𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐊𝐞𝐩𝐭 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭: 𝐓𝐚𝐭 𝐓𝐯𝐚𝐦 𝐀𝐬𝐢 — 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐈𝐭 “You know, there’s a strange way in which obviousness conceals things. I’ve often been struck by the fact that some of the very greatest discoveries that Man has made have been occasion when he’s suddenly noticed something that was staring him in the face all the time. And when we see it, we say: “Good heavens! Why didn’t I ever see that before? There it was, right under my nose, and I never noticed it!” Oh, this sort of thing happens, I suppose, every day when you lose your glasses, and you go around all over the house looking for them, and then suddenly they’re on your nose. Or you’ve lost your handbag, and there it is over your shoulder.” — Alan Watts, 'RECOLLECTION EASTERN WISDOM AND MODERN LIFE (EPISODE 7),' 1959, at 00:00:31
