“You know in a famous debate that was settled by the sixth patriarch of Zen, there were two monks arguing when a flag was flapping in the wind, whether it was the wind or the flag that was moving. And he said it’s neither. It’s the mind.” — Alan Watts, Reality, Art, and Illusion

One of the best “Why Knots not Core” explanations I’ve read

“History is much more an art than a science. It is a reconstruction by a historian who uses the materials of evidence in the same way that a painter uses paints. And in this way, he reconstructs his version of the past, and if he’s sufficiently persuaded, he convinces other people that that’s what happened. Various sneaky governments have caught onto this and realized that they can write their own official history about anything, and then they’ve got a doctrine that there is a kind of historical destiny, a historical compulsion that certain things as a result of history must happen, and then they use this to justify what they’re going to do anyhow.” — Alan Watts, Time and The Future
