Alan Watts…
We are taught that LIFE is a Journey with a destination that it ought to arrive at. But life is best understood as an analogy to music. Music is play; it differs from travel – where you are trying to get somewhere. The system as it currently exists makes us believe that we are supposed to arrive at a particular destination: Success, Wealth, maybe Heaven? The trouble with this mind-set is that we miss the point of life.
Life is like music. You’re supposed to sing and dance while the music is being played. Life is a vast pattern of intelligent energy. We are not subjects of kings or victims of blind process. We are not in it at all… We ARE it.
