This Timeless Moment by Laura Archera Huxley
Personal View of Aldous Huxley
This memoir reveals the Aldous Huxley behind the writings, his emotional and intellectual freedom, his humour and ultimately his tenderness and compassion. His psychedelic experiences and interest in Eastern mystic religions accompany the moving story of his later years with his wife, Laura.Long before "turn on, tune in, drop out" became the credo of contemporary counterculture, Aldous Huxley was using mescaline and LSD in controlled, carefully documented experiments. Accounts of those psychedelic experiences, along with his interest in Eastern mystic religions, accompany the moving story of his later years with his wife, Laura, whom he met in 1948 and married in 1956. Huxley's fascination with the spiritual world remained with him throughout his life and never wavered through his final illness in 1963. This memoir allows the reader to understand the man behind the writings, his emotional and intellectual freedom, his humour, and ultimately his tenderness and compassion. |
