Alan W Watts: Rip Great Lapsed Pastor

I Alan Watts says we live forever In children if we can bear There is no joy in going on, ever And ever as a dying tree or flower II He was a brilliant Brit, knew nirvana! Died as American, in California Barely making 59 years, once pastor Presbyterian in Pennsylvania III I need to research why he quit He was undoubtedly good at it For faithfulness few scholars matched His authenticity, universality. Unmatched

Ah, we could speak for hours on this subject -- some saying, Universality is also God, conscious of his and our greater self or awareness.... Underling ill physical conditions, affecting mind thus spirit, can cause us grief we are not aware of. Of course, some may rightfully say, that even such we bring upon ourselves through wayward thinking, thus eating wrongly and being in places we should not be. It is open for serious, loving debate.

A perceptive statement Brother Buhagiar. I suspect tgevpull if Universality can open the door sovwide, YHWH/Jesus won't have it: in old testament God says, " I am a jealous God" in worship. See HOSEA fir a very graphic LOYALTY lesson

I suppose when one doubt theology, he will soon find how wrong he was.
