Alan Watts talks about the art of meditation and why it is important to practice it:
āA person who thinks all the time has nothing to think about except thoughts. So, he loses touch with reality and lives in a world of illusions. By thoughts I mean specifically āchatter in the skullā... perpetual and compulsive repetition of words... of reckoning and calculating.ĀIām not saying thinking is bad. Like everything else, itās useful in moderation. A good servant, but a bad master - and all so called civilized peoples have increasingly become crazy and self-destructive. Through excessive thinking, they have lost touch with reality.ĀMost of us would have rather money than tangible wealth... and a great occasion is somehow spoiled for us unless photographed... and to read about it the next day in the newspaper is oddly more fun for us than the original event. This is a disaster.ĀTo get in touch with reality there is an art of meditation... It is the art of temporarily silencing the mind... of stopping the āchatter in the skullā. Of course you canāt force your mind to be silent. That would be like trying to smooth ripples in water with a flat iron. Water become cool and clear only when left alone.ā- Alan Watts
