The Deep Self

Published over thirty years ago and now with a new introduction by the author, this classic work presents the methods and conclusions of more than 25 years of experimentation with the isolation tank meditative experience. Drawing on the personal testimony of many who tried it, including Burgess Meredith, Gregory Bateson, E.J. Gold Jerry Rubin, the evidence shows how, by eliminating the presence of shifting physical input patterns, the tank allows participants to dive deep into the subconscious focus immediately on inner perceptions. The different domains of reality how various experiences with solitude affect different people are discussed along with practical details on the standards for isolation tank use manufacture.
