Foreword

 

This little book is a sequel to an essay on the mescaline experience, published two years ago under the title of The Doors of Perception.  For a person in whom ‘the candle of vision’ never burns spontaneously, the mescalin experience is doubly illuminating.  It throws light on the hitherto unknown regions of his own mind; and at the same time it throws light, indirectly, on other minds, more richly gifted in respect to vision than his own.  Reflecting on his experience, he comes to a new and better understanding of the ways in which those other minds perceive and feel and think, of the cosmological motions which seem to them self-evident, and of the works of art through which they feel impelled to express themselves.  In what follows I have tried to set down, more or less systematically, the results of this new understanding.
