This documentary offers a rather free-form look at the life, works, ideas and opinions of influential British author Aldous Huxley. It's thesis is that much of what Huxley said, did and wrote about decades ago is still relevant in contemporary times. Much of the film is comprised of a 1957 interview televised by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and excerpts from a speech given by U.N. adviser Dr. Jean Houston at a symposium on the great writer. Interspersed between segments of these items are a variety of creative devices ranging from 3-D animations, dramatic reenactments, intellectual conversations and even humorous scenes

Re: Aldous Huxley - Gravity Of Light
I've only heard his Berkley speech
Aldous Huxley in a speech given to Berkley in which he admits that dystopic novels "Brave New World" and "1984" were not just fiction, but blueprints for two types of controlled and enslaved societies.
"The prophetic Aldous Huxley, author of Brave New World, speaks to an audience at University of California, Berkeley, surrounding the use of terrorism and pharmaceuticals to create willing slaves out of the population."
-- Aldous Huxley
"And it seems to me perfectly in the cards that there will be within the next generation or so a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing ⦠a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda, brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods."
-- Aldous Huxley
