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

Joseph P. DiMino April 27, 2022 at 6:40 AM 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.

Anil Deo April 26, 2022 at 8:41 AM 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

Victor Buhagiar April 26, 2022 at 8:26 AM I suppose when one doubt theology, he will soon find how wrong he was.
