do you happen to know when or where these were recorded?

@PrometheanReach

Hi. These videos were recorded from Alan Watts' Eastern Wisdom and Modern Life 4x4 VHS set. There are 16 episodes in total. I believe they were recorded in the early sixties ("Alan Watts" Wikipedia). Here's a book that seems to includes much of the material in the video series: Eastern Wisdom, Modern Life: Collected Talks: 1960-1969 (ISBN: 1577311809)

@PrometheanReach

Good! But how do you clean up the audio? What software do you use? I was going to do that, but didn't know how. I use Cyberlink PowerDirector for video capture. Thx

i wonder if he was in WW2? hes got a trained officers manner in him!

That was fantastic! Thank you very much! We miss Alan; hard to believe he would have been 96. However, his words are with us. Cheers and greatly appreciated.

but to only reveal what buddhism's essence is to the socially mature is to put a lense over one's perspective that you must look through first to be allowed in which makes it simply relative to those who first have the lense but not everyone does and some would say that few do? Christianity requires no such lense which is a difference between the two he failed to mention, that Christianity is self-explanatory/self-sufficie­nt/self-contained while buddhism relies on certain "lenses" perhaps?

Excellent!!! As I see it, Zen=Modern Psychotherapy.

@87SilentSpace i use AVS. i highly suggest you get the software package online. $60. it has a program for just about every facet of video production. audio, video, image....editing, converting. get stuff, well worth the money.

cheers again. peace.
