The Book on the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are
Description
Alan Watts challenges the deeply ingrained Western notion of the self as an isolated ego, separate from the universe. He posits that our true identity is intrinsically woven into the fabric of existence, connecting us to our environment and fellow beings. This profound exploration delves into the illusion of separateness, revealing how it fuels alienation and ecological destruction, and offers a path toward understanding our interconnectedness with the cosmos. Watts invites readers to discover the 'cosmic self' within, fostering a sense of belonging and a more harmonious relationship with the world.
