The meaning of life is just to be alive. It is so plain and so obvious and so simple. And yet, everybody rushes around in a great panic as if it were necessary to achieve something beyond themselves. Alan Watts (1915 – 1973)
Alan Watts Quote – “Steadily he approaches the point where what is unknown…”
Steadily he approaches the point where what is unknown is not a mere blank space in a web of words but a window in the mind, a window whose name is not ignorance but wonder. Alan Watts (1915 – 1973)
Alan Watts Quote – “The split between I and me, man and the world…”
Discovering this the mind becomes whole: the split between I and me, man and the world, the ideal and the real, comes to an end. Paranoia, the mind beside itself, becomes metanoia, the mind with itself and so free from itself. Alan Watts (1915 – 1973)
Alan Watts Quote – “The only thing you need to know to understand the deepest metaphysical secrets…”
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 (1915 – 1973)
