Alan Watts is simply a great philosopher. I recommend his books and videos.

His take on Eastern philosophy will take your mind on a doozy.

quoting nevent1q…a594

“The playing of the Self is therefore like a drama in which the Self is both the actor and the audience. On entering the theater the audience knows that what it is about to see is only a play, but the skillful actor creates a maya, an illusion of reality which gives the audience delight or terror, laughter or tears. It is thus that in the joy and the sorrow of all beings the Self as audience is carried away by itself as actor.”
