God Quote by Alan Watts — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“You are an aperture through which the universe is looking at and exploring itself.”

“This is the real secret of life -- to be completely engaged with what you are doing in the here and now. And instead of calling it work, realize it is play.”

“The menu is not the meal.”

“No valid plans for the future can be made by those who have no capacity for living now.”

“Like love, the light or guidance of truth that influences us exists only in living form, not in principles or rules or expectations or advice, however widely circulated”

“The world is filled with love-play, from animal lust to sublime compassion.”

“All crosses had their tops cut and became T's. There was also a thing called God.”

“If you love someone, understand how God loves you, and try to love like God. Unconditionally, you will know that you cannot love as deeply as God, but the effort to do so is truly one of the most beautiful things.”

“Talk to me about the truth of religion and I'll listen gladly. Talk to me about the duty of religion and I'll listen submissively. But don't come talking to me about the consolations of religion or I shall suspect that you don't understand.”

“The world looks like something God had just imaged for his own pleasure, doesn't it?”

“I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own -- a God, in short, who is but a reflection of human frailty. Neither can I believe that the individual survives the death of his body, although feeble souls harbor such thoughts through fear or ridiculous egotisms.”

“There is but one good; that is God. Everything else is good when it looks to Him and bad when it turns from Him.”
