The sources are excerpts from the book "This Is It" by Alan Watts, a book exploring the spiritual and mystical experience and its relation to ordinary material life. Watts examines the concept of "cosmic consciousness," a state of insight that transcends conventional understanding of the universe. He argues that "cosmic consciousness" is not a mere intellectual concept, but an experiential reality that can be accessed through various means, including Zen meditation and even psychedelic substances. Watts critiques the limitations of dualistic thinking, emphasizing the importance of recognizing the interconnectedness of all things and the need for a more holistic approach to life and consciousness.
