1
00:01:44,354 --> 00:01:45,651
The tank itself...
2
00:01:45,722 --> 00:01:47,849
...was unusual in that it was vertical...
3
00:01:48,291 --> 00:01:50,384
...and looked like an old boiler.
4
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,258
inside the tank the subject wore
a heavy glass bubble...
5
00:01:53,329 --> 00:01:56,992
...and you would have thought the whole
contraption uncomfortable to say the least.
6
00:01:57,066 --> 00:01:58,533
it was, however, effective.
7
00:01:59,302 --> 00:02:02,965
of the 23 students tested,
only two found the experience unpleasant.
8
00:02:03,573 --> 00:02:05,563
Some even called it exhilarating.
9
00:02:05,641 --> 00:02:07,836
A number of students hallucinated.
10
00:02:08,677 --> 00:02:12,340
Dr. Jessup found the encephalographic
evidence especially interesting.
11
00:02:12,547 --> 00:02:15,675
And one Saturday afternoon, in April 1967...
12
00:02:15,751 --> 00:02:18,447
...he decided to try the experience
for himself.
13
00:03:46,773 --> 00:03:49,264
Arthur. Hey, Arthur.
14
00:03:50,276 --> 00:03:51,538
Are you there?
15
00:03:52,345 --> 00:03:53,778
Can you hear me, Arthur?
16
00:03:55,949 --> 00:03:57,382
Arthur, answer me.
17
00:03:58,685 --> 00:04:01,552
Is that it? You want me
to come in and get you out?
18
00:04:05,325 --> 00:04:07,486
i want to get a look at those EEG tracings.
19
00:04:58,342 --> 00:04:59,604
How do you feel?
20
00:04:59,977 --> 00:05:01,239
Not bad.
21
00:05:01,612 --> 00:05:03,603
I hallucinated like a son of a bitch.
22
00:05:04,115 --> 00:05:06,777
A variety of dream states, mystical states...
23
00:05:07,418 --> 00:05:09,613
...a lot of religious allegory,
mostly out of Revelation.
24
00:05:09,687 --> 00:05:11,848
You were in there close to five hours.
25
00:05:12,090 --> 00:05:13,114
It felt like an hour.
26
00:05:13,191 --> 00:05:14,852
I'd like to try that myself sometime.
27
00:05:14,926 --> 00:05:16,450
...
