An Excellent Youtube Video on Meditation -- Alan Watts

I honestly think that he's a spiritual genius. I don't care if he ascribes to a certain religion (as I believe most religions are too dogmatic to contain any truth). I wish I would've discovered him sooner. Thank goodness for the internet!

I think he's a spiritual genus as well. The reason I was initially drawn to him was he clames no religious dogma or sect. I believe he started one of his books saying something to that effect. Like someone else mentioned he considered himself an entertainer.

But I believe that's what gave him the ability to articulate himself so well. He wasn't trying to change the world... Just enlighten it a bit.

I don't loan his books out anymore because I never get em back!

Good one about his books. I haven't gotten that far into knowing about him. I just assumed that he was (in a sense) religious because he started out with Buddhism. But on the other hand, on the video in this thread, he endorses Sufism as well as Hare Krishnas. So he does seem to be trans-religious, if that makes sense.
