OUT OF YOUR MIND by Alan Watts

I’ve just started to discover Alan Watts’ work and I’m blown away at how engaging and easy to read his Zen Buddhism interpretations are.
He’s really pushing you to think long and hard about the meaning of this life in terms of the conventional thinking we grow up with, the illusion of ego and the myth of separation from others.
This book is such a gem it’s worth every minute of your time.

“We do not ‘come into’ this world; we come out of it, as leaves from a tree. As the ocean “waves,” the universe ‘peoples.’ Every individual is an expression of the whole realm of nature, a unique action of the total universe.”

“When you find out that there was never anything in the dark side to be afraid of … Nothing is left but to love.”

“It is hard indeed to notice anything for which the languages available to us have no description.”
