Body

[Narration: Alan Watts]

How does your head look to your eyes?

Well, I'll tell you

It looks like what you see out in front of you

Because all that you see out in front of you is how you feel inside your head

It is easy enough to stand still

The difficulty is to walk without touching the ground

Why do you feel so heavy?

It isn't just a matter of gravitation and weight

It is that you feel that you are carrying your body around

Common speech expresses this all the time; "life is a drag"!

"I feel I am just dragging myself around."

"My body is a burden to me."

To whom? To whom, that's the question. You see?

And when there is nobody left for whom the body can be a burden, the body isn't a burden

But so long as you fight it, it is

It's like saying...you know, "to feel the feelings"

It is a redundant expression
