cont... as important but don't stop to consider that the apparent impressiveness of that peak is because the valley is low Without the valley, the mountain peak would not be high as there would be no reference. Even then it is but a wrinkle in comparison with something larger like the distance to the Moon. Alan Watts words mostly seem to point for us to consider our assumptions based on language and arbitrary ideas we think are 'absolute truths' but are 'relative truths'. Be careful of dogmas!

It can cause your thinking to be jarred out of thinking in a pattern where we only see one side of things. So in human culture, we label seemingly single objects with labels (words) and think everything is a bunch of onjects. We learn to label a certain situation as a "river" and don't think twice that we can't really define it since we don't know where to set it's boundaries at it's multiple little water-drop drips from the "mountains". We only look at the mountain peak as ... cont>

"power" is a word I am very suspicious of wanting to awaken too. Power is a word I feel is defined as greater characteristics of action and effect. However, to have 'power' exist, there must be the situation of the less powerful to measure it by. I feel that to be concerned with power is like ignoring the troughs in waves. A tall cardhouse is impressive but the most stable cardhouse is made with one card!

Alan Watts is referring to sandpiper birds flying together without a leader...I was reading about the slime mold which is a series of single lifeforms but at times can integrate and appear to act in unison but without a leader! Scientists for a while where intent on finding a leader cell in this but eventually it came to be seen that there was no leader. As humans, we tend to think of leaders ... but even in our politics, are there really leaders or some abstract interaction beyond control

I hope we do experience a golden age. I experienced something 22 days ago now. I knew i would never be the same and have been happier and had more affection for the world than i ever knew was possible. So Thank you for your video postings they helped. Perhaps the information will be available to people that make an awakening more likely, but the individual has to be open. Otherwise, their ego will filter out the turth.

Prophecy? we're not talking about prophecy we're talking about common sense now is the time of the cusp of the information age, we have TRUE information coming out and quantum physics is in perfect alignment with ancient spirituality and it's coming together to make the golden age which is more of a matter of cycles and conversations with higher dimensional beings (channeling) and spiritual advancement and evolution! In order to have repeatabble effect in eternity, you need cycles

I very much like Alan Watts and appreciate you posting the videos. Is it not obvious that all prophecies are created by man for man. That there are no prophecies of god because god has no will, no thoughts, ideas, that god is perfect and without needs. That only men need prophecy......
