Alan Watts – You Create What You See (SHOTS OF WISDOM 46)
The illusory nature of what we call "reality" has always been based on our visual perception. Thus, the intuitive conclusion that what is real, is what we see, seemed for millennia to be the most obvious postulate of logical thinking. Although a totally different point of view has been advocated by almost every spiritual tradition for many centuries, it has failed to go mainstream due to the materialistic indoctrination of the human mind. This false construct which seemed indestructible for centuries has been shaken to the core of its very fundaments by the findings of quantum physics in the 20th century. The energy-based nature of everything perceptible (so-called reality) depends fundamentally on the perceiver. Reality lies literally in the eyes of the beholder.
The participatory nature of reality, although it has been a scientific fact for decades now, is still far from being part and parcel of our collective consciousness. This is because it represents such a quantum leap in understanding that most people barely try to contemplate it, let alone live by it.
In this talk, Alan Watts displays his unparalleled ability to explain the explainable in a way that makes even the most challenging shift from such a deep-rooted psychological paradigm to a comprehensible, and thus workable concept seem as a simple task.
