Ep. 4 – Our Place In The Universe

Alan Watts Being in the Way

CHAPTER

Introduction

This episode explores the individual's sition in the universe. Wherever you are, and whatever you are, you are in the middle of it all. The self relies on what has been defined as others to know its boundaries. And this is also to say thet two are interdependent. But in due course, the nature of polarity reveals itself as being and not being. Each experiences itself as human, which is to say, as the centre. We all realize ourselves in differentiation with another. This shows the necessity of each component in relationship to the whole. Every other creature that shares the planet with us. It helps us understand our particular perspective - but so does everyone else.
