The Doors of Perception

De: Aldous Huxley

Narrado por: Rudolph Schirmer

The critically acclaimed novelist and social critic Aldous Huxley, describes his personal experimentation with the drug mescaline and explores the nature of visionary experience. The title of this classic 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."©1954 Aldous Huxley (P)2009 BBC Audio

Great voice

Vocal performance was lovely. Mind opening classic. Very relaxing experience. Would highly recommend to any psychonaut. Four more words here.

Loved the book. Hated the reader

The book is just great. I first read it in 1970, and picked up the audiobook as soon as I saw it. But the readers voice was too distracting to really enjoy the book. Will definitely avoid him in the future.

Mind altering

This is a great book on so many levels, so well written, and helps pick apart a number of psychological facts and ideas in current psychological literature whilst taking you through a painting of the world around, with the senses on full openness where objects stop being objects of action and meaning but become life and truth themselves. Read this now.

Must Read

if you are hear you are on the right path. A must read for everyone

Rich and Insightful

Finally got around to listening to this and I am so glad I did! I wasn't sure about the narrator at first but ended up absolutely loving his delivery! Wish it were a longer book!
