I believe everybody should listen to an Alan Watts lecture it is very mind expanding and encourages out of the box thinking. Here is a good one it's long but if you have a spare couple hours I couldn't think of a better way to spend it. ENJOY ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3x02dQTBjE
I first heard of Alan Watts from some girl I met at a cafe in the West End of London.I had just bought a microphone stand for my studio (an ongoing project) and she asked me if I was a musician."Well no not really a musician as such",I replied "more of a songwriter".She was a pretty thing this girl,so I tried to tag her along with my suavity,thinking this might be the start of beautiful relationship.She then informed me she was a lesbian and abruptly left the cafe.I was left alone,slightly in love with the ineffable,unattainable glimmer of this departed angel...But I digress.Allan Watts was a fine philosopher indeed,although I wish I had the choice to climb back inside the "box" sometimes - it's safer in there...
LOL Fairlight, sorry dude :/ Found a deal and a shnozzle for Mr. Watts' lectures on iTunes, which I'm currently debating whether or not to buy. I probably will, but not yet cos I'm broke and the exchange rate is gonna hurt me https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/alan-watts-the-essential-lectures/id415675560?mt=8&ign-mpt=uo=4 Might even buy some books instead. Oh, decisions.
Question: Why did the chicken cross the road? Alan Watts: Because nobody met him on the road and killed him. Get it?
I enjoy listening to his lectures time from time. He truly was one of the great thinkers of the last century. Now that I have more time on my hands, i'd like to dig a little more into his work.
