The Doors of Perception by Aldous Huxley
4.0
The year is 1954 and one of the most prominent writers alive does Mescaline and has an encounter with the All, reality, and the varying views found within.
This is a very short vignette that asks the most important questions of the 20th century, most of which are left unanswered today, or are being examined still.
Every door I look behind that isn't Orthodox Catholicism or Modern Rationalism contains the same sets of rhyming information. Add Huxley to the list of Occultist Geniuses who challenged the status quo thinking, whose name is taught in nearly every high school, without ever expanding on their world view.
Huxley calls out Drunk Driving 25 years before Madd, and expounds heavily on Alcohol versus Psychedelics.He blasts Tobacco use.
What I find crazy is how much good wisdom is left to the bookshelves and ignorance maintains it's grip over governance.
