  • I love u all as I love myself

  • my favorite of his lectures

  • I can't never understand the eclectic mind or any sort of theory of mind of this kind.

  • get this on the television people need to hear this kind of commen sense thinking.

  • nice!!

  • We luv the man!

  • What does he mean when he says "I am the universe"?

    I understand we are made of the same things the universe is made of, but how does that mean we ARE the universe?

  • Hi,

    We are the universe like the earth is the universe, but we are the universe come alive. We are the universe seeing itself. Its like the same relationship your hand has with your arm.

  • take his idea of big bang. if there was one, it (everything) still is the big bang. we are still big banging...we are part of big bang, it is still wiggling...think of nouns as verbs.

  • its like DNA, you are your parents and your parents are you, just different versions/copies, we are the universe by being the universe's children.

  • Cause he's reminding us that we are not even separate from it; or maybe better said: the universe is not apart or "above" from us anymore more then an ocean is "above" a raindrop.

  • I believe, having listened to him a lot, that he means that we are all connected as if we are each there is no place where we end and the rest of outside ourselves begins, just like each wave is not seperate from the ocean, and in act a wave could be said to have the consciousness of the entire ocean.

  • Also during the evolution we were at the mercy of the world, our fate depending on how our environment functioned, so inscribed in our nature are the best strategies to use in any environment: our needs safeguard those strategies both in the living environment, in the functioning of the society and in our own lives. Feelings guide us to answer those needs, so following feelings is the best strategy in the tough world. This ties you and the whole world to one single whole!

  • "....inscribed in our nature are the best strategies to use in any environment." Great point. What do you think some of those strategies are?

  • great vid! read "the book" and "nature, man and woman" for more (among others).

  • alan watts was the man

  • @shickboy yes he was. But he will say he is nothing but space in the universe.

  • @shickboy he died?

  • @heyfkldsm he died in 1973, you don't even notice his ideas are 40 years old though. he was way ahead of his time
