Alan Watts - The Real You

Lyrics:

You're breathing

The wind is blowing

The trees are waving

Your nerves are tingling

The individual and the universe

Are inseparable

But the curious thing is

Very few people are aware of it

Everything in nature

Depends on everything else

So it's interconnected

We confuse ourselves as living organisms which are one with this whole universe

With something we call our personality

And what is our personality?

And our fundamental self is not something just inside the skin

It's everything around us with which we connect

When you look out of your eyes

At nature happening out there

You're looking at you

That's the real you-

The you that goes on of itself

Now listen

It's absolutely necessary

That we let go of ourselves- and it can't be done,

Not by anything that we call doing it, acting, willing,

Or even just accepting things

It seems that the human being

Really has a very simple kind of mind

Nature is wiggly

Everything wiggles

And all this wiggliness is too complicated

[Refrain]
