If you awaken from this illusion, and you understand that black implies white, self implies other, life implies death — or shall I say, death implies life — you can conceive yourself. Not conceive, but feel yourself, not as a stranger in the world, not as someone here on sufferance, on probation, not as something that has arrived here by fluke, but you can begin to feel your own existence as absolutely fundamental. What you are basically, deep, deep down, far, far in, is simply the fabric and structure of existence itself. So, say in Hindu mythology, they say that the world is the drama of God. God is not something in Hindu mythology with a white beard that sits on a throne, that has royal perogatives. God in Indian mythology is the self, Satcitananda. Which means sat, that which is, chit, that which is consciousness; that which is ananda is bliss. In other words, what exists, reality itself is gorgeous, it is the fullness of total joy. --Alan Watts Now be it known, I dont agree with everything Alan Watts had to say, nor do I agree with Hinduism and I am sure Watts wouldnt agree with everything I have to say either --Im not into mystical manipulation and magical thinking, for the abuse of the masses and that the cast system is correct...but this is cool quote and commercial and people should be globally experiential , live in the moment and also correct the abuses and not necessarily accept that life is perfect in the here and now, or we would still be living in caves and still committing extraordinary violence against one another... bit.ly/1rDnLz5
