What you do, is what the Universe does. What the Universe does, is what you do.
Alan Watts (via tinkerbrothers)Ego is a social institution with no physical reality. The ego is simply your symbol of yourself. Just as the word “water” is a noise that symbolizes a certain liquid without being it, so too the idea of ego symbolizes the role you play, who you are, but it is not the same as your living organism.
Alan Watts (via whothinksthethoughts)The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.
Alan Watts (via thecalminside)Zen is a liberation from time. For if we open our eyes and see clearly, it becomes obvious that there is no other time than this instant, and that the past and the future are abstractions without any concrete reality
