1956 Housewife LSD experience video

Migrated topic.
Yeah I saw that on iambored dot com a little while ago. Very interesting video. I like how they took a tested "normal" person (a DEA's wife no less) and gave her a trip she could have never expected. You can literally see her eyes opening for the first time.
 
Aldous Huxley in The Doors of Perception said:
"Is it agreeable?" somebody asked. (During this Part of the experiment, all conversations were recorded on a dictating machine, and it has been possible for me to refresh my memory of what was said.)

"Neither agreeable nor disagreeable," I answered. "it just is."

Istigkeit - wasn't that the word Meister Eckhart liked to use? "Is-ness." The Being of Platonic philosophy - except that Plate seems to have made the enormous, the grotesque mistake of separating Being from becoming and identifying it with the mathematical abstraction of the Idea. He could never, poor fellow, have seen a bunch of flowers shining with their own inner light and all but quivering under the pressure of the significance with which they were charged; could never have perceived that what rose and iris and carnation so intensely signified was nothing more, and nothing less, than what they were - a transience that was yet eternal life, a perpetual perishing that was at the same time pure Being, a bundle of minute, unique particulars in which, by some unspeakable and yet self-evident paradox, was to be seen the divine source of all existence.

"I hope I'm normal. I think I am..."

CUT TO THREE HOURS LATER:

"Me? there isn't any ME...!"

"I wish I could talk in technicolor..."

"Inside? I don't have any inside..."

"I've never seen such infinite beauty in my life."

"You'll just never know it. I feel sorry for you..."


:d :d :d :d

Definitely normal.

Has anyone read the book associated with this article (Harvard Psychedelic Club)? Looks like a new book published in 2011 per Amazon, costs about $10.

Just picked it up, about a quarter of the way through it and can't put it down, really well written and engaging.
