From the Back Cover A fascinating entry into the deepest ways of knowing. -- Robert Kirsch, Los Angeles Times This is a series of essays representing philosopher Alan Wattss most recent thinking on the astonishing problems of mans relations to his material environment. The basic theme is that civilized man confuses symbol with reality, his ways of describing and measuring the world with the world itself, and thus puts himself into the absurd situation of preferring money to wealth and eating the menu instead of the dinner.Thus, with his attention locked upon numbers and concepts, man is increasingly unconscious of nature and of his total dependence upon air, water, plants, animals, insects, and bacteria. He has been hallucinated into the notion that the so-called external world is a cluster of objects separate from himself, that he encounters it, that he comes into it instead of out of it. Consequently, our species is fouling its own nest and is in imminent danger of self-obliteration.Here, a philosopher whose works have been mainly concerned with mysticism and Oriental philosophy gets down to the nitty-gritty problems of economics, technology, clothing, cooking, and housing. About the Author Counterculture philosopher Alan Watts was the author of more than twenty books, including The Way of Zen, The Wisdom of Insecurity, In My Own Way, and The Book: On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are. He died in Sausalito, California, in 1973. Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.

Suzuki: The Mind-less Scholar, About the Author, CHAPTER 1WEALTH VERSUS MONEYIn the year of Our Lord Jesus Christ 2000, the United States of America will no longer exist. This is not an inspired prophecy based on supernatural authority but a reasonably certain guess. The United States of America can mean two quite different things. The first is a certain physical territory, largely on the North American continent, including all such geographical and biological features as lakes, mountains and rivers, skies and clouds, plants, animals, and people. The second is a sovereign political state, existing in competition with many other sovereign states jostling one another around the surface of this planet. The first sense is concrete and material; the second, abstract and conceptual.If the United States continues for very much longer to exist in this second sense, it will cease to exist in the first. For the land and its life can now so easily be destroyed - by the sudden and catastrophic methods of nuclear or biological warfare, or by any combination of such creeping and insidious means as overpopulation, pollution of the atmosphere, contamination of the water and erosion of our natural resources by maniacal misapplications of technology. For good measure, add the possibilities of civil and racial war, self-strangulation of the great cities and breakdown of all major transportation and communication networks. And that will be the end of the United States of America, in both senses.There is, perhaps, the slight possibility that we may continue our political and abstract existence in heaven, there to enjoy being better dead than Red and, with the full authority of the Lord God, to be able to say to our enemies squirming in hell, We told you so! On the grounds of such hopes and values, someone may well push the Big Red Button, to demonstrate that belief in spiritual immortality can be in
