    Summary:- Alan said here that basic reality is nothingness. It is all a dream. The essence of your mind is pure, clear void. It is like the nothingness of space, which contains the whole universe. Out of this void comes everything, and you are it.

      When he said ''you are it'' near the end, I think he meant ''you are everything in Universe.''

      as another commentator mention, Alan did have his difficulties (he was, after all, human), but he had much wisdom to give, explore and bring forth...I did hear a lecture of his in Cambridge, MA in 1971 or 1972, and then spent the weekend on a retreat with him and about a dozen others just west of Boston...it was a lovely weekend...my main takeaway from the weekend was to read and study Zen more closely...wish I could remember more, but that was quite awhile ago...still have all his books on a shelf...

    Really beautiful dance and choreography. Thank you. Didn't like the depressing setting though. Guess a hard surface is needed to do that kind of dance but I would have preferred something out in nature- but then I guess it would not have had enough "darkness" to make a Buddhist statement. Alan, a genius who shaped my life even if he ended up an alcoholic....
