Akira The Don, Alan Watts - Cosmic Mail Parent lyrics

The Chinese looks upon the
Universe as an organism
As we shall subsequently see
But the dramatic idea is basic to Hinduism

Now you could speak about Hinduism on
Two levels at least
One I will call the the metaphysical level
And the other the mythological level

If you speak on the metaphysical level
You can speak only in negative language
You can say what the divine
The ultimate reality is not
If you speak on the mythological level
You may speak of what the divine is like
Because myth is not a falsehood as one uses
The word in a sophisticated way
A myth is an image a concrete image
In terms of which Man makes
Sense of the world
Which Man makes sense of the world

Thus, the idea of God the father
Or God the maker is a myth
Cause it's an image cause it’s an image
And Christian theologians distinguish equally
Between two kinds of theological language
Which are respectively called
Cataphatic and apophatic
Apophatic language is negative
As when we say God is infinite and eternal
Cataphatic language is mythological as
When we say god the Father
God is love nor the positive designation

We are not saying God is a cosmic male parent
But that he is analogous with the father
We are not saying God is a cosmic male parent
But that he is analogous with the father
We are not saying God is a cosmic male parent
But that he is analogous with the father

So, with Hinduism so, with Hinduism

What I’m going to speak to you first of
All is the mythological language of Hinduism
The idea of the universe as the big act
The universe is God playing hide and seek
With himself for God is thought off
Fundamentally to the Hindu as the self
THE self the cosmic eye
