Robert Shea

Robert Joseph Shea (February 14, 1933 – March 10, 1994) was an American

Three of his lectures and two panel discussions he participated in were recorded when he was a featured speaker at both the Starwood Festival^[2] and the WinterStar Symposium (both with and without Robert Anton Wilson) and produced by the Association for Consciousness Exploration.

For several years, Shea edited the anarchist zine No Governor. The title comes from a quote attributed to Zhuangzi, "There is no governor anywhere." The zine was mentioned in and read by one of the characters in Illuminatus!.

Clipped from the Robert J. Shea Tribute page:
