No work or love will flourish out of guilt, fear, or hollowness of heart. Just as no valid plans for the future can be made by those who have no capacity for living now. Here in this audio lecture titled The Spectrum of Love we hear Alan Watts teach about opening our hearts to others, and giving our love to them.
<h3><span style="color: #993366;">Alan Wilson Watts</span></h3>
(6 January 1915 – 16 November 1973) was a British philosopher, writer, and speaker, best known as an interpreter and populariser of Eastern philosophy for a Western audience. Born in Chislehurst, England, he moved to the United States in 1938 and began Zen training in New York. Pursuing a career, he attended Seabury-Western Theological Seminary, where he received a master's degree in theology. Watts became an Episcopal priest in 1945, then left the ministry in 1950 and moved to California, where he joined the faculty of the American Academy of Asian Studies.
<h3><span style="color: #993366;">Early Teaching Career</span></h3>
Watts gained a large following in the San Francisco Bay Area while working as a volunteer Radio programmer. He worked at KPRA, a Pacifica Radio station in Berkeley. Watts wrote more than 25 books and articles on subjects important to Eastern and Westerm religion. He introduced the then-burgeoning youth culture to <i>The Way of Zen</i> (1957), one of the first bestselling books on Buddhism. In <i>Psychotherapy East and West</i> (1961), Watts proposed that Buddhism could be thought of as a form of psychotherapy and not a religion. He considered <i>Nature, Man and Woman</i> (1958) to be, "from a literary point of view — the best book I have ever written." He also explored human consciousness, in the essay "The New Alchemy" (1958), and in the book <i>The Joyous Cosmology</i> (1962).

Towards the end of his life, he divided his time between a houseboat in Sausalito and a cabin on Mount Tamalpais. Many of his books are now available in digital format. Many of his recorded talks and lectures are available on the Internet. According to the critic Erik Davis, his "writings and recorded talks still shimmer with a profound and galvanizing lucidity."
