We do not "come into" this world, we come out of it, as leaves from a tree. As the ocean "waves", the universe "peoples". Every individual is an expression of the whole realm of nature, a unique action of the total universe. Rice, D. L., & Columbus, P. J. (2012). Alan Watts--here and now: Contributions to Psychology, philosophy, and religion (SUNY series in Transpersonal and humanistic psychology). State University of New York Press.

Watts refers to quantum physics and relativity as if these support his viewpoint. Just as mass is energy, he says that "this relativity, or interpendence, of the two is as close to a metaphysical unity underlying differences as anyone could wish."
