115. Aldous Huxley

“I do not know who it was who introduced [Aldous] Huxley to Alexander. It could have been any one of his friends. “Going to Alexander” was a fashionable thing to do in the circles in which the Huxleys moved… Sometime in the fall of 1935 Huxley began having daily lessons in what Alexander called “the Use of the Self.” His general condition soon began to improve and by the end of the year he was speaking in public. In February, 1936, his wife wrote: Alexander has certainly made a new and unrecognizable person of Aldous, not physically only but mentally and therefore morally. Or rather, he has brought out, actively, all we, Aldous’s best friends, know never came out either in the novels or with strangers.”
