Published in 1954, this remains a classic in the literature of psychedelia and spirituality

April 28, 2016

I first read this book when I was 13. I am now 66. Did it influence my life? Looking back, perhaps even more so than I had realized. It was 1963 when I read it. I had been reading dystopias and had just finished “Brave New World.” There was so much talk about LSD, mescaline, peyote and other hallucinogens as being “mind-expanding” and all that stuff that is now history. One interesting point of history regarding Aldous Huxley’s life. He died the day JFK was shot. He was taking LSD at the time because he wanted to experience death as fully as he could.
The title was taken from William Blake who had said, “If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite.” That quote and this book would later help Jim Morrison in naming his band, “The Doors.”
I read it with rapt attention. I was entranced. When I reread it recently, I was amazed at how much I remembered and how much of my life choices it had influenced.
I do remember that I promised myself at that young age, that when I was older, I would try these drugs as the search for “God” and spirituality was very important to me then and is still now.
In particular, I recall the passage where, staring at a simple chair, Huxley waxed eloquently about what the chair revealed about its maker. Most of all, I recall his referring to perceiving the “isness” of the chair.
This book was originally published in 1954. It was an important book then and it remains so now. It is a “must-have” for the library of any seeker of the truth, any who seek “higher learning”, (pun intended and not), any who are investigators of world spirituality. Very highly recommended.

Beware of the “Important Books” edition!

March 3, 2018

This is a great book, but be sure to avoid the “Important Books” edition (the one with the black cover and red/green/white lettering). It is a bootleg printing of terrible quaity. The cover image is a low-resolution jpeg that’s been stretched to more than twice its original size, the text inside was obviously edited in MS word without any care. Do not buy this edition, you will be better off reading from a computer screen.

Classic, Good Read, Ahead of its Time.

June 11, 2018

This book didn’t blow my mind (mainly because anyone who’s versed in psychedelics has likely read more recent material than this 1952 book, as much progress has been made on the ideas Huxley discusses) however it presents some very interesting and valid thoughts and observances, especially for its time. It’s safe to say that several of his descriptions and assumptions were well ahead of their time and resonate with me by remaining relevant even in the present day.

The one thing I didn’t like about the book is that I felt it went off subject and drifted too much with irrelevant subject matter – however – considering when it was written, this may have been necessary to paint an accurate picture and to articulate a comparison of “normal” reality for those unacquainted with LSD, psilocybin or Mescaline.

I would recommend this read to anyone who likes Huxley and has an interest in the classic early writings on psychedelics.

A shaky finger pointed toward Oneness

October 19, 2021

An English intellectual seeks self-transcendence by taking mescaline, his stunning account shakes hippies everywhere out of “the rut of ordinary perception,” helps kick off the counterculture movement, and inspired the name of the 1960’s rock and roll band The Doors. It is full of spiritual insights rich with the influence of Vedanta and Buddhism like these:

”…Reality shines out of every appearance…”
”…see the All in every this…”
”…a perpetual present made up of one continually changing apocalypse.”
”…the blessed Not-I, released for a moment from my throttling embrace.”

Oh, and Huxley’s other book with references to hallucinogens, Heaven and Hell, is usually bound together with the 79-page book to give it a respectable thickness. I wouldn’t bother reading Heaven & Hell, though, unless you’re a huge art history buff. For a man who had to read with a magnifying glass his whole adult life (due to childhood keratitis), he sure loves art.

Among the dualism-piercing totalities explored through Huxley’s psychedelic adventure, we also encounter outdated cultural references, lots of art history, and detailed comparisons to Christian theology. I’m glad I finally read this one, but I wouldn’t jump up and down to get you to read it too.
