His 1969 book on Shaw, "Bernard Shaw: A Reassessment", is one of the clearest and best statements of his philosophy.

Maslow says he studied 'healthy' people and they had more frequent 'peak experiences'.
By 'healthy' does he mean 'insiders'?
Colin Wilson describes the 'Outsider' as 'seeing too deep and too much'
He also describes a peak experience as reaching a higher state of consciousness for a brief amount of time.
Can a 'healthy' person have a peak experience of this description? Would this not be seeing too much?
Could it not be argued that the peak experiences Maslow spoke of were not the same thing?

That is correct, the original talk (available from INFO) was about an hour long. I have included some of the key points in this re-edited version.

Colin Wilson set up way too many philosophical questions--in an exciting way--and then degenerated into occultism and BS

This is an absolutely fascinating (if rather brief) talk, i'd never previously heard of Colin Wilson, i'll be sure to look into his work. Thanks!

Many thanks for sharing this! There has been a distinct lack of Colin Wilson presence on Youtube, and this certainly begins to redress the balance! |
