STOP TALKING TO YOURSELF – Deep Insights by Alan Watts (SHOTS OF WISDOM 25)
The idea that we might be talking to ourselves all the time seems somehow outlandish to most people. They assign such "abnormal behavior" basically to the insane, just because insane people talk to themselves loudly. But the so-called sane people do pretty much the same thing - the only difference is they are doing it silently. This is why ordinary consciousness is nothing but a widely accepted form of insanity, which is generally not defined as such because it represents the rule in our society.
In this talk, Alan Watts expounds on what happens when we stop talking to ourselves. He explains how the past and future, the main denizens of our thoughts, just disappear. What remains is the mystical experience of the eternal now, of the ultimate reality. Something that, according to Watts, requires neither spiritual initiation nor the help of a guru, but can be accessed through deep contemplation in the state of no mind.
