John Cunningham Lilly Boeken

Dr John Lilly, author of 'The Center of the Cyclone' & 'Man & Dolphin' draws upon 22 years of groundbreaking scientific research to present his remarkable theory & techniques of 'isolation therapy,' showing how to unfold & experience new degrees of self-awareness & personal harmony. He's been studying isolation therapy ever since he developed this method in 1954 at this Nat'l Institute for Mental Health. Since 1973, he's been working in California with scores of volunteers who've recorded their extraordinary experiences, Thse personal 'tan logs' on the feelings & fantasies experienced by Burgess Meredith, Robert Wilson, Gregory Bateson, Werner Erhard & others while in the isolation tank are presented together with the author's hypotheses & observations on peace in isolation versus 'sensory deprivation.' The book also gives standards & specifications for isolation-tank manufacture & step-by-step instructions on how to build & maintain a tank. As Dr Craig Enright says in his foreword: 'The tank is a tool for process, like meditation...the inner theater...that allows us to expand our awareness of our internal state of being...& enriches not only that realm but the course of the everyday world in which we live.'

Presentation of Lilly's theory of man as a biological computer; an essential introduction and explanation followed by three experiemental sessions. Contents: Pt. 1: Introduction to biocomputer exercises; Pt. 2: Meditative exercises; Pt. 3: Models and beliefs; Pt. 4: Programming awareness.

Exploring the concept of humans as biochemical robots, John C. Lilly emphasizes the importance of self-awareness in achieving spiritual independence. He argues that understanding and programming one's core beliefs is essential for personal growth. Lilly critiques how many individuals adopt spiritual beliefs superficially, likening them to clothing that restricts individuality. In "The Steersman," he provides insights on identifying and transforming these guiding beliefs, empowering readers to break free from unexamined norms and embark on a journey of self-discovery.

Autobiografie známého amerického badatele, průkopníka v oblasti elektroniky, biofyziky, neurofyziologie, počítačové teorie a neuroanatomie. Lilly ve své autobiografii poutavě popisuje pozoruhodné objevy od prvních pokusů s mapováním mozku opic a komunikace s delfíny až k odvážným experimentům s izolační nádrží a látkami rozšiřujícími vědomí. Jeho objevy ve Vědci zůstávají i nadále ohromující a někomu budou možná připadat neuvěřitelné. Čtenáře, kteří mají odvahu zkoumat poslední neprobádané území - nezmapované oblasti lidské mysli - zaujme pocitem kosmické vize jeho poslední zpráva o " spiknutí pevných látek" , o komunikaci s mimozemšťany a nevyhnutelném dialogu člověka s delfínem. Předmluvu napsal Timothy Leary.
