The style of God venerated in the church, mosque, or synagogue seems completely different from the style of the natural universe.Alan Watts
No one's mouth is big enough to utter the whole thing.
Alan Watts
We could say that meditation doesn't have a reason or doesn't have a purpose. In this respect it's unlike almost all other things we do except perhaps making music and dancing. When we make music we don't do it in order to reach a certain point, such as the end of the composition. If that were the purpose of music then obviously the fastest players would be the best. Also, when we are dancing we are not aiming to arrive at a particular place on the floor as in a journey. When we dance, the journey itself is the point, as when we play music the playing itself is the point. And exactly the same thing is true in meditation. Meditation is the discovery that the point of life is always arrived at in the immediate moment.
Alan Watts
The moralist is the person who tells people that they ought to be unselfish, when they still feel like egos, and his efforts are always and invariably futile.
Alan Watts
You don't look out there for God, something in the sky, you look in you.
Alan Watts
Never pretend to a love which you do not actually feel, for love is not ours to command.
Alan Watts
