More quotes by Alan Watts
Beyond positive and negative, what is Reality?
Alan Watts
Anxiety is the fear that one of a pair of opposites might cancel the other. Forever.
Alan Watts
For a decision-the freest of my actions just happens like hiccups inside me or like a bird singing outside me.
Alan Watts
When death comes, it's just like winter. We don't say, There ought not to be winter. That the winter season, when the leaves fall and the snow comes, is some kind of defeat, something which we should hold out against. No. Winter is part of the natural course of events. No winter, no summer. No cold, no heat.
Alan Watts
There is nothing wrong with meditating just to meditate, in the same way that you listen to music just for the music. If you go to concerts to get culture or to improve your mind, you will sit there as deaf as a doorpost.
Alan Watts
You must not be afraid of playing wrong notes. Just forget it, play it wrong! But play!
Alan Watts
Total situations are, therefore, patterns in time as much as patterns in space.
Alan Watts
To be free from convention is not to spurn it but not to be deceived by it.
Alan Watts
Never pretend to a love which you do not actually feel, for love is not ours to command.
Alan Watts
Increasingly, we're developing all kinds of systems for verifying reality by echoing it.
Alan Watts
Our normal sense of the person as a lonely island of consciousness, is a dramatic illusion based on theological imagery.
Alan Watts
If the earth is man's extended body, to be loved and respected as one's own body, those who do no greening of themselves will hardly bring about the greening of America. The idea of 'greening' involves color, flowering, freshness of spring, and, above all, respect for what is organic and vegetative as distinct from the mechanical and metallic.
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
What we have to discover is that there is no safety, that seeking is painful, and that when we imagine that we have found it, we don’t like it.
Alan Watts
Just as money is not real, consumable wealth, books are not life. To idolize scriptures is like eating paper currency.
Alan Watts
The truth is revealed by removing things that stand in its light, an art not unlike sculpture, in which the artist creates, not by building, but by hacking away.
Alan Watts
Here is the vicious circle: if you feel separate from your organic life, you feel driven to survive survival -going on living- thus becomes a duty and also a drag because you are not fully with it because it does not quite come up to expectations, you continue to hope that it will, to crave for more time, to feel driven all the more to go on.
Alan Watts
Religion is not a department of life it is something that enters into the whole of it.
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
There is no formula for generating the authentic warmth of love. It cannot be copied.
Alan Watts
