In this long-out-of-print counterculture classic, Dr. John C. Lilly
takes readers behind the scenes into the inner life of a scientist
exploring inner space, or "far-out spaces," as Lilly called them. The
book explains how he derived his theory of the operations of the human
mind and brain from his personal experiences and experiments in
solitude, isolation, and confinement; LSD; and other methods of mystical
experience. It also includes glimpses into Lilly's friendship with such
1960s' notables as Oscar Ichazo, Ram Dass, Timothy Leary, Albert
Hofmann, Fritz Perls, and Claudio Narajo. Written for the
non-specialist, Center of the Cyclone shows an important, modern
thinker at his most personal and profound.
