This video which has Alan Watts’ voice opens us up to looking at life through another prism. Not as a journey, but more as a playful happening, with no end result or end goal. There is no necessity for life and neither is it going anywhere. “Playfulness” is the key concept he speaks of. Life is best understood via the analogy of music according to Alan; since music essentially as an artform is playful. Being a musician since I was six years old, this has been my intuitive understanding since childhood. Playfulness and joy are the two pillars life needs to be constructed around and slowly a deep interiorisation of the process begins through consistency and practice, which eventually results in constant joy.

Why you need to trust the universe?
This is an apt contemplation, especially at a time like this, when the entire world is caught in the grip of fear. How do we remove our conditioning, so that we may become aware of the universe breathing through us. How can we drop the intellect, to see from the lense of direct experience. “The “Tao” can only make use of you when you are empty of all that blocks a union between yourself and the universe.” This video tries to capture some of these themes. Enjoy it this morning.
