.
I'm going to pick out a star and think of it as you. And imagine you watching this crazy place, and laughing hopefully (meaning laughing with hope).
Good bye Robert Anton WIlson.
Good bye.
hail eris!
may you revel in the mysteries and all infinities
for eternities.
I was just singing a song via IM to my discordian chum.
"You don't own me... I'm not one of your little toys."
I guess I was speaking about the human body. Its hard to talk about ownership on this planet when we don't even really own our own bodies. We lease them.
I think you got a pretty good ride out of your vessel, Bob.
Thanks for making sense of Leary's 8 brain-circuit model. Thanks for teaching me about the Illuminati without making me despair and succumb to black helicopter moments of paranoia.
Thanks for all the models and the ability to smash and reshape my own.
Peace the Spork out!
good bye
"Unto Robert from whose eyes the veil of life hath fallen may there be granted the accomplishment of his true Will; whether he wills absorption in the Infinite, or to be united with his chosen and preferred, or to be in contemplation, or to be at peace, or to achieve the labour and heroism of incarnation on this planet or another, or in any Star, or aught else, unto him may there be granted the accomplishment of his will; yea, the accomplishment of his will."
Farewell...
LAShTAL
Farewell, and thank you.
Thank you for your inspiration.
FNORD!
I'll make sure to take some time tonight listening to Bob speak to us from Sirius....
Travel well, Bob. Oh, and thanks....
Thank you for sharing everything you have throughout the years... I am glad your last days were spent in relative peace and comfort... we'll be seeing you again...
"And so it is that we, as men, do not exist until we do; and then it is that we play with our world of existent things, and order and disorder them, and so it shall be that non-existence shall take us back from existence and that nameless spirituality shall return to Void, like a tired child home from a very wild circus."
--Principia Discordia, pg 00058
Thanks for being a part of the circus, Bob; it was an awfully impressive act.
Thank you for being a wonderful teacher and inspiration in my life. You made the world a better place.
My brother, you were like a father to me. I will sorely miss our conspiratorial whispers, our grins, our sips of Jameson's, our puffs on the balcony, nodding to the Buddha and staring out to sea.
Love eternal. Dove Sta Memora.
This is very odd, because about a half hour ago, I knew Bob had gone on. I knew it. I felt compelled to check the website. And here it is, and on 1/11, too.
Bob is on to the greatest mystery now. How's the old hymn go -- the one who goes is happier than those he leaves behind.
To Bob's family and all those who cared for the man who gave us all so much, thank you. Please take care of yourselves. And let us all know what we may do to help you.
Farewell my friend and Godspeed.
:(
I looked up this blog site for the first time today after finishing my fourth reading of 'Cosmic Trigger I'. WOW!
Even though you're now kickin' it up somewhere in the tunnel down the hall, I'll be seeing you....
Mark
Thanks for everything. My heart aches with joy.
Bye Robert,
You'll never know the lives you have touched and the eyes you have opened.
See you after the circus, Bob
Goodbye, Bob... thanks again for all the intelligence and laughs. May Eris be with you wherever you are.
Bob,
Until we meet again...
Be in Peace.
Condolences to his family.
Rest in peace. Bob has influenced me more than any other single person, and I know I'm not alone.
I can say without hesitation that Robert Anton Wilson's writings changed my life. I regret that I only got to see him speak once (about 15 years ago at the Masons Temple in Santa Monica).
Goodbye, Bob. Thanks for opening my third eye. ;-)
Farewell Beloved Satellite
I'm cut up, and yet happy.
I'm crying, and yet content.
Eternal love and gratitude to you Bob; and love and support to all the family and carers.
Dove Sta Memora
See you in the next life, its been fun. You will be remembered forever.
"The Illuminatus Trilogy" immanentized my Eschaton. Hail Eris!
So long Bob
Ewige Blumenkraft!
Ta, Bob.
Sail bonnie ship like a bird on the wing onward the sailors cry, carry the lad that's born to be king over the sea to Skye. Loud the wind howels, loud the waves roar, thunderclaps rend the air, baffled our foes, stand by the shore, follow they will not dare. Though the waves heave, soft will ye sleep, ocean's a royal bed, rocked in the deep, Flora will keep watch by your weary head.
Robert you will forever be in my heart & mind, Kansha! Aho! Love, & comfort to Robert Anton Wilson's family, peace be with you all.
Tamara & Ishtar Rising
Praise Bob!
Oh, and that other "Bob", too. You know, whatisname, the dork with the pipe.
Yeah, that one.
Thanks...
give the doggiez from Sirius a pat for me Bob
you are and will always be one of my heroes
peace
dave
Farewell teacher. I will continue to lend out your books to my friends to have them come back a little more enlightened, as always.
Bon Voyage Bob . . .
Give'm hell on the other side!
He's dancing, now, just beyond our sight.
May your work Live On and Your Spirit Permeate the void.
Thanks for waking me up.
Goodbye, you magnificent bastard. You join the ranks of Bill Hicks, Frank Zappa, and Hunter S. Thompsons: for decades frustrated malcontents like me will be saying, "You know who we really need now?" and thinking of you.
Thanks.
Cheers, old man.
Thanks.
Fnord!
Fare thee well, my friend.
See you on the other side.
You kept me thinking outside the box for most of my life. Farewell.
The only possible immortality lies in the respect of those still living - hence RAW will live on a long while yet in the hearts and minds of those who loved his work, as well as those who knew him personally. Bon voyage, Mr. Wilson.
Goodbye.
I'll see you when I see you.
Bye Bob. Guess it's up to us now. You'll be missed, but only because I have terrible aim.
We'll set a place for you at the table Bob. There's always a place for you.
xoxoxoxo
See you in the next world, man.
I hope I will manage to read everything you ever published before I follow you. I'm still young, so I guess I'll manage.
Thanks for the ride, man.
thanks for all the thoughts, Bob.
Just yesterday Val and I read him all of Arlen's poems (posted on his site). The final poem was her haiku about death. It was a great comfort to him I think. Love Mimi
Reality is what you make of it.
Hail Eris! All hail Discordia!
Thanks for the leads, Bob, I'm still following them in my own way.
Farewell, sir, and thank you for taking the "is" out of my life.
Thanks for the thoughts, the memories, the inspiration.... we will never forget, and we'll remember to not be sad, but hopeful, as you would have wanted
Much love and thanks for your serious jokes and funny wisdom.
Farewell.
You will be remembered.
Rest in happiness.
Goodbye Grand CosmicCentral Admin.
Pleasant Trip o Journey...
The Stars seem shooting..or damn ma dewie eyes..

