Crossing Over

To be shaken out of the ruts of ordinary perception, to be shown for a few timeless hours the outer and inner world, not as they appear to an animal obsessed with survival or to a human being obsessed with words and notions, but as they are apprehended, directly and unconditionally by Mind at Large... The man who comes back through the Door in the Wall will never be quite the same as the man who went out.
- Aldous Huxley
