Alan Watts's forgotten book on world mythology -- myths of light and darkness, good and evil, and the mystical unity that sees the transcendent whole behind apparent opposites

Alan Watts is today remembered as a trailblazing interpreter of Eastern philosophy, but The Two Hands of God reveals a different side of his multifaceted genius. In this ambitious work, Watts takes readers on a fascinating journey through the mythology of China, Egypt, India, the Middle East, and medieval Europe. His theme is the human experience of polarity, a condition in which opposing qualities define and complement each other.

Light cannot exist without darkness, good cannot exist without evil, and male cannot exist without female. Chinese philosophy expresses this idea of universal polarity with the concepts of yin and yang, while other cultures express it through the symbolic language of myth, literature, and art. Watts illustrates the way great sages and artists across time have seen beyond the apparent duality of the universe to find a deeper unity that transcends and embraces everything.

This reprint, originally published in 1963, will appeal to fans of Joseph Campbell and anyone interested in world mythology, particularly expressions of nonduality throughout the world's spiritual traditions.

You can wear them in the water because they are 14 k gold
Love these earrings. They were a little smaller than I thought and the clasp gets wonky after a while.

These have been a conversational piece
Style: 16mm Rose Gold
I thought these were cute. I purchased two sets because I have two holes. They seem like a good quality of rose gold. They are not to big but the heart just hugs my ears.
