Quote from Alan Watts

good quote from Alan Watts

I have been working for years to find ways of showing that we don't confront the world as isolated subjects confronting alien objects. What we experience is always ourselves, and this is a more or less intelligent "happening" which is neither voluntary nor involuntary, subjective nor objective, controlled nor uncontrolled. Methods of meditation are effective only insofar as, through failure of dogged persistences, the show that the ego and its willing are unreal. There ought to be a less clumsy way of seeing the point but I have only been partially successful in finding it. Krishnamurti has the same difficulty and has been working along the same line.
