Alan Watts Mysticism

"Human consciousness is somewhat linear. Looks at things one by one. Education for example does not come easy. We have to scan miles of lines on a computer screen or in a book, to comprehend aspects of nature.


The universe does not come at us in lines. It comes at us in a multidimensional continuum. In which everything is happening everywhere, all at the same time. And it comes at much too quickly, to be translated into lines of print. And that is our limitation as far as intellectual or scientific life is concerned.

The computer will greatly speed up linear scanning. But it's still linear scanning. And so long as we are stuck with that form of wisdom, we cannot deal with more than a few variables, at once.

A variable is one linear process.

Linear consideration is a limited way of dealing with multi-dimensionality."

Mystery of Time

On Negativity

The receiver of negativity stands to gain from it, but only if he is a disciplined person who is taking care of his physical health. A disciplined person will be able to absorb all the negativity and use it as fuel for whatever he wants. Self improvement. Creating something new. Fixing things. Anything.

But negativity has to be processed before being employed. If negativity is employed in its raw form, that means you take decisions based on politics and negativity, and so you can't expect quality in return.

Processing negativity is not difficult or complicated. But it requires effort. And one of the main requirements is maintaining the best possible body chemistry.

The best possible body chemistry means the best possible brain chemistry.
