1
00:01:46,256 --> 00:01:47,553
The tank itself...
2
00:01:47,624 --> 00:01:49,751
...was unusual in that it was vertical...
3
00:01:50,193 --> 00:01:52,286
...and looked like an old boiler.
4
00:01:52,862 --> 00:01:55,160
inside the tank the subject wore
a heavy glass bubble...
5
00:01:55,231 --> 00:01:58,894
...and you would have thought the whole
contraption uncomfortable to say the least.
6
00:01:58,968 --> 00:02:00,435
it was, however, effective.
7
00:02:01,204 --> 00:02:04,867
of the 23 students tested,
only two found the experience unpleasant.
8
00:02:05,475 --> 00:02:07,466
Some even called it exhilarating.
9
00:02:07,544 --> 00:02:09,739
A number of students hallucinated.
10
00:02:10,580 --> 00:02:14,243
Dr. Jessup found the encephalographic
evidence especially interesting.
11
00:02:14,450 --> 00:02:17,578
And one Saturday afternoon, in April 1967...
12
00:02:17,654 --> 00:02:20,350
...he decided to try the experience
for himself.
13
00:03:48,678 --> 00:03:51,169
Arthur. Hey, Arthur.
14
00:03:52,181 --> 00:03:53,443
Are you there?
15
00:03:54,250 --> 00:03:55,683
Can you hear me, Arthur?
16
00:03:57,854 --> 00:03:59,287
Arthur, answer me.
17
00:04:00,590 --> 00:04:03,457
Is that it? You want me
to come in and get you out?
18
00:04:07,230 --> 00:04:09,391
i want to get a look at those EEG tracings.
19
00:05:00,249 --> 00:05:01,511
How do you feel?
20
00:05:01,884 --> 00:05:03,146
Not bad.
21
00:05:03,519 --> 00:05:05,510
I hallucinated like a son of a bitch.
22
00:05:06,022 --> 00:05:08,684
A variety of dream states, mystical states...
23
00:05:09,325 --> 00:05:11,520
...a lot of religious allegory,
mostly out of Revelation.
24
00:05:11,594 --> 00:05:13,755
You were in there close to five hours.
25
00:05:13,997 --> 00:05:15,021
It felt like an hour.
26
00:05:15,098 --> 00:05:16,759
I'd like to try that myself sometime.
27
00:05:16,833 --> 00:05:18,357
...
