Pl Precept # 15 All is a Mirror
My son called me a short while back, and asked me if I’d ever heard of Alan Watts. He was very serious about it, and I was totally surprised by his question. In my mind, everyone knew Alan Watts (British philosopher best known for his interpretations and interest in Eastern philosophy)
I had learned a lot from Alan Watts, he had been one of my favourite authors, his words spoke to me, a young Taoist living in Canada where my thoughts and ways were so foreign to most around me. Alan introduced and popularised Eastern philosophy by his writing and teachings now I see that his lectures and talks have been transposed and are available on YouTube. The wonders of the modern world.
For anyone interested, this is the official Alan Watts web page Alan Watts.com
He was prolific as a writer, and speaker. One of the first to interpret Eastern wisdom for a Western Audience. With our Church of Perfect Liberty here in Canada, at times this is how I sometimes feel, when I try to introduce and explain, that our church is a philosophy and way of life.
My son renewed my determination to work faithfully and diligently every day to bring the PL Way to North America. World Peace is so so important to our well-being as inhabitants of this planet.
The PL teachings help us to live in a way that will encourage and help us, live a happy and peaceful, balanced life, this will radiate out from us… bringing more love and acceptance of our unique and diversified personalities and cultures, when we know and show respect, we ourselves, grow and gain from new beginnings..
We are all ONE –
know love, show love, be love.. nurture and exist in a peaceful world

In quiet reflection today, I wanted to transport myself back to the Holy Land (Japan, headquarters) if only one could simply snap one’s fingers and voila.. we would be standing where we wanted to be.
Faith will shine through, even the darkest of times, Nature will go on with her infinite art forms, and in quiet meditation, I can be “home”
There is a wonderland around us. We walk through it every day. There are magical people that pass us by on the street every day. People with dreams and imaginations just like ours, who from looking at them we would never know that they were actors in their own theatres and plays. Yet at night they could be transforming the world of others with their creativity and talents. You need only walk though a museum, see a window display, every where and especially at this time of year, you will see the creative expressions decorating homes and whole streets…. We love to delight.
