This summarised lecture by Alan Watts is from the Alan Watts Library at alanwatts.org.
The image of Jesus is owned by the church traditions and authorities. He has been moulded to fit the interests of the church patriarchs for centuries, so much so that the prevailing image of Jesus is now so far removed from what he truly represented.
Namely an energy from the future who came to earth to bring illumination and knowledge to humanity.
The reason why the Jesus/Jeshua personality came to earth was to create an opening or doorway to a different state of consciousness.
He wanted to set an example of the possibilities that are available to each human being. He wanted to hold up a mirror to human beings and remind them of their own divine origin and the dormant potentials they carried within.
The potentials for peace, freedom and mastership over oneself.

I’m a former Catholic.
Still recovering at 53 years old from the indoctrination of guilt, shame and fear. It’s taking me almost my entire life to get rid of most of it but it’s still there.
I left the Catholic Church 44 years ago and never looked back. Been a student of the bible for the past 40 years which set me at Liberty.
I am sorry for your bad experience. The Holy Spirit has placed you where you belong. My experience was exactly opposite of yours.
Catholic or not! There’s several people who are healing from the traumas that Christian Churches have created. You are not alone! Just know that because if you see anyone who once went to church but refuses to do so? Something happened behind those walls that we don’t know about.
At least ur mind and heart are open to new insights and wisdom.✌️
@@CarrieBiggerstaff or were opened to the the Gnostic gospels,dead sea scrolls,newly exposed gospels of Mary Magdalene and more.there is no one TRUTH,only interpretation...
After all,remember all those *defilers*burnt at a stake,religious wars.killing in the name of love for holy spirit,god,jesus..
The more I look deeper into religions, the more I became religionless. 😮
It's another tool of control. Faith is one thing. Religion is corrupt because humans are corrupt.
Sometimes, we need to look less into religion and more into ourselves to find God.
I've been there. Now I enjoy them all or only the popular ones so far. I'm trying to learn, read, watch as much as I can. One thing I feel in my soul to be true is that there is Good and Evil. And Evil can be helped to be good and good can be tricked into being evil. If I have free will than I'm able to come to my own conclusions. Religion teaches us to much to discuss here but one thing it teaches is to be kind to all living beings. To forgive, because God does. Intelligent humans from the beginning of time wrote down these prophecies.. I don't think we will ever call something we say a prophecy ever again lol. So I humble myself to all religions and respect people's beliefs because of those who went out of there way to bring this kind of education on how to live your life in peace. It is us who chose to use these ancient writings to divide us. But to dismiss such brilliance is a sin in itself.
Thats not god its your ego.
Welcome to humanity.
When I was in my early 20's, I had the privilege of attending his lectures...
You are very lucky.
Dang that’s sick! What year was that in?
What an unbelievable privilege!
Attending the lecture of a liar is not a privilege.
@@djparsons7363 how is he a liar
I felt and found god independently of any religion and always found it hard to make sense of the church but when i found god i can't explain it like an overwhelming sense of existence the rhythm of the universe was running through me and as i gave him thanks and lived my life with love and compassion it grew stronger and I've never read the bible the way to live and treat people was clear it felt natural and luckily i never had guilt forced on me by the church.
It's a shame you didn't find the one true religion that CORRECTLY understands the Scriptures. You won't find true teachings in ANY of Christendom's churches!
@@djparsons7363 you seriously can't be talking about Islam? Because if you are it is far true.
Now imagine feeling that same way but your god is my left nut. Would you still worship it ?
@@Ron_swanson_true_libertarianI think possibly Hindu, Buddhism or Daoism. Technically they are now religions because they are spiritual based.
Do tell sir. I had something happen to me in 2020., that was, otherworldly. Presence, infinite love.. like nothing I have ever ever experienced. Was it “ God”(?)… I thought so. Not sure anymore.
Thank you for sharing. I was raised Catholic but always questioned it’s teachings. I’ve never felt comfortable or felt like I belonged. I’ve read the Bible several times and still questioned it’s teachings. I then started reading and reading about different cultures and their beliefs. All concepts are similar yet different in different ways. I believe in a higher power of good and oneness. Blessings to all.
Sorry 😂😂😂
I’m Also Catholic and have read the Bible and I’ve questioned all things since I was very young, and again in my teens and late teens and very much in my 20’s & 30’s, and even more in my 40’s thru now in my 60’s…. I’ve found that to be a very good thing, maybe we found different answers but my experiences are on the whole it has brought me closer to Christ and with a deeper understanding of why I carry and build a stronger faith in our Lord and Savior, and with the Blessed Virgin Mary…. Today we have Medjugorje and I admit I had to question this as well and 1-2 years later I find that I also believe the messages are from heaven and The Blessed Mother and are also true.
As we have knocked on many doors and opened them is what God wants us to do, and not be a robotic tool that doesn’t think or come to him with that attitude or mindset
As we’ve heard n known “that we must have the faith of a child”, which is easy enough yet very challenging at times, and we all get dry sometimes..
I know most people then ask or say, that’s dumb or why should an adult have the Faith of a child…
Very simple, cause like the change in your pocket, there’s 2 sides, Good n Evil. And for most people it’s just natural to become syndical with age, experiences and becoming desensitized due to life. So once your weak in faith wouldn’t someone make an easier target for the evil ones to destroy that faith you known makes sense in your heart n soul ?
Again everyone one of us is different in all ways of our center and it’s decision making so we will come up with different answers and ideas and more questions
Take care and don’t loose your faith in these most wicked of days
I was raised Christian baptist and their teachings never felt right to me either. Form a young age I knew it was incorrect.
Good for you, to think for yourself. I too was raised catholic.
I’ve come to see, that organized religions, are primarily about power and wealth. (Greed).
My spirituality is in the eyes of a baby or a child’s wonder. To be in nature, surrounded by the life force. As removed as possible, from our deconstruction of life.
Though I have seen nine bears this year. It could get real.
Correct, I also felt that way. Each and every religion professes their god is the only god. So how many true gods are there? Is it like the Greek gods, one for water, one for land, another for the sky ! If there is a supreme being and maker of humanity, it's not going to be like a club of gods competing on which one gets the most love and admiration. What kind of supreme being would allow babies and children to be slaughtered as is being done right now in the middle east??
1968 , every Sunday morning Alan Watts would be played on the radio , and that was my idea of going to church .
Here it is another Sunday morning , 55 years later , today once again Alan whispers in my brain .
Love it.
Great choice for church. Alan is a great preacher.
❤
Same here- late Sunday night, played in KALW or KQED
He is teaching straight from the teachings in the Urantia book.
You must go to Church so they can collect your bread and milk money, that way they don't have to go to your house to get it.
Thank you Alex for telling the truth. It took me 50 years to remove the final scab of religion and heal the scars.
