Life Is a Dance of Pattern. By Alan Watts

Alan Watts - Do You Do It, Or Does It Do You?

Having read Alan Watts decades ago, I was familiar with his work, but had forgotten just how brilliant and inspiring his writings are. One of the true (and vastly under-appreciated) stars of 20th Century philosophy, Watts' spoken essays are simply astounding.

His voice is clear and soothing, with a soft British accent. His ideas are powerful and incredibly lucid. He strings together profound ideas gleaned from Buddhist and Hindu thought, weaving them into poetic braids of enlightenment and inspiration. Lest you worry these will be enigmatic zen-type teachings, rest assured they are conversational in tone and accessible to everyone. It's like listening to a favorite professor espousing lessons that are at once simple yet monumental.

This is a perfect audio backdrop for meditative or shamanistic exploration, or for anyone wishing to reconnect with the power and glory of the universe. They're relaxing, and profound enough to be listenable over and over, reinforcing the positive mindset they generate. Unlike some modern philosophers and self-help gurus, Watts never stoops to maudlin reminiscing or cheesy pop philosophy.

I was pleasantly surprised to find that it's a four-disk set when it arrived. Each disk is worth the price of the set. Watts' beautiful and elegant words come to life, even more impressive and inspirational than they are in written form... which is saying a lot.
