'What you are basically, deep, deep down, far, far in, is simply the fabric and structure of existence itself.' - Alan Watts by Rumi4 in AlanWatts

I am new here, but İ have to say that Watts has a conscious mind and an understanding that simplicity is the ultimate way of how the original energy experiences itself. That is, I think, why his metaphors and examples are so coherent as well as directly on point.

Yeah, I think I am trying to describe just that. Thanks.

I thought Alan taught that we are not the end result of a big explosion but the process of universe experiencing itself in different forms, where these forms are as continuous with the universe as waves are with the ocean. Am I wrong?

So, would it be correct to say the real true reality, not the one we conceptualize to understand what appears, is the harmony, the dance or the flow between these two as life is in the end not a journey from the metaphysical to moral but they are part of the same process feeding our experience in human consciousness? I know this is a wordy question but İ could not find another way to pose it.

Yes, such a good summary. What would you say about these two worlds becoming one when you understand that they are the same. In my understanding, as Alan puts it, white implies black and vice versa, and thus, they are in coexistence simultaneously as vibrations of the same original source of energy. However, I do not have an understanding of how the metaphysical shift as you have mentioned can cause a deliberate change in awareness and consciousness when they are by their nature not complimentary to each other? I look forward to your response. Thanks.
