This time on Being in the Way, Alan Watts outlines: - Two distinct schools of thought: those who focus on structure, and those who focus on what Watts calls ‘goo’ - How fixating on practicality is like knowing all the words to a song without ever truly hearing the music - The difference between a scientific perspective and a spiritual perspective - Why structure and formlessness are inseparable aspects of the same cosmic process - Understanding that the universe cannot be explained with words alone This series is brought to you by the Alan Watts Organization and Ram Dass’ Love Serve Remember Foundation. "What is it? What is this universe? What is an atom? What is energy? The only answer that would really please me wouldn't be an ordinary answer, because it wouldn't be in words." –Alan Watts
