Space is considered to be nothingness by many. But after all it is the background in which we see everything. It is against space and within the dimension of time that we experience everything we experience. Space and time are the two basic dimensions of our world but are uncommonly illusive. We can say they are our way of thinking of the universe as being a system of patterns. And our awe at the vastness of space may be man's astonishment at himself.

Alan Watts discusses the fundamental attitudes that run through all religions or "ways of liberation," as the Far Eastern disciplines might better be described. By following these practices to the extremes of repentance, rebellion, and resignation, one may be freed from the endless cycles of reincarnation which perpetuate the human condition.

Too short to be relevant.

This is an excerpt from Alan Watts' seminar and in my opinion it is too short to be really useful. It speaks about duality had such but it's clipped off at the end abruptly and he makes reference to other parts of his lecture. I recommend buying the complete book or at least one of the excerpts that's more than an hour long. That said, it's still Alan Watts which means it's all good.

Ends mid-sentence

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

In as much as I love Alan Watts & all of his works, this "book" ends in mid-sentence, HUGELY disappointed.

What did you like best about this story?

Alan Watts

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of the narrator?

I would have cast it exactly as it was.. but I would have FINISHED the speech.

Do you think Playing Hide and Seek needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

No, Alan Watts is dead.

Any additional comments?

Super disappointment
