βLike any other faculty, imagination can be starved and suffocated or stimulated and nourished.β
βYou alone can change yourself, and when you do, then circumstances and people will both seem and be changed.β
βWe should train ourselves in the use of imagination when we are well, so that we are ready to use it when we are not.β
βService or giving is the other side of receiving. Giving and receiving is a full circle: a full circle feels more natural than a half circle.β
βIt is feeling the energy, becoming conscious of it, that permits us to redirect it according to the best of our physical, intellectual, and ethical knowledge.β

βLove starvation may camouflage itself in physical and mental ills, in delinquency, sometimes in death. In a family, love starvation begets love starvation in one generation after another until a rebel in that family breaks the malevolent chain. If you find yourself in such a family, BE THAT REBEL!β
β(How have psychedelics helped or harmed or influenced you?) LAH: I was deeply affected. They gave me a much wider view of the world, as well as a much wider view of our ignorance, and ignorance, according to the Buddha, is our basic difficulty.

Aldous Huxley Forward on Laura Huxley
βI discovered that some of the clearest and most practical answers to certain of my questions were being given by my wife in the "Recipes for Living and Loving," which she was composing for the benefit of those who came to her for psychological aid and counsel. Some of her recipes (for example, those for the Transformation of Energy) have found their way, almost unmodified, into my phantasy. Others have been changed and developed to suit the needs of my imaginary society and to fit into its peculiar culture. This literary debt is one which, along with all my other non-literary debts to the author of You Are Not the Target, I am happy to acknowledge.β
