“The point is that God is what nobody admits to being, and everybody really is.” ~Alan Watts

What are the circumstances that causes one to question the long traditions they’ve been taught? How, and why does one question their role in society? While many people have pondered these questions, very few are able to communicate simplistic, yet spiritual alternative ways of seeing the universe, without the structure of religion. And so for many, this is the appeal of Alan Watts, who, since the 1950s, has consistently been one of the most popular voices on the Pacifica Radio Network.

While his death in 1973 saddened listeners worldwide, Alan Watts’ spirit is alive and well, and to this day his Sunday morning show (it’s all re-runs now!) on Pacifica Radio KPFK enjoys throngs of the faithful. This week on From the Vault, we’ll listen to Alan Watts, a great interpreter of Eastern philosophies for the West and a fixture in Pacifica Radio’s History.
