Alan Wilson Watts (6 January 1915 – 16 November 1973) was a well-known British philosopher, writer and speaker, best known for his interpretation of Eastern philosophy for Western audiences. He left behind more than 25 books and an audio library of nearly 400 talks, which are still in great demand.

In this episode we examine the myth that people have been conditioned to believe - that they are trapped inside their skin. They are the drop, not the ocean. The reality is, you are not separate from anyone or anything. You are the big bang.
