Alan WattsIf we cling to belief in God, we cannot likewise have faith, since faith is not clinging but letting go.
Alan WattsLack of awareness of the basic unity of organism and environment is a serious and dangerous hallucination.
Alan WattsLike too much alcohol,self-consciousness makes us see ourselves double, and we make the double image for two selves - mental and material, controlling and controlled, reflective and spontaneous. Thus instead of suffering we suffer about suffering, and suffer about suffering about suffering.
Alan Watts
