John Lily was one of the first scientists to compare our brain to a computer. He believed that we are not our beliefs, but what is being programmed into us. His work on meta-programming has been influential for many years. We can now take control over ourselves and change how we think about things.
In this episode, we chat with flotation enthusiast, consultant, and publisher Graham Talley on physician, neuroscientist, psychoanalyst, psychonaut, philosopher, writer, and inventor John C. Lilly, MD, author of over 125 scientific papers and 19 books including Programming and Metaprogramming of the Human Biocomputer and two autobiographies, Center of The Cyclone and The Scientist.

“In the province of the mind what one believes to be true, either is true or becomes true within certain limits. These limits are to be found experimentally and experientially. When so found these limits turn out to be further beliefs to be transcended. In the province of the mind there are no limits. However, in the province of the body there are definite limits not to be transcended.”
