PS Thank you for posting this excellent clip---I wish every person on the planet could hear just 10 minutes of A.W. It would change the world altogether.
That our sitting here IS "the beatific vision" reminds me of Minoan and Etruscan fresco-paintings. Critics always so struck by their focus on the most ordinary daily scenes from life in their central arts---while as Watts argues here, face it: you're LOOKing at their "heaven," in this life itself (which they painted in such luminosity and sensuous, observed detail)....ANCIENT LIGHTS dot o-r-g
@Agui007 Watts' son Mark is currently making a movie about his father called "Why Not Now?" It's due for release early in 2012. I've seen a first cut preview and recommended to all Alan Watts fans.
Just when I thought I'd heard all of the Watt's talks this little gem comes along. 'The only god you can cling to is the idea of god...stop clinging...real faith is when you do not hold on to anything anymore'
You always have the best pics on your vids. I liked this lecture. It reminded me of the part of the "Hua Hu Ching" that said: "These are notions of the mind, which is like a knife, always chipping away at the Tao, trying to render it graspable and manageable. But that which is beyond form is ungraspable, and that which is beyond knowing is unmanageable. There is, however, this consolation: She who lets go of the knife will find the Tao at her fingertips." I really enjoy your videos!
@MusicMan20061210 The audio was recorded in the late 1960s and definitely not of the best quality. However, what is being said is so incredibly insightful, I think the sound quality is of very little significance - don't you agree?
Religion is an illusion of believing something that's not there, a belief of something that is called mind control and manipulation. we are believing on an imaginary figure that's not real. Only real in this world is humans. we are the physical reality. we live in a world full of hidden evil that has brought nothing but negative energies they feed on. but the end times means end of pain suffering and negative energies. God is watching everything. ( Nibiru is being spoken a lot lately?
@MrNibiru10 your right about it being mind control. It's an idea that acts like a parasite and infects people brains. They get a rush of endorphins and it's basically an addiction to you own brain chemicals .
check out my video on mind control, I thing we are in agreement.
a false belief by definition is a delusion and delusion is a mental illness
ok so let's find and murder jesus and buddah, respectfully (may i suggest a sharp needle through the brain). then, and then only, may we reach enlightenment. ohm.
:) if you let go of what you consider jesus and buddha, they will eliminate themselves naturally. You need do nothing, but see your mind as it truly is :) like the heart sutra says "form is emptiness and emptiness is form" most people see only form.. the illusion of how things look.. but their true essence is empty.. (form is emptiness) but some cling to emptiness and thus it becomes a form which you must let go of (emptiness is form) its quite deep and wise :)

A fascinating audio. I've come across several of Alan Watts's talks and I am very interested.

One can also say that:
The invention of a microphone stand was a blessing!
Here we can say,it is very lacking.
