“You see, if you think of the cosmos as basically a game of hide-and-seek, where the lord God is creating the universe by forgetting he is God and imagining he is you, then you see this is the fundamental way of getting rid of the eternal boredom of knowing all about it, of there being no surprises. The whole vitality of being alive is that it is always surprising. To be enlightened is to be surprised at everything, to see that everything is a miracle.”

— Alan Watts
