Alan Watts and South Park?!? An unlikely (yet entertaining) combination. Check it out below.

*If you're not familiar with his work, boy are you in for a treat! Check out the Alan Watts website or sign up for his podcast here at Learn Out Loud.

“We could say that meditation doesn't have a reason or doesn't have a purpose. In this respect it's unlike almost all other things we do except perhaps making music and dancing. When we make music we don't do it in order to reach a certain point, such as the end of the composition. If that were the purpose of music then obviously the fastest players would be the best. Also, when we are dancing we are not aiming to arrive at a particular place on the floor as in a journey. When we dance, the journey itself is the point, as when we play music the playing itself is the point. And exactly the same thing is true in meditation. Meditation is the discovery that the point of life is always arrived at in the immediate moment.” ~Alan Watts

Enjoy the movies!
