What Am I? | Alan Watts' Being in the Way Podcast Ep. 39

Moving beyond the imagined boundary of form, Alan Watts explores the idea that humanity is a microcosm of the universe and that the two are inseparable. This time on Being in the Way, Alan Watts discusses: - Considering whether being part of a whole means that we are the whole - The radial structure of humanity, Earth, and all beings - Recognizing that skin is not the boundary of man - How foreign the inner workings of the human body seem to humanness - The nature of the mind, likened to the nature of space - The illusion of an individual operating from himself - Blending together materialism and mysticism, not getting too stuck in one or the other This series is brought to you by the Alan Watts Organization and Ram Dass’ Love Serve Remember Foundation. “Any other way of looking at things is kind of schizoid. It looks at human beings as if they arrived in this world like a bunch of birds on the branches of a barren tree. They just got settled there, they don’t belong, a sense of being strangers and pilgrims from another domain altogether. Well, where is this other domain, and how does it relate to this one?” –Alan Watts
