Aldus Huxley's: "The Doors to Perception" response vol. 1

Aldux Huxley took mescalin in the spring of 1953. At this point in time mescalin had been researched for over seventy years. His experiences were not what his predictions entailed. He was prepared by descriptions by authors Blake and A.E. He was with trusted friends and the provider who is known as the investigator while the duration of the effects of the drug ensued.

His antcipation of visual shapes seen behind closed eyes was not what he saw as the first sign of the drug's effects. He was in his first hour of taking the drug when he noticed a row of lights that appeared to be dancing and with a golden light surrounding their ballet. Soon after he saw a row of red power nods, blinking powerfully and emitting strong red glows. The flowers in his study along with anything else he took notice of seemed to have a more vivid beauty to them.

His predictions of the drug's effects were close but in no means excact. He was in waiting of seeing large multi-colored geometrical designs that are lavisly deisigned with stones of great value. He was never invisioned by heroic figures and the bodies of large mammal animals. He did on occasion see gray strutures with his eye's closed, but not with as much color as things he could see with eyes open.

After sometime, his colleagues began to question the physicological effects the drug had on him. When Huxley was asked about spaital relationships he found that the answer elleuded him. He was no longer conciously pondering the basic ideas behind spaital relationships. His eyes and mind never even contemplated questions like "Where?--How far?--How situated in relationship to what?" This is might have something to do with his conception for the room that his friends described to him was slightly altered, in the sense that the corners of the room were not meeting in right angles.
