Man & Nature, Here & Now (0:00) The Three Theories of Nature (11:53) The Undefinable Order of Nature (35:30) Trust, Play, & Purposelessness (45:00) “All music is purposeless. Is music getting somewhere? If the aim of a symphony were to get to the final bar, the best conductor would be the one who got there fastest. When you dance do you aim to arrive at a particular place on the floor? The aim of dancing is to dance, is the present. It’s exactly the same with our life.” – Alan Watts ================ Alan Watts – Being in the Way – Ep. 8 – Man and Nature: https://youtu.be/frpFRMm3sgg Alan Watts – Being in the Way – Ep. 8 – Man and Nature: https://beherenownetwork.com/alan-watts-being-in-the-way-ep-8-man-and-nature/ ================ Make sure not to miss a single video podcast from Be Here Now Network!
