    I like when the bells chime, and when I hear the giggling and coughing; sort of puts me in the room with them, in a sense... 50 some years ago when people interacted spontaneously because they were in the moment - no phone, buds, laptop, or I pad; just a room of life interacting with itself.

    When one discusses religion with people, they say they need a religion to hold on to, that is not the way to use a religion because if you use religion as something to hold onto, your religion is an expression of unfaith, faith is where you let go not hold on. When the cat falls off the tree, the cat relaxes. You see, soon the cat lands with a soft thud and doesn't get hurt, because she has faith

    At times I find it a little difficult to follow Alan's logic, but when I do understand it just rips my mind to pieces.

      Potentially.
      But as most things its a two edged sword.
      Then again as usual we humans tend to have a hard time understanding anything but absolutes so we end up discussing of something is bad or good endlessly never realizing both sides are both right and wrong in most all cases.
      This is possible because its always relative.
      In this case its relative to the intentions of the induviduals going to church.

    I enjoy very much listening to Alan Watts. But there are always these snippets of inherited religious dogma lurking around haha
    There is a profound plot twist in all Religions, Zen, Buddhism, Hinduism included etc...
    You are looking up to someone or something or some deity to give you the answers. They cannot.
    You are the full Answer, You always have been. We are all One, timelessly just experiencing itself.
    No need to go through all the fruitless nonsense and ego driven (here including that spiritual ego as well).
    If you are willing to really dive deep inside yourself and find out who you are and surrender, you will understand what all the Masters and Religions really mean...
    Terence McKenna once quoted a beautiful Van Morrison's song that talks about this:
    "No guru, no method, no teacher,
    Just you and I and Nature"

    Hmmm, there’s not being a saint and there’s being an ass hole.
    Zen master should be getting themselves up in the morning for one, getting rage full at the perceived mistakes of others only to realise it’s your own mistake but not own that mistake or apologise for being rage fully wrong. Sounds a lot like something else, pathological narcissism.
    Nothing to teach sounds about right….
