Eros & Christianity

What is the "true enough" behind christians and sexuality? Neither the church nor the opponents of the church have clearly understood that the secret, or unconscious motivation of sexual repression is to make it all the more interesting.

"There is no way of making a hedge grow like pruning it. There is no way of making sex interesting like repressing it."

- Alan Watts

Divine Death

“If the human race is to flourish we must take charge of evolution.”
“As Jung once suggested, life itself is a disease with a very poor prognosis. It lingers on for years and invariably ends with death.”

"Western religions are more concerned with behavior, doctrine, and belief than with any transformation of the way in which we are aware of ourselves and our world." - Alan Watts
