Heaven and Hell

I found this reading very interesting and facinating. It refers to how different shapes and colors in nature or artwork can be "transporting" and take a person to "other worlds" I prefered this reading more than doors of perception though they were both interesting. It is so true when Huxley mentions how the everyday objects and colors we are used to today were not always available and usually owned by the few prevelidged. Some colors and metals when they were new or rare would put people in an altered state becaused they would be so entranced by the colors and reflections. The traditional things that led to altered states do not work so effectively anymore for most of us because we are so used to things like the neon signs and crome and other metel items such as our sinks and dishes. It is hard to imagine some of the things that would lead people to vissions and still due. A person just needs the right type of environment and sometimes drugs such as mescaline. While many vissions can be heavenly there is also always the violent and trechoris visions as well. The mood also tends to have an affect when interacting with certain colors and sounds.