Namaste
"I was Catholic until I reached the age of reason." --George Carlin
I’m not a catholic, but I really don’t see how this is seen as a witty quote. Catholicism is extremely nuanced and thought provoking
In fact, I find that usually people who hold this opinion of the church have a very limited understanding of it
@@Pondy33 If and when one comes to the realization that Catholicism is based mainly on fear and control, one can see the appropriateness of Carlin's joke. I remember attending Mass as an 11-year-old and hearing the priest tell us that only Catholics could enter heaven. That started a lot of critical thinking on my part regarding Catholicism and religion in general. I respect your beliefs Pondy. but as a former altar boy, I have no respect for fear-based religious dogma.
Thanks for the note Pondy.
@@macbeavers6938 I really shouldn’t have said that in the first place. Ive never been to a catholic mass, so what do I know haha. But, I am a Christian and Catholicism grabs my attention. Especially when I listen to someone like Bishop Baron. I guess I should have directed my comment towards those who try to discredit Christ with that quote instead of Catholicism.
@@macbeavers6938 I’ve heard similar things that you heard in Mass on Sunday service in a southern Church of Christ
Seek and ye shall find. Knock and the door shall be opened. I've been seeking for about 6 months because I had so many questions that I was afraid to ask due to my 47 years of Christian background, and I am completely blown away by all of the information I am learning as I continue to dig. I honestly feel that I am seeking in my heart and I am being shown the truth. All of this makes so much more sense and answers many of my questions compared to the answers I get from any religous follower that have more experience than myself or any preacher both local or all those on UA-cam.
Here are a few questions I had after "trying" to get through the first 5 books of the old testament without being confused for the 2nd time (the first time I tried to read , it scared the crap out of me, I put the book down and went back into my box.) Here I am, 7 years later trying again and I feel no different than I did back then:
1.) How or why are we automatically born into sin? An innocent child coming out of the mother's womb with no sin is still considered a sinner? What makes this so?
2.) Why was God favoring a certain group of people? Aren't we all God's children? Aren't we all created by God?
3.) Why isn't the Rapture talked about in Revolations? I always thought it was, but it's not. Where did this come from?
4.) Why in the New Testiment is there so much talk about food and sacrafice? There was so many references to sacraficing animals.
5.) Why were so many people, including children murdered by God? The reasononing I heard preachers state was that God created life and it is a privlage to be alive, so he can do what he wants. Those children would have turned out to be awful, murdering, and corrupt people, so he did a good thing. I find this hard to believe. There is so much corruption now, so what's going on with that? Why aren't the current corrupt being destroyed by God now?
6.) God spoke so much of being fruitful and multiplying yet suddenly we are to spend our entire life with one person, yet so many men had several wives. Most all men back then and even now can't go an entire day without thinking of sex at least once per day. If the purpose of sex is to pro-create bringing children into the world, why did God allow sex to feel so good? Why is an orgasim one of the best feelings a person can experience? Some may say that it's the devil making us feel like that, but I say it's a sensation that was given by God in our body and the devil had nothing to do with that feeling. They may also say that people wouldn't pro-create as much to populate if it didn't feel good, but most have this desire to start a family at some point in their lives and would do it regardless of the feeling in order to start a family. I don't like to work because it doesn't really make me feel good, but working gives me something I want (money), so I do it regardless, however sex feels so good and is a beautiful experience, so why is it looked upon as a sin if you aren't in a union with someone? Why would even thinking about a person sexually be considered audultry? Everyone for the most part has felt this way about someone else at some point in their life. Is this something created by the Romans to make us feel guilt and shame?
I could go on and on with the questions, but my main questions that lead me down this road was "How do I pray properly" because so many of my prayers go unanswered. This is when I learned about the lost gospels that weren't accepted in to the biblical cannon. The others were "How was the bible created?" and "When was the bible first distributed?".
When I realized that the Romans were the main people that "decided" on the scripters permitted, I was super confused and unsure of so much. The Romans were violent dictators. They killed for sport. They were huge sinners and did un-Godly things, yet Constantine decided he wanted to be a Christian so everything changed after that??? Hell, the first thing I think of when I hear the words Roman Catholic Priest is "child molester". How many have gone to prison for this? Many....how many Christian leaders have turned out to be scam artists, rapists, and sexual molesters?
During my search on the history of the bilble, I learned about many other texts that were not accepted and wondered....why??? I wondered if any of these texts could have been edited, altered, or changed. Many may say, "of course not"., but I say "what if?"....is it possible??? Yes! This is likely why there are thousands of different denominations in Christainity. Why so many? Are we that far apart on what is right or wrong? I am now at the point where I just love Jesus and I love God as the creator. I believe that Jesus was awake and understood God and creation and was a messenger and taught us how to be in oneness with God and the way we should live and try to be, but I believe God is loving and wasn't as harsh as the old testiment says and is accepting of most all people. I don't know what will happen to the corrupt and evil people, but I feel I only need to keep myself happy, strive to be a good person, take care of my family, be fair, and most importantly, to LOVE all. I am so confused on this because I do attend church and I feel as though I don't belong and I don't want to raise my children in a belief that could be false as I believe I was through my family. I feel now like I did when my parents told me Santa wasn't real. I feel betrayed but I still have faith that God is everywhere and in all of us. Maybe I'm just crazy, but I have a feeling that when I die, I will still go up to be with God because God loves all of us more than we realize and God wants us to do the same. I feel it's really just that simple. Great video by the way!
You're not alone 🙏🏾
Read the bible word by word you'll find the answer, I would say for doughter s read sowers of seed.
The same path that I got on, thanks God am free of all that nonsense
Reading, studying, & questioning the Bible is how most of us become atheists. It's the Christians who never bother reading their own book.
@@pauls7255reading the Bible only gives you the answers the Catholic Church wants to give you. They interpreted, edited and even discarded documents they didn't agree with or felt was too much knowledge for those they consider too lowly or unworthy to learn.
I dare say, you would be shocked if you knew the things being stored in the lower levels of the Vatican in Rome!
Greetings! I'm a septuagenarian who was raised in a secular household and encouraged to simply look around and study and make up my own mind about religion, and I did. I was a pilot in Vietnam and got shot down and stood in a rice paddy with bullets hitting the water around me and simply hoped they would miss. I've always considered all religions to be the product of fear of death and they belong somewhere between silliness and superstition. Best of luck to all of us and thanks for sharing the video!
Glad you nade it home. TY.

