On Being , God and Death - Alan Watts

“Western religions are more concerned with behavior, doctrine, and belief than with any transformation of the way in which we are aware of ourselves and our world.”

“And very often it seems to me that reality appears rather much as the world is seen on a bleak Monday morning.”

“Indeed one might say that psychoanalysis is based on Newtonian mechanics and in fact could be called psycho-hydraulics’s.”

“If therefore, the human race is to flourish we must take charge of evolution.” “As Jung once suggested, life itself is a disease with a very poor prognosis. It lingers on for years and invariably ends with death.”

“When somebody speaks as an authority it means they speak as the author. That’s all it means.”
