Who is God/A Higher Power from The Doors of Perception, and Heaven and Hell and what is their importance?

The significance of God or a higher power in both essays is important. The essays share a common theme of transcendence and visionary experiences. Huxley describes a wide range of religions and religious experiences in reference to transcendence. He compares what one achieves on mescalin with religious awakenings and enlightenment. At times, though, he almost balks at the concept of a higher power.