I have watched two videos today, one of the belief of the agnostic and two of this. I stop and thought in deeper and authentic entirety... my third eye has opened and I finally have had a spiritual awakening of my one self, realizing... I finally found the answer I've been searching for my 39 years of my current life... I'm finally at peace.
This message is being given by more & more speakers these days. It is a major time of humanity's awakening.
Yes this is the message of the Antichrist which men’s sinful nature desire to follow. Wake up and accept Jesus Christ, he’s soon coming.

How many INNOCENT EGYPTIAN CHILDREN AND BABIES did your God murder? Exodus 12:29.
You pray to a MURDERER.
Raised a Christian all my life, forced into it since I was a baby, never really fully believed and didn’t know why. I tried to lie to myself I did but I couldn’t. I felt it was all about control, fear, and guilt rather than love, compassion, no judgmental. It’s hard to shake off but I feel closer to God (the source) now more than ever. I’m still growing spiritually (just started a months ago) but I feel more calm and at peace
May i know what's make you to shake off? Your comment literally describes me myself but in the middle both of us went to the opposite path. Would be great if you can say how old you are. I am 30. Sorry for my curiosity
I’m 35, what helped me shake it off was realizing that I was holding on to others beliefs not mine, once I let go, I felt free, and the guilt, shame, and fear of going to “hell” or God punishing me for being me (how I was created). But what really helped was watching countless of Near death Experiences (90% said the exact same thing)

@@PathtoYahawah Nonsense, and stupid.
@@PathtoYahawah like what?
@@navigatorx1013 what do you mean like what? Jesus says he is here for the lost sheep of Israel. You guys come along and change it, Jesus is described by his cousin John as having negro features you Guys come along and change his image to Caucasian features and make GOD that as well. Salvation is only promised to Israel you say it's for everyone. All those actions are against GOD and Jesus! Clear enough for you?
Truer words not ever spoken.
I couldn't agree more with him when he states that Jesus said that WE would be capable of as good if not better works because we all carry the light of God within us.
May the Universe carry Alan Watts and every other Human who have spoken the rational truth.
And so I have had this as my own private understanding since a young age. I was just saying it to my husband this morning. Thank you for how well you have explained it.
I'll go to meet my Maker and believe that Jesus Christ is my Saviour. You know now if my faith or yours is right. Sad that in an evil world Alan Watts decried the Lord Jesus. Davy Flett ( a drunken wretch through life,) Jesus is my Lord . His Holy Spirit is with me daily. I'm not a god I'm but a wretch. We'll all soon be in death. I'll trust in my Lord Jesus as the thief on the cross did.
@@davidflett8107 not trying to be rude but how important do you think you are? that you really believe that? it is kind of ridiclious that in our date and time and understanding of the world, people actually still believe that they are so "special" and some entity out there cares for them even if there is, why would it care?
and whats even more funny to me that all religions are obviously written by men, just think about our primitive ways of living "eating, sleeping, reproducing" are literally all these religions talk about, in the so called after life. If it helps you feel better about yourself thats fine but I think people should accept they are in a temporary hull for the universe to experience itself.
@am-mt6ml No. God does exist and, just like us, He loves His creations. Don't let anyone fool you. Listen to no man unless he speaks the truth.
@@am-mt6ml So what do you believe in?
As for me and my household we will put our faith love and hope in the RISEN CHRIST 🙏 THE GREASTEST OF THESE IS LOVE 🙏 AMEN 🙏

I started my life as a subject of religion by birth. I was sent to attend Methodist Chapel then became a Choir Boy in the CofE Church, then to become an 'Altar Boy' before joining the Military at 16.

Boy oh boy does this describe how I see the bible. I had an unexpected and accidental enlightenment experience. I saw that what I thought I was, I had never been. There’s something bigger out there, and we’re all one with it. It can be described by, but not contained by any religion. I believe Jesus must have felt it constantly, and just wanted to show us how to experience it.
The something bigger out there is just reality, and yes we are all real. It is certainly a "spiritual" experience, but does not require any religion at all.

Repent To Jesus Christ And Be Forgiven Of Sins
When I realized the size and scope of our universe, it hit me how insignificant I really am. I try to imagine how massive beyond our scope the universe is, then close my eyes and make a celestial trip that overwhelms me. I can hover. I can fly. I can look down and see the landscapes below me. It only takes me a moment to get to space.....
When I first heard words like this, I dismissed it instantly. Thanks to people like Alan Watts and also MPH
When my awakening happened the only context I knew was through the religious one I was raised. But i always felt the creator was so much more than that. That was 26 years ago and Ive spent that whole time trying to figure it out. This video allowed me to feel that I'm not crazy and that my view of the creator is unique to me. And more importantly, it can be experienced without guilt, if your search is true. Thank you for this video.

