Download Just So: An Odyssey into the Cosmic Web of Connection, Play, and True Pleasure AudioBook Free
"In the event that you were God," asked Alan Watts, "what kind of universe will you create? A perfect one free from suffering and episode? Or one filled with surprise and delight?" With Just So, the celebrated philosopher and self-described "spiritual entertainer" invites us to explore the concealed dimensions that shape both cosmos and our personal experience of it. Through the 1950s to the 1970s, Eastern religious philosophies ignited in the West profound new ways of perceiving ourselves and the mysteries of life. And from the beginning, Alan Watts was at the forefront - sparking understanding after understanding at live gatherings and radio broadcasts. Today Alan Watts' literature and recordings bring perennial delight to new listeners of most ages and values. Here the luminary author and presenter explores three often overlooked yet essential widespread dynamics: connection, play, and pleasure. This exceptional collection of sessions includes three complementary workshops: The Cosmic Network - a quest in to the interconnected web of the non-public and the infinite Ecological Recognition - reflections on how humanity and aspect evolve through discovery and "purposeless" play The Quest for Pleasure - what sort of true materialism connects us completely through our senses with others and to the natural movement of the cosmos. Along the way you'll explore many other themes, at turns humorous, prophetic, and much more relevant today than ever. What unfolds is a liberating view of life that comes from probability and the unstable - perfect and "just so" not in spite of its messy imperfections but because of these.
