More quotes by Alan Watts
You don't look out there for God, something in the sky, you look in you.
Alan Watts
Chaos is always losing, but never defeated
Alan Watts
Really, the fundamental, ultimate mystery -- the only thing you need to know to understand the deepest metaphysical secrets -- is this: that for every outside there is an inside and for every inside there is an outside, and although they are different, they go together.
Alan Watts
Religion is always falling apart.
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
And the attitude of faith is the very opposite of clinging to belief, of holding on.
Alan Watts
You can't make love without art.
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 Art of Being: A state of wholeness in which the mind functions freely and easily, without the sensation of a second mind or ego standing over it with a club.
Alan Watts
Faith is a state of openness or trust.
Alan Watts
Imagine a multidimensiona l spider's web in the early morning covered with dew drops. And every dew drop contains the reflection of all the other dew drops. And, in each reflected dew drop, the reflections of all the other dew drops in that reflection. And so ad infinitum. That is the Buddhist conception of the universe in an image.
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 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 Greek word for sinning means to ‘miss the point’ The point is eternal life which is here and now.
Alan Watts
No one is more dangerously insane than one who is sane all the time: he is like a steel bridge without flexibility, and the order of his life is rigid and brittle.
Alan Watts
By going out of your mind, you come to your senses
Alan Watts
The harder we try to catch hold of the moment, to seize a pleasant sensation..., the more elusive it becomes... It is like trying to clutch water in one's hands - the harder one grips, the faster it slips through one's fingers.
Alan Watts
When we look for things there is nothing but mind, and when we look for mind there is nothing but things.
Alan Watts
Spiritual awakening is the difficult process whereby the increasing realisation that everything is as wrong as it can be flips suddenly into the realisation that everything is as right is it can be. Or better, everything is as It as it can be.
Alan Watts
I owe my solitude to other people.
Alan Watts
