The Doors of Perception

Surprisingly insightful for the time; much holds true today. I loved this:

But the man who comes back through the Door in the Wall will never be quite the same as the man who went out. He will be wiser but less cocksure, happier but less self-satisfied, humbler in acknowledging his ignorance yet better equipped to understand the relationship of words to things, of systematic reasoning to the unfathomable Mystery which it tries, forever vainly, to comprehend.

After hearing for several years in the internet about this boom I gave it a go.

So glad I did.

Aldous was one of Britain’s brightest. He tried mescaline as a research project, and oh my, I wish I had at least 1% of his eloquent speech and highly accurate descriptive language of intrinsic and extrinsic phenomenon that happen in ineffable experiences.

Its like reliving a small hit when you read. Very interesting.
