The more I read and hear Alan Watts speak the more I fall in love with the man. WATT a great intellect! I read an essay called "Alchemy' that addressed his experimentation with LSD in the 60's. I have some experience with psychadelics and with entering the mind into transcendenatal mysticism. the drug actually strips away layers of conditioning and bio-defenses that allow for more "real" vision. I was wondering if anybody tried DMT? I haven't but I hope to someday.
Human consciousness is a mysterious thing. Even if "god" exists or not, the human mind and body combination is a miracle I don't care what all the naysayers and cynical atheists say. I don't think many of them have a very good imagination. They think too literally. I am sure they are good people, but they may restrict themselves to logic and computation too much, which is a relatively new social condition. Buddhism is counter-cultural just like John Lennon and Yoko Ono was. They said "Screw the government, Bring down the establishment!" WHY? because it is all an illusion.
Hmm What? I'm kind of surprised by that response. But I have to say that I do like your new avatar.

You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.
