Alan Watts - Infinite Possibilities

"When we decide, we're always worrying- 'did I think this over long enough? did I take enough data into consideration?'- and if you think it through you find that you never could take enough data into consideration. The data for a decision in any given situation is infinite. So what you do is: you go through the motions of thinking about what you will do about this, and then when the time comes to act you make a snap judgment. But we fortunately forget the variables that could have interfered with this coming out right. It's amazing how often it works." --Alan Watts

@Vvrroommm the music is a production music sound clip downloaded from freeplaymusic,com, unfortunately I no longer have it on my computer so I don't have any more information to tell you about it.

no one can express in words of how much an inspiration this man is to me

this predates the book "Blink" by about 30 years. Alan Watts was a genus.

of course, he would probably answer that by saying: 'thank you dear boy, but all that i am doing is simply telling you what you already know.'

Use every word he says... Don't just take pieces. For, words used out of context... well, you know where I'm going with this.

I also Saw*... funny how that message was exactly 500 characters if I spelled that word right.

This reminds me of my Salvia experience... except; there was a set amount of decisions for each situation I was presented with, and each separate decision lead to a different out come. 'So that means'. I felt as though certain decisions brought me to a different parallel universe with an alternate set of situations, and a whole new set of decisions/outcomes, etc, and so on... I also so the meaning of life. Why we're here. What we are. It's outstanding. Find peace with God. That's my only wish.

very good for impulsive people... a whole philosophy devoted to the eternal ( yet temporary) decisions made from impulse, the same impulse that drive the universe.

A devoutly religious man, who was a disciple of Bayazid, said to him one day: 'I am surprised that anyone who accepts God should not attend the mosque for worship.'

Bayazid answered: 'I, on the other hand, am surprised that anyone who knows God can worship him and not lose his senses, rendering his ritual prayer invalid.'

After hearing and watching videos on how, if I continue in sin and remain unrepented my soul will go to hell and burn for all eternity...I came here to be rejuvenated.

It calms me and allows me to realize I am glad to be alive, that every breath is a miracle, and that the only real sin in life is not appreciating what we have and enforcing misery on others...
