This is a really cool response to The Doors of Perception. But, I definately favor The Doors of Perception. Therefore, I lean more to talking about The Doors of Perception. But, both of the works are really interesting to read and are written in such an intriguing way. I really did not know much about some of the things which he was analyzing, but he describes things well and makes it easy to comprehend and even picture.

Also I never took mescaline but I have been hypnotised and the way in which he describes the effects of the/his use of mescalin, lysergic acid, stroboscopic lamp, and hypnosis to get to the antipode area is really neat. And, I understand that the antipodes is an area of deep collective unconscious, but did he create this? Or is this something studied or how does it work?

He also saw really cool geometrical forms and enormous gothic buildings. He noted these beautiful landscapes, figures, animals, and gem stones and everything is shown in really vivid color. Is he saying that we would see things this way if the "restricting valve" was not so tight? Or we should be seeing things this way during periods of intense concentration, sex?

"This how one ought to see...these are the sort of things one ought to look at....things without pretensions, satisfied to be merely themselves, sufficient in their Suchness, not acting a part, not trying, insanely, to go it alone, in isolation from the Dharma-Body, in Luciferian defiance of the grace of god."<----ooooooo!
