The Doors of Perception
The Doors of Perception is a 1954 book by Aldous Huxley detailing his experiences when taking mescaline. This short book is considered to be one of the most profound studies of the effects of mind-expanding drugs and what they teach about how the mind works. The title comes from William Blake's The Marriage of Heaven and Hell: "If the doors of perception were cleansed,every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things through narrow chinks of his cavern." -
Brave New World
Recorded Live - One Cassette Huxley narrates this 1956 radio dramatization of an excerpt from his best-known book, "Brave New World", with an original score composed and conducted by Bernard Herrmann. Note: The inherent difficulities of live recordings and the age of some of the recordings can cause variations in the sound quality. ALDOUS HUXLEY (1894-1963 British-born novelist, poet, essayist, philosopher and mystic, Huxley was fascinated by the wilder margins of psychology, medicine, the occult, drugs and religion. He was a man of exceptional vision and foresight, and his breadth of learning was astounding. He wrote over 50 books, including such classics as "The Doors of Perception", "Island", and "Brave New World". "Huxley was a scientist and artist in one, standing for all we most need in a fragmented world where each of us carries a distorting splinter out of some great, shattered, universal mirror. He made it his mission to restore these fragments" - Yehudi Menuhin -
Brave New World
Far in the future, the World Controllers have created the ideal society. Through the clever mix of genetic engineering, brainwashing and recreational sex and drugs, everyone is a happy consumer. Bernard Marx seems alone in his discontent.
