Alan Watts - Myth of Who Am I (Part 1)

Alan Watts’ view on the "myth of myself" revolves around the idea that the sense of a separate, isolated self is an illusion. In his lectures and writings, Watts often explored how individuals in Western cultures tend to see themselves as distinct entities, separated from the rest of the world. He argued that this perception is a significant source of anxiety and suffering. Watts proposed that the true nature of existence is a continuous and inseparable flow where individuals are not isolated beings but integral parts of the universe. By perpetuating the myth of a separate self, people alienate themselves from their surroundings and lose touch with the interconnected reality of existence.

Watts encouraged people to dismantle this myth by understanding the concept of non-duality, which emphasises the unity of all things. He drew from Eastern philosophies like Zen Buddhism and Taoism to illustrate that the self is not an isolated ego but a process that is deeply interconnected with everything else. According to Watts, recognising this interconnectedness can lead to a more profound sense of peace and belonging. By seeing through the illusion of the separate self, individuals can experience a more authentic and liberated way of living, aligning themselves with the natural flow of life and reducing existential anxiety.
