The Universe Knowing Itself
The Alan Watts Collection
Available via the Waking Up app.
You are an aperture through which the universe is looking at and exploring itself.
— Alan Watts
Why it belongs
Watts is the great translator of Eastern interiority for the Western ear—loosening the knot of the separate self with wit and clarity.
Echoes across the paths
The same structure, carried in other images—one tradition's metaphor mapping onto another's.