Alan watts you are wrong bro now I'm not saying that you are totally wrong with the Catholics adopting the idea of Christianity but the real truth is the devil has them to take it partially over to corrupt the masses to mislead the youth and the general people of the public becuz if you have that UA-cam caption that reads that they made it all up then you are also mainly saying that they made up the whole existence of Jesus Christ and if you deny Jesus you are basically denying the the creator God which is Jesus father .and you are also denying the events that lead up to Jesus being born into a manger.becuz look at it like this from my perspective I'm talking about God the creator having the ability from simple train of thought in the back of Gods mind to think of Jesus being born into Marys womb and it can to be this is why in the bible God has rested the seventh day the bible says .so if God has this type of power to create his son in the virgin Mary then God is infinite he is inside of everything every living thing the trees he is embedded into the core of our DNA so to deny Jesus is to deny God himself .God is an extension of our selves.now I'm not saying that the Catholicsl churches didn't try and take over Christianity but some of Catholic people also have been misguided by the devil and all and what I mean by that is the devil can manipulate and deceive the people of the public .becuz he doesn't want the real truth to get out about the real holy bible .me Alan watts I'm going to ask you this very one question if that story is all made up then why would the virgin Mary lie about her pregnancy being born with jesus.when the UA-cam content creator had wrote a caption that says: and I quote they made it all up .well if they have made it all up then the very existence of God the creator is also none existing and the big bang theory also never happen too as well .everything around you is created by no other then God.and time was ideally already though of and created by God the creator himself .to me in my opinion time and motion is the same thing that's just my opinion becuz we cannot see the wind but we know that the wind is there .and again we can't see God the creator but we know he is there .and sometimes the devil's people makes false doctrines to also throw off the people of the general public.thst is basically what u are saying in your caption or the UA-camr is saying in the caption inside of the UA-cam video they made it all up .the devil is mainly using the media when u break down the word m-e-d-i-a take that word and apply it to another word of the same origin m-e-d-i-t-a-t-e,just like the word m-e-t-a -v-e-r-se everything within the confinement spaces of the origin of those words has the same similarity of that word.and marker Zucker burge is the one who created the metaverse and he is the CEO of Facebook and all.let that sink in.
I love Alan Watts so much. He’s one of the brightest lights to illuminate us in some time. I’m forever grateful for his work.
Been reading him from 1974. Taken in as a late teen. Realised he rants a load of sloppy thinking when I know about his subject so I came to assume he dies the same with stuff I don't know about. Fwiw, I now live close to where he was brought up in Chislehurst
@@cuebj Souls know it:
Christianity is reality, not a religion. We place Christianity among the religions, ain`t we get "Catholic religion"? We place Christianity among the religions, we then give it to an satanic origin. - Why on earth we would do that? Christianity - a religion? - so saving from hell fire ain´t taking place for real? Christianity - a religion? - souls going to hell, to pay for their own sins, ain´t taking place in real? Souls, who see Christianity as religion, feel free to explain. For i see CLEAR REALITY and not a religion.
There is choosing between 2 masters, GOD OR MAMMON? - whom we will serve?
Truth or lies?
Reality or religions?
LIFE or DEATH?
Deuteronomy 30:19
I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
Joshua 24:15
And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
Explains well in layman's terms. His powerful message and explainations are given to us in subtle ways. One of the best.
And he will be so until you reach that place

"Open up", too, please, if you can, or must, about irreligion, especially about irreligion that would pose as religion for the purpose of displacing religion as a goal of civilization!
In the ranks of the planet's scientists today, there are no ... nescientists, eternally benighted souls attached to an atheistic theory, or atheistic philosophy, that would pose as the Absolute Truth?
or as the ... Fountainhead of all that Be?
No longer a nation "Under God" are we?
If not, under what, if anything, is this Nation under?

thank you so much for posting this, you've gotta love that Alan Watts, telling us what's what -- I love the message he's speaking in this video, totally agree
It took me 50 years to learn the truth about life, me, and ultimately our creator. I feel a sense of calm and ease now with all that i've gained from meditation and yoga. There is reason for any of us to suffer, we can heal ourselves and will what we want into existence. We are created by the most powerful force and that makes every one of us Gods.

"It's why I don't animals myself" is not a complete sentence or thought.
Can you show me where in the BIBLE that is written? If that is the case why are Christian Caucasians still holding land that belongs to others when GOD says thou shall not steal? Have any of you atoned for the iniquities of your father?
Including your own...

Alan Watts is by far one of the best spiritual teacher. Especially because he advocates for people to look from within

Ruach Ha-Kodesh is given to the leader who intends to join us, to clear boundaries which will allow the least of us to be set apart and invited to pass through a doorway into a place where God will identify Himself to us.
This leader first appears in Genesis Chapter 1 verse 2.
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.
And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
This leader, here called the Spirit of God, is literally (the wind of God or the breath of God) and was instrumental in the creation account.
In the ancient world soul and spirit are both frequently denoted by wind or breath and we can see that this Spirit was indeed God
The Bible says there was a sound like wind.
Suddenly a SOUND like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.
ESV, KJV, NLT-refer to the SOUND that accompanied the Spirit🎵
Scripture tells us the noise of the Spirit was so loud that people outside the Upper Room heard it, too. A SOUND of Violence Roaring, with
“A Rushing, Mighty Wind.”
But when they arrived they found no tables blown over, no destruction-only the disciples, carried on the inner wind of God

22 And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.

Revelation 9:11,
Abaddon many equate this angel to an agent of Satan, The Interpreter’s Bible says:
“Abaddon, is an angel not of Satan but of God, performing his work of destruction at God’s bidding.”
Revelation 1:18
Christ Jesus states:
“I am living forever and ever, and I have the keys of death and of Hades.”
Christ’s power to destroy, including the destruction of Satan, is shown in
Hebrews 2:14,
which says;
“through his death he might bring to nothing the one having the means to cause death, that is, the Devil.”
he is clearly identified as God’s appointed Destroyer, Executioner.