'It's time to fly...'
Farewell. Thanks for all your contributions to this life on Earth.
farewell bob. May you be with Arlen, your beloved.
love is real
not fade away
I hope your next trip is as good or better than your last one.
Auf Wiedersehen, du lustiger Lurch, Heil dir, deinem Geiste, in Ewigkeit, Amen.
Die amerikanischen Hörnchen wandern wieder, so denn, ehret die Unkontrollierten.
mahola, bob
Rise in Peace olde friend
Your work will last much longer than your body. Thanks for making a difference in my life.
Overall, there is a smell of fried onions.
Overall, there is a smell of fried onions.
Thank you for everything.
farewell.
93 RAW. I never met you, and I know we'd have had some interesting stories to share. I'm quite proud to have shared your written works through my bookstore for many years.

RAW gave me many hours of reading pleasure, and changed my whole view of the world.
I hope that whatever happens after death is cool, and that h's having a great time.
My best to his family and friends.
Hail Eris!, and watch out for the fnords
Wotan better watch out.. Bob is here!
How dare you to die. :(
Good riddance.
Hey, SOMEONE had to throw an apple in here....

to really love one must let go
go Bob and never turn back
like an arrow from a bow
thx for all the fnords, your tribe will keep the lasagna flying
Happy trails to you until we meet again.
Happy trails to you, keep smilin' until then.
Who cares about the clouds when we're together?
Just sing a song and bring the sunny weather.
Happy trails to you 'till we meet again.

Hail Eris

Hope you packed a toothbrush
Hail Eris
Peace Love and Disco,

"How dare you to die. :("
you said it, paniq!
Chao, baby.
poor raw, that blows.
Damn. You're one of my heroes, Bob. I'd hoped to meet you someday.
Perhaps I still will.
Thank you for showing me ways.
Will catch up with you some other time.
Take care.
One of the last great visionaries of our time. The world sorely needs more RAWs.
Thank you for everything, Bob.
See ya soon enough...
Eris reclaims her own at last
So long,Bob. Thanks for the universe.
Say hi to St. Peter for me, Bob, and keep all those angels on their toes.
Thank you for being part of this world.
Hail Eris!
In the words of William Burroughs -
It ain't no sin
To take off your skin
And dance around in your bones...
Farewell fella,
john higgs
You will always be missed.
Thank you for all the good you have done for the world.
wow, just wow. . .
Thanks for inspiring me, and helping to illuminate the path. Mahalo and farewell.
Bob was an inspiration, and a great thinker. The world gained so much from him, and we've all lost something.
Thanks for your writing. You opened my mind to quite a few ideas in your time, and always with humour and humanity.
Quite an act to follow.
23.
Take it easy, Bob.
Good to know you.
Thanks again.
i think i just felt the world get stupider.
love.
Farewell man.

