"By going out of your mind, you..." - Quote by Alan Watts

“Things are as they are. Looking out into it the universe at night, we make no comparisons between right and wrong stars, nor between well and badly arranged constellations.”

“Philosophy is man’s expression of curiosity about everything and his attempt to make sense of the world primarily through his intellect.”

“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.”

“The mind, once stretched by a new idea, never returns to its original dimensions.”

“We notice that the mind is a restless bird; the more it gets the more it wants, and still remains unsatisfied. The more we indulge our passions the more unbridled they become. Our ancestors, therefore, set a limit to our indulgences. They saw that happiness was largely a mental condition. A man is not necessarily happy because he is rich, or unhappy because he is poor.... Millions will always remain poor.”

“For many people who are so lost in their minds, so much involved in their thought processes, the only moments they have when they are not trapped in that is when they are relating to their animal, their pet.”

“Consciousness is a vast ocean and thinking is the waves & ripples on the surface of the ocean.”

“When you are present, you can allow the mind to be as it is without getting entangled in it.”

“Take the blinders from your vision take the padding from your ears and confess you've heard me crying and admit you've seen my tears.”
