I was listening to some Alan Watts lectures last night and started questioning my existence last night so I wrote this little verse; if anyone else has any favourite philosophers they'd like to recommend that'd be cool too

>If i find my true self then what is there left to achieve
>What if I can't find something greater than me
>My existence is meaningless but yet is the reason itself
>That this reality is materialised in indefinite being
>Thus life’s circular purpose is of little reprieve

>I cannot be certain if our reality itself is truly real this feeling of uncertainty lest we digest
>We feel everything before we know what it is to feel
>Predestined in time, our existence of choice and consequence
>Are synchronisms of our conscious being revealed

If he really is accurately explaining Hinuism, Daoism & Zen Buddhism in his lectures then I think I've found my place in the world spiritually.
