Alan Watts - Is Life Serious? (Part 1)

[KZiggy4]

i fucking miss u alan i have questions i dont have answers for

[ncripzx]

@KZiggy4 if you ask questions about ANYTHING. You are missing the point of life already ;)

[iSpiritMyfaith]

@ncripzx Curiosity is a joy of life. (; You can wish for answers, lest youre wishes becomes youre desires, and desire binds you. Quiten youre mind

[ncripzx]

@iSpiritMyfaith life is questionless. it never needed a question.

[iSpiritMyfaith]

@ncripzx nice answer. But before you can understand so, you need to have questioned it.

[ncripzx]

@iSpiritMyfaith who is there to question it?

[iSpiritMyfaith]

well, you just did, and i am alive/life.

Thanks for this piece that shows how much power and learning Watts derives from good humor! And if you dig that, check out the life and crazy adventures of America's first poet in English----Thomas Morton of Merrymount, who really lived in the spirit Watts is talking about (and made a great human success of it), but who by luck had to do it next door to the Pilgrims and Puritans---who "had" to take him down.... Stories, rare pics, film-clips and more about Morton at ANCIENT LIGHTS dot o-r-g

Freedom to play.

[AnEyeOfTheOpenMind]

[Froebs]

Yeah this is a really awesome video. This is a pretty great game. It's so great we make games about it, but they're not half as cool. No, this one's too complex in its simplicity to match.

[danathtiger]

What i love about Alan is how playful his game is, the seriousness of the sociological ramifications or the perpetual psychological interests don't matter cause we all know we need to "come of it" in reguards to any seriousness.

[knowthingman]

@danathtiger

indeed. he nailed it when he said that its sincerity, not seriousness, that matters.

[Comcouveflor]

@danathtiger Very well said!

[withouttail]

this is totally detached from the hot dog okay???
