​body

Lyrics

[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
