Matthias Alexander andincluded him as a character in Eyeless in World War I, he spent much of his time at GarsingtonManor, home of Lady Ottoline Morrell.

His ideas were foundational to the forming of the HumanPotential Movement. At a speech given in 1961 at the CaliforniaMedical School in San Francisco, Huxley said: There will be in thenext generation or so a pharmacological method of making people lovetheir servitude and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak,producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies sothat people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them butwill rather enjoy it.

5 Cold for all the summer beyond the panes, for allthe tropical heat of the room itself, a harsh thin light glaredthrough the windows, hungrily seeking some draped lay fig-ure, some pallid shape of academic goose-flesh, but findingonly the glass and nickel and bleakly shining porcelain of alaboratory. Wintriness responded to wintriness. The overallsof the workers were white, their hands gloved with a palecorpse-coloured rubber.

6 And this, said the Director opening the door, is the Fer-tilizing Room. Bent over their instruments, three hundred Fertilizers wereplunged, as the Director of Hatcheries and Conditioning en-tered the room, in the scarcely breathing silence, the absent-minded, soliloquizing hum or whistle, of absorbed concen-tration. A troop of newly arrived students, very young, pinkand callow, followed nervously, rather abjectly, at the Director sheels. Each of them carried a notebook, in which, wheneverthe great man spoke, he desperately scribbled. Straight fromthe horse s mouth. It was a rare privilege. The D. H. C. forCentral London always made a point of personally conduct-ing his new students round the various departments. Just to give you a general idea, he would explain to of course some sort of general idea they must have, if theywere to do their work intelligently though as little of one, ifthey were to be good and happy members of society, as pos-sible.

7 For particulars, as every one knows, make for virture andhappiness; generalities are intellectually necessary evils. Notphilosophers but fretsawyers and stamp collectors composethe backbone of society. To-morrow, he would add, smiling at them with aslightly menacing geniality, you ll be settling down to seri-ous work. You won t have time for generalities. Meanwhile, it was a privilege. Straight from the horse smouth into the notebook. The boys scribbled like and rather thin but upright, the Director advancedinto the room. He had a long chin and big rather prominentteeth, just covered, when he was not talking, by his full, flor-idly curved lips. Old, young? Thirty? Fifty? Fifty-five? Itwas hard to say. And anyhow the question didn t arise; in thisyear of stability, A. F. 632, it didn t occur to you to ask it. I shall begin at the beginning, said the and themore zealous students recorded his intention in their note-books: begin at the beginning.

8 These, he waved his hand, are the incubators. And opening an insulated door he showedthem racks upon racks of numbered test-tubes. The week ssupply of ova. Kept, he explained, at blood heat; whereasthe male gametes, and here he opened another door, theyhave to be kept at thirty-five instead of thirty-seven. Full bloodheat sterilizes. Rams wrapped in theremogene beget no leaning against the incubators he gave them, whilethe pencils scurried illegibly across the pages, a brief descrip-tion of the modern fertilizing process; spoke first, of course,of its surgical introduction the operation undergone volun-tarily for the good of Society, not to mention the fact that itcarries a bonus amounting to six months salary ; continuedAldous Huxley. Brave New the entire Coradella Collegiate Bookshelf on CD some account of the technique for preserving the ex-cised ovary alive and actively developing; passed on to a con-sideration of optimum temperature, salinity, viscosity; referredto the liquor in which the detached and ripened eggs werekept; and, leading his charges to the work tables, actuallyshowed them how this liquor was drawn off from the test-tubes; how it was let out drop by drop onto the speciallywarmed slides of the microscopes; how the eggs which it con-tained were inspected for abnormalities, counted and trans-ferred to a porous receptacle; how (and he now took them towatch the operation) this receptacle was immersed in a warmbouillon containing free-swimming spermatozoa at a mini-mum concentration of one hundred thousand per cubiccentimetre, he insisted.

9 And how, after ten minutes, the con-tainer was lifted out of the liquor and its contents re-exam-ined; how, if any of the eggs remained unfertilized, it wasagain immersed, and, if necessary, yet again; how the fertil-ized ova went back to the incubators; where the Alphas andBetas remained until definitely bottled; while the Gammas,Deltas and Epsilons were brought out again, after only thirty-six hours, to undergo Bokanovsky s Process. Bokanovsky s Process, repeated the Director, and the stu-dents underlined the words in their little egg, one embryo, one adult-normality. But abokanovskified egg will bud, will proliferate, will divide. Fromeight to ninety-six buds, and every bud will grow into a per-fectly formed embryo, and every embryo into a full-sizedadult. Making ninety-six human beings grow where only onegrew before. Progress. Essentially, the concluded, bokanovskificationconsists of a series of arrests of development.

10 We check thenormal growth and, paradoxically enough, the egg respondsby budding. Responds by budding. The pencils were pointed. On a very slowly moving band a rack-full oftest-tubes was entering a large metal box, another, rack-fullwas emerging. Machinery faintly purred. It took eight min-utes for the tubes to go through, he told them. Eight minutesof hard X-rays being about as much as an egg can stand. Afew died; of the rest, the least susceptible divided into two;most put out four buds; some eight; all were returned to theincubators, where the buds began to develop; then, after twodays, were suddenly chilled, chilled and checked. Two, four,eight, the buds in their turn budded; and having buddedwere dosed almost to death with alcohol; consequently bur-geoned again and having budded bud out of bud out of bud were thereafter further arrest being generally fatal left todevelop in peace.
