� �The art of the controlled accident��what happens when you stop taking your life so seriously and start enjoying it with complete sincerity
� How we come to believe �the myth of myself��that we are �skin-encapsulated egos� separate from the world around us�and how to transcend that illusion
� Why we must fully embrace chaos and the Void to find our deepest purpose
� Unconventional and refreshing insights into the deeper principles of Buddhism, Hinduism, and Western philosophy, plus much, much more
Whether you�re completely new to Alan Watts or familiar with his work, here is a rare opportunity to experience him at his best�improvising brilliantly before a live audience�on Out of Your Mind: Essential Listening from the Alan Watts Audio Archives.
The Nature of Consciousness (CDs 1, 2)
Have you ever seen an �inch� or touched an �hour?� Alan Watts reveals how our idea of the �self� is no more real than these abstract concepts�and how to �untrain� ourselves from its limitations.
The Web of Life (CDs 3, 4)
The universe is an infinite and intertwined tapestry of phenomena, yet most of us experience only a few spare threads. Look more closely at the �warp and weave� of creation, suggests Watts, and you may discover an astonishing wealth of meaning.
The Inevitable Ecstasy (CDs 5, 6)
Pleasure and suffering, fear and exuberance�Watts explores the surprising relationships among these universal experiences and the �inevitable ecstasy� they lead to.
The World As Just So (CDs 7, 8)
�Any lecture on Zen will always be something of a hoax,� begins Alan Watts, �because it deals with a domain of experience that by nature cannot be talked about!� Watts then proceeds to offer us a remarkably lucid and immediate explanation of this enigmatic �pathless path.�
The World As Self (CDs 9, 10)
At the heart of Hinduism, India�s expansive spiritual world view, is the idea that we are all manifestations of one Actor �playing hide and seek� with Itself. Here, listeners explore the great unfolding drama we�ve cast ourselves in, and where the plot may be leading.
The World As Emptiness (CDs 11, 12)
This third offering in Alan Watts� celebrated �World As� series invites us to face our fears about death�the Void that we normally run from�to discover that �we are as much the ocean as we are the individual waves on the water.�
