Alan W. Watts Quotes

To Receive The Universe Into Oneself, After The Manner Of Some "mystics," Is Simply To Become Inflated With The Conceit That One Is God And So Set Up Yet Another Opposition Between The Mighty Whole And The Degraded Part. To Give Oneself Utterly And Slavishly To The World Is To Become A Spiritual Nonentity, A Mechanism, A Shell, A Leaf Blown By The Winds Of Circumstance. But If The World Is Received And The Self Given At The Same Time, There Prevails That Union Which Brings About The Second Birth.
