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.
