Aldous Huxley Quotes
I Am Not So Foolish As To Equate What Happens Under The Influence Of Mescalin Or Of Any Other Drug, Prepared Or In The Future Preparable, With The Realization Of The End And Ultimate Purpose Of Human Life: Enlightenment, The Beatific Vision. All I Am Suggesting Is That The Mescalin Experience Is What Catholic Theologians Call "a Gratuitous Grace," Not Necessary To Salvation But Potentially Helpful And To Be Accepted Thankfully, If Made Available. To Be Shaken Out Of The Ruts Of Ordinary Perception, To Be Shown For A Few Timeless Hours The Outer And The Inner World, Not As They Appear To An Animal Obsessed With Survival Or To A Human Being Obsessed With Words And Notions, But As They Are Apprehended, Directly And Unconditionally, By Mind At Large - This Is An Experience Of Inestimable Value To Everyone And Especially To The Intellectual.
