Doors of Percepion

If the doors of perception were cleansed, said Blake,
everything would appear to man as it is – infinite.
But the doors of perception are hung with cobwebs of thought,
prejudice, cowardice, sloth. Eternity is with us, inviting our
contemplation perpetually, but we are too arrogant to still our
thought and let divine sensation have its way.

Evelyn Underhill, Practical Mysticism
