Lilly\u0026rsquo;s \u0026ldquo;The Scientist: A Metaphysical Autobiography\u0026rdquo; 1978\nIn the isolation tank with K, John received a new message as follows:\nWhat is the purpose of Man\u0026rsquo;s existence on the planet Earth? Man is a form of biological life which is sustained in the presence of water. A very large fraction of his body, like that of other organisms on the planet Earth, consists of water and carbon compounds. His Biocomputer depends on water and the flow of ions through membranes. It depends on the generation of electrical voltages and currents in a very complex way. He is a mobile, self-reproducing, self-sustaining organism found on dry land. Like the rest of life as Man knows it, he exists in an extremely thin layer upon the surface of the planet Earth. Below this layer of water and surface land is the solid-state earth itself. The solid-state earth is mainly compounds of silicon, iron, and nickel.\n","tags":[],"title":"Lilly's message","url":"https://kibotronics.net/unlisted/lilly-machines/"}],"title":"Unlisteds","url":"https://kibotronics.net/unlisted/"}
