Having read and listened to Alan Watts I have become convinced that the self or ego or "I" as we commonly call it is a delusion, and a dangerous one at that. It leads to all kinds of confusions and contradictions.

It is this delusion that is the source of our pain and jealousy. We should realize that we are part of a greater whole, that our own existence is inseparable from the rest of the universe. We are all one. Cheesey.

Rather than say "I think therefore I exist", I prefer the simpler, "thought exists"
