about

Alan Watts - pursuit of pleasure part 3 (mildly glitch sliced to convey the feeling of the ancient bone spire)

lyrics

Incredible! I mean, it’s all there. Infinity in the grain of sand, and everything. That’s it! And you look at other people rushing around. People rushing around [] the eyes wildly searching, and people going about their business every day. Serious! “Ugh! I’m gonna get there! I’m going to make this thing!” And they’re quite mad. You feel sorry for them, you don’t feel angry at them—but they’re quite mad. They don’t realize that that now is it. That’s where it’s all going, as well as where it all comes from. [] now is now [] The whole surround of us is completely magical.

Now, of course, we become aware that imaginative people are conscious of this. Imaginative people show their consciousness of it. [] You begin to notice that there are some certain people with whom you either have great accord or great fear because they’re not ordinary, because they have an atmosphere of magic. They have imagination, and they are not hiding under an attempt to conform to the ideal of being ordinary. And the artistic people are here. They’re also people you can call relaxed people. Relaxed society is a very wonderful class of people. They’re not on edge, you know? [] a mess—if you know what I mean. [] And there are people like that too, you see?


And all these are the great spontaneous virtues that cannot be contrived. [] or something like that. I mean, none of it works. It’s all phony. Because this thing can only come in the process of growth.

[[[?]]]
So you say, “Well, do I have to wait?” But the whole thing is in the waiting. I don’t mean the virtue of patience, I mean waiting when there is nothing to do but wait. And when you see there is nothing to do but wait, then it happens. But it won’t be hurried. Because the minute you’re trying to hurry it, that introduces the one thing that stops it. The miracle, the magic thing, is happening all the time. But you can’t see it when you’re trying to get it, and you can still less see it when you’re trying to get it fast. So there is no alternative but to go through the point of: you can’t get it at all. You are going to be you. The same slob you’ve always been. See? You can’t change it. And all your good resolutions are just bombast. And then you start to be real.
