“This is the real secret of life — to be completely engaged with what you are doing in the here and now. And instead of calling it work, realize it is play.”―Alan W. Watts
“Every individual is a unique manifestation of the Whole, as every branch is a particular outreaching of the tree.” —Alan Watts
“We seldom realize, for example that our most private thoughts and emotions are not actually our own. For we think in terms of languages and images which we did not invent, but which were given to us by our society.” —Alan Watts
“I have realized that the past and future are real illusions, that they exist in the present, which is what there is and all there is.”
—Alan Watts
“The meaning of life is just to be alive. It is so plain and so obvious and so simple. And yet, everybody rushes around in a great panic as if it were necessary to achieve something beyond themselves.” —Alan Watts
“You don't look out there for God, something in the sky, you look in you.”
—Alan Watts
"No amount of anxiety makes any difference o anything that is going to happen."
—Alan Watts.
“You have to get away from all that madness for a while because we become insane, we get confused with our roles, as being who we really are. Man is not his role. Man is something deeper than that. So, go into the forest or some place ALONE in nature, all by yourself, and find out who you really are! And when you no longer confuse yourself with your particular temporary body, but identify with the entire process of nature and the whole cosmos… When death comes, what a funny thing that will happen. Death comes, and will find no one to kill.”
— Alan Watts
