Alan Wilson Watts (January 6, 1915 – November 16, 1973) was a British philosopher, writer, speaker, who held both a master's degree in theology and a doctorate of divinity. Famous for his research on comparative religion, he was best known as an interpreter and popularizer of Eastern philosophy for a Western audience.

He wrote more than 25 books and numerous articles on subjects such as personal identity, the true nature of reality, higher consciousness, meaning of life, concepts and images of God and the non-material pursuit of happiness. In his books he relates his experience to scientific knowledge and to the teachings of Eastern and Western religion and philosophy.

thanks, Oliver Side!

I wanted to also for Reich's audio-docky, but didn't see how since my tuning for continuing on the path is buried so deep down that I hardly manage to follow what I'm obliged due to more practical reasons like being in the familiarity with the output that overflows my place of work daily. so, I'm pressed to pile in my head some infos in the form of digested skip readin through novels which I don't find myself in-the-heart to deal with; note, I wouldn't be doing it unless the job wasn't threatening to turn into not knowing what is being offered on the translated world-wide prose shelves at least.

now, basic reason for addressing you: my personal life, like I've mentioned before, is a dull mess. nothing vaguely closer to a stable showcase of occurrence to form into a fundament from where I'd be viewing other peoples' stories or whatever in the fields I've become not completely ignorant of after my so-called education. I'm thankful especially for the Reich's material and I see this one is also interesting. I hope I'll get out of my hole and if it happens that I've retained my previous mind habits..; dunno: at present I practically don't care whoever the fuck says whatsoever: this includes any stance in the form of pronounced conclusion over the way something happens or is not happening to me, whether there is something or there isn't. :D I understand this can't go on any longer, because skin deteriorates, tissues wear out, body shrinks, parametres sink and at a certain level I know that what I've been is gone, there's no foundation for reaching out for things that occupied my brain a year or two ago, therefore this is a breach in the continuity not only of my persona's history, but also on a cellular level I'm someone else; there's nothing firm to hold me to the past, but so far I'm carrying it on my back like a dead weight. All that's left from me is my eyesight, I'm still on the search, still giving a shit about the storyline of the entity that I represent to the outer world. So, time is running away, our time is running away. Still, it's true that we "impose on one another", .. is it our lives that we enhance on one another or just hopes

Reich literally has changed my life. I can't say this about many people from whom I've only read books. So I'm glad you kind of feel something positive coming from him. We're not the only ones, believe me. Orgonomy is now an established scientific epistemology and method, and orgonomists especially in the psychotherapeutic field are getting more and more respect. The sad fact is that Reich died in a prison and was not able to witness these developments. His historical role, it is now obvious, was to pave the way for the future. Nothing more, nothing less.

About your life being a 'dull mess': keep trying to experience your life from new, different angles. Even angles you grew up to be afraid of. It is very important not to take this "dull mess" for granted, never. Keep in mind that this dull mess is only one single possibility to live your life, among millions of others. Your life can be anything you want it to be, basically. Though I know it's not only a question of 'willpower'. You don't wake up one morning and say: I'm gonna be happy from now on, and then you are. Nothing is that easy. The more you will suffer and learn how to let go, the more you will feel free inside. We have been structurally raised to be unhappy and dull and to avoid the deeper intensity of our life experience. So the first step would be to free yourself from those structures you seem to be stuck into. This is a very personal war against oneself, as everyone's structure to unhappiness is unique, so I suggest you should find it by yourself.

Lately I heard someone say that most of our adult life is a huge and tormented effort to get back to the magic of childhood. Try to remember how you felt yourself and the world when you were 3-4 years old. The heavy structures I talked about probably were not as efficient back then as they are today. Anyway... Never take yourself for granted. You are only an image of what you could be. We all are.
