Alan W. Watts Quotes

The Sensation Of "I" As A Lonely And Isolated Center Of Being Is So Powerful And Commonsensical, And So Fundamental To Our Modes Of Speech And Thought, To Our Laws And Social Institutions, That We Cannot Experience Selfhood Except As Something Superficial In The Scheme Of The Universe. I Seem To Be A Brief Light That Flashes But Once In All The Aeons Of Time - A Rare, Complicated, And All-too-delicate Organism On The Fringe Of Biological Evolution, Where The Wave Of Life Bursts Into Individual, Sparkling, And Multicolored Drops That Gleam For A Moment Only To Vanish Forever. Under Such Conditioning It Seems Impossible And Even Absurd To Realize That Myself Does Not Reside In The Drop Alone, But In The Whole Surge Of Energy Which Ranges From The Galaxies To The Nuclear Fields In My Body.
