Description
The Doors of Perception and Heaven and Hell is a profound account of Aldous Huxley's famous experimentation with mescalin, an experience that has had a lasting impact on writers and artists.
In 1953, Huxley took a small dose of mescalin and waited to see what would happen. What he described was a transformative experience, where everything around him was altered in an instant. He went on to explore the history and nature of mysticism in Heaven and Hell, a work that remains a fascinating and influential account of the visionary experience.
With a foreword by J.G. Ballard, this collection of writings offers a unique insight into the power of psychedelics and the human experience. a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the intersection of psychology, philosophy, and spirituality.