Moreover, he treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty.

“I am the true grapevine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch of mine that doesn’t produce fruit, and he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more. You have already been pruned and purified by the message I have given you. Remain in me, and I will remain in you. For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful unless you remain in me. “Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing. Anyone who does not remain in me is thrown away like a useless branch and withers. Such branches are gathered into a pile to be burned. But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted! When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples. This brings great glory to my Father. “I have loved you even as the Father has loved me. Remain in my love. When you obey my commandments, you remain in my love, just as I obey my Father’s commandments and remain in his love. I have told you these things so that you will be filled with my joy. Yes, your joy will overflow! This is my commandment: Love each other in the same way I have loved you. There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. I no longer call you slaves, because a master doesn’t confide in his slaves. Now you are my friends, since I have told you everything the Father told me. You didn’t choose me. I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my name. This is my command: Love each other.”

If we werent able to capture his voice and essence in his lifetime....itd all be a blind crapshoot for me. Have such a deep love & resonance w/ this voice. AW saves me. About every other day
This is very informative video, I am thankful to you for sharing. I always have similar thoughts about religion.
Living in lack, guilt and feeling unworthy can never make anyone feel great and bring abundance and joy. It's a shame for all of humanity that the great lie still being taught.
Spot on❤
It’s just unproductive
Yes, living in lack, guilt and feeling unworthy doesn’t bring joy. That’s why God sent his son to die and rise again, to provide a way out of that situation, so we can have new life and joy.
It is more beneficial than you can ever imagine. You can't imagine it helping because you refuse to hold yourself up to God's standard. I feel the guilt of not being good enough to reach His standard, but I feel the responsibility of trying to reach it anyway. I don't shy away from something because it is difficult like other people do. I don't pursue what is easy, I pursue what is worthy. Until you start staring into the abyss and recognizing your own failings, you'll never understand just how much it helps.
You’re wrong. These things are often used for sanctification
•Lack teaches a dependence on God
•Guilt leads to repentance
•Feeling unworthy keeps one humble
If you’re not saved, you won’t understand
There are two kinds of people -
1 - Those who want to get to the truth no matter what
2- Those who are content with lies as long as it comforts them
Truth hurts, your beliefs your mindset which was never yours! It was all information coming/passed through years & years. So what is truth?
The trick is weeding through bias, both yours & others.
Trumpers comfortably fit into the second category.
Cognitive dissonance is real
#2 is the zeitgeist..the 99.9%
Its all apart of the test, when one is ready they will start to contemplate,to go within themselves rather than without an to the likings of a book ,this is when the inner knowings of things will come back to us ❤
sad thing is most think are final test will end in war.........i dont not we will pass a test at our lowest point to transend they need to see that
Duh!
Watching this in a church bathroom hits different
I choose to read text and stories that teach me to live a good life. I choose to narrow it down and calling that path believing in God if we had to name it something so that others would understand it in language form. I believe there are people who use these teaching and stories for good, others for bad. No matter what happens or who hurts you, never let anyone stop you from continuing down the good path no matter what they or you choose to name your beliefs or where you may find your peace. I also don’t blame an entire group for those evil ones that corrupt and sin. We are simply to be the change we want to see in the world one person, one choice, one word, and one foot in front of the other, at a time. May God bless you. -Love, Eloy
So many people who have had near death experiences come back with this exact same message.
I don't think so. I've heard people talk about different religious experiences, people saying they saw aliens, there are so many variations of what people see from what I have read. The truth is, they are not dead, their mind is making this stuff up, just like when you dream. Near death, is not death. Nobody knows what is after death if anything at all, because nobody on this earth has ever physically died, like clinically brain dead and come back, because it impossible.
Early Christians, after John wrote Revelation (into the second century AD), were not Catholic but attached still to what First century AD Christians (Jesus' followers and disciples) taught and believed. The straying had begun then, but not all strayed. Those who strayed became Catholics, those who apposed the straying slowly faded overall, even though some withstood the test of time at least according to their times. Catholics' attachment to Peter as a claim for an inheritance is unfounded in Gods word (more on this when anyone responds). And yes, God has USED people of the world to have his word or prophesies fulfilled, and those early "Catholics" were used in the same way. The Dead Sea Scrolls gave new light to True Christianity as Gods name was re-introduced into Gods word as it was suppose to: Gods name was never ever meant to have been replaced with "LORD" or just God in many places. The Dead Sea Scrolls gave better light to the Christian Scriptures as Jesus and some apostles quoted from the Hebrew Scriptures where Gods name is found so "LORD" and "God" and such titles have bee correctly replaced with Jehovah. Jesus is by far and away not like any other man mentioned in any other religious or spiritual book ever written. God did not send his only begotten son, the second most powerful and holy being in the universe, to be spat on, mocked, humiliated, imprisoned, beaten, tortured and killed, just so that it would be okay for everyone to have their own way of thinking spiritually. That is not how it works. God is a God of order and his word, The Bible, has been proved true and accurate time after time and again: only those who want and wish to do their own thing will believe what this shameless and uneducated video said. "The Great Tribulation" will without fail come soon enough, just take a look around the shameless and unholy world, Gods word comes to fulfillment every day. The time is short, as spoken in Revelation 12:7-12, but you still have time to beg God to help you find his True people before the end. I chose to live on a paradise Earth for ever and ever, as guaranteed by God himself--a paradise Earth everlasting.

