Alan Watts Quotes About Spirituality

• Es un tipo especial de iluminación tener esta sensación de que lo habitual, la forma en que las cosas son normalmente, es extraña y altamente improbable. G.K. Chesterton dijo una vez que una cosa es asombrarse ante una gorgona o un grifo, criaturas que no existen; pero otra muy distinta y mucho más elevada es asombrarse ante un rinoceronte o una jirafa, criaturas que existen y parecen como si no existieran. Este sentimiento de extrañeza universal incluye un interrogante básico e intenso sobre el sentido de las cosas.

• Yet again, the more you strive for some kind of perfection or mastery—in morals, in art or in spirituality—the more you see that you are playing a rarified and lofty form of the old ego-game, and that your attainment of any height is apparent to yourself and to others only by contrast with someone else's depth or failure.
