Title

This Is It: And Other Essays on Zen and Spiritual Experience

Author

Alan Watts

Description

Six revolutionary essays from "the perfect guide for a course correction in life, away from materialism and its empty promise" (Deepak Chopra), exploring the relationship between spiritual experience and ordinary life—and the need for them to coexist within each of us.

With essays on “cosmic consciousness” (including Alan Watts’ account of his own ventures into this inward realm); the paradoxes of self-consciousness; LSD and consciousness; and the false opposition of spirit and matter, 
This Is It and Other Essays on Zen and Spiritual Experience is a truly mind-opening collection.
