Milton Erickson spent a day in 1950 at the home of Aldous Huxley. Huxley is the celebrated author of A Brave New World. Huxley did a form of self-hypnosis he called “Deep Reflection.” On that day Erickson and Huxley did some remarkable consciousness explorations. The two men had agreed to jointly publish a collaborative work on their findings. A decade passed, and Erickson was looking to bring the collaborative project to fruition when disaster struck. Huxley lost his home and all his notes and manuscripts in the great Bel-Air, California fire of 1961. Afterward, Huxley informed Erickson that he would not resume their collaboration—the loss was too great. What’s the story behind this disaster, and was Huxley specifically targeted with a backlash for his life’s work?
