Every critique I see of this book seems to centre on Huxley's analysis of religion, usually arguing against the idea that there is a common theme in all religious cultures. I can't help but feel these people have completely missed the point. Look beyond this book as an attempt to prove a thesis and you will find its true substance. It has forever changed my perspective of our world and it is as relevant today as the day it was published, if not even more so. The message contained within is one that if society could collectively grasp, we would be able to live in harmony with ourselves, with each other and with nature. A truly special piece of work.
i don’t know what to say about this book. it was very interesting and seeing how all different beliefs through time see or believe the same thing is incredible. it makes you question so much about the world. there were many parts however that i had to reread to understand. this is a book i’ll come back to later in my life to see if i have some sort of epiphany or great discovery about. all in all very interesting but a hard read.

A great summary of the mystical aspects of many world religions. My only qualms are that Huxley seems to really misunderstand the Protestant reformers and also he comes at everything with a very elitist attitude.
