But it still seems to me, as it did to Huston Smith, that most of us need to practice a method that helps us to remove these obstructions. Yes, there's the danger Krishnamurti speaks of that we'll become attached to the method or path in such a way that it becomes the biggest obstruction of all. Yet, if we spend our lives waiting to see the truth directly, we may never be "lucid." In fact, as Alan Watts was fond of saying, avoiding the use of a method is its own method--the method of no method--and can be just as misguided.<BR/><BR/>Dr. Alistair: Watts did warn against mistaking our conceptual constructs or representations of reality for reality. But it seems to me that he, like Krishnamurti, didn't go far enough in showing us how to see reality as it is and to harmonize with it.<BR/><BR/>Namaste,<BR/>SteveStevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02549770321948541384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10032287.post-1151493904826511692006-06-28T04:25:00.000-07:002006-06-28T04:25:00.000-07:00alan watts said that we tend to see things as bits...alan watts said that we tend to see things as bits, and bits of bits, and bits of bits of bits. this leads to confusion, laws, rules and chaos.<BR/>these constructs can be seen as barriers to lucidity,or enlightenment.Dr.Alistairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03308832220555479141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10032287.post-1151436526841624922006-06-27T12:28:00.000-07:002006-06-27T12:28:00.000-07:00I'm going to take a look at these videos now.

What is standing in the way, what keeps you from enlightenment? Remove these hindrances and you will uncover the state of perfect consciousness beneath it all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
