In this episode, Alan Watts speaks about:
Ancient Chinese philosophies
How social institutions are mistaken for the real world
The self, Confucianism, and the roles we play in life
Taoism and the basic energy of the universe
Tao as the force of nature
How space and solid are two facets of one reality
Yang and Yin, positive and negative, male and female
Conscious dying and preparing to let go
Acting in accordance with nature

“Whereas the emphasis in the Confucian tradition in China is on interference to a large extent, keeping things in order, there is a certain anxiety about the whole thing, the emphasis of Taoism is to trust in the course of nature.” – Alan Watts
