Alan Watts Quotations
- We do not "come
into" this world; we come out of it, as leaves from a tree. As
the ocean "waves," the universe "peoples."
Alan
Watts Quotes
- Every individual
is an expression of the whole realm of nature, a unique action of the
total universe.
Alan
Watts Quotes
- Even those who
know it to be true in theory do not sense or feel it, but continue to
be aware of themselves as isolated "egos" inside bags of skin.
Alan
Watts Quotes
- We are forever
"conquering" nature, space, mountains, deserts, bacteria,
and insects instead of learning to cooperate with them in a harmonious
order.
Alan
Watts Quotes
- The hostile attitude
of conquering nature ignores the basic interdependence of all things
and events--that the world beyond the skin is actually an extension
of our own bodies.
Alan
Watts Quotes
- A muddle of conflicting
opinions united by force of propaganda is the worst possible source
of control for a powerful technology.
Alan
Watts Quotes
- Religions are
divisive and quarrelsome. They are a form of one-upmanship because they
depend upon separating the "saved" from the "damned.
Alan
Watts Quotes
- Faith is, above
all, open-ness --an act of trust in the unknown.
Alan
Watts Quotes
- Just as money
is not real, consumable wealth, books are not life. To idolize scriptures
is like eating paper currency.
Alan
Watts Quotes
- We do not need
a new religion or a new bible. We need a new experience--a new feeling
of what it is to be "I."
Alan
Watts Quotes
- The lowdown (which
is, of course, the secret and profound view) on life is that our normal
sensation of self is a hoax or, at best, a temporary role that we are
playing, or have been conned into playing.
Alan
Watts Quotes
- The most strongly
enforced of all known taboos is the taboo against knowing who or what
you really are behind the mask of your apparently separate, independent,
and isolated ego.
Alan
Watts Quotes
- There was never
a time when the world began, because it goes round and round like a
circle, and there is no place on a circle where it begins.
