I enjoyed reading Huxley's "Heaven and Hell" essay. To be completely honest, it wasn't at all what I expected. The essay explains the relationship between bright, colorful objects, geometric designs, psychoactives, art, and profound experience.
I particularly found Huxley talking about the difference between mystical experience and visionary experience and how the mystical is beyond the realm of opposites and visionary is still within the realm of opposites very interesting.
Being a religious person, whenever I think of heaven and hell, I automatically think about Dante Alighieri's "The Divine Comedy." His images of hell, purgatory, and heaven are brilliantly thought out and visually stunning.
