Excerpts from the books “Learning the Human Game”, “Just So” and “The Dream of Life”, by Alan Watts. Alan Wilson Watts (1915 - 1973) was a British philosopher, writer, lecturer and one of the pioneers in the dissemination of Eastern wisdom to the West. Drawing on a wide variety of traditions (such as Chinese philosophy, Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism and modern science), Watts synthesizes the main teachings that allow the individual to encounter his or her deepest nature. With great lucidity of thought and simplicity of language, Watts presents answers to the fundamental misunderstanding, the central mystery of existence, the reality of who we are. As a great interpreter of Eastern disciplines, Watts spread the idea that our conception of ourselves is a myth; that the entities we call “separate things” are merely aspects or characteristics of the same unity. ????

We work to earn money to enjoy a good life and fun. This is crazy. We spend most of our time working at jobs we don't really value, and then we're supposed to come home and have fun, except that we're too tired from work to enjoy it unless it's a Saturday or another day off. For many of us, evening fun takes the form of sitting around and passively watching television.” Alan Watts. “Our schools don't prepare us to relate to the material present. Instead, we are educated to become bureaucrats, accountants, lawyers, and doctors, all good at making money, which they are told is all-important. And children who are not considered fit for the college education required for these careers are encouraged to take reluctantly offered courses in crafts and manual skills. When I refer to the material present, I do not mean the measured present, but the physical present of the nonverbal real being. People who do not relate well to the material present—the physical present—become incompetent in the practical arts of life. They become poor cooks, poor lovers, poor architects, poor potters, poor clothiers, and so on, because they really love nothing except abstractions, quantities, money, status, and symbols. People are so confused by symbols that they want the symbol more than what it means.” Alan Watts. “The trouble is that we live anxiously about the future, but in fact no amount of anxiety will make any difference to anything that may happen to us.” Alan Watts.
