Anti Intellectuals

[Alan Watts]
You have to understand how things are up here
So then, in the, uh, situation of the zen community
Safeguards are set up
Within which, you can learn how to act without deliberation
Which is in, see, in a sense
Going back to the state of innocence
Now it doesn't mean that you give up thinking
It doesn't mean that you become an "Anti-Intellectual"
You all can also learn, and this is part of the later phases of said training
How to think spontaneously
How to deliberate spontaneously
The saying is, you see:
"Stand or walk as you will, but whatever you do; don't wobble"
So, this is our difficulty
Because the human mind, uh, ha- is a feedback system
Feedback ha-has a peculiar susceptibility to nervousness
There was a young man who said;
"Though it seems that I know that I know
What I would like to see is the eye that knows me
When I know that I know that I know"
