The critically acclaimed novelist and social critic Aldous Huxley, describes his personal experimentation with the drug mescaline and explores the nature of visionary experience. 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."©1954 Aldous Huxley (P)2009 BBC Audio Thought-Provoking Philosophy Psychology Inspiring Psychology & Mental Health Funny Suspenseful

Amazingly interesting, intelligent, and honest. Huxley not only helps us better understand the nature of spiritual reality, he makes a case for the intelligent and spiritual use of mescaline, that’s peyote in the native American tradition. Thanks.

Huxley rocks still.
