My god, this Alan Watts has a brilliant and beautiful mind. I am certain that the great phylosophers would have loved him and the popes of yesterday would have loved to build a fire under his ass on the town square. I find it a great priviledge to be exposed to such a rare modern intellect.

We are the Eternal in disguise, says Watts. Gospels - Inasmuch as you did it to the least of these, you did it to me.

Hehe... Alan kinda giggles when he admits that he is living off the back of mexicans and negros.

Thankyou. I've only just started listening to Alan, thanks to subscribing your play list. I read Tolle et al, years back, but I find Alan's delivery and aproach truly enlightening. This interpretation of the on going crucifiction makes far more sense than tne story I was broght up with; original sin and crucifying a guru two thousand years before I was born. Maybe I did, and maybe I got nailed? lots to think on. Hail Eris
