“Aldous Huxley took the drug mescaline and then chronicled his experience in the book The Doors of Perception. Now, I don't actually think that's the first thing he wrote: he probably wrote 'my brain is melting' ten thousand times, but it was the book that the critics latched on to.” ThinkingFirstsBookHumorFunnyBrainDoorsDrugThousandTenPerceptionCriticsMeltingHuxleyDoors Of Perception Author:Bill Bailey
“I think that most technology is positive in the short term, and negative in the long term. I wonder, if somebody looked back at the 20th and 21st centuries a thousand years from now, what their perception of the car would be. Or of television.

“If a tablet is not wiped clean of it's figures, nothing can be written upon it. A single heart cannot serve as the place for two things, let alone for several things. If the heart is filled with the forms of sensory perceptions, it is rare that it would perceive the meaning of Allah, even if one were to say Allah a thousand times. When the heart is empty of all that is other-than-God, if one uttered Allah only once, one would find such bliss that the tongue could not describe.” IfsHeartTwoFormWrittenFiguresThousandPerceptionEmptyFilledCleanTonguePerceiveBlissTwo ThingsEmptinessSensoryTabletsSensory Perception Author:Ibn Ata Allah
