INTRO: January 2015 would be the 100th birthday of DR. JOHN C. LILLY,
one of the true visionaries of 20th-century science. Lilly's life
and work at the frontiers of human knowledge embraces the major
themes of 20th-century bioscience. In his 86 years, Lilly made
significant contributions to psychology, brain research, computer
theory, medicine, ethics, dolphinology, and interspecies communi-
cation. Of special relevance for this program, Lilly's interest in
the nature of human consciousness led him to invent the isolation
or floatation tank in the 1950s. Today there are thousands of
Floatation Centers around the world.
The floatation tank is a large plastic container filled with 10
inches of warm water and 800 pounds of dissolved Epsom salt. This
high-density liquid allows the body to float effortlessly, free
for once from the burden of gravity. The water and air are both
heated to skin temperature, so one soon loses the sense of the
boundaries of the body. With no light and virtually no sound,
it encourages a "sensory-reduced" state that promotes deep
physical and mental relaxation, and ultimately allows the floater
to explore "inner space."
Hmmm. Does that sound familiar? Floating is one of the most common
terms used to describe the effect of Ambient music.
Lilly began by investigating what would happen in an environment
free of all sensory stimulation, but instead of the brain going to
sleep as had been theorized, a whole new world of inner experience
opened up. In the early 1960s, Lilly began experiments with LSD,
and decided to take the drug in the isolation tank. Through this
work, he arrived at a perspective that transcended the conflict
between rationality and mysticism, religion and science.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space...a weightless journey in
inner space, on a program called FLOATATION.
