hows that book and whats it about? the libary doesnt have it so i would have to buy it, do you think its worth buying?
It is definitely worth buying. In it, the noted author Aldous Huxley uses various psychedelics & records the results of his experiments.. The observations are very insightful & offer much on the topic of consciousness itself. You should check it out.. it's easy to find in most bookstores. Most editions come coupled with the similarly-themed (and also Blake-titled) Marriage of Heaven & Hell. I hope you find it alright & enjoy.
the text is available online... (maybe at www.erowid.org or www.lycaeum.org or www.psychedelic-library.org or www.csp.org ... click around...) the book is quite worth the read... it is aldous huxley's musings on his first mesaline trip back in the mid-50s... the mescaline was supplied by a couple of canadian doctors involved in psychedelic therapy at a saskatchewan hospital; they gave him the mescalin in the hills overlooking los angeles... another psychedelic essay by huxley is _heaven and hell: a voyage to the antipodes of the mind_ aldous huxley's collected psychedelic writings are gathed in _moksha_ ~ sorta related: alan watts also wrote very interesting material concerning his psychedelic experiences, including the gorgeous _the joyous cosmology_
Aldous Huxley is one of my fav authors. Even though his writing can become a bit technical it really is a joy to read. Not to mention very thought provoking. THey should make kids read his works in school!
