Aldous Huxley (1894-1963) was an English writer and philosopher who wrote nearly 50 books, as well as essays, narratives, and poems. The Doors of Perception (1954) which takes its title from a phrase in William Blake's poem "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell", describes the author’s experiences with peyote and mescaline in 1953. Huxley discusses the insights he gained, that ranged form the purely aesthetic to the spiritual vision, and relates them to philosophy, art, science and religion. He believed that the mystical experience attained through psychedelics is valuable as it gives the experiencers a better understanding of themselves and the world and because it may help them to lead a more creative life.
