In 1954 Aldous Huxley published his now famous book The Doors of Perception. This described in detail Huxley’s experiences with mescaline. From this, he concluded that Henri Bergson was right to conclude that the human brain acts as a “reducing valve” in that it filters sensory information and presents to consciousness a restricted and censored version of the true “reality” of the external world. In his new book, Opening The Doors of Perception, Anthony Peake has taken Huxley’s ideas and updated them in the light of 21st-century science and, in doing so, presents a revolutionary new model of the mind-matter interface. Anthony presents overpowering material from the worlds of quantum mechanics, neurology and neurochemistry suggesting that hallucinations and other altered-states of consciousness such as the NDE, alien encounters, spirit communications and the Out-of-Body Experience, are evidence that reality is far richer and complex than our everyday senses suggest. This book has already been awarded a very rare ten out of ten rating by the popular magazine Fortean Times. Join Anthony at his SPR lecture and make up your own mind as to whether his theoretical model, something he terms the “Huxleyian Spectrum”, offers a radical new explanation of psychic and associated phenomena.
