“Everybody is fundamentally the ultimate reality. Not God in a politically kingly sense, but God in the sense of being the self, the deep down basic whatever there is. And you're all that... only you're pretending you're not.”
— Alan Watts

Simplified Meaning:
Every person has the core essence of the universe within them. This doesn't mean a ruler or a traditional god but refers to a deep, intrinsic connection to everything that exists. Imagine a drop of water in the ocean; the drop is part of the ocean and has all the qualities of it. Similarly, each person is part of a greater reality and shares its essence. However, people often forget this and act like they are separate and small. Recognizing this can help someone feel more connected and empowered in their life, understanding they have a significant and meaningful place in the world.
