"Gilding the Lilly"
An Invitation
"Gilding the Lilly", a
Symposium honoring the life and work of John C. Lilly, M.D.:
a virtual reality program, broadcast from a well equipped
studio in San Francisco and beamed to you through internet
streaming audio and/or video, local cable broadcast,
satellite and direct tv. We, the crew from
International Space Sciences Organization, Sound
Photosynthesis, Samadhi Tank Co., 3.2.2.0., and Association
for Cultural Evolution, are collaborating to create an
environment that enables the largest possible audience in
time and space to participate, contribute and interact with
Dr. Lilly in his 85th year. He will be on site at 3.2.2.0
Sacramento in San Francisco, but he won't be a presenter,
rather the honored guest. The presenters will be those who
have worked intimately with him and/or his ideas in subjects
such as: Interspecies Communication, Cultural Evolution,
Computers, Patanjali, Cetaceans, Isolation Tanks, Water
Birthing, Ketamine.... In addition to the
broadcasting, there will be a site next door with a monitor
to view the broadcasts for those of you who would like to
drop in. There will also be a film screening one evening, a
dinner on Sat. evening where you can come and be with Dr.
Lilly if you are in San Francisco, and other to-be-announced
events. The dates, opening April 26 and closing April 30.
Exact broadcast hours to be announced. We would like you to
join us. A Special Event
Offer A new float tank will be
installed as part of the event. Dr. Lilly will autograph
this tank and at the conclusion of the event this one of
kind environment will be auctioned to one lucky person. All
profits from this sale will be donated to Dr. Lilly. If you
have an interest to participate in the auction, send your
Feedback. Republishing "The Deep
Self" *"The Deep Self" has been out
of print for a long time. Someone just paid $42.00 for it in
a used online bookstore. This book is the dictionary, Bible
and source document of the floatation tank. It must get back
in print. Gateways Books and Tapes, a not-for profit
publisher ("Tanks for the Memories") will publish "The Deep
Self" since they are dedicated to keeping the work of giants
like Dr. Lilly in print, if we can supply the costs of
publishing, $3500. They know how to get this book in print
quickly. They are also willing to double the usual 10%
royalty for Dr. Lilly. They will give him a 20% royalty. We
are asking you to contribute to the publishing costs so that
this book is available again. If you remember how your
beliefs have had a chance to rearrange themselves as a
result of reading a line in one of Dr. Lilly's books, you
would probably agree that it is good to keep his books in
print. If you can help by making a contribution, that would
be excellent. If you need a tax credit for your
contribution, you can have it since Gateways is a
not-for-profit. Please send your tax deductible donations
