The metaphor of Doors of Perception was first used by William Blake in his poem The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, to represent his feelings about man- kind’s limited perception of the reality about them: “If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, Infinite”. Aldous Huxley’s philosophical essay takes its title from that verse in Blake’s poem. In Huxley’s work, he writes about entering “more elevated” levels of consciousness in order to explore our perception.
