This Is IT by Alan Watts, 1978

A collection of six essays that deal with the relationship of mystical experience to everyday life. The title essay on cosmic consciousness includes the author's account of his own experiences in the inner realm. 'Instinct, Intelligence and Anxiety' is a study of the paradoxes of self-consciousness; 'Spirituality and Sensuality' presents a lively debate on the false opposition of spirit and matter; and 'The New Alchemy' gives a balanced account of the states of consciousness akin to spiritual experience. The collection also includes the text of the author's celebrated pamphlet 'Beat Zen, Square Zen and Zen'.
