Taking a trip through the constructs of form and labeling, Alan Watts philosophizes about the limits of language.
This series is brought to you by the Alan Watts Organization and Ram Dass’ Love Serve Remember Foundation. Visit play.alanwatts.org for full talks from Alan Watts.
This time on Being in the Way, Alan Watts philosophizes about:
Unexamined systems of belief underneath language
Ideas that are built into our common sense
The substance of form, pattern, and organization
The profound mystery of matter
Limitations in trying to use language to define the ineffable
‘Matter’ as a root word for many things
Chinese views of nature
Why verbs do not necessarily need subjects
Being at peace with ourselves in a world of form
Recognizing the universe as a process
“When we divide the world into operations and agents, doers and doings, then we ask such silly questions as ‘who knows, who does it, what does it?’ When the what that is supposed to do it is the same as the doing. You could very easily see that the whole process of the universe may be understood as process, nobody is doing it.” – Alan Watts
