Description

In this episode of The Infinite Spark of Being Podcast, we explore the psychedelic philosophy and spiritual legacy of Aldous Huxley—author of Brave New World and The Doors of Perception.

We look at how Huxley’s experience with mescaline, his views on the mind as a “reducing valve,” and his involvement in the psychedelic movement shaped how we understand consciousness, perception, and spiritual awakening today. From his embrace of Vedanta philosophy to the conspiracies around his influence on counterculture and his LSD-assisted death, this episode offers both a historical lens and a deeply personal takeaway: how loosening the grip of the mind can help us live with more clarity, compassion, and connection.
