Simulations Of God by John C. Lilly

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.
