In addition to Leary Frank Barron of the Harvard psychology department and author Aldous Huxley were also invited to speak.Huxley's lecture was entitled "Visionary Experience"; it was delivered earlier than Leary's and concludes with a reference to Leary's upcoming lecture "We shall hear from Dr. Leary about the induction of such experiences by such substances as psilocybin". Barron's talk contains the first reference in print to his "commending the mushroom to the attention of Dr. Leary who immediately seized upon its possibilities as a vehicle for inducing change in behavior as a result of the altered state of consciousness which the drug produced" HOROWITZ WALLS & SMITH AA23D. Huxley who had written extensively about his psychedelic experiences under the influence of mescaline in Doors of Perception 1954 here writes about the pursuit of the visionary experience as a vehicle for change and a more beautiful reality. He elaborates on the various methods of access to the visionary world including spontaneous induced and chemical access with separate sections on the usage of mushrooms and how light can enhance the visionary experience. This and the first separate printing are substantially expanded from the two which precede them both produced by mimeograph and issued in small numbers. BROMER B113. Munksgaard unknown
