The Dream of Life

Alan Watts. The Dream of Life. If you awaken from this illusion and you understand that black implies white, self implies other, life implies death (or shall I say death implies life ), you can feel yourself not as a stranger in the world, not as something here unprobational, not as something that has arrived here by fluke but you can begin to feel your own existence as absolutely fundamental. ... everybody is fundamentally the ultimate reality, not god in a politically kingly sense, but god in the sense of being the self, the deepdown basic whatever there is. And you are all that, only you are pretending you are not.
