Description

Aldous Huxley – The Doors of PerceptionThe critically acclaimed novelist and social critic Aldous Huxley, describes his personal experimentation with the drug mescaline and explores the nature of visionary experience.This controversial statement about the benefit of hallucinogenic drugs from the author of Brave New World was first published in 1954, but its ideas remain the topic of debate even today. Listen and judge for yourself as Aldous Huxley reveals his personal experience with mescaline and the connection between altered consciousness and spirituality. Huxley says, “Religion combined with mescaline could be God’s special gift revealing the workings of the divine Spirit.”The title of this classic comes from William Blake’s The Marriage of Heaven and Hell: “If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things through narrow chinks of his cavern.” Ebook here:
