Good to have your participation on this thread. I am quickly turning into a fan of Alan Watts as well. I came across his lectures on a very random basis. I did not even know someone like that existed. His works are quite old though. I guess from the 60s and 70s. One of the early pioneers who delved into Eastern philosophies on behalf of a Western audience. However, the interesting thing was I was at a stage wherein I could understand his profound statements. He is a beautiful conversationalist, for sure.
Kiko, if you read this, in part 2 he talks about order and randomness. Might interest you.
Thanks for sharing, C!
Apart from the personality, what underlies his observations are great universal truths. That is why they appeal. If it is just personality level, the appeal would not cross ages. The truth is what attracts people. The personality serves as an instrument. I am going to upload more from the same series, once I have personally watched them. Watch out for more. Ah! you could be watching more yourself as well, since you are empowered now with a new Lenovo
