Alan Watts

The fundamental principle of Buddhism

1:18:15 “You are the total energy that constitutes the universe playing that it’s you. [...] The colossal reality, the energy that is everything -- that is a unitary energy, that is one, plays at being many.” Watts remarks that this is fundamental to Hinduism, Buddhism and Taoism. He could have added: Christianity!

1:48:30 “The world is not existing independently of those who witness it.”

You are everything

1:03:10 “You have difficulty in conceiving this as a Westerner because we have all been brainwashed by several centuries of put-down theories of Man.”

3:16:13 “You can see at one level that the evil side of things is part of the total harmony... The joy of life is to be in the process of getting rid of it.”
