By following the obverse of social convention one is still letting it determine one’s pattern of behavior.

Doing any simple action with delight looks ritualistic. If you watch a very skilled craftsman at work, or a surgeon, or a good dentist, or a shoemaker, or a potter who thoroughly loves the work, you notice their caressing hands, the delight, the dance they do; to do this thing. The doing of it is more important than the done-ing of it. You see, they look ritualistic in their action. It’s a ceremony, and you think he’s worshiping some kind of a God. That’s because he’s turned the rat race into the mandala. So you can do that with everything if you’re not in a hurry. And you’re not in a hurry if you know there’s nowhere to go! I mean, here’s the end of the line, and there’s a place called death and a tombstone on it that says, “Well, he did it once.” We write his name on the tombstone. That’s the end. That’s where you’re going.

The problem is, I think, that the people in an age of plenty—for we are all today, compared with former ages, fantastically rich—we’re still tied to our survival value as the only value, and therefore are unable to play.

We get such a kick out of looking forward to pleasures & rushing ahead to meet them that we can’t slow down to enjoy them when they come.

Dispelling dread isn’t a matter of trying to forget about washing dishes. It is realizing that in actual fact you only have one dish to wash, ever: this one; only one step to take, ever: this one. And that is Zen.

To be human is above all to be sensitive. And this means, I think, that the measure of character becomes, among other things, the quality rather than the quantity of your suffering.

Indeed, the world is not unlike a vast, shapeless Rorschach blot which we read according to our inner disposition, in such a way that our interpretations say far more about ourselves than about the blot.

@DreamHost my websites are down, is something going on? I was able to sign into wp for one and just seconds later it became inaccessible. I have wp emails from yesterday back notifying me about password changes for my visitors, so it had definitely been up and stable.

People need to be liberated from their systems of symbolism and become more intensely aware of the living vibrations of the real world.

[Alan Watts @AlanWattsDaily]

G. K. Chesterton once said that it is one thing to be amazed at a gorgon or a griffin, creatures which do not exist; but it is quite another and much higher thing to be amazed at a rhinoceros or a giraffe, creatures which do exist and look as if they don't.
