Alan Watts explores diverse images and concepts of God, contrasting traditional paternalistic views with Eastern philosophical ideas like Brahman and shunyata. He critiques institutional religious imagery and advocates a faith beyond fixed images, embracing mystery, consciousness, and the feminine principle symbolized by Kali. Watts emphasizes the necessity of letting go of idols to experience a profound spiritual trust and understanding of existence and death.
Recorded at the First Unitarian Church in San Francisco in 1971, according to the Electronic University narration on the recording.
