"Alan Watts, an English immigrant to the United States, played perhaps a more central role than any other popularizer of Zen since Suzuki. Although Watts neither consistently practiced meditation nor called himself a Buddhist, his books, such as The Way Of Zen (1957), reached thousands and drew many to organized Zen practice."~New Historical Atlas Of Religion In America(pg.266.)

Satori is "above the dualism of rest and motion."~ from The Zen Koan as a means of Attaining Enlightenment(pg.20)

"Everything as it moves makes stops. So the God has stopped. The sun, moon, stars, trees, are where he has stopped."~from the back cover of the 1967 LP HOW TO BLOW YOUR MIND AND HAVE A FREAK-OUT PARTY by the Unfolding. The Unfolding was led by David Dalton(LLVS pg.137.) See Dalton's article on Brian in the June '98 issue of MOJO.
"Brian is a fantastic reader, this is another thing people don't understand. If people would take time to talk to him-'cause he doesn't talk, he's non-verbal, he's a non-verbal human who reads intently, reads some of the heaviest material and instantly knows exactly what's going on."~David Anderle in Crawdaddy!(LLVS pg.223.)
