“You predict the phases of the moon. You measure them and count how often it did it like this or like that. You observe that it keeps on doing it, and you think, wow, this is fascinating. It seems to obey you because now you can tell anyone when it’s going to come up. If the people around you haven’t figured it out, they might think you’re magic.” — Alan Watts, Cosmic Network image

“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 image
