If anyone is interested, many of the subjective phenomena described in the article were well-researched by John Lilly in his book, The Deep Self , about the use of flotation/isolation tanks (think "Altered States"). Michael Hutchison later wrote a book called The Book of Floating that also would be of interest to anyone that would like to explore the subject. Sessions in flotation tanks are generally available for ~$100 in most major cities.
Just FYI...

Back in the mid 70s, my musique concrete teacher advocated sensory deprivation as a means of reducing the clutter in one's mind and being able to better focus on one's thoughts and ideas. One aspect was to find a very quiet and dark place, and stay there for 3 or 4 days. I never did, but I totally understand what he was saying.
:)
After a session in a float tank, the whole world looks different. I remember taking my brother down for a float once in Chicago at Lincoln Center. The guy in charge of parking when we came out thought that we'd been to the bar. We were high all right, but it wasn't from booze.
Sounds like Washington DC could use one .....
...the folks in DC are already floating in their own ethereal world, with no connection to outside reality already, just fine, thank you.
What they really need is a swift, harsh dose of reality (delivered in the back of their pants, via a size 13 boot....)
