I sure wish you'd re-upload this without the new age crystal gazing music. It tries to color my mind with a bunch of emotions that have nothing to do with either me or the lecture being given.

30:45 Listen... as a man in the audience experiences satori. Hahahaha...

@reddyandre ... ...Also, wasn't it Alan Watts himself who said that the cosmos is inherently playful and that life is like a dance... If not for beautiful music and absolutely gorgeous footage, what's the point of being here?

@reddyandre I think those emotions have everything to do with you and the lecture. I agree that music can be incredibly annoying when you really want to deeply understand what is being said, instead of getting some kind of high out of the video (assuming the music doesn't suck), but to me this one seems to be an exception. Also, when you listen to this music without putting it into the category of "new age crystal gazing music" it's actually quite beautiful. Labeling it destroys it..

@ChaseManhattan516 A man? That sounds like a woman to me...

@reddyandre If you don't like it, pay no mind.... it's better than most of the mixes I've seen where you can hardly make out his words. If you don't like it, you could go buy the lecture series. Just a suggestion ;)

great footage!

Despite the music, this is so good. Fascinating!

@reddyandre The music isn't meant to give a crystal gazing feel. Its just meditative music. A lot of gongs and dings. It gives a crystal gazing feel because when you are in that point you are focused and in a meditative state.

@ReaINewsFeed You seem to embody a nice compassion and love for others. Where do you learn that virtue of life?

@reddyandre i concur!!! every other alan watts and terence mckenna video is like this. background music is supposed to help facilitate narrative. being that this is a loose-knit talk that is more tantamount to improv (as was watts' typical style) there is no forward moving narrative to push. not to mention, acoustically it de-emphasizes alan's prolific voice. and why would you leave it on for the entire duration of the lecture? less is more. watts' words are fine on their own.
