Important Distinction: The "Mind at Large" Concept It is worth noting that the title refers to a famous philosophical concept. While Oliver Frances uses it for his fiction, the term was originally popularized by Aldous Huxley in his 1954 book The Doors of Perception. Huxley's Definition: He proposed that the human mind acts as a "reducing valve" that filters out the vast majority of reality to help us survive. He called the unfiltered, total reality "Mind at Large," which he believed could be accessed through psychedelics (like mescaline) or mystical states.
