John C. Lilly Bücher

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.'

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.

With over 120,000 copies sold, this contemporary work brings the timeless Tibetan Bardo teachings into modern American culture, offering 49 days of readings for those who have died or are preparing for the dying experience. It serves as a spiritual tool for assisting a dying person rather than focusing on grief or loss. The front matter includes "Notes on the Labyrinth" and commentary that provides insights for readers wishing to offer this guiding service to terminally ill individuals. The reading instructions clearly outline the schedule and content, making it accessible without any specific belief system, as it is presented as non-denominational and compatible with various faiths. The schedule graphically illustrates how to conduct the 49 days of readings, each lasting approximately 10 to 20 minutes. Since its initial release in 1974, the book has been utilized in university courses on Death & Dying, referenced in various contexts, and employed by hospice workers and nurses worldwide. It is often mentioned in discussions of the 1970s West Coast spiritual renaissance, and many from the baby boomer generation recall it from their college days. Translations are available in Spanish and Greek, with more editions in progress in other languages. A course is also offered online for those interested in performing "Labyrinth Readings" beyond their personal networks.

2. vydání tehdy populární knihy o komunikaci mezi lidmi a vodním stvořením – delfínem. Dnes padesátiletý americký vědec, neurolog a neurofyziolog, předkládá ve své knížce zajímavé výsledky badatelské práce, jejímž předmětem byl výzkum života delfínů. Jeho poznatky získané dlouhodobým pozorováním a stykem s delfíny i nesčetnými pokusy dokazují vysokou inteligenci těchto zvířat a otvírají cestu dalším výzkumům o možnostech dorozumění člověka s jinými živočišnými druhy.