And Muslims who experience NDEs see Allah, Hindus see Brahma, and so on.
Does it seem coincidental to you that everyone all over the world experiencing NDEs all see the visions of their varying cultures and/or religions??
Not quite. Most are incredibly different but yes, many "come back" with the message of conveying we are all okay and don't need to repent and believe or believe in God's Son. Satan's message. Another reason many non-believers would rather believe in extraterrestrials as it requires nothing of them in regard to faith and Godly living.

I always got a funny feeling at church when certain things were said. I felt it deep within me that something was off. It was unsettling. My animal instinct didn’t jive with it. (Just some info for you all) to this day I don’t know what to think of it because life is so chaotic. Thinking straight has proven to be a challenge. I try my best to concentrate on the present moment. (So far, I think that’s where the answers hide) which answers… I don’t even know. Something is going on. I do know that.

Thank you ❤ for posting this. Alan Watts is a master. I have recently experienced what he just described. In my early age, I was Catholic, then in my teens a born again Christian. I’ve gone through so much pain and suffering (health related) and have this tremendous curiosity of life, of it’s purpose and if there is a creator. 6 years ago I saw a sign about meditation at a cancer center at a clinic. That journey led me to science and eastern philosophy (Buddhism, Psychology, Evolutionary Psychology Neuroscience, Hindu, Daoism, Confucianism)). That’s where I ran into books by Alan Watts, Robert Wright and others. Videos like this are amazing. I have started to see without the lenses or tint of my human nature. I can see clearly like never before. I Can see what ppl call imperfections but now. I Can see the fleeting nature of feelings and understand why they arise. I Can identify the inner chatter in mind and recognize it’s not me but my Default Mode Network (part of the brain that plans, left hemisphere). Despite my health issues, I accept them as part of this beautiful and miraculous life. And its only the beginning. I know I sound crazy but I can see and definitely experience what Alan Watts is describing. I wish with all my heart you all do as well. I wish you all my success, health, love and no suffering. 🙏🏻 I’ll be sharing this wonderful video with others.
This is a dangerous video to share. There's a lot of misinformation. If he's a master of anything it's deception
Jesus is Lord. Jesus is God and the King of Kings
A great channel to watch is Melissa Doughterty. She used to be into new age and things probably similar to what Alan taught, but she realized how wrong it is. I hope you come back to the LORD and see His Truth and Peace again. Stay blessed †

@connorpayne2671, the ones who make you think that only your religion can free the human spirit, like "Jesus is the only way"... The way to where? Leading to what? These are the chains. Christians believe that the human spirit is somewhat sinful and needs to follow Jesus to become free from sin. True freedom would be to say: there's no sin. Therefore, there's no condemnation and no specific path. All paths are possible.
Wow how neat 👏 now I truly understand.

The fact that Alan Watts died being an alcoholic, has always disturbed me, how could somebody so poetic have such a loose grip on reality, but able to describe it so beautifully.
Right? So learned yet so pickled

What does being an alcoholic have to do with grip on reality?
@@methanial73 It has a lot to do with it. Being an alcoholic loosens your grip on reality, specifically, which is why it is so disturbing to me. It's almost like he was so in his head that it tormented him to drink to slow down his mind, this is a common thing with addicts in general.

I’m grateful to have understood this from a very young age. For all her faults, my mother managed to teach me the truth of this, and I took up the task to learn more about it. As a musician, I started performing for all kinds of churches, learning their procedures & most of their various teachings. This is why I am of all religions & none of them, and perfectly comfortable worshipping anywhere, with anyone, regardless of their beliefs. If there is an humanistic religion, surely I practice a credible version of it.

@@janet4232 Ho hum
WRONG. Early Christians, after John wrote Revelation (into the second century AD), were not Catholic but attached still to what First century AD Christians (Jesus' followers and disciples) taught and believed. The straying had begun then, but not all strayed. Those who strayed became Catholics, those who apposed the straying slowly faded overall, even though some withstood the test of time at least according to their times. Catholics' attachment to Peter as a claim for an inheritance is unfounded in Gods word (more on this when anyone responds). And yes, God has USED people of the world to have his word or prophesies fulfilled, and those early "Catholics" were used in the same way. The Dead Sea Scrolls gave new light to True Christianity as Gods name was re-introduced into Gods word as it was suppose to: Gods name was never ever meant to have been replaced with "LORD" or just God in many places. The Dead Sea Scrolls gave better light to the Christian Scriptures as Jesus and some apostles quoted from the Hebrew Scriptures where Gods name is found so "LORD" and "God" and such titles have bee correctly replaced with Jehovah. Jesus is by far and away not like any other man mentioned in any other religious or spiritual book ever written.

Although your post violates the First Principle of Contradiction, I really like your moniker! : )
@@patriotsru.s.2642 Ah, the first principle of contradiction. Kinda like the bible.
God is inside all of us, and we are part of a collective spirit
Religion was created by royalty in ancient babylonia to convince us they should rule over us and we have to serve them fact
deistic gods are useless
Evidence??? If you pray for something to happen with all your heart but nothing happens, that is contra evidence. Therefore, your god does not exist.
In Catholic theology, the concept of personhood is intricately tied to the understanding of the Trinity, where God exists as one essence in three distinct persons: the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit. This divine unity underscores the relational nature of personhood, emphasizing the interconnectedness and mutual dependence within the Godhead. When individuals open themselves to Jesus, they not only enter into a transformative relationship with Him but also embrace a broader connection with everyone else in relationship with Jesus. This inclusive love mirrors the expansive nature of God's love, which extends to all humanity.
This relational understanding extends to the concept of eternal life. In the Christian faith, eternal life is not merely a continuation of existence after death but rather a dynamic communion with God and others. It is a state of perfect union and intimacy with the Triune God and the entire community of believers. This eternal communion transcends time and space, offering a vision of everlasting joy, peace, and fulfillment in the presence of God. Thus, embracing the relational aspect of personhood opens the door to a profound understanding of eternal life as a boundless journey of love and communion.
After you die where your spirit shit goes HELL or HEAVEN .
I also had the same option. I am a Hindu, but as Alan says Hindus don't consider Vedas written by God. Hindu does not believe in The God. Instead Hindu consider everyone and everything as God or divine. The issue is that it is hard to realise this. For Hindu the ultimate wish is to realise this and become like Christ and this is called enlightenment.

