The Walls Came Tumbling Down

"The Walls Came Tumbling Down" is a film script written by Robert Anton Wilson, first published in 1997.

Plot summary


No two equals are the same.
-Malaclypse the Younger,
"Principia Discordia"

In the introduction of the book, aside from thoughts abouts UFOs, the Magna Carta, the IRA and Nelson Mandela, Wilson explains how he wrote the screenplay after a film deal had collapsed and was trying to get another deal together.

The book deals with the scary things that happen to those who stumble into a borderline or other-wordly consciousness without any intent to go there and without any preparation or Operating Manual to tell them how to navigate when the walls tumble, the doors of perception fly open and the bottom falls out of their mental filing cabinet, leaving the brain suddenly free of the limits of "mind".

The title refers not only to the walls of Jericho in the Bible story but also to the tunnel-walls of the labyrinth of Minos in the Greek myth, which hid Theseus and the Minotaur from each other before their final confrontation. It also refers to the Leary-Wilson reality-tunnels.The plot revolves around three characters, Michael, Simon and Cathy.
