Alan Watts

Alan W. Watts:

(Chislehurst, London, England, 6 January 1915 – Mount Tamalpais, California, USA, 16 November 1973).
English philosopher, writer, speaker, Anglican priest, professor and practitioner of comparative religious studies. He particularly immersed himself in the philosophy of Zen, Buddhism and Taoism, and his work has made a significant contribution to the introduction and popularisation of Asian religion and philosophy in the West.

He published more than 25 books and many articles on topics such as identity, the ultimate nature of reality, higher states of consciousness, the meaning and significance of life, images of religions and human happiness.

Watts, along with other great pioneers in the field of religion and human consciousness such as Aldous Huxley, Timothy Leary, John Lilly and Gregory Bateson, warned early on against the dangers of an overly radical deconstruction or reductionist objectification of (Western) reality.

You yourself are the eternal energy which appears as this universe. You didn’t come into this world. You came out of it, like a wave from the ocean. You are not a stranger here.

Trying to define yourself is like trying to bite your own teeth.

There is no such thing as tomorrow. There never will be because time is always now…We find there is only present, only an eternal now.

A person who thinks all the time has nothing to think about except thoughts. So he loses touch with Reality and lives in a world of illusion.
