More quotes by Alan Watts
The myths underlying our culture and underlying our common sense have not taught us to feel identical with the universe, but only parts of it, only in it, only confronting it - aliens.
Alan Watts
How did you know you're alive, unless you'd once been dead?
Alan Watts
Society is our extended mind and body.
Alan Watts
I would suggest that today, we know about as much concerning the human mind as we knew about the galaxy in 1300.
Alan Watts
As a human being it is just my nature to enjoy and share philosophy. I do this in the same way that some birds are eagles and some doves, some flowers lilies and some roses.
Alan Watts
If you want to stay in a state of illusion, stay in it. But you can always wake up.
Alan Watts
We have somehow conned ourselves into the notion that this moment is ordinary. This now moment, in which I'm talking and you're listening, is eternity.
Alan Watts
We are at war between consciousness and nature, between the desire for permanence and the fact of flux. It is ourself against ourselves.
Alan Watts
Only words and conventions can isolate us from the entirely undefinable something which is everything.
Alan Watts
All I'm saying is that minerals are just a rudimentary form of consciousness whereas the other people are saying that consciousness is a complicated form of minerals.
Alan Watts
You don't look out there for God, something in the sky, you look in you.
Alan Watts
We do not come into this world we come out of it, as leaves from a tree. As the ocean waves, the universe peoples. Every individual is an expression of the whole realm of nature, a unique action of the total universe.
Alan Watts
Altough we all realize that monotony is boring, almost every form of industrial work- banking, accounting, mass-producing, service- is monotonous, and most people are paid for simply putting up with monotony
Alan Watts
Playing a violin is, after all, only scraping a cat's entrails with horsehair.
Alan Watts
Duality is always secretly unity.
Alan Watts
It takes time for an acorn to turn into an oak, but the oak is already implied in the acorn.
Alan Watts
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.
Alan Watts
Lack of awareness of the basic unity of organism and environment is a serious and dangerous hallucination.
Alan Watts
We live in a culture where it has been rubbed into us in every conceivable way that to die is a terrible thing. And that is a tremendous disease from which our culture in particular suffers.
Alan Watts
You are something that the whole world is doing just as when the sea has waves on it.
Alan Watts
