Sensory Deprivation Tanks
« on: May 13, 2013, 12:51:51 PM »
The best way to eliminate all sensory input is to step inside a sensory deprivation tank.

My friends back in Chicago run a business called "Samhadhi Time & Space". They offer users 1+ hour sensory deprivation tank experiences.

Haven't found a place here in SF, but there are some in Los Angelas, CA and around the world.

An interview by Joe Rogan with Hamilton from Vice magazine on the subject of these deprivation tanks...

The time dilation effect is the weirdest aspect for me.   Unfortunately, I tend to fall  asleep if I lay down and close my eyes and it happened every time I tried this.

Been looking into this more and more lately.  Someone told me there's a tank near me, I gotta find it.

I remember an 80's movie about a guy experimenting with drugs and a sensory deprivation tank and he begins to regress genetically. Maybe something to check out while blended  :passone:  Here's the IMDB link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080360/ and of course the youtube trailer lol.


Looks to be a pretty strange movie, I just never took the time to see it when it came out.

Hah, it's much more likely there'd be much progress from these sort of experiments than regression.  As usual, the movies like to reverse things.

The movie is excellent. Its a total trip. I own it. Psychedelic masterpiece.

The movie is based on John Lilly. A very interesting author. The quote on my sig is from him LOL

His book "Programming and Metaprogramming in the Human Biocomputer" is kinda amazing. About getting over your hangups and negative programming through psychedelic drug use with ritualized intention behind it.

Along the lines of Leary's "Neuropolitics" and such, but much much deeper.

John Lilly invented the tanks. And figured out that dolphins  communicated and could understand human beings.
