Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.com
Sometimes a writer has to revisit the classics, and here we find that "gonzo journalism"--gutsy first-person accounts wherein the author is part of the story--didn't originate with Hunter S. Thompson or Tom Wolfe. Aldous Huxley took some mescaline and wrote about it some 10 or 12 years earlier than those others. The book he came up with is part bemused essay and part mystical treatise--"suchness" is everywhere to be found while under the influence. This is a good example of essay writing, journal keeping, and the value of controversy--always--in one's work.

Kurzbeschreibung
Two classic texts in one volume reveal Huxley's explorations into the mind's remote frontiers and the unmapped areas of human consciousness.

Format:Taschenbuch
I was turned onto Doors/Heaven and Hell by myPhilosophy/English Professor. Due to my extended research intodreaming and perception, this was as insightful as they come. This book goes beyond the use of drugs; identifying with religion, art, philosophies, etc., it explains that humans tend to be one sided, and are unable to look or percieve normalcy except by looking at things...normally. It's sad that it takes drug use to be able to percieve objects beyond what they really are, yet, Huxley explains, compares and vividly depicts, not only his experience with mescalin and LCD, but how and why people are not able to visualize things in ways other than they already are,(Out-There, In-Here). Huxley writes about experiences and perception when these drugs are being used--rationally, making Huxley a writer, and a "visionary." And he does so with panache.

Not only did Huxley somewhat founded the Gonzo Journalism by writing down his experiences with Mescaline, but he also "launched a lot of trips" (as the back describes it) with this publication. If You have read Island or Brave New World You can't help but recognize the analogies he points out, in terms of how individuals perceive and interact with their environment. Letting You plunge into the depths of his mind (the antipodes, as he calls it) and trying to convey his perception of things out- and inside his mind(experiencing the "suchness" of things) alone is a very difficult, not to say impossible task. However Huxley is stepping even further as he explores the longing of humans beings for mysticism and it's usage. Having read Carl G. Jung ("Die Beziehung zwischen dem Unterbewusstsein und dem Ich") last week I desperately want to revisit "The Doors of Perception" to come full circle with the psychological and the resulting external activities.
Whether you are interested in psychology, awareness alterative substances, religion or living life, this book is a must read!
Funny-Fact: The music band "The Doors" named themselves after this book!

Aldous Huxley's "Doors of Perception" is a truly inspiring book. Huxley not only describes his own experiences with mescaline in great detail, but also explains the physiological reasons for his experience and gives his own explanation of human art and religion.
