Reflecting the Mirror Pt B

Summary

Alan Watts discusses the paradox of free will and ego, emphasizing that true freedom arises from acting in harmony with nature rather than from self-control or ego-driven actions. He explores spiritual enlightenment, the limits of self-knowledge, and the role of gurus who use paradox and self-consciousness to guide seekers toward acceptance and trust in the unknown center of being. The talk highlights the necessity of surrendering illusion to gain strength and authentic freedom.
