The line that inspired Morrison to name the band The Doors was this-
"if the doors of perception are cleansed, everything would appear to man as it truly is, infinite.
***Wiki cites that Morrison was inspired by the author Aldous Huxley from the book about drug experimentation The Doors of Perception. "There are things known and things unknown and in between are the doors." I have never heard that story before and do not really believe it, but am including it in attempt to keep this as accurate as possible |
I'm pretty sure the Aldous Huxley story is right. That's what I've always heard. If you think about it, if we went with your first explanation, the origin still leads back to Huxley. Thank you anyhow.
I think your posts are very underrated.
