This time on Being in the Way, Alan Watts shares a lecture on:
- The philosophy of Taoism
- Taoism as the flow of things / the course of nature
- The pervasive illusion of separateness and seeing it within our language
- How we only experience the world bit-by-bit
- A transformation of our everyday consciousness into oneness
- How we are all indestructible beyond the ego
- Life as a game of yin and yang, crests and troughs
- The fundamental idea of mutual arising
- How everything we do interferes with our environment
- Learning how to interfere skillfully

“We are not ordinarily aware of how we’re aware, and as a result of that, we don’t understand our connection with the world, and we don’t understand what our real self is. We get anxious; we’re afraid that death may be the end of us. This is, of course, the purest superstition, because everybody is indestructible.” – Alan Watts
