Alan W. Watts Quotes

This Is Why I Am Not Overly Enthusiastic About The Various "spiritual Exercises" In Meditation Or Yoga Which Some Consider Essential For Release From The Ego. For When Practiced In Order To "get" Some Kind Of Spiritual Illumination Or Awakening, They Strengthen The Fallacy That The Ego Can Toss Itself Away By A Tug At Its Own Bootstraps. But 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.
