In Zen...
Knowing oneself,
means little,
unless also dropped.
I am not contesting that. Have you listened to the talk @how? It may be enlightening to show how wrong view of self, not just causes suffering, it is essential for awakening,
I'm not trying to score points here; I'm offering a view of the self-that sheds light on your behaviour, and your last comment. lol
I always find it funny that liberation is there in front of us all now, yet we keep covering it up like some hidden unknown dark secret. We just keep piling up those layers of ignorance upon the onion of ignorance, one day I will cut, slice and cook it!
It's almost like its a dirty secret we don't want to face up to, and yet we get really uptight about talking about it. I am happy to talk about this hallucination I call me, because its a pretty amazing thing really.

No I didn't....I opened it and it just looked endless.
so...why was I mouthing off about it???
Just that the title is often the 1/2 of a Zen practice that can be indulged in to the detriment of Zens actual purpose .....which is the second half.
but now you've got me intrigued so I'll make the effort.
Alan actually did a benefit for a teacher I studied with in the early 70's.
I knew Watts....'nuff said.
That sounds... like it sounds. lol
He was a great entertainer.
Aren't we all?
Speak for yourself. I prefer to call some 'Drama Queens'.....
Thanks
Can you change my name to 'drama queen' in this thread - and I'll change my avatar to a disco ball!
When did you know him and in what context?
