After offering himself up as a test subject Huxley was administered a supervised dose and as he explains via William Blake's The Marriage of Heaven and Hell "the doors of perception were cleansed." In his introduction Huxley explains: "The other world which mescaline admitted me was not the world of visions; it existed out there in what I could see with my eyes open. The great change was in the realm of objective fact . I was seeing what Adam had seen on the morning of his creation - the miracle moment by moment of naked existence." While criticized for its promotion of psychedelic drug use The Doors of Perception was also a foundational text for the 1960s counterculture inspiring both Timothy Leary's psychedelic research and Jim Morrison's band The Doors. In 1958 Huxley published a sequel - the essay "Heaven and Hell" which refers to the two possible experiences one will have after breaking through the "doors of perception." . First Edition.
