I agree. I was looking through my Joseph Campbell books (cannot find the quote) — but there is this story I always liked about him waiting for his wife (she was a dancer & studied with Martha Graham). Joe was impatient because she was late. & then he remembered about living in the present moment & I think he credits Huxley. And of course— everything he learned from Buddhism.
People have difficulty with emotions. Joe lived with complexity. Huxley’s story shows how people escape.
