Man is a little germ that lives on an unimportant rock ball that revolves about a small star at the outskirts of an ordinary galaxy. ... I am absolutely amazed to discover myself on this rock ball rotating around a spherical fire. It's a very odd situation. And the more I look at things I cannot get rid of the feeling that existence is quite weird.

Alan WattsJesus Christ knew he was God. So wake up and find out eventually who you really are. In our culture, of course, theyโll say youโre crazy and youโre blasphemous, and theyโll either put you in jail or in a nut house (which is pretty much the same thing). However if you wake up in India and tell your friends and relations, โMy goodness, Iโve just discovered that Iโm God,โ theyโll laugh and say, โOh, congratulations, at last you found out.
