DOORS of perception

Aldus Huxley used Blake's expression "doors of perception", Jim Morrison one word "doors". Astonishingly simple. They knew how to step out of the matrix, and I don't. How to find out?

If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, Infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thro' narrow chinks of his cavern.
- William Blake, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell
