Merry Christmas, Love.
It is obvious to any informed student of the history and psychology of religion that Jesus was one, of many, who had an intense experience of cosmic consciousness—of the vivid realization that oneself is a manifestation of the eternal energy of the universe, the basic “I am.”— Alan Watts (@AlanWattsDaily) December 25, 2019
The good news is that if Jesus could realize his identity with God, you can also—but this God does not have to be idolized as an imperious monarch with a royal court of angels and ministers.— Alan Watts (@AlanWattsDaily) December 25, 2019
God, as “the love which moves the sun and other stars,” is something much more inward, intimate, and mysterious—in the sense of being too close to be seen as an object.— Alan Watts (@AlanWattsDaily) December 25, 2019
I close my eyes remembering Christmases past. Friends and family long gone. Peace and pain. Love and loss. Eyes open, and I feel the warmth of the blessings of the present. I breathe deep a hope, always hope, for the future. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.
