Aldous Huxley’s “The Doors of Perception and Heaven and Hell” are two essays that explore the impact of psychoactive substances. In “The Doors of Perception,” published in 1954, Huxley shares his experiences with mescaline, delving into everything from aesthetic appreciation to spiritual insights. “Heaven and Hell” further elaborates on these thoughts. These works, often bundled together, played a significant role in shaping the counterculture of the 1960s. The title is inspired by William Blake’s 1793 work, “The Marriage of Heaven and Hell.”
