Still the Mind - Quotes | Alan Watts

A few lines from Still the Mind by Alan Watts:

• When somebody plays music, you listen. you just follow those sounds, and eventually you understand the music. the point can't be explained in words because music is not words, but after listening for a while, you understand the point of it, and that point is the music itself.
• The world is not something external; it is what is most fundamentally you.
• To some degree, all civilized people are out of touch with reality because we fail to distinguish between the way things are and the way they are described.
