Abstract
... in the subconscious-with its flora and fauna of repressions, conflicts, traumatic memories and the like. Travelling further, we reach a kind of far West, inhabited by Jungian archetypes and the raw materials of human mythology. Beyond this region lies a broad Pacific. Wafted across it on the wings of mescaline ... we reach what might be called the Antipodes of the mind. -Aldous Huxley, The Doors of Perception
