If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it, did it actually happen? If a universe is to exist but no one is conscious to experience it, did it ever really exist? That is what Watts means when he says "black implies white, self implies other, life implies death." The material existence, implies the immaterial consciousness. For a universe to exist, it needs someone to exist within it. Likewise, for someone to exist it needs a universe to exist within. We as conscious creatures are fundamental to the nature of reality.

If there was a god of this reality, he would want to play a game of pretending he wasn't god. He would choose to have a dream in which he has forgotten that he is dreaming. If you were god, you would actually choose to live the life that you are currently living. One life that exists within the infinite multiplicity of possible lives there are to live. You chose to live as though you were living for the first time, each time; and to live as though when you die, you'll never live again.

We are all part of god's dream. We are all living out a beautiful life full of raw emotion, gripping stories, love, loss, peace, suffering, successes and failures. Each of our lives are an amazing adventure each worth experiencing. This life will take you wherever you want it to go, as you continue to play the game of pretending you aren't god.
