The Scientist: A Metaphysical Autobiography
John Lilly, M.D.
From his early work with monkey brain implants and dolphin communication to experiments with isolation tanks and Vitamin K. “In the Day-glo psychedelic '60s, you never found J.C. Lilly wearing tie-dyes to rock concerts. Nor for him the voyage to the Ganges or Woodstock. We all saw Lilly as some sort of wizard, a science-fiction starman, a unique back-to-the-future alchemist. A new Paracelsus. A veritable Isaac Newton of the Mind… This is one of the great personal stories of our culture, written with the scientific precision that most call honesty. No one has gone as far into the future as John C. Lilly and managed to return (reluctantly, we know) with such clarity and good humor. Guard your copy of The Scientist. It's a precious relic of our wonderful, incredible age.”—Timothy Leary.
