This is one of the very best descriptions of mysticism and the human race’s experience, it’s useless attempts to express or use the phenomena, I have ever come across.
I think it will resonate profoundly with true mystics and Seekers.
Reblog these posts as much as you like. No copyright is imposed. About the author: Keith is a "pratyeka" mystic according to Buddhism because his Mystical Experiences of Reality (MER) were spontaneous. (He is not a Buddhist or member of any religion). He had MERs every year from the age of 15 to 35 years of age. Pratyeka mystics don't teach, preach, evangelise, or prosletise what they know. However, when Keith recognises those who are chosen and driven to seek Ultimate Reality he does reach out to them, cautiously, to help them stop floundering and recognise themselves, know what is happening to them. Then his inclination is to remove himself unless called upon. All Is Well.

Wonderful. I have read Watts but never heard his voice before. You rarely hear that clipped BBC accent these days. Canterbury Cathedral and the Kings School are so very familiar to me and I have no doubt contributed to his sense of wonder. He was certainly a man who had the courage of his convictions and lived his life accordingly.