Joyce, Crowley and Jung now have a fourth for bridge. Hail Eris, and farewell!
So long, and thanks for all the fnords...
You'll be missed dearly.
Please let us know how it goes out there as your voyage continues on.
Alas, another true hero falls...
You will be mourned.
Hail Eris.
Thanks for everything.
Welcome home!
Farewell and godspeed on the next big part of your journey. It was a privilege to have met you.
Goodbye, Bob. Thanks.
RIP RAW
i think it's ridiculous to left messages for dead people on their blogs, but i can't fight the feeling of 'LOSING' a professor. i'm speechless, even knowing he's ok.
and let's thrown a discordian party, he would love that ((=
FNORD GALERE!
You will be missed.
"Bullshit makes

Good bye, you were one of those who inspired my life. You will be missed.

So Long, Pope Wilson. You made me who i am. I hope that you Mindfuck the underworld.
goodbye RAW. thank you graciously.
And another of Her crazy luminous gifts retires to Limbo. Hope to see you there, Bob. I'll buy you a spliff and a drink.
Namaste,

FAREWELL AND ALL HAIL ERIS!
Thanks for getting me stoned that time with Timothy Leary. Bon voyage!
all hail discordia and a great man and teacher.
he's missed already!
be well Bob, you showed me paths, and for that I thank you!
OffOn/OnOn Bob was going fast and is now gone.
So glad you were here to guide me.
See you.
thanks for the mind fucking. here's to a smooth transition to the next thing..
Send us a postcard Bob!
Fair thee well....maverick of the mind
Robert Anton Wilson was a verb and not a noun. And he still is.
If there's an afterlife, he and Leary are chatting it up already.
Bob spent his life illuminating the world one mind at a time. And, even though he's gone, those minds won't become dimmer.
But the world has lost one of its brightest flames... I'll drink one for him even though we never met.
Fnord!
your words guided me through some crazy times. 23
Thanks, man.
Farewell to a great and kind philosopher.
I knew something went wrong with karma police, when she sent me that text message telling me not to contact her anymore, but then again, what is the personal disturbance from losing one girl compared to planertary disturbance from loosing one great visonary?
Or put the other way around:
What is the pleasure deriven from exchanging worldviews, music, books, caresses and fun with one girl for some weeks compared to visionary notifying readers planetwide of worldviews, music, books, films and even more fun?
Thanks, Robert.
Thanks, everybody, who does the same.
Le RAW est mort. Vive le RAW!
Farewell, maestro.
Dear Robert,
I had the opportunity to meet you once in my life in person and this very private moment I will never forget.
Thanks for your shared thoughts and your invaluable contributions to mental sanity. We will keep the lasagna flying and you in our hearts.
Tim
I'd always hoped to meet you in the flesh some day. But I'm an east coaster, alas. I wanted to just say "Thank you". Myself, the 117 people who commented before me and countless thousands others owe you so much, we wouldn't be the people we are today if it wasn't for you.
I packed this one for you brother.
Hail Eris
p.s. being seeing you on sirius someday.
Cheers, mate. Enjoy the ride.
Thanks for the ideas, thanks for the words, thanks for the humor, thanks for showing me the approach I hope I can take when my own time comes. Goodbye.
Condolences to RAW's family.
0111 = 7...where's the 5, bob?
thanks for helping me see the fnords.
every man and woman is a tsar. hail eris!!
In omnibus requiem quaesivi, et nusquam inveni nisi in angulo cum libro
Farewell from Scotland.
see joo on xday
I feel a great disturbance in the force...
I assume you´ll still be checking your blog, so godspeed, Mr Wilson. Say hello to Leary and Mckenna and may you raise a glass with them in Valhalla.
Heartbreakingly yours,
Clark Nova
Ave atque vale, big lad. See you on the other side.
On a personal level, this week has been devoted to silly sounds... and somehow, I find that it is a fitting tribute to you.
I thank Eris that she rolled you in my direction.
Kallisti!!!!!!!!!!
Goodbye Robert. See you soon.
Farewell from Austria.
dude, you finally did it! rock on, adios, see you soon, hasta la pasta & meatballs on the side. xoxox
Here death may deal not again for ever;
Here change may come not till all change end.
From the graves they have made they shall rise up never,
Who have left nought living to ravage and rend.
Earth, stones, and thorns of the wild ground growing,
While the sun and the rain live, these shall be;
Till a last wind's breath upon all these blowing
Roll the sea." - Charles A.Swinburne
Thank You Bob .....Goodbye!!!

