The "quote for the day" over at The Dish:
“God is the most obvious thing in the world. He is absolutely
self-evident – the simplest, clearest and closest reality of life and
consciousness. We are only unaware of him because we are too
complicated, for our vision is darkened by the complexity of pride. We
seek him beyond the horizon with our noses lifted high in the air, and
fail to see that he lies at our vary feet. We flatter ourselves in
premeditating the long, long journey we are going to take in order to
find him, the giddy heights of spiritual progress we are going to scale,
and all the time are unaware of the truth that ‘God is nearer to us
than we are to ourselves.’ We are like birds flying in quest of the air,
or men with lighted candles searching through the darkness for fire,” –
Alan Watts, from Behold The Spirit: A Study in the Necessity of Mystical Religion.
