People imagine that letting themselves go would have disastrous results; trusting neither circumstances nor themselves, which together make up life, they are forever interfering and trying to make their own souls and the world conform to preconceived patterns.  This interference is simply the attempt of the ego to dominate life.  But when you see that all such attempts are fruitless, and when you relax the fear born resistance to life in yourself and around you, which is called egoism, you realize the freedom of union with Brahman (Life).

--Alan Watts
