The first card of the Tarot Major Arcana is the Fool. We could be closer to Zen than we know

Yo, Ankhing to the voice of Alan Watts is like half the appeal. But damn it if I won't try. Lol

19:20 they can fall in love and enter into a relationship with the opposite sex? Really, was it necessary to specify?

I am just curious wich part of this statement it was that bothers you?

@user-xs7iw6cu1z 16 күн бұрын

@@bradthunderpants3283 I would not go as far to say it bothered me. I just thought it seemed unnecessarily specific. The idea that it is fully acknowledged that someone can have such a love for another person that they would want to pledge a commitment to them for life with the caveat that it can only be a relationship with someone of the opposite sex seems to be rather non-zen. What is love for another but an intuition that tells you to form and maintain a strong connection with another person. To me it just seems that the differences between women and men, especially enlightened people, are superficial. To see such a definitive trait in oneself that does not allow you to be with another seems to me like someone putting to much value into aspects of their material self.

It's not click-bate dude. This is a book written by Alan Watts. You might have felt more satisfied if it were narrated by the author? But give it a chance. I think the narrator did a wonderful job and the message is still clear and beautiful, as with much of Alan's work. This one closes particularly well I feel.
