Ugh, I utterly distaste Alan Watts and I'm not precisely sure of why. In fact, I think I have a general skepticism about Western-appropriated Eastern spirituality. Maybe it's because Eastern metaphysics feel claustrophobic to me. There's not enough room in the attic (or, more accurately, basement) for me.

Temporary madness is not necessarily an ill. It maybe be, even, the symptoms of the cure.
