Aldous Huxley from "Island"

[sanatanadharma]

1. IiRC, Huxley appreciated LSD

Sounds much like the teachings from the Upanishads.

"So throw away your baggage and go forward.
There are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet,
trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair.
That’s why you must walk so lightly.
Lightly my darling,
on tiptoes and no luggage,
not even a sponge bag,
completely unencumbered."
