Ep. 2 – Dropping Out From Karma
Alan Watts Being in the Way
The Symbol, the Idea, the Word, Is a Block to Life.
Think about thinking can be lived with just as much direct, fresh spontaneity as just living without thinking. But in order to live it with full spontaneity, you have to be in a position where you no longer feel the symbol, the thought, the idea, the word, as a block to life. To be able to use the symbol not as means of escape, you must know that you can't escape. And not only that, but there is no one to escape. There is noOne to be delivered the prison of life. This is the meaning then, that there is noone who perceives anything, no one who experiences anything.
