"Cosmic Trigger" isn't really about conspiracy though.  Don't think it's
anything like the "Illuminati Trilogy", "Masks of the Illuminati", or
"Shroedinger's Cat".  It's a nonfiction (as nonfiction as something like
this can be) book about his mystical experiences with Leary, Castanada,
et al.  While there's a lot of BS (at least to me) it's still a great
source for mysticism in the 60's and 70's.
