Nobody talks about this guy enough, biggest bad ass in the history of psychonauts for sure. I have read The Scientist & am currently reading "Programming and Metaprogramming in the Human Biocomputer" amazing books !

Check out "The Center of the Cyclone" while you're at it. Heard Lily speak in Eugene back in the day about dolphin communication and psychedelics - epic stuff.

It was more of just a talk in a school lecture hall but the content was über fascinating.
Lilly's concept of ECCO has shaped a lot of my thinking about synchronicity over the years.

I'm an audio book guy. I downloaded "The Center of the Cyclone" but was disappointed to find that it was read by a text-to-speech program, not an actual person reading it. How bogus.. I can't listen to a book read by a robot.

Haha oh okay I see, that defiantly still sounds super awesome ! Look at how little a response John C. Lilly gets on this site, im dumbfounded ! ECCO blew my mind when I first started to read about it in The Scientist.

That's too bad, I would have been interested in listening to that myself if not for some random robotic voice doing the reading !

The thing about ECCO is that it's real and understandable, from certain perspectives. And by real I mean demonstrable and visible once you know what you're looking for.

I would have to agree with you man, I have only started paying attention to this for a little while now but I can already see there is defiantly something going on here. John C. Lilly is a genius. I dont think I fully understand it as well as you seem too, but day by day i'm getting a better grasp of ECCO.

He is indeed a brilliant man! He created sensory deprivation tanks and pioneered alot of research concerning interspecies communication of dolphins, the guy took heavy doses of lsd and ket and has said to have telepathically communicated with them. His books on the biocomputer and metaprogramming are very interesting, he really took his consciousness to the farthest vistas.
