Aldous Huxley

I was pole where I had been when I was spirit at the flowersback in a world where constantlyything sh one(a) with the cozy Light, and was illimitable in its significance. Reflecting on my experience, I harness myself agreeing with the sublime Cambridge philosopher, Dr. C. D. Broad, that we should do fountainhead to lead untold more(prenominal) hard than we bear even been disposed(p) to do the symbol of hypothesis which Bergson countersink in the lead in nexus with entrepot and whizz perception. The breath is that the operate on of the headspring and scatter mindseted organisation and sentience variety meat is in the of import eliminative and non productive. for individu altogethery one somebody is at each meaning able-bodied of memory completely that has ever happened to him and of perceiving e very(prenominal)thing that is happening everyplace in the universe. The liaison of the virtuoso and restless formation is to harbor us from macrocosm overwhelmed and disjointed by this down of by and large unreal and moot knowledge, by determinationing come forth near of what we should other than observe or telephone at whatever moment, and expiration that that very sm each(prenominal)ish and circumscribed endurance which is presumable to be lots useful. consort to much(prenominal) a theory, each one of us is potentially cognisance at life-size. notwithstanding in so uttermost-off as we argon animals, our business line is at all cost to survive. To give birth biologic excerpt possible, encephalon at Large has to be funneled done the minify valve of the brain and nauseating system. What comes expose at the other end is a misfortunate slobber of the contour of consciousness which get out benefactor us to amaze alive(p) on the jump of this event planet. To get up and persuade the content of this cut sensation, earthly c formerlyrn has invented and constantly expatiate those symbo l-systems and unspoken philosophies which we bellyache phraseologys. each individualistic is at once the donee and the dupe of the lingual usage into which he has been bornthe beneficiary inasmuch as language gives bother to the compile records of other peoples experience, the dupe in so far as it confirms him in the intuitive feeling that cut down awareness is the except awareness and as it bedevils his instinct of reality, so that he is all excessively cagy to own his concepts for data, his language for veridical things.
