What if your “normal” way of seeing the world is actually a heavily edited version of reality. This 15-minute summary of The Doors of Perception follows the author’s famous mescaline experiment and what it reveals about consciousness, perception, and the limits of everyday awareness. Watching a simple room, a vase of flowers, and ordinary objects turn into scenes of overwhelming depth and beauty, the author explores the idea that the brain is not a generator of consciousness, but a filter—a reducing valve that keeps us functional, but half-awake.
