  • I have no interest in reading Watts' books because I cannot conceive of his words without his voice or his laugh. It is part and parcel of the whole package.

  • @DGOGETTER I see this comment was from 6 months ago so you may understand what he's saying by now. Anyway J. Krishnamurti and Ram Dass books go well with Watts' books.

  • @zachf777 You're kidding right?

  • Interesting video!

    This is an invitation to anyone or everyone see an artist theory on the physics of light and time!

    This theory is based on two postulates

    1. Is that the quantum wave particle function Ψ represents the forward passage of time ∆E ∆t ≥ h/2π itself

    2. Is that Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle ∆×∆p×≥h/4π that is formed by the w- function is the same uncertainty we have with any future event that we can interact with turning the possible into the actual!

  • @stellarshore The ultimate point of it all is that there is no fundamental truth. There is no meaning to life except life itself, thats the beauty of it. We are born one day and we don't know why, so we spend our lives searching for something to make us feel complete.

    The fundamental truth of life, is that there is no truth. You'll notice that most mystical statements are paradoxical like that, so most people ignore them, but they take a self realization to fully understand.

  • Do you guys also hear in the middle of the vid an airplane?

  • lol there is zero wisdom, but like alan says "you cannot sway someone who is made up his mind", therefore that's your problem :D/ we are taught in school that everything goes in steps. Your mind's comprehension is not by step but the whole, and the whole is there right in front of you/right next to you/always there around/ it is you. Wisdom was never there, yet it is there at the same time. As you grow old, you found out how empty life is. That there is no wisdom, etc.

  • @SHIBBYiPANDA It's a teaching in one Buddhist school called "Zen Buddhism"

  • We take language too seriously. It's almost like we don't see, hear, smell, feel, or touch except through linguistic concepts.
