  • What did I just take?

    Jeni C. - 5 years ago

    An amazing description of Huxley's (supervised) experimentation with hallucinogenics - mescaline, specifically - and his subsequently altered perception of the worlds around him and within him, both during and after the experience(s) themselves. Extremely insightful and paradigm-shattering for the reader. Incites a necessary shift of perspective and details the mental and emotional journey required; which may at first be painful and uncomfortable, but ultimately leads to a richer engagement with life in general and in specific for any who try to emulate Huxley's hyper-awareness of the connectivity and beauty of everything.

  • Huxley's Great Psychological/Philosophical Achievement

    HPB S. - 5 years 10 months ago

    A strange but enlightening journey into the importance of every existing thing, Huxley's encyclopedic mind is on full display as art and reality are merged in this great psychological experiment. A beautiful, relatively short read that is well worth it. Huxley's explanation of our relationship with the rest of the universe is truly interesting and eye-opening.

  • What did I just take?

    Hector C. - 6 years 7 months ago

    An amazing description of Huxley's experimentation with hallucinogenics (mescaline, specifically), and his altered perception of the world around him both during and after the experiments themselves. Extremely insightful and paradigm-shattering for the reader; causing the necessary shift of perspective, which may at first be painful and uncomfortable, but ultimately leads to a richer engagement with life in general and in specific.
