- sebastianconcpt 5y agoThat's really interesting. I didn't read that book. Did Feynman described an OBE he had? or some other altered state?
- penjelly 5y agoi recall... he described an OBE in detail, though i believe it described the actual visual effect as minor, he says he could change his perspective to be off to his left side or above himself, i dont think he says he flies off to some other world. The experience was enjoyable to him though, as he sought out the iso tank more often afterwards. edit: he also did a small dose of ketamine one time he tried it and said it enhanced the effects
