What is the essential difference between the world of nature and the world of man ... I am part of all of this ... I am one of the cells in the this tremendous brain which I cannot understand - because the part cannot comprehend the whole ... And yet at the same time I dont feel like so many people seem to feel that I am a foreigner of stranger in this world ... its aesthetic forms somehow appeal to me more than most of the aesthetic forms which man produces. I feel in it in the same way when you see a flower in the field - its really the whole field that is flowering - because the flower couldnt exist in that particular place without the special surroundings. You only find flowers in surroundings which will support them so in the same way you only find human beings on the planet of this kind of the atmosphere of this kind with temperature of this kind ... supplied by many neighbouring star and so just as a flower is flowering in the field I see myself as a peopling the whole universe... in another worlds, I seem, like everything else, to be a centre - a sort of vortex - at which the whole energy of the Universe realizes itself, comes alive. A sort of aperture through which the whole Universe is Conscious of Itself.... Words: Alan Watts Music: Carbon Based Life forms Video: youtube/watch?v=7Te7zbj-6lw
