One of the most powerful, sensible voices to speak about our inner deeps.
You are something the whole Universe is doing in the same way that a wave is something that the whole ocean is doing.
-Alan Watts
British thinker Alan Watts was one of the most accessible and entertaining Western interpreters of Oriental philosophy there have been. He was essential to the popularization of Zen in the West, and he also translated a rich language of living metaphors. Like the Zen tradition, he had an unusual humorous quality, which he used to understand the world around him; in addition to his powerful eloquence, this was one of the main reasons why he became a “rock star” in the field of Buddhist philosophy. Watts was not an average, dry and solemn scholar. He was, like Aleister Crowley, a joker and a thinker at once, and he described himself as a “spiritual animator”. http://www.faena.com/aleph/articles/alan-watts-a-discreet-and-charming-philosopher-of-the-spirit/ https://teespring.com/stores/truevibes?aid=marketplace
