Love, God, mystics, and quotes from Alan Watts
"Beware of ever aspiring to such great purity that thou refusest to appear to thyself...a sinner." Alan Watts (from Behold the Spirit)
"...emphasis should not be placed on guilt from sin, but on returning to union, as the horror and hatred of a thing is a form of strong attachment to it." Alan Watts (from Behold the Spirit)
"...the realization of union is still something attained by effort." Alan Watts (from Behold the Spirit)
"God permits us to suffer in order to debunk our egoism." Alan Watts (from Behold the Spirit)
When it is said that the Lord gave his son for man, it is that he had to become a man to talk to men, to know humanhood and speak on its level.
The incarnate is faithful, the mystic willful.
When the mystics say that 'God is love' we are confused because we don't know what love is; we confuse it with passion etc. If the mystics were to say that God is brotherly Love, they would be more understood by the modern mind.
And when will we begin to repay our debt of gratitude.
Seriousness is a form of attachment.
The will is the only guaranteed entity that can confuse simplicity.
And what if, in the end, the binding arbitrator said: "Yes, you can have eternity, but nothing more."?
These fragments are taken from the unpublished writings of Jack Haas, from the notebooks 1990-2005.
