When questioned sharply by students during his talk at University of California Santa Cruz in 1970, Watts responded, as he had from the early sixties, that he was not an academic philosopher but rather "a philosophical entertainer".

Watts has been criticized by Buddhists such as Philip Kapleau and D. T. Suzuki for allegedly misinterpreting several key Zen Buddhist concepts. In particular, he drew criticism from those who believe that zazen must entail a strict and specific means of sitting, as opposed to a cultivated state of mind available at any moment in any situation. Typical of these is Kapleau's claim that Watts dismissed zazen on the basis of only half a koan.[29] In regard to the aforementioned koan, Robert Baker Aitken reports that Suzuki told him, "I regret to say that Mr. Watts did not understand that story."[30] In his talks, Watts addressed the issue of defining zazen practice by saying, "A cat sits until it is tired of sitting, then gets up, stretches, and walks away."

I didn't say anything about my post because you didn't say anything about your post. And I have no idea what "paradigm" you think watts "makes a valid argument about" other than that one should not subordinate their mind to the "authority of the church to interpret the bible" in which I completely agree.

Actually I consider you to be the worthless organism here with your purpose to harass people who don't buy the snake oil you are trying to sell( warmed over adventist/sci-fi/pseudo science Sadler&Kellogs wet dream outdated mumbo-jumbo bullshit).
As for the badgering you are just as guilty of that as anyone here.
If you don't like what I have to say then you have the option to ignore or block.
I really don't care and you can kiss my behind.

Everything gets its knowledge from the same place . Its it's feelings of self worth that makes it all meaningless . It has a purpose , but if used to destroy what put it there , then something must go , and its not what put it there . That , will go on , with , or without it .

I agree. There is no conflict between true religion and real science.

Knowledge is forever this environment that gave it to us will be here forever. We cant beat it , and if we think that we can . we will die asasssssssssssssssssssssssssss imbiciles

to answer op...by faith...because to know is something beyond the understanding of primitive beings such as ourselves.

YOU "choose smoke and mirrors over reality" alright when you profess belief in a "Supreme Being" but assert that the Supreme Being is not a Supreme Personality.

I don't share your OPINION

How would it have a personality? Would it have a sense of humor, an accent, dresses fashionably or has unique mannerisms?

Well, why don't you explain why the Supreme Being many of your posts speak about is not a Supreme Personality?

if you think this environment will be here forever you are f**king blind man.

No. I understand that it is important to you that "God" be personified. I don't know why it's so important. Perhaps it is that you need to understand god that way so that his construct matches your book. You tell me, why is God a "personality"?

I think that it is more true to say "god is manifest in......" something. That "god" is found, revealed, or expressed in That that is alive, aware and conscious, or beautiful, or kind, or reflective of truth.
Our ability to recognize and understand it is based on proclivity and Grace to some extent and also to an openness of intellect. Most often we are dragged kicking and screaming to an experience of reality, if we are fortunate.

When that awareness becomes manifest in some human pole that has spent a lifetime of devotion and meditation that makes them one with the divine, THEN there becomes a Saint or a seer that is a personification of the light within, shaped and molded by the experience of contact and immersion in it. Those persons are the mouthpieces of God and what they have learned they can give to others.

Carlos Castinada said that "we are luminous beings" and with the right training and discipline we can experience it for ourselves. East meets West.

Why would a worthless organism care whether something is garbage or not?

You atheists think you are so smart but you are really ignorant and you are ignorant as a matter of choice.

:5.1 (27.3) Do not permit the magnitude of God, his infinity, either to obscure or eclipse his personality. “He who planned the ear, shall he not hear? He who formed the eye, shall he not see?” The Universal Father is the acme of divine personality; he is the origin and destiny of personality throughout all creation. God is both infinite and personal; he is an infinite personality. The Father is truly a personality, notwithstanding that the infinity of his person places him forever beyond the full comprehension of material and finite beings. *

1:5.2 (27.4) God is much more than a personality as personality is understood by the human mind; he is even far more than any possible concept of a superpersonality. But it is utterly futile to discuss such incomprehensible concepts of divine personality with the minds of material creatures whose maximum concept of the reality of being consists in the idea and ideal of personality. The material creature’s highest possible concept of the Universal Creator is embraced within the spiritual ideals of the exalted idea of divine personality. Therefore, although you may know that God must be much more than the human conception of personality, you equally well know that the Universal Father cannot possibly be anything less than an eternal, infinite, true, good, and beautiful personality.

:5.12 (29.2) In the contemplation of Deity, the concept of personality must be divested of the idea of corporeality. A material body is not indispensable to personality in either man or God. The corporeality error is shown in both extremes of human philosophy. In materialism, since man loses his body at death, he ceases to exist as a personality; in pantheism, since God has no body, he is not, therefore, a person. The superhuman type of progressing personality functions in a union of mind and spirit.

1:5.13 (29.3) Personality is not simply an attribute of God; it rather stands for the totality of the co-ordinated infinite nature and the unified divine will which is exhibited in eternity and universality of perfect expression. Personality, in the supreme sense, is the revelation of God to the universe of universes.

1:5.14 (29.4) God, being eternal, universal, absolute, and infinite, does not grow in knowledge nor increase in wisdom. God does not acquire experience, as finite man might conjecture or comprehend, but he does, within the realms of his own eternal personality, enjoy those continuous expansions of self-realization which are in certain ways comparable to, and analogous with, the acquirement of new experience by the finite creatures of the evolutionary worlds.

1:5.15 (29.5) The absolute perfection of the infinite God would cause him to suffer the awful limitations of unqualified finality of perfectness were it not a fact that the Universal Father directly participates in the personality struggle of every imperfect soul in the wide universe who seeks, by divine aid, to ascend to the spiritually perfect worlds on high. This progressive experience of every spirit being and every mortal creature throughout the universe of universes is a part of the Father’s ever-expanding Deity-consciousness of the never-ending divine circle of ceaseless self-realization.

YOU are the GARBAGE and you will be recycled.

Pssssssssssst hey king stupid you sound like a skipping record. You don't need to go out of your way to look like a dumbass, it shows through naturally.
