Talk:The Doors of Perception

message: From the article:
:This must be similar to how manic-depressive people feel and helps to understand them and their way of perceiving and reacting to their environment. 
Really? Cite, please?
To be added: 
:Mention of walt disney's involvement with Aldous Huxley? Is this just a rumor, or are there any reputable sources avalible?
While I'm sure Jim Morrison was familiar with this book, I'm also pretty sure he knew Blake, so without a citation I'm not sure if it's clear that he named The Doors after this book or after the quotation from Blake's poem. Does anyone have a citation for that claim?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.42.129.30 (talk) 14:41, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: although i too question the necessity of the image. it is stated, "the image serves as the primary means of visual identification of the subject (the book). it illustrates educational articles about the book from which the cover illustration was taken." however, is the "visual identification of the book" really pertinent, and belonging to the article?

message: Because it taught me nothing about the Doors of Perception.  Where is the summary?  You just have a few quotes written by Huxley himself. Please, a synopsis.  What is Aldy's philosophy in this book?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Seanpatnaude (talk • contribs) 22:32, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  I don't much like this article 

message: The quotes are rather...obscure, not to mention verbose.  It sounds like he wrote it while high on whatever drug he was taking (mescaline or otherwise).  Or perhaps he did write it while sober, but no one who has taken such perception altering drugs could possibly understand what he's really trying to say. 72.92.173.86 (talk) 05:56, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  did Huxley write this while ON mescaline? 

message: "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."
-- i've reverted "through" to "thro'," so as to reflect the way blake chose to write it in his original manuscript. however, i still wonder if it should be written as "thro'" or as "through," and thought i could call for some opinions here. Twipley (talk) 19:53, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  blake's original quote wording 

message: :You are the most articulate guinea pig that any scientist could hope to engage.
The importance of this quote cannot be emphasized enough.  One of the problems with people who use drugs, is that very few of them have the mind of Huxley. Viriditas (talk) 04:42, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Most important quote 

message: It is written in this article that the book was published in 1954. However, it also says that the experiment that Huxley is talking about happened during October, 1955 (this date also appears in Laura Huxley's Timeless Moment--and might be inaccurate). One of those two dates must be wrong. But which one? (2/19/2013 - 3:21PM - USA)
:Pub date is definitely 1954, see . The other date doesn't have to be wrong. The next edition may have been a revised one.  Yworo (talk) 07:09, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh, you're talking about the LSD date. The book isn't about his LSD experiences. He didn't take LSD until after the book was finished. The book is about his mescaline experiences. Yworo (talk) 07:14, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
