In praise of John Lilly
For the past forty-five years, John C. Lilly has been a
peeping Tom at the keyhole of eternity.
As a record of Lilly's search for the nature of
reality, The
Scientist is at times naive and frustrating, at times profoundand inspiring. Despite his fearlessness, curiosity, and perse
verance, one senses that Lilly quietly anguishes over his in-
ability to transcend the limits that science has imposed on
his quest. Yet his determination is unflagging.- New Age JournalIf there is a cartographer of altered states of conscious-
ness - of the highways and byways of the inner
trip -
it is
John Lilly, a rare combination of scientist and mystic. . . He
helps the rest of us break out of the petty orthodoxies that
obscure the riches of life from womb to tomb.

He is erudite, he is driven, he is totally sold on his inter-
nal explorations and truths as he agonizes between his sci-
entific self and his inner dimensions
and realities. Other writ
ers have made less of a to-do over this dilemma,
but others
have also been less vital and personal.
