    Yes, he is. I attended a large seminar (or whatever it may have been called) by him in the very early 70’s. I can’t remember much of it except that i was very impressed. And the huge crowd that turned out to hear him.

    Wait, I do remember one thing he said that has stuck with me through all these years. “When Jesus said, ‘I am the Christ,’ he was not saying, ‘You are not.’”

    I read a lot of Alan Watts’ work in the ’70’s and I especially enjoyed his autobiography “In My Own Way”. From the day that my mother saw that book on my desk until her death some thirty years later, she insisted that it had “ruined” me by making me oppositional and strong-willed in rejecting the “right” things in life and frittering my life away with “useless” activities and the “wrong” people. I hope she was right!
