1. 1. The Deep Self

   

   A vivid blend of memoir, experiment, and theory exploring human consciousness and techniques for accessing deeper layers of mind; the author recounts sensory-deprivation and floatation-tank work, psychedelic and isolation-induced experiences, and experiments in interspecies communication, using clinical detail and personal narrative to argue that systematic inner exploration—melding rigorous observation with open-minded speculation—can reveal new understandings of perception, selfhood, and the possibilities for integrating altered states into ordinary life.

2. 2. Simulations Of God

   

   An experimental, speculative exploration of consciousness and reality in which the author combines accounts of isolation-tank work, dolphin-communication projects, and psychedelic sessions to argue that minds construct and inhabit layered simulations of experience. Blending scientific observation, autobiographical narrative, and theoretical speculation, the book proposes models for how consciousness creates and interacts with perceived worlds, examines the possibility of communication with nonhuman intelligences, and urges an ethical, responsible approach to probing inner and outer realities. It challenges conventional materialist assumptions and suggests that altered states and technological interventions can reveal the construction of subjective reality and open new avenues for understanding mind, language, and the cosmos.

3. 3. The Center Of The Cyclone

   An Autobiography of Inner Space

   

   A firsthand account of a scientist’s unconventional journey into altered states of consciousness, combining laboratory methods, sensory-deprivation tank experiments, and psychedelic self-exploration to probe the structures and dynamics of the mind; the narrative describes a practical model of the human “biocomputer,” techniques for navigating and directing inner experiences, encounters with unusual perceptual phenomena and apparent autonomous entities, and candid reflections on the ethical and personal consequences of pushing the boundaries between objective research and subjective revelation.

4. 4. Programming & Metaprogramming In The Human Biocomputer

   

   Presents a cybernetic model of the human mind as a biological computer whose mental “programs” can be installed, modified, or rewritten; it surveys practical and experimental methods—sensory isolation, psychotropic agents, biofeedback, suggestion and disciplined attention—for altering perception, behavior and states of consciousness, and reflects on self-directed “metaprogramming,” therapeutic reconditioning, and the ethical and philosophical questions raised by deliberately changing how people think and experience reality.
