THIS IS IT: an Alan Watts radiant film about the it that is already looking

THIS IS IT is Song 12 in Out of Your Mind, and the radiant film. It is the warm twin of One Hand. Where that one was a black void and silence, this one fills with light. The it you have been looking for is the one that is looking. You are it, already, you just disguised it so well you forgot. So the film does not climb to its point, it settles into it: a pre dawn field, a bunny walking toward you, and then the light blooms and two more selves are simply there. A Hildegard chant score that was always already home. CC BY 4.0.

ONE HAND: an Alan Watts silence film about the koan that breaks the answer-machine

ONE HAND is Song 11 in Out of Your Mind, and the silence film. It is the one about the koan. Watts said the koan is not a riddle to solve, it is a device to break the machine in you that needs an answer. Hear the sound of one hand, now explain it, and the explaining stops. So this film is the opposite of every other one in the series. A black void, a pool of light, a meditating bunny, an enso drawing itself, and a sparse Honkyoku Zen score. The empty space turns out to be full of stars. CC BY 4.0.
