A wonderful exposition of Letting: Flowing with the Tao, the stream, the gentle and fluid way of nature. Letting it unfold naturally, spontaneously, beautifully. Pure sensitivity with life, feeling, profoundly, into its ecstatic depth. Immanent and intimate, sensuous and sexy.

Sex.

This whole thing, the Tao, is a sexual dance of separation and connection, a love-play of polarity in unity.

2 = 0 = 1

Relativity is connectivity.
Let's honor uniqueness. Let's honor this unique mess. We're all dancing together.
And the whole dance is created by us, all of us beings. Full of purpose and intelligence.

The Flow of forms.
The Play of patterns.
The Dance of diversity.

The cosmic jazz.

The pulsing Heart.

Calling us home.
We are home. This is home. We need to go nowhere. We just need to recognize and inhabit our Home, Here, Now, This.
Happening.

And the fundamentals of inhabiting This are clear: Awareness and Surrender. No ignorance, no resistance. Conscious surrender to the Flow of Being. Looking and Letting, deeply.

Full, whole-hearted immersion, with a big "Yes".

And where does it arrive at? What's home?

Love.

Being = Love

A smiling Heart.

I think I need to read other Alan Watts books. This one was good and all but not as mind blowing as I was expecting it to be. I still prefer Sagan. I didn't feel like Watts was saying anything new or saying it particularly well so I didn't get much from this book. But I won't give up on him yet...must try another.

Alan Watts sees the world how I see the world, only more articulate.
