A. Challenges people's paradigms; welcome Him whole-heartedly; though I have moved on from His schitic'k so to speak; a good primer for getting you to think for yourself...and the indoctrinations that we all have to grow out of. The single best truth, I've received from Professor Watts: "All belief systems are traps!!!"; which isn't to be taken as, necesarrily, an endorsement for atheism, but that beliefs are to be viewed as roadmaps, and to remember that the roadmap is not the territory.

Alan Wilson Watts (6 January 1915 – 16 November 1973) was an English philosopher, writer, speaker, and expert in comparative religion.

Various

  • The only real crime is that you won't admit that you are God.
  • Camus said there is only really one serious philosophical question, which is whether or not to commit suicide. I think there are four or five serious philosophical questions: The first one is: Who started it? The second is: Are we going to make it? The third is: Where are we going to put it? The fourth is: Who's going to clean up? And the fifth: Is it serious?
    • Audio lecture "Out Of Your Mind, 1: The Nature of Consciousness: A Game That's Worth The Candle"
  • Life is a game, the first rule of which is that IT IS NOT A GAME.
    • on Hinduism
  • There is obviously a place in life for a religious attitude for awe and astonishment at existence. That is also a basis for respect for existence. We don’t have much of it in this culture, even though we call it materialistic. In this culture we call materialistic, today we are of course bent on the total destruction of material and its conversion into junk and poisonous gases. This is of course not a materialistic culture because it has no respect for material. And respect is in turn based on wonder.
    • Images of God
  • Zen ... does not confuse spirituality with thinking about God while one is peeling potatoes. Zen spirituality is just to peel the potatoes.

  • Trying to define yourself is like trying to bite your own teeth.
