This Is It by Alan Watts
The six essays in this volume all deal with the relationship of mystical experience to ordinary life. The title essay on cosmic consciousness includes the author's account of his own ventures into this inward realm. Instinct, Intelligence, and Anxiety is a study of the paradoxes of self-consciousness; Spiritually and Sensuality, a lively discussion of the false opposition of spirit and matter; and The New Alchemy, a balanced account of states of consciousness akin to spiritual experience induced by the aid of lysergic acid. The collection also includes the text of Watts' celebrated pamphlet, Beat Zen, Square Zen, and Zen.| SKU | Unavailable |
