Become What You Are: Expanded Edition

<P>"Life<br />exists only at this very moment, and in this moment it is infinite and eternal.<br />For the present moment is infinitely small; before we can measure it, it has<br />gone, and yet it exists forever. . . . You may believe yourself out of harmony<br />with life and its eternal Now; but you cannot be, for you are life and exist<br />Now."—from <br /><I>Become<br />What You Are<br /></I><br /><P><br /><P>In<br />this collection of writings, including nine new chapters never before available<br />in book form, Watts displays the intelligence, playfulness of thought, and<br />simplicity of language that has made him so perennially popular as an<br />interpreter of Eastern thought for Westerners. He draws on a variety of<br />religious traditions, and covers topics such as the challenge of seeing one's<br />life "just as it is," the Taoist approach to harmonious living, the<br />limits of language in the face of ineffable spiritual truth, and the<br />psychological symbolism of Christian thought.
