Happy Birthday to Aldous Huxley, whose 1954 account of a mescaline trip in Doors of Perception, and his follow up in Heaven and Hell, remains one of the best-written and most influential of trip reports. In fact, his 'Reducing Valve' theory of the action of psychedelics, according to which they reduce the brain's ability to filter out unnecessary information, remains popular to this day.

Huxley was a strong believer in the potential of psychedelics and of the perfectly natural and rational desire to alter one's own consciousness. In a fitting quirk of fate, he was also a regular visitor to Beckley Park, long before it became the HQ of the The Beckley Foundation, and based the manor in his 1921 novel, Crome Yellow, on the house.

📚To celebrate the 128th anniversary of his birth, why not pick up one of his works and support psychedelic research at https://uk.bookshop.org/lists/a-brave-new-world-selected-works-of-aldous-huxley
