“You might feel that you yourself were doing everything that’s happening. That would be one way of feeling it. The other way of feeling it would be that you are doing nothing at all, but that everyone else is doing you, like a puppet on the end of strings. On the other hand, if you got the feeling you were doing it all, you would feel you are god almighty. It’s very easy for our consciousness to slip into either state of sensation. But one must be very careful not to misinterpret this. Both these ways of feeling are right, but they must be taken together.”

— Alan Watts
