The Doors<\/em><\/a> got their name from this quote. Jim Morrison loved the works of William Blake. These two inspired giants have been exchanging above space and time.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jim Morrison wasn’t the first celebrity to like this quote. The writer of the famous novel Brave New World, Aldous Huxley made it the title of his drug-taking journal. “The Doors of Perception relate a medical (and philosophical) experience to which the writer Aldous HUXLEY participated in May 1953 in California.<\/em>” (source<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Huxley tells how several doses of mescaline led him to perceive differently. It is true that drugs can be used as a can opener … in some particularly clogged subjects, adds Juan Matus the benefactor<\/a> of “Carlito” Castaneda<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But the opening of the doors of perception, in William Blake’s point of view as in mine, is not at all linked to drugs. There are other ways to open them, safer and less illegal.<\/p>\n

Now you get it all right. Perception has doors, and those doors are closed. Sad truth. What to do? Kick open those fucking doors if necessary. Call me kick ass, brother. Some of my pages are happy kicks to the asses who deserve them … or need them.<\/p>\n

Most of my stories aim to bring fresh air and new song. An article jumps out at you, there is a before and an after. Something has changed. You breathe bigger, you see wider. That’s my storyteller job. To offer awakening opportunities. In the hope they open some doors of perception.<\/p>\n

What doors?<\/h4>\n

Holy shit! The perception is not closed. If it were, we wouldn’t feel, we wouldn’t hear, we wouldn’t see. I know very well that the austere Descartes<\/a> maintains that our senses deceive us. Is it what you mean? Our deceiving senses keep the doors of perception closed?<\/p>\n

Our senses do not deceive us, Descartes deceived us. He trusts the brain too much. Naive man he was. “I think so I am<\/em>“!! His cogito is bullshit. Let’s move on, I already talked about it.<\/a><\/p>\n

Our senses send their message to the brain. Our senses faithfully record data, but the brain interprets it. It undergoes multiple influences: conditioning, unconscious impulses, societal censorship, common sense, previous experiences, plausibility, conformism … Many parameters modify the raw message of our senses.<\/p>\n

All reality exists in the mind. The outer phenomenon, that which appears, is only its outer expression. The visible universe is the reflection of the invisible,<\/p>
