Description
Challenging conventional ideas of sex and marriage, Alan Watts discusses surrendering to the divine madness of love.
In this episode of Being in the Way, Alan Watts ponders:
* Falling in love as one of the most insane things we can do
* The idea of marriage versus the experience of falling in love
* The secret intent of the Christian repression of sex
* Sexual yoga and seeing our partner as a mutual guru and student
* The unpredictability of falling in love
* Being truthful and setting each other free within a relationship
* Love and the act of surrendering to another person

“Love is an act of surrender to another person, total abandonment. I give myself to you. Take me. Do anything you like with me. So, that’s quite mad. It’s letting things get out of control. Actually, the course of wisdom (what is really sensible) is to let go, to commit oneself, to give oneself up, and that’s quite mad. So we come to the strange conclusion that in madness lies sanity.” —Alan Watts
