Aldous Huxley letter to J. William Lloyd

Manuscripts

HM 80825: Autograph letter signed from Aldous Huxley written in Beverly Hills, California, on July 4, 1938 to American philosopher and writer J. William Lloyd. Huxley's letter is written in response to Lloyd's book, Eneres or the Questions of Reksa, for which Havelock Ellis wrote the forward. Eneres was Lloyd's last work, published in England by Allen & Unwin in 1929 and Houghton Mifflin in the United States in 1930. Huxley writes that the Buddhist teaching of the Noble Eightfold Path of Which Right Mindfulness is the seventh element. "The Eightfold Path describes Right Attention and Right Meditation or Ecstasy...all these words are in the highest degree suspect: but one is forced to use them for lack of better ones and because the available evidence, it seems to me, indicates that they do actually stand for definite and distant psychological realities." Also referenced is American novelist Herman Melville (1819-1891) and spiritual matter including Nirvana, Cosmic Consciousness, and Right Mindfulness.
