Jacque Fresco
“If you think we can't change the world, it just means you're not one of those who will.”
Jacque Fresco

John C. Lilly
“I am not my opinion of myself, I am not anything I can describe to me. I am only a part of a large system that cannot describe itself fully; therefore, I relax and I am in the point source of consciousness, of delight, of mobility, in the inner spaces. My tasks do not include describing me nor having an opinion about the system in which I live, biological or social or dyadic. I hereby drop that "responsibility".

I am much more than I can conceive or judge me to be. Any negative or positive opinions I have of me are false fronts, headlines, limited and unnecessary programmes written on a thin paper blowing about and floating around in the vastness of inner spaces.”
John C. Lilly, The Center of the Cyclone: Looking into Inner Space

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

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