Clear, concise and to the point, what a great speaker he is. I rejected all man made religions a few years ago, after looking at the "nativity" of Jesus story and seeing the flaws and holes in it. I believe if there is an afterlife, it is not the heaven or hell of these man made religions.
What was once deemed blasphemy, that each of us are god, may just be the only thing that saves us in the end.
Alan Watts has changed my life, and so much more for the better.

Everything we knew about religion is a lie. God is not someone in the sky but in us and we can create like god. Everything about this world is a lie as well. This physical world isn't real, the moon landing was faked because we are probably trapped on it. Just believe the opposite of what they tell us lol. The Matrix was a documentary not just a movie.
Hahaha, this clown died a miserable drunk.
Then why do the masses treat the elites as gods? Even if we all see ourselves as gods, many will see themselves higher gods than others and still there will be no gold standard of morality.
Correct as a Rosicrucian.
I found a Bible on the road side many years ago. Read Psalms 37. Put bible away for some time.Took God at his word and to this day God through Jesus Christ has kept his word to me . What interested me God gave me choice to follow. It's simple yet a relationship with God
Jesus had nothing to do with it. God needs no one but himself to give you insight to his greatness. Jesus works be appalled at the pedestal he had been placed on.
I refuse to praise and give money to someone who bones i cant find and noone else can. I recognize energy of the dark and light which matches days.
At the tender age of 13, a member of a 'Christian' youth organisation, a frequent church-goer and Sunday school pupil who earnestly listened to sermons, sang hymns and read The Bible, I woke up to the fact that so-called 'Christians' were trying to convince me that I should feel guilty because I had been born a sinner. I realised how nonsensical that was, turned my back on institutionalised 'Christianity', never to return, and embarked on my journey into atheism. It has been wonderfully liberating.
Yep. It's a low self esteem religion. You have to be convinced you are damaged goods. From birth! How wacky is that?
I'm not saying this to hurt you or to offend you in any way. We were all born innocent, our unknowing sins as children were cast onto our parents. But there is not one person except Jesus who has never commited a sin. The people who told you that you should feel guilty have themselves sinned. Atheism may feel liberating but that liberation will end when God returns and all who dont believe are punished. There are only 2 sides, Gods side and the Devils side. If your not on Gods side then your on the Devils side. The Devil does not care about you. He created sin, he is the reason the world is like this today. And saying your an Athiest means your on his side. I urge you please to talk to a Pastor before its too late. In time you will learn to find comfort in God just like you found comfort in him as a child.
@@Aptart *But there is not one person except Jesus who has never commited a sin* Jesus broke at least 2 commandments, so you might want to retract that statement. *our unknowing sins as children were cast onto our parents* That isn't fair. *but that liberation will end when God returns* Jesus already missed his first reappearance - Matthew 16:28. I wouldn't be holding my breath for another curtain call. *The Devil does not care about you. He created sin* No, god created sin. Isaiah 45:7 *aying your an Athiest means your on his side* Just because someone is an atheist doesn't automatically make them evil. If your religion teaches that, your religion is evil and you need to reconsider being a member.
@@benjalucian1515 I appreciate you replying to me. Although I am only a child, I am still trying to help people who need to be helped.
Jesus is the son of God, he was made holy, he lived a holy and innocent life. He spent his entire life saving other lives and was completely devoted to God.
You said it isnt fair for a childs sins to be cast onto their parents. Then is it better for the child to be punished? Parents must raise their children to reject sin and turn to God. Many people are only conscious at the age of 5, (Not saying everyone is, just saying some people) would you want a 5 year old or a 12 year old being held accountable for lying or stealing an object?
Matthew 16:28 says, "For the Son of Man is going to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay each person according to what he has done. Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom." This means that Jesus is talking about the second coming which is also what I was talking about. Jesus will come with an army of angels to destroy sin for eternity. Each man or woman who commited a sin and did not repent will be destroyed with the Devil.
Yes the Lord did create sin, but he created us to not follow in the sinful ways. He created us to be holy. However the Devil tempted Eve with sin causeing her to eat the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil. Giving humans knowledge they werent supposed to have this also gave humans somehting called, free will. Free will means we have a choice on whether we want to follow God or not. Meaning our once pure soul can now be inhabited by said sin.
I never said being athiest was evil. I said it was against God.The Devil is the evil one. Atheism may feel good but you cannot be Atheist and be truly free. After some time you will be tempted by the Devil and you will have nobody to turn to because of your disbelief in God. Ofc God will be there trying to guide you but you will ignore it. The comment I typed before wasnt an attack on you neither was it a claim that you were "evil" It was simply the pure raw truth. I hope this can clarify what I said before in it wasnt efficient enough.
@@Aptart *Jesus is the son of God* Well, that is your belief. Not everyone believes that. In fact most people don't. *You said it isnt fair for a childs sins to be cast onto their parents. Then is it better for the child to be punished* Depends on the sin, and how old the child is, doesn't it? If the child is 4 years old and lashes out or steals, then yes, they should be punished. Why should the parent be responsible for that?
*This means that Jesus is talking about the second coming which is also what I was talking about* You missed the important part where he said _Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom_ Those men are long dead and he did not return with his kingdom.
*Yes the Lord did create sin* So, the blame goes to him. He could have created everything without evil or sin, but he didn't. The fact that he did means the blame falls on him. He can't both create evil and flawed beings, then blame them for taking part in the sin. *However the Devil tempted Eve* Nowhere in Genesis does it say the serpent was the Devil. *with sin causeing her to eat the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil* So if she didn't know what good and evil was _before_ eating the fruit, why is she blamed? She didn't even know what bad was until _after_ she ate the fruit.
