         excerpted from the Book of the SubGenius by J.R. "Bob" Dobbs

IF you suspect that things are much worse than you ever suspected-

IF the only thing you've been able to laugh at for the last 5 years
   is the fact that NOTHING is funny anymore-

IF you sometimes want to collar people on the street and scream that you're
   more different than they could possible *imagine*-

IF you can possibly help us with a donation-

IF you see the whole universe as one vast morbid sense of sick humor-

IF the current "Age of Progress" seems more like the Dark Ages to you-

IF you are looking for an inherently contradictory religion that will condone
   megadegeneracy and yet tell you that you are "above" everone else-

Then...		        ___________________________

-Your secret wishes can be granted in full- *once you know what they are!*
	"You'll PAY to know what you REALLY think."-J.R. "Bob" Dobbs, 1961

NOW, AT LAST! The step-by-step process is revealed! THIS IS IT!

	You may have 'snapped' already from the information disease! ("The
sleep of reason begets monsters.") Look to the High Unpredictables of the 
Church of the SubGenius for pancultural deprogramming and resynchronization!
Perfect your subliminal vision -edit your memory- *relive your reincarnality*
SYNC UP! THE SUBGENIUS MUST HAVE SLACK!
	Using SubGenius secrets of BULLDADA and MOREALISM you can now
MIRACULOUSLY ELIMINATE COMPULSIVE URGES such as smoking, eating, sleeping,
working; end baldness, constipation, sex-money problems, assouliness, and
painful shortage of SLACK!

adventure! Indulge in Self-Help through Raising Hell!

	Thought you'd tried everything? YOU AIN'T SEEN NOTHIN' YET! Learn to
THINK BIG! Develop the tricks of Length Extension! Bring your *weirdest
dreams* to rampaging LIFE!
	Stand erect for you own abnormality. WISE UP! *They're* out to get
you.
	The "different" are being silenced by a global conspiracy. WIERDOS
ARISE!! You probably already knew that the U.S. Government is a SHAM- 
something propped up there for you to *blame*. But did you know that the
*real* "powers that be" are not even *people*? That they are actually 
shambling, unbelievable, unmentionable, unthinkable THINGS??

        YES! JEHOVAH *IS* AN ALIEN AND STILL THREATENS THIS PLANET!

	Defy the sinister "Star Forces" which mock us all. Evil demons have
kept the truth from humanity for thousands of years - God has been misquoted
all this time! His actual words may disturb you...but "Bob" Dobbs is a bulwark
against the unbearable fear and anxiety tormenting mankind. "There's no
'Prob'...With "Bob"!"
	"Bob" is a way of life to *millions* - yet *half* of them don't even
KNOW it! He is the one true LIVING SLACK MASTER with the spiritual know-how to
help you BASH THROUGH the locked doorway to FINANCIAL HEAVEN. He is the *only*
real Short-Cut to Slack.
	
   	           SEE ANOTHER DIMENSION ON YOUR TV

	"Bob's" promise is to widen the scope and nature of *abnormal 
behavior*...to explore NEW WAYS of going over the edge *and coming back*. PLUS
to *bring back those who couldn't on their own*...to help you create the 
HIGHEST POSSIBLE EARNINGS from the PSYCHODYMANICS of ABNORMALITY...
to turn Conspiracy-implanted personality disorders AROUND and channel them
into an ILLUSION OF CREATIVITY that will *fool normals* and GET YOU SEX!
	As you learn more and more reliable, safe methods of Time Control, you
will find your I.Q. increasing - your very cranium will seem to pulsate from
within, barely able to contain the turmoil of glorious new concepts and mental
skills. Soon you'll be able to withstand COMMUNICATION WITH THE *XISTS*, our
*mentors in space*; you will be ready for TRANSFIGURATION into a *new physical
body*, a more powerful one, built to contain the surging mental and material
mutations that your brain now generates. YES - become and OVERHUMAN, a
dangerous and feared superhuman of the future! Yet - because your SubGenius
roots can never be forgotten - you won't be able to abuse your powers, but 
instead make them an unstoppable force for GOOD and JUSTICE, choosing always
to defend the oppressed SubGenius wherever they may be!
	The world is a turkey, and "Bob" gives you the carving knife.

Fear THE STARK FIST OF REMOVAL no longer! 
Become PHYSICALLY ATTRACTIVE- overnight! 
Attain STATUS-LUCK-PROSPERITY by *blowing them off*!

When you join this "Order of the Knights of Wotan," you get a mastery of *fighting skills*...good health, an attractive personality, 
a WEIRD ABILITY TO INFLUENCE OTHERS! To BEND THEM to your WILL!

You'll learn INCANTATIONS that lead to MASTERY over FISCAL PLANES... the 
OCCULT TECHNOLOGY of FINANCE POWER...E-Z ways to borrow money - from
*other people who don't have it either!"

	Achieve SHEER GUT BLOWOUT.
	Our "ascetism" consists solely of the abstinence from abstinence. Give
up the not giving into of temptation! Think thoughts that no human has ever
dared think before. You CAN learn to recall memories from the past that you
had forgotten, or that never existed at all.
	
		CONTACT ALIENS BOTH BENEVOLENT AND EVIL!

	The Church of the SubGenius the first and last stand against a 
crumbling world filled with Pinks and Glorps.
	"SURVIVE THE GREAT CATACLYSMS THROUGH UFO TRANSPORT!"

You too can can be a part of this WAVE OF THE FUTURE!

Make *strangeness* work for YOU!
Thought you were 'ordinary'? WRONG.
Tap your secret Abnormality Potential.

RADICAL INSANITY!
