How’s this for a book title?

LOL! Seriously though, Alan Watts was a prolific Zen Buddhist teacher, speaker, and writer. Many moons ago I read Alan’s book: “The Book: On The Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are“. From what I remember, it was before “I got” what spiritual advancement was all about, so I didn’t get much out of it. It didn’t help that hard-core Zen Buddhism is full of terse, paradoxical, and mind twisting sayings.

Although Mr. Watts is not  on the top of my “spiritual guru” list, I just may snatch up this book. Hell, an Amazon.com bot recommended it to me so that must mean something. Plus, it seems to be prophetical in that it was written in 1968 when the world was simpler and much less hectic. However, since the book is not available on the kindle (which is puzzling to me), I just may pass it up.

Of course, like you, I’m not insecure or anxious. I just love the book’s title. 🙂
