Perhaps it is morally objectionable to some, but I have obtained a massive collection of Alan Watts audio/video recordings and for the past two months I've been playing them back as I fall into sleep and wake each morning to a brand new perspective...
Yes. Ive invited the soothing voice of mr. watts into my dreams.
I won't bother with explaining the origins of my discovery and appreciation because it does not matter. I am simply grateful to Rotech9, for this video, was for me, a beginning.
Yes it is. Alan really had it all figured out. To bad there aint more people like him these days, but unfortunately our connection to earth as a whole & our depth of understanding of the process of Yin & Yang and the strengths of our Chi has been diminnesed to a point where it is almost non attainable, unless were willing to live the life style of a Sage the future generations understanding will be forever lost. I havent time to do more then 2 videos of his quotes or lectures.
--I am a totally confused being who understands the world better than most, yet understands nothing...All these thoughts have passed through my curious brain...and I know these are just thoughts...
I feel suffocated to be stuck with a brain that only understands what it can understand. It'll be a shame if I die with the exploring the entire universe, electrons, quarks and beyond.
I can contradict everything I say, for my thoughts are limited by my language and what I have seen around me!
Weird story but true: as a teenager, I huffed gasoline (I don't suggest it, I was stupid), and I caught this "insight" in the moments my brain didn't get air, a truly dejavu feeling and vision, that I had been here before and I could but glimpse a pattern to life itself, it scared me at first, shook the core of my being. I get the same thing now, huffing N2O (lol). Yeah, I've seen people flip out over nothing doing this stuff, but,... Make of this what you will, "I'm not here to sell you this"
"My metaphysics, let me be perfectly frank with you, are that there is the central self, you can call it God, you can call it anything you like, and it's all of us"
@6marilyn6mans0n6 We need to get rid of the old monetary system which no longer works for humanity but instead stifles us. Please research Zeitgeist Movement and Venus Project. It might change your life if you're ready for it.
Yes it is. Alan is the man. Ive always had an appreciation for his work, had had a way of expressing himself that no one else could come close to. His knowledge & insight fullness opened up alot of peoples minds to things they may have never thought of before. Im glad you enjoyed it. I have more, but havent had time to make them into videos like I did this one. But because I get some many positive responses to this one, I think Ill get to work on somemore.
Beginning at 10:03 - I knew it! Dr Suess was right!!! "Horton Hears a Who" A story of an entire world on a spec of dust, that an elephant hears...A-U-M.
Wow...Alan knows how to touch that hemisphere of the brain that you need to here when you get caught up in the day to day BS of western society....it's kind of like "unscrambling the brain" through "rescrambling"....a refocus on what is important. What an "enlightened man"!
hah, that's funny, because this morning I woke up with the uncanny intention of wanting to watch this video yet again, and here I see your comment upon awakening. Coincidence? ;p
Alan simplified the most mysterious way and taught it to the masses, who didn't feel it at first, but couldn't forget it. If you listen to this stuff with an open mind and then try to put it aside and forget about it, as i did, it will come back to you. Something about it just makes sense. Something about it is so comforting. Something about it is so ... reverse brainwashing. Like rejuvenation.
i dont see it as negative as he does mention it is an part of the on and off....where there is no pain there is no pleasure ...no evil no good...soo i think its pretty balance although much suffering will be upon us we live in an exciting age
A balanced energy is like a yawning sensation. Your mind is for a moment only on the action of yawning. It is invigorating, energizing, renewing...This is how I envision the energy of the tao. Like a seed bursting to life, the energy flows from the source... This energy does not bother with such trivial ideas as good and evil, it just flows like a river to the ocean, pulses like your heart without thought... This is the energy of existance.
This almost brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for posting this. I started reading Watts whilst I was in H.S. and he was one of the early influences to my path.

Alan wrote many books.
It may be in one of his books Im not sure, but your best bet is to just write it down as you watch it.

What more impressive then that is that even more people are interested in it now then back then ..
So it is safe to say Alan left a legacy which people today are still enjoying ..
Life isnt a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.
