In this episode, Alan Watts explores:
The question of our own identity and our place in the world
Myths of the self handed down through history
Viewing ourselves and the world with a “floodlight consciousness” – rather than the narrow “spotlight consciousness” we are taught to see the world through
How we are not born into this world, but grow out of it – “In the same way an apple tree apples, the Earth peoples.”
“The most fascinating problem in the world is who am I? What do you feel when you say the word I? I myself?
This problem has fascinated me for many years. Most Western people locate their ego inside their heads. This is the ordinary average conception of what is oneself.” – Alan Watts
