As part of our time machine project, I traveled to the Psychedelic era. This quote is from an exchange between Aldous Huxley and Humphry Osmond while they searching for a new name for the hallucinogens that indicated their mystical and visionary potential.

Osmond had his own idea and came up with psychedelic, which means ‘mind manifesting’ Peter Haining comments, “that is those few lines they had effectively launced the literature of psychedelia.”
