More quotes by 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
Life exists only at this very moment, and in this moment it is infinite and eternal, for the present moment is infinitely small before we can measure it, it has gone, and yet it exists forever.
Alan Watts
You and I are all as much continuous with the physical universe as a wave is continuous with the ocean.
Alan Watts
The sound of the rain needs no translation.
Alan Watts
The whole process of nature is an integrated process of immense complexity and it is really impossible to tell whether something that happens in it is good or bad. Because you never know what will be the consequences of the misfortune. Or, you never know what will be the consequences of good fortune.
Alan Watts
If we cling to belief in God, we cannot likewise have faith, since faith is not clinging but letting go.
Alan Watts
The biggest ego trip is getting rid of your ego, and of course the joke of it all is that your ego does not exist.
Alan Watts
We must be careful that the business we build does not become mere busyness.
Alan Watts
A scholar tries to learn something everyday a student of Buddhism tries to unlearn something daily.
Alan Watts
The art of living... is neither careless drifting on the one hand nor fearful clinging to the past on the other. It consists in being sensitive to each moment, in regarding it as utterly new and unique, in having the mind open and wholly receptive.
Alan Watts
Trying to define yourself is like trying to bite your own teeth.
Alan Watts
The animal tends to eat with his stomach, and the man with his brain. When the animal's stomach is full, he stops eating, but the man is never sure when to stop. When he has eaten as much as his belly can take, he still feels empty, he still feels an urge for further gratification.
Alan Watts
The clash between science and religion has not shown that religion is false and science is true. It has shown that all systems of definition are relative to various purposes, and that none of them actually “grasp” reality.
Alan Watts
You're not something that's a result of the big bang. You're not something that is a sort of puppet on the end of the process. You are still the process. You are the big bang, the original force of the universe...
Alan Watts
How did you know you're alive, unless you'd once been dead?
Alan Watts
Zen is a way of liberation, concerned not with discovering what is good or bad or advantageous, but what is.
Alan Watts
If we are unduly absorbed in improving our lives we may forget altogether to live them.
Alan Watts
Your soul isn't in your body your body is in your soul!
Alan Watts
Faith...is letting go and trusting oneself to the unknown.
Alan Watts
Lack of love for the vegetative, subtle, cthonic, pagan, and sexy aspect of the world means death.
Alan Watts
