For the love of Wisdom by Allan Watts

This is three of my favourite Allan Watts doo-dads. Explaining life is like explaining a good joke, it takes all the fun out of it.

Oh I know what you mean. The flow of information these days, is like tsunami waves coming into my mind, and one little drop trickles out. These videos really help to relive the pressure. But...... I'm sending you a link anywhoo. Who has time to read, i've become an addict of audio files. Allows me to mentaly digest faster, so that it regurgitates smoothly.

Quite some themes - the vibration harmony underpinning and a symphonic like quality and arrangement, Edgar Cayce comes to mind who spoke about this. And believe it or not, physics theory comes to mind: string theory, vibrating strands of energy on the sub-quantum level which are similar to harmonics or notes. The "never a destination moment" theme recalls, for me anyway, eastern philosophy. Great vid.

I was waiting for your insight this time. I'm glad you liked it. The no destination is totally Eastern, thats where Allan Watts felt at home (theologically anyways).  Carl Jung told him he could never escape being a Westerner, anymore than his arm could escape being an arm, or his foot escape being a foot. But it is in accepting what we are, understanding what we are, and embracing it, then we can use it constructively to create.

When there's present moment only, the past and the future doesn't exist. They are just concepts.
