  • In "Seeing Through the Net" from the Tao of Philosophy series (link & details below), Alan Watts discusses the comparative method of juxtaposing perspectives through triangulation, the wiggly world of nature that encompasses us, and the net of ideas and labels we cast over it.

    “Perhaps the foremost interpreter of Eastern disciplines for the contemporary West, Alan Watts had the rare gift of ‘writing beautifully the un-writable’. Watts begins with scholarship and intellect and proceeds with art and eloquence to the frontiers of the spirit. A fascinating entry into the deepest ways of knowing.” - Los Angeles Times

    I’ve listened to hours upon hours and repeated listening of Alan Watts. I have to mention that this is one of his greatest and most modern era relevant talks I’ve ever heard from him. Thank you for bringing this to the world.

      You should listen to the one where he talks about internet on smartphones and online shopping where people can have everything they could possibly want a fingerpress away. . It,s a rare episode on Mark Watts' channel. Not sure which title. But you're 💯% right I was thinking the same thing, sometimes I almost feel like he's communicating through time and sometimes his talks are just as alive today as when they were recorded. I love his speech style in this one, the first I've noticed him argue both sides and overrule himself with the latter real mind of God and the Universe. 😮❤

      @@Themultimediaguy no no. He's right.
      The entire talk, is a ramble of what is already natural to you. Therefore it's all about nonsense. Alan always says, "I have nothing to teach you, nothing to sell you..." I forget the rest, but that guy's right.

    Watts would have loved McGilchrists work on the different kinds of attention provided by the left and right hemispheres of the brain. The metaphors of the spotlight and the floodlight and of the prickly and the gooey are prescient introspections.

    The last part about trust is hilarious. How do we trust we can't be trusted? Just like how are we absolutely sure there is no absolute truth? Watts talks are always great, this is is particularly. We need wisdom always but probably especially now.
