One of the more influential works on humans as "biocomputers" (a term coined by Lilly), originally published in 1968 and later reprinted in association with the Whole Earth Catalog, as a development of his work at the National Institute of Mental Health. Lilly's theories suggest that human beings are biocomputers operating along the lines of "the analogy of brain being the hardware, the mind being the software and consciousness being beyond both." [Kaboli, S. (2016). "On wholeness and the implicate order in crystals and its implications for consciousness studies". Cosmos and History: The Journal of Natural and Social Philosophy]. Extensions of this interpretation, and its possibilities lead Lilly into the realms of sensory deprivation therapies, communication with Dolphins, the use of hallucinogenics for consciousness growth, and the belief that we can program and reprogram ourselves towards improvement and greater functionality. Outlandish, or at the very least considered "fringe" at the time, a number of Lilly's theories began the process of understanding more about human consciousness and the complex nature of the relationships between mind, body, and our perception of external and internal reality.
