Alan Watts Puppets Quotations

We tend to regard ourselves as puppets of the Past, driven along by something that is always behind us.

The real you is not a puppet that life pushes around, the real deep down you is the whole universe.

You're not something that's a result of the big bang. You're not something that is a sort of puppet on the end of the process. You are still the process. You are the big bang, the original force of the universe.

What you do is what the whole universe is doing at the place you call the here and now. You are something the whole universe is doing in the same way that the wave is something that the whole ocean is doing. The real you is not a puppet which life pushes around. The real deep-down you is the whole universe.
