Underneath the superficial self, which pays attention

to this and that, there is another self more really us

than I. And the more you become aware of the unknown

self -- if you become aware of it -- the more you realize

that it is inseparably connected with everything else that

is. You are a function of this total galaxy, bounded by the

Milky Way, and this galaxy is a function of all other galaxies.

You are that vast thing that you see far, far off with great

telescopes. You look and look, and one day you are going

to wake up and say, " Why, that's me! " And in knowing that,

you know that you never die. You are the eternal thing that

comes and goes, that appears -- now as John Jones, now

as Mary Smith, now as Betty Brown -- and so it goes,

forever and ever and ever.

 

- Alan Watts
