Lost In Inner Space,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Center of the Cyclone P (Paperback)
Dr. John Lilly describes his experiences with LSD, sensory deprivation tanks, mysticism, and yoga in this book. You learn a few interesting biographical facts; a suicide attempt brought on by LSD and the fact that Dr. Lilly gave LSD to dolphins! Unfortunately his altered states of consciousness aren't that fascinating because he does not describe them in any great detail. He uses an unfamiliar rating scale for altered states of consciousness. Computers must have been more exotic in the 1970s because his analogy of biocomputers and metaprogramming isn't very meaningful now that personal computers are commonplace and less mystifying. Dr. Lilly seems to have been more interested in transcendental experiences than visionary experiences which may explain his failure to really expose the alternate reality of the psyche.
