More quotes by Alan Watts

Image
Nothing is more creative than death, since it has the whole secret of life. It means that the past must be abandoned, that the unknown cannot be avoided, that 'I' cannot continue, and that nothing can be ultimately fixed. When a man knows this, he lives for the first time in his life. By holding his breath, he loses it. By letting go he finds it.
Alan Watts
Image
People become concerned with being more humble than other people.
Alan Watts
Image
The real you is not a puppet that life pushes around, the real deep down you is the whole universe.
Alan Watts
Image
What you do is what the whole universe is doing at the place you call here and now, and you are something the whole universe is doing in the same way that a wave is something that the whole ocean is doing... The real you is not a puppet which life pushes around. The real deep-down you is the whole universe.

Alan Watts
Image
But to me nothing - the negative, the empty - is exceedingly powerful.
Alan Watts
Image
Billions of years ago, you were a big bang, but now you're a complicated human being. And then we cut ourselves off, and don't feel that we're still the big bang. But you are.
Alan Watts
Image
The greater part of human activity is designed to make permanent those experiences and joys which are only lovable because they are changing.

You don't look out there for God, something in the sky, you look in you.
Alan Watts

Enlightenment or awakening is not the creation of a new state of affairs but the recognition of what already is.
Alan Watts
Image
Anxiety is the fear that one of a pair of opposites might cancel the other. Forever.

Hospitals should be arranged in such a way as to make being sick an interesting experience. One learns a great deal sometimes from being sick.
