John C. Lilly
“Floating in the tank after a busy day’s work brings a great relief. Suddenly all of the stimulation of holding one upright against gravity disappears. One realizes that a good deal of the fatigue accumulated during the day is caused by keeping one’s body upright in a gravitational field. From a neurophysiological standpoint, one has immediately freed up very large masses of neurons from the necessity of constant computations (as to the direction of gravity, the programming by visual and acoustic inputs, by temperature changes, etcetera). For example, one’s cerebellum is now freed for uses other than balancing the body. In summary, then,”
John C. Lilly, The Deep Self: Consciousness Exploration in the Isolation Tank

Saroj Aryal
“Third eye" isn't something we add to our already existing two eyes, rather it's their deeper communion.
It’s the inner eye that opens as two outer flesh-made eyes. It’s the inner eye that opens as ears, and nose and tongue too. Human body is just an opening up of the soul to this material realm.”
Saroj Aryal

György Lukács
“There is no reasonable doubt that existentialism will soon become the predominant philosophical current among bourgeois intellectuals." (1949)”
György Lukács

John C. Lilly
“In the province of the mind, what one believes to be true, either is true or becomes true within certain limits. These limits are to be found experientially and experimentally. When the limits are determined, it is found that they are further beliefs to be transcended. In the province of the mind, there are no limits. The body imposes definite limits.”
John C. Lilly, The Deep Self: Consciousness Exploration in the Isolation Tank

John C. Lilly
“My philosophy: Don't get caught with a fixed philosophy, a set
of safe beliefs, a particular way of life.

Experiment! With live, with love.

Run an exploration of the real and the true degrees of freedom
of life, of love, of the human condition, inside self and in one's
style of life.

Move! Into new spaces beyond one's present concepts of possible/probable/certain real spaces.

Far vaster than I now know are the innermost/outermost realities.

Far more interesting than I now feel are the deeps of the space, the beyond within, the infinite without.

Love and loving are basic.

Hostility is redundant.

Fear is non-sense.

"Death" is a myth.

I am I.”
John C. Lilly
