More quotes by Alan Watts
Stop measuring days by degree of productivity and start experiencing them by degree of presence.
Alan Watts
Omnipotence is not knowing how everything is done it's just doing it.
Alan Watts
Real travel requires a maximum of unscheduled wandering, for there is no other way of discovering surprises and marvels, which, as I see it, is the only good reason for not staying at home.
Alan Watts
But the attitude of faith is to let go, and become open to truth, whatever it might turn out to be.
Alan Watts
Thought is a means of concealing Truth.
Alan Watts
When we dance, the journey itself is the point, as when we play music the playing itself is the point. And exactly the same thing is true in meditation. Meditation is the discovery that the point of life is always arrived at in the immediate moment.
Alan Watts
If you love a person, you say to that person, Look, I love you, whatever that may be. I've seen quite a bit of it and I know there's lots that I haven't seen, but still it's you and I want you to be what you want to be. And I won't be happy if I've got you in a cage. You'd be a bird without song.
Alan Watts
You can make any human activity into meditation simply by being completely with it and doing it just to do it.
Alan Watts
To be silent is not to lose your tongue. On the contrary, it is only through silence that one can discover something new to talk about. One who talked incessantly, without stopping to look and listen, would repeat himself ad nauseam.
Alan Watts
Zen is a way of liberation, concerned not with discovering what is good or bad or advantageous, but what is.
Alan Watts
Self-knowledge leads to wonder, and wonder to curiosity and investigation, so that nothing interests people more than people, even if only one's own person.
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
Just what should a young man or woman know to be 'in the know'? Is there, in other words, some inside information, some special taboo, some real lowdown on life and existence that most parents and teachers either don't know or won't tell?
Alan Watts
The world is filled with love-play, from animal lust to sublime compassion.
Alan Watts
For we have never actually understood the revolutionary sense beneath them – the incredible truth that what religion calls the vision of God is found in giving up any belief in the idea of God.
Alan Watts
You are the big bang, the original force of the universe, coming on as whoever you are.
Alan Watts
We have a strange anxiety in us that if we don't interfere then it won't happen. Now that's the root of an enormous amount of trouble.
Alan Watts
The mundane and the sacred are one and the same.
Alan Watts
You don't look out there for God, something in the sky, you look in you.
Alan Watts
Lack of awareness of the basic unity of organism and environment is a serious and dangerous hallucination.
Alan Watts
