Everything Is Interconnected & Inseparable ~ Alan Watts

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


“I seem, like everything else, to be a center, a sort of vortex, at which the whole energy of the universe realizes itself… Each one of us, not only human beings but every leaf, every weed, exists in the way it does, only because everything else around it does. The individual and the universe are inseparable.” — Alan Watts

The following is an excerpt from Alan Watts’ “Conversations With Myself,” which has recently been compare to a TED Talk. Watts was a true thinking pioneer, decades ahead of his time (the full video is embedded below). Enjoy!

“I’ve been living out here for some months; to write, and to absorb an atmosphere that is different from the city.

To try and find out what is the essential difference between the world of nature and the world of man. Because there’s an obvious difference, like the difference of artistic styles.

No one for example would confuse a painting by Leonardo with a painting by Picasso, or music by Bach with music by Shostakovich

In the same way, there seems to be a complete difference of style between the things that human beings do and the things that nature does, even though human beings are themselves part of nature.

On the one hand, nature is wiggling. Everything wiggles. The outlines of the hills. The shapes of the trees. The way the wind brushes the grass. The clouds. Tracts of streams.

It all wiggles. And for some reason or other, we find wiggly things very difficult to keep track of…

And we say, “let’s get things straightened out”, “let’s get it ironed out”, “let’s get it all squared away.”

And somehow we think we understand things when we have translated into terms of straight lines and squares. Maybe that’s why they call rather rigid people squares.. But it doesn’t fit nature.

You know, wherever human beings have been around and done their thing, you find rectangles. We live in boxes.

Our streets, especially across states like Kansas and Nebraska, are laid out in a grid pattern. Why they even dropped a grid pattern on top of San Francisco, with all those hills, so that cars run away.
