    this door slammed on my fingers causing temporary misperception
    this was neither heaven nor neither hell but presumption

    The Doors got their name from William Blake's The Marriage of Heaven and Hell:

    PLATE 14

    The ancient tradition that the world will be consumed in fire
    at the end of six thousand years is true. as I have heard from
    Hell.
    For the cherub with his flaming sword is hereby commanded to
    leave his guard at the tree of life, and when he does, the whole
    creation will be consumed, and appear infinite. and holy whereas
    it now appears finite & corrupt.
    This will come to pass by an improvement of sensual enjoyment.
    But first the notion that man has a body distinct from his
    soul, is to be expunged; this I shall do, by printing in the
    infernal method, by corrosives, which in Hell are salutary and
    medicinal, melting apparent surfaces away, and displaying the
    infinite which was hid.
    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.

    A scientist among US!? Someone says that THE DOORS (Jim Morrison, maybe?) gets its name from this Book.
