What I put up here you will not find it in any other men’s blogs.
I find great value in the talks and lectures of Alan Watts (1915-1973).
If you have 45 minutes, here is one of them.
Quotes from Alan Watts:
“You don’t aim and then shoot: it’s all one action. Not to decide and then act, but to act and decide all at once.”
” Live in such a way that nothing is advantage nor disadvantage.”
Practice fasting of the heart.
“Knowledge is much like the expansion of a flower from the stem to the bud.”
“I don’t know whether I was walking in the wind or the wind was walking on me.”
Most people live in assessment-hope living.
The invisibility of one’s head is the secret of being alive or Mushin = “no head” [Chinese]. If you want to see the inside of your head you keep your eyes open.
When your shoes are comfortable, do you feel them ? You don’t ! -That’s living.
And not you and “your life” -it’s the process. There’s nobody in the trap -it takes something trapped to make a trap.
Alan Watts