Amor et hilaritas
i did not visit this website for months. And now I have to read sad news.
Bob Wilson is already missing. He was a great teacher who did not deny that he was cosmic schmock.
Thank you Bob for all the ideas you gave us to ponder about.
Farewell
truly a dancing star has been born today.
farewell robert.
I can't think of anything to say but: I'm very sad today.
Farewell, Bob! You will live on in those you inspired.
Farewell RAW. Thank you for all the great ways you've contributed to this world.
Everywhere the sane are going into mourning...
Thank you for teaching me so much, enjoy the ride!
The greatest adverture begins.Say Hi to Chopper23,Jim,Jerry,Tim and all the others we miss you all!
Thank you, Robert, for the Illuminatus! Trilogy at 13, and for Cosmic Trigger and Prometheus Rising at 33. Fare thee well, and may these bits speed to you, wherever you are. My children -- when they exist -- will know your name. -gabriel
Farewell in your next journey, your humble servant Malach the Merciless.
Saddened I say goodbye in deep respect to an author who has given me unforgettable hours and ideas to ponder upon.
From the Netherlands and my deepest sympathy to his family.
Theo Paijmans
And so the made form dissolves.
Goodbye and thankyou
RIP RAW
No wife, no horse, no mustache
thank you for your contribution to making this world a more creative place to live in. deepest sympathies to RAW's family, close families, fans, and future fans who have yet to discover the greatness of his works.
-maredith
austin, texas
hoping that people don't take themselves too seriously.
Now you can have that pleasant meal. Hope you and Arlen have an excellent menu to choose from.
You're already missed.
Everything in the universe exists and will always exist. Everything stays unchanged through eternity. There is no before, now, later. Statis.
Or not. There is not "uni"verse, only a changing experience that we exchange between ourselves. There is no right or wrong, true or false, everything exists, nothing exists.
Or not.
The RAW Essence will linger.
Thanks, Bob. Your wisdom, wit, and activism will be missed on this side.
Thank you for teaching me not to take everything so damned seriously. I will laugh and drink good whisky in your memory. And then I will write.
I wish you excellent navigation in the bardos RAW, I wish you all the best wherever you are.
Farewell friend
http://corporate.skynet.be/zen
Fare thee well, Pope O' Mine.
Condolences to the world on this one. RAW was a man who really nailed that sucker. He knew everyone better than we know ourselves, even if he hasn't met you.
Let us never forget. And talk is cheap; it's all about the flax, right?
we'll miss you
but we won't forget you
and we'll keep spreading your message.
Enormous thanks for being your own dirty, freaky self. Be seeing you!
J. L. Grant
farewell & thank you.

Go get 'em Bob!
Ride that comet out of here!
What the thinker thinks, the prover proves.
Now where's that quarter? ;-)
I have no single greater influence on my thinking than this man, other than perhaps my dad. And I got to discover at just that point in my life when everything was so damn dull (20) that it seemed like nothing could impress me. But he did.
love you, man....
My Teacher, inspiration, entertainer and guide. Your light will always live on. I will miss you...LGN
The planet misses you already. Your works mean so much to me and changed me in so many ways.
23 skidoo, Bob.
Shed a tear for the coming eschaton.
Bob,
with your words you were more of a father and guide to me than my own dad, yet for some reason, I am struck dumb by this news. Thank you. You are already missed.
Somebody warn the gods, cause the afterlife will never be the same.
i say again, you taught me to think. thank you.
Mr. Wilson, I never met you but I already miss you. Your words gave me glimpses of things I never would have seen otherwise. Wherever you are, they better be treating you right.
Goodbye
Thank you for your inspiration.
Fnord!
a banana bag again (or a camel)
Hail to you friend.
Thank you for the Universe you unfolded, the great entertainment and making this world a little wittier and funnier.
We'll keep the lasagna flying and thanks for the fish.
Good bye bob ... you will be missed! You are welcome to reincarnate in my neck of the woods any time you see fit.
Send us some jujus from the Big Fnord in the Sky, man. Have a good trip.
Oh and farewell on your new journey...
Thanks Bob -- you taught me how to live life as the art of playing games and helped me to learn the unbridled joy of creating and remixing my life in myriad ways.
I'll always be indebted to you for helping me, not in opening my eyes, but in helping me look out of them from a different angle.
Hope your journey hasn't ended and this part's an even wilder trip than the last 75 years were.... I'll drink a toast to you tonight. Cheers
So long and thanks for all the fnords.
Thanks for all the books. Have fun on the other side.
-Darqchild
I have proof that this is all just a cover-up.
Bye.
Farewell, the only author whose originality, imagination and wit have truly surprised me.
I've written in to several online news publications. It's only fitting that RAW should get an obituary as a tribute.
thanks and have a good trip!
Farewell, and safe travels. You changed my life.
Enjoy your return to chaos...
Namu Amida Buddha
I was never the same person after I read Prometeus Rising. Hope the next adventure is even better than the last.
Bon Voyage
