“What happens if you know that there is nothing you can do to be better? It’s kind of a relief isn’t it? You say ‘Well, now what do I do?’ When you are freed from being out to improve yourself, your own nature will begin to take over.” - Alan Watts

Alan Watts quote highlights from this video: “By ‘thinking’-as distinct from feeling, or emoting, or sensing-I mean the manipulation of symbols … The manipulation of symbols to represent events going on in the real world is what I call ‘thinking.’” “The word ‘person’ has, in the course of time, come to mean the ‘real you’. There was a very serious mistake made in translation from Greek to Latin.” “A world which is an organism has no boss … In any organism, there isn't really a boss or top organ.” “An organism is a differentiated system, but it has no parts.” “‘Tao’ is usually translated the course of nature or the way-the way it does it, the process of things.” “When your heart beats, you don't plan it, it happens of itself. When you breathe, you can pretend that you are breathing, but most the time you're not thinking about it and your lungs breathe of themselves.” “The whole idea of nature as something happening of itself without a governor is the organic theory of the world.” “Asian ways of life are focused on certain problems peculiar to every individual on the understanding that the average human being-and the more civilized he is the more this is true-is hallucinating. That he has a delusive sense of his own existence.” “To awaken from the illusion is to undergo a radical change of consciousness with regard to one's own existence. It is to cease being under the impression that you are just poor little me-to find out who you really are, or what you really are, behind the mask.” “Trying to understand the world purely by thinking about it is as clumsy a process as trying to drink the Pacific Ocean out of a pint beer mug.” “There's something a lot more to you than you think there is.”
