Consciousness & Ego, How We Define Ourselves ∞ Alan Watts

Alan Watts an eastern spiritual Guru & philosopher was a man ahead of his time & his insights are still relevant today, more than 30 years after his death. Watts was instrumental in introducing Taoism, Buddhism and Zen to a Western audience in the 1950s and 60s. He explains mystical & spiritual ideas in terms that an English or American ear could understand. He was the author of more than 20 books and is one of the most widely read Philosophers of the 20th century. He is trying to educate his audience, to entertain them, to inform them, & most importantly, to share with them the highest and most beautiful wisdom. He discusses ancient Vedic texts, making frequent reference to the original Sanskrit or Pali when appropriate. He was also a very highly regarded public speaker, renowned for his extraordinary intellect and wit. Watts was an autodidact (self educated) & had extensive knowledge in a diverse number of fields. His books and lectures often touched upon cosmology, quantum mechanics, physics, mathematics, ecology, psychology, biology, technology, art & literature. He also didn't limit himself to only Eastern philosophy. He also had a remarkable knowledge of all the world's major religions & philosophies. Watts was awarded an honorary doctorate for his work on comparative religion. He also had a good understanding of many European and Asian languages, including Chinese calligraphy.
