“Perhaps the foremost interpreter of Eastern disciplines for the contemporary West, Alan Watts had the rare gift of ‘writing beautifully the un-writable’. Watts begins with scholarship and intellect and proceeds with art and eloquence to the frontiers of the spirit. A fascinating entry into the deepest ways of knowing.” - Los Angeles Times

4:34 You meditate in eternal presence. You can’t improve yourself in meditation. There is nothing to improve. Ego is only a complex of clinging to itself. It dissipates. Listen to the sounds, random sounds as if they are music. Let sounds hum through you. Thanks Alan. 7 April 2024. 🍁🦒🦒🔥🦒🤩🍑🍀🍰🍺🏄🏼🍺🍰💪🏻🍕🍕🌼🚗✨✨✨💗

14:07 Close your eyes. Go into the world of sounds. Don’t worry about the meaning. Let your lungs breathe as they wish to. Watch what they do. There is no special state you are supposed to be in. Let a sound arises in your imagination. A sound that is pleasing to you. Thanks Alan. 7 April 2024. 🤣🏃🤣🏃💖💥⛈😇💝😇💝🍑🍑🍺💗🐳🪴🏆🥂🐿🦅💪🏻🚗🤩

What is reality and who's reality is it? If one doesn't think, one knows nothing. Meditation is not stopping thought, but should amplify the inner thought. Looking into, make oneself centered and or conscience that the ego has yourself to one side and you must bring it back. For some, the ego is too big and wins, which those people can never meditate. They can't keep quite long because if they are not heard they feel they are not getting attention and the attention is what feeds their ego. Therefore they never achieve a meditation state. Because meditation would cut back the ego and let thy self be true. If you are not thinking while meditating, you are simply sleeping without dreams. You are in a state that conditions the body to cut off feeling and thought. That is not healthy in any way. Look inside yourself, when meditating, you can fix yourself once you realize your feeding your ego instead of your dreams.

He said, "meditation is the act of allowing one's thoughts to cease and stopping the agitation of thinking".
