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 ================ Alan Watts on the Limits of Language – Being in the Way Podcast Ep. 28 - https://youtu.be/MZZPLbi2SD4 Alan Watts – Being in the Way – Ep. 28 – Limits of Language- https://beherenownetwork.com/alan-watts-being-in-the-way-ep-28-limits-of-language ================ Make sure not to miss a single video podcast from Be Here Now Network!
