Alan Watts was a British philosopher, writer, and speaker known for interpreting and popularizing Buddhism, Taoism, and Hinduism for the Western world. He published over 25 books inviting you to explore your inner self. He was very adept at translating difficult philosophical and religious concepts in a way that made them intelligible to large numbers of people. Pick up his book, The Wisdom of Insecurity: A Message for the Age of Anxiety, if you want a taste of his ideas. With respect to this quote---the forest can be an inner place, something you can find anywhere at any time by returning to the breath. #Zen #awakening #stories #philosophy #philosophers #jungians #awereness #awake #innerself #breath #meditation #mindfulness #peace #spiritual #spirituality
