Loss
of 'self', or ego loss, is generally agreed to be the major effect of hallucinogenic
drugs such as mescaline or LSD.
Such a small amount of these drugs reaches the brain that it is generally
supposed that they act as a trigger to a natural process.
Aldous
Huxley wrote a book about the effects of these drugs, the title of which he
took from a prose poem by William
Blake a visionary not known to have used hallucinogenics.
This
is the quote from William Blake's, 'The Marriage of Heaven and Hell'.
If
the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it
is, infinite.
