‘You are God in the Dance of Life’ ~ Alan Watts
The Nature Of Now ~ Alan Watts
“No valid plans for the future can be made by those who have no capacity for living now.” ~ Alan Watts
Alan Watts was an English philosopher, writer and speaker. He wrote more than 25 books and numerous articles on subjects such as personal identity, the true nature of reality, higher consciousness, meaning of life, concepts and images of God and the non-material pursuit of happiness.
By Alan W. Watts
“If happiness always depends on the future, we are chasing a will-o-the-wisp that ever eludes our grasp, until the future, and ourselves, vanish in the abyss of death.”
“But tomorrow and plans for tomorrow can have no significance at all unless you are in full contact with the reality of the present, since it is in the present and only in the present that you live. There is no other reality than present reality, so that, even if one were to live for endless ages, to live for the future would be to miss the point everlastingly.” Alan Watts
I will be forever grateful to you for introducing me to Alan Watts (just over a year ago now, I think!). Simply amazing. Blessings to you!
