    About this audiobook

    Alan Watts discusses the fundamental attitudes that run through all religions or 'ways of liberation', as the Far Eastern disciplines might better be described.By following these practices to the extremes of repentance, rebellion, and resignation, one may be freed from the endless cycles of reincarnation which perpetuate the human condition.
