ENLIGHTENING SPEECH by Alan Watts – The Whole THING Depends On Every Thing (SHOTS OF WISDOM 24)

The way we perceive our organism (or any organism at all) as a single entity in an insecure environment betrays the selective - what Alan Watts accurately defines as the myopic - view of the universe.

In this speech, Alan Watts explores the aspects of holistic perception. The kind of perception that sees the figure and the background as existentially belonging to and depending on each other. This is the “single eye” according to Jesus that doesn’t define space as an empty interval between so-called “things”, but rather as an essential component of the unified reality in which every single tiny event is indispensable for the entire organism of life as a whole.

Speaker: Alan Watts
