Hello,
as the Title of this post states, I am looking for lectures Aldous Huxley held, in any format (audio recording, transcript, essays, books) in particular the lectures on human thought and expression (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JsHSiF7Kxg). I've listened to this recorded talk a few times now - at some point Huxley says that he was to elaborate on some issue in a future lecture, which brings me to the conclusion that there were more lectures on this subject and that there is a good chance it existing in some form still now today.
So after spending a frustrating hour on google and other search engines and searched the archives of my University Library trying to find any other recordings or transcripts of this series of lectures, I found this forum and some members interested in transcribing a specific audio lectures of the man and promptly registered. If you have any of the said recordings, or know where they might be found, please let me know. I've also read somewhere that the recording "on human thought and expression" was made in MIT => held in MIT. If that is the case, then MIT might have archived the recordings... the question is how to get a hold of them. If you have any information of where (then and now), who and when, I'd greatly appreciate your input.

Hi there

I am the guy who posted the transcript post. It has not moved too far yet. One year ago, the process was stalled, because the recording of the fifth lecture of 18 was incomplete, but here is what we have until now: brobjerg dot net slash docs
I have finally obtained a copy of the fifth lecture and we can now continue the process. But we lack manpower. One of the guys working with us last year is gone, so we are down to three all in all. Would you be able to help?

This is the list of lectures, they are 40-60 minutes each. He is talking about human thought and expression in several of them:

I: Integrate education
II: Man and his planet
III: More nature in art
IV: The Population Explosion
V: How original is original sin
VI: Communist science drops conscience
VII: War and Nationalism
VIII: The World's Future
IX: Art, Artist, and Society
X: The Individual Life of Man
XI: The Problem of Human Nature
XII: The Ego
XIII: The Unconscious
XIV: Language
XV: Art
XVI: Man and Religion
XVII: Latent Human Potentialities
XVIII: Natural History of Visions
