“During this experience I was filled with awe, reverence, and a fantastic feeling of smallness, of not amounting to very much. Everything was happening on such a vast scale that I was merely an observer of microscopic size, and yet I was more than this.”

Lilly gives the specific details on 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 and in these states combined with LSD and other methods including mystical experience. The search and exploration technique he describes previously is here sharpened into a new focus. Written for the non-specialist, the narrative style of the new book is designed to permit the interested younger (16 to 60) reader to keep up a fast pace on his/her first trip through inner space.
