Starting point is 00:00:49 The scientists had theorized that a human without access to any senses or ways to perceive stimuli would be able to perceive the presence of God. They believed that the five senses clouded our awareness of eternity and without them, a human could actually establish contact with God by thought. An elderly man who claimed to have, quote, nothing left to live for, was the only test subject to volunteer. To purge himself of all his senses, the scientist performed a complex operation in which every sensory nerve connection to the brain was surgically severed. Although the test subject retained full muscular function, he could not see, hear, taste, smell, or feel.

Starting point is 00:01:37 With no possible way to communicate with or even sense the outside world, he was alone with his thoughts. Scientists monitored him as he spoke aloud about his state of mind in jumbled, slurred sentences that he couldn't even hear. After four days, the man claimed to be hearing hushed on intelligible voices in his head. Assuming it was the onset of psychosis,

The subject repeatedly said that he could see and hear the deceased in his dreams. Only a day later, the suspect began to scream and clawed as non-functional eyes, hoping to sense something in the physical world.

Seemingly mad, he started to bite off chunks of flesh from his arm. The scientists rushed into the chamber and restrained him to a table so that he could not kill himself.

Starting point is 00:04:15 For two weeks the subject had to be manually rehydrated due to the constant crying. Eventually, he turned his head and, despite his blindness, made focused eye contact with the scientist for the first time in the study.
