Description
"The Book: On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are" by Alan Watts explores the illusion of separateness and the deeper connection between the self and the universe. Drawing from Eastern philosophies, particularly Vedanta, Watts challenges the idea of an isolated ego, arguing that this perception fuels alienation and imbalance. He encourages a shift in perspective to recognize one’s place within the larger whole. Viewing identity through this lens can bring a greater sense of harmony and understanding.
