I daresay that many of us experimented with expanding our
consciousnesses *before* becoming interested in it intellectually.
But we were careful. ;)

I came late to this thread, but I find it very
interesting--especially Peter Harzem's response to Michael Smith's query
below--it made me laugh because only a scientist could post that
response : ).
I have just a couple of observations to throw out there and I
appologize if they've already been mentioned.
First, isn't some of this closely related to the
self-recognition research (e.g., the rouge test) that has been discussed
before on this list?
Second, I find it interesting that William James was such an
enthusiast of stream of consciousness that he became enamored of the use
of inhaled nitrous oxide as a way to expand one's consciousness.

How would you know that your cat only looks for you when you are
at home?

Why, of course, Paul. (My cat is conscious of my being
at home.
That is the only time he comes looking for me.

But, Paul, e.g. "X is not human" is not a tautological
statement.
