Fascinating.
You must have a Hell if you have a Heaven. One of those dichotomies of life. If everything was
perfect, how would you know? It is only when we have something with which to compare experiences can we truly see what is good or evil. We agree that murder is bad but self defense is not. Both take a life, but do they weigh upon the conscience in the same way? I don't see how they could but the psyche is a strange thing. I don't know and I hope I don't have to find out.
Huxley appears to be saying that how you go into your experience determines the type of "trip" you will have. (Right?) That seems to make sense to me. You hear about different types of drunks: mean, loud, affectionate, sad; I would expect that a lot of that is based on your subconscious. The alcohol just ramps up the already existing emotions and I would imagine that the psychotropics just accentuate the mood of how you go in.
The dude took 100 journeys with the shaman! I love Moebius' artwork, never really thought that he might be using mood-altering substances, though it makes a lot of sense now that I see the worlds that are inhabited when you crossover. I just thought he had a very vivid imagination. And as an artist I guess he does. He just brought some of the stuff back with him.
