"Noise, Water, Meat"
"Noise, Water, Meat" is a concept from Alan Watts that highlights five senses or elements through which we experience the world: hearing (noise), touch and physical sensation (water), and nourishment or life-force (meat). It emphasizes that our perception is shaped by these fundamental aspects—sound, sensory experience, and biological needs. By understanding and appreciating these elements, we can better connect with the present moment and recognize how our senses influence our understanding of reality. It's a reminder to acknowledge these basic experiences as integral parts of our existence.
