Mystical insight.

Allan Watts is a truly interesting person to find out more about. Philosopher, writer and speaker, known all over the world. He was trying to teach our western souls of Eastern philosophy and not only. He experimented with psychedelics for " a mystical insight" and later said realy interesting and thought-provoking thing about psychedelic drug use - "If you get the message, hang up the phone."

Below a fragment of his lecture plot which is woven into music journey from Nuages.

Let's suppose that you are able every night to dream any dream you want to dream and you would fulfill all your wishes. You would have every kind of pleasure and after several nights you would say wohaa, that was pretty great but now, let's have a surprise, let have a dream which isn't under control, well something is going to happen to me that I don't know what is going to be.

If you awaken from this illusion, and you understand that black implies white, self implies other, life implies death — or shall I say, death implies life — you can conceive yourself. Not conceive, but feel yourself, not as a stranger in the world, not as someone here on sufferance, on probation, not as something that has arrived here by fluke, but you can begin to feel your own existence as absolutely fundamental. What you are basically, deep down, far, far in, is simply the fabric and structure of existence itself.
