Elsewhere I once read a similar idea about how difference so easily becomes agression - about how, the very minute you talk about "us" you are defining a not-us, which you call "them." We all know how most religions, politically theories and armies view "them" - not quite as enlightenedly as Alan Watts.

It was from Alan Watts, among others, that I learned the importance of tolerance and if anyone else takes that message away from your clip, then you've done a service to MB Celladorina, but as for too much analysis and over-thinking of life, I prefer to live by this banal maxim: "Life is a mystery to be lived, not a problem to be solved."

Yeah, Jesus is always going on acid trips. Satan keeps meaning to go with him one of these days, but his work schedule is hell.

Basically, we live in our own worlds, stories. Similar to that thread a long time ago I read about how none of the things in our life is real. It's all constructed in our minds, but one collective mind. I think light shines through us and we can create and destroy our stories how we see fit. I've even tested this and literally had conversations with it. I promise I am not going crazy.

So like a mix between phenomenology and Buddhist spirituality?

Wait, who's the guy that talks about the shadow self?

Oh, yeah. My friend keeps telling me to look into Carl Jung because he says some of the things I say are Jungish or something.

People used to tell me the same thing about Neitzsche too. Never looked into him until half of youtube started name dropping him every where.

I'm lazy and I miss out on a lot of good stuff because of it.
