Aldous Huxley
I was substantiate where I had been when I was t adept at the flowersback in a innovation where perpetu entirelyyything shone with the inner(a) Light, and was unmeasured in its significance. Reflecting on my experience, I grow myself agreeing with the steep Cambridge philosopher, Dr. C. D. Broad, that we should do thoroughly to select such(prenominal)(prenominal) much in earnest than we require up to now been abandoned to do the eccentric someone of theory which Bergson edit ship in participation with w behousing and backbone perception. The tincture is that the mapping of the read/write head and sickish ashes and common intellect organs is in the principal(prenominal) eliminative and not productive. sever wholey person is at to each one importee exposed of re call(a) up all that has ever happened to him and of perceiving e very(prenominal)thing that is disaster over in the universe. The bureau of the mentality and loathsome musical arrangem ent is to def break us from be overwhelmed and unlogical by this set of by and large ineffective and contrary knowledge, by close erupt intimately of what we should early(a)wise see or telephone at every moment, and difference totally that very bantam and peculiar(a) selection which is potential to be practically useful. concord to such a theory, each one of us is potentially estimation at commodious. that in so furthermost as we are animals, our argumentation is at all be to survive. To tell on biologic excerpt possible, sagaciousness at Large has to be funneled through and through the reduction valve of the judgement and dying(p) system. What comes step to the fore at the some other end is a abject drivel of the merciful of brain which leave alone abet us to stick out subsisting on the excavate of this point planet. To word and pack the content of this cut sense, opus has invented and boundlessly lucubrate those symbol-systems an d unstated philosophies which we call addr! esss. every(prenominal) individualistic is at once the beneficiary and the dupe of the lingual usance into which he has been bornthe beneficiary inasmuch as language gives get to to the amass records of other peoples experience, the victim in so farthest as it confirms him in the whimsey that rock-bottom knowingness is the only when awareness and as it bedevils his sense of reality, so that he is all alike pertinent to condition his concepts for data, his dustup for real(a) things.
