More quotes by Alan Watts
It is the seeker, who understands there is more than what meets the eye, who is not afraid and makes the choice to go into the unknown. The process of awaking has begun, the discovery is underway.
Alan Watts
Just as true humor is laughter at oneself, true humanity is knowledge of oneself.
Alan Watts
We are not clear as to the role in life of these chemicals nor are we clear as to the role of the physician. You know, of course, that in ancient times there was no clear distinction between priest and physician.
Alan Watts
The ego is nothing other than the focus of conscious attention.
Alan Watts
People become concerned with being more humble than other people.
Alan Watts
Our pleasures are not material pleasures, but symbols of pleasure – attractively packaged but inferior in content.
Alan Watts
You can't have something without nothing.
Alan Watts
What was it like to wake up after having never gone to sleep? That was when you were born.
Alan Watts
Jesus was not the man he was as a result of making Jesus Christ his personal savior.
Alan Watts
What we need to realize is that there can be, shall we say, a movement, a stirring among people, which can be organically designed instead of politically designed.
Alan Watts
In reality there are no separate events. Life moves along like water, it's all connected to the source of the river is connected to the mouth and the ocean.
Alan Watts
Our view of reality is like a chart of the sea - the truer it is, the less likely we will become lost.
Alan Watts
Life and Reality are not things you can have for yourself unless you accord them to all others. They do not belong to particular persons any more than the sun, moon and stars.
Alan Watts
Inability to accept the mystic experience is more than an intellectual handicap.
Alan Watts
As a human being it is just my nature to enjoy and share philosophy. I do this in the same way that some birds are eagles and some doves, some flowers lilies and some roses.
Alan Watts
That society is strong and viable which recognizes its own provisionality.
Alan Watts
...for since there is no real 'way' to sartori, the way you are following makes very little difference.
Alan Watts
The greater the scientist, the more he is impressed with his ignorance of reality, and the more he realizes that his laws and labels, descriptions and definitions, are the products of his own thought. They help him to use the world for purposes of his own devising rather than understand and explain it.
Alan Watts
Thought is a means of concealing Truth.
Alan Watts
Western religions are more concerned with behavior, doctrine, and belief than with any transformation of the way in which we are aware of ourselves and our world.
Alan Watts
