The Perennial Philosophy is expressed most succinctly in the Sanskrit formula, tat tvam asi ('That art thou') the Atman, or immanent eternal Self, is one with Brahman, the Absolute Principle of all existence and the last end of every human being, is to discover the fact for himself, to find out who he really is.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Indifference to all the refinements of life--it's really shocking. Just Calvinism, that's all. Calvinism without the excuse of Calvin's theology.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Ignore death up to the last moment then, when it can't be ignored any longer, have yourself squirted full of morphia and shuffle off in a coma. Thoroughly sensible, humane and scientific, eh?
Aldous Huxley
Image
Man approaches the unattainable truth through a succession of errors.
Aldous Huxley
Image
To talk about religion except in terms of human psychology is an irrelevance.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Love casts out fear but conversely fear casts out love. And not only love. Fear also casts out intelligence, casts out goodness, casts out all thought of beauty and truth.
Aldous Huxley
Image
I have spoken so far only of the blissful visionary experience? But visionary experience is not always blissful. It's sometimes terrible. There is hell as well as heaven.
Aldous Huxley
Image
In spiritual matters, knowledge is dependent upon being as we are, so we know.
Aldous Huxley

Let us be kinder to one another.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Man's life on earth has only one end and purpose: to identify himself with his eternal Self and so to come to unitive knowledge of the Divine Ground.
Aldous Huxley
Image
What with making their way and enjoying what they have won, heroes have no time to think. But the sons of heroes - ah, they have all the necessary leisure.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Facts are ventriloquist’s dummies. Sitting on a wise man’s knee they may be made to utter words of wisdom elsewhere, they say nothing, or talk nonsense, or indulge in sheer diabolism.
Aldous Huxley
Image
A child-like man is not a man whose development has been arrested on the contrary, he is a man who has given himself a chance of continuing to develop long after most adults have muffled themselves in the cocoon of middle-aged habit and convention.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Art, I suppose, is only for beginners, who have made up in their minds to be content with symbols rather than with what they signify, with the elegantly composed recipe in lieu of actual dinner.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Liberate yourselves from everything you know and look with complete innocence at this infinitely improbable thing before you.
Aldous Huxley
Image
All our science is just a cookery book, with an orthodox theory of cooking that nobody's allowed to question, and a list of recipes that mustn't be added to except by special permission from the head cook.
Aldous Huxley
Image
The rush to books and universities is like the rush to the public house. People want to drown their realization of the difficulties of living properly in this grotesque contemporary world, they want to forget their own deplorable inefficiency as artists in life.
Aldous Huxley
Image
The present moment is the only aperture through which the soul can pass out of time into eternity, through which grace can pass out of eternity into the soul, and through which love can pass from one soul in time to another soul in time.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Round pegs in square holes tend to have dangerous thoughts about the social system and tend to infect others with their discontents.
Aldous Huxley
Image
The most distressing thing that can happen to a prophet is to be proved wrong. The next most distressing thing is to be proved right.