*Free will means we have a choice on whether we want to follow God or not* And it also means if we do not choose to follow god _there is nothing he can do about it_ He can't punish us. THAT would be free will. The fact that the bible says he will torture us forever in hell if we don't follow him, isn't free will. That's called coercion. *I never said being athiest was evil* You said it aligned them with the Devil. No, it doesn't.
*but you cannot be Atheist and be truly free* Sure you can. If we have "free will" then yes, we do. You can't have it both ways.
You're young. Meditate on what I said, you'll see how your lack of life experience and critical thinking skills at your age is leading you parrot church teachings instead of thinking each teaching all the way through and finding the holes in them..
I read Alan Watts in college and he greatly influenced me along with Bertrand Russell !
Alan Watts, the maestro of Eastern philosophy and the art of living, reminds us that life is not a problem to be solved, but a mystery to be embraced. His profound teachings invite us to let go of our rigid perceptions, dive into the depths of existence, and dance with the ever-changing rhythms of the universe. Through his wisdom, we find liberation in accepting the impermanence of life and discovering the beauty in every moment. Thank you, Alan Watts, for guiding us towards a deeper understanding of ourselves and the interconnectedness of all things.
I love one of Alan's description of living in the moment. You can't take the waterfall home in a bucket.
Of COURSE there are problems in this world that NEED to be solved. Dancing w/ the universe is not the solution. Jesus's life & teachings are, & his presence is. All people are interconnected, but it's not people or the rocks or trees that save people from themselves. Mankind very much needs saving from itself. As Jesus said that God would do, God sends the Holy Spirit of Truth in Jesus's name & as Jesus said, the Holy Spirit is a teacher. The Holy Spirit is very real & is *Amazing.* I have much direct experience w/ the Holy Spirit. People don't know what they're missing & what it's supposed to be like on Earth. God sends The Holy Spirit to those who truly repent of sin, ask God's forgiveness, & accept Jesus as Lord & savior. Many people who consider themselves to be followers of Jesus actually don't understand him & aren't following him. I feel sorry for anyone who has no idea that they have a soul & that it's the most important thing they'll ever have & that the most important question in life is where your soul will go after life on Earth. Do yourself a favor & read a red-letter, modern-language New Testament w/ Jesus's words in red. Focus on Jesus. Not on what a student or apostle of his taught. Focus on Jesus. People who are dismissive of him make a huge mistake & don't know what they're missing out on.
Why is that profound?
Yes. Alan Watts set me on the path.
He was truly one of the greatest philosophers of all time.
A true intellectual and he was also wonderful Buddhist. 🙏🏼❤️
Always love some Alan Watts.😊
I almost scrolled by. Intelligent conversation. Thumbs 👍
Shared with several loved ones. I have often wondered who would 'save Jesus' from the distortions of his alleged followers' beliefs about him. It seems this fella had done.
I know Alan W has for decades been a star in spiritual philosophy, but he was never on my radar screen, so many many thanks for this, lovely Dorothy.
He died an alcoholic. He was more attuned to his own inner life and more unhappy because of it. You should do some research about Alan Watt and how he lived his life without finding God.
@@Success1-xc4by I have not done research into A. Watts since seeing, hearing this video. I'm not enough interested in a narrative about him, positive or negative. I recognized the views expressed here as valuable. Period. I am not looking for a guru.
It would be a mistake to assume that one who takes Jesus at his word, "The Father is greater than I," has not recognized the reality, existence and goodness, of our Creator, God.
Too many people have, IMO, deleted the Christ's teachings and example from their minds and lives. They substitute worship of him, idolatry, rather than living in the example of his loyalty to God and truth or in following his way of integrity, whatever the consequences.
It is easier to say, "Jesus died for my sins," than to "Seek ye the truth," much less to live it.
A man, Mr. Watts specifically if your summary of his end is true...and I have no reason to doubt that, can be right in some things, while very wrong in others.
The reason I had never looked him up, before or since, is that I was awate that he was something of a "spiritual", or perhaps more accurately "philosophical", rock star and he frankly struck me as full of himself in any brief audio/visual encounters/writings that I'd stepped away from. Until the above.
What he said here, although I agree with it, has not made me a disciple or even a fan.
Consider that honest people can speak falsehoods unknowingly, holdng unrecognized false beliefs. Fools or charlatans can also speak a portion of truth, with or without intention.
He is not what counts. True words are.
I agree with you, if you mean to imply that self-absorption is a dangerous road.
I do think, from the little I have encountered his work, that he was self-absorbed.
If the inner reality was all that mattered, there would be no need for others, society, or even creation. One's intuitions need to be checked against what is observed. In ambiguous cases, surely Spirit, God, must be asked for wisdom and clarity.
To make any specific man or prophet into one's God is idolatry. But to regard one's own insights as one's highest reference, one's God, is also. If he did that, it was in error. No wonder he was not satisfied by it.
Our souls/human spirits are indeed specific aspects of God. A part is not the whole. We are not God. We are not complete in ourselves. And because God created us of Himself, we are also precious to God, and no good thing remains lost forever.
God is wills to share his nature with us, and to reveal Himself to the extent that we can absorb divine nature. We need each other and our Creator.
It is also true that we are engaged here in a 'trial and error" process of discovering truth.
I wouldn't hold Mr. Watts' diminishment and unfortunate death against him. It goes with the territory of living as a limited, sometimes mistaken, human being. I assume that he did his best as he understood life.
Although not my cup of tea, he probably inspired many people to look within for the first time. It's too bad if he thought that was the whole ball of wax.
In the movie, Groundhog Day, the main character begins, with some reason, to believe that he may actually be God. He is only brought back to reality when he cannot save the life of an old man.
Maybe, next life, Mr. Watts sees it all. Or maybe he already does, and he has served his purpose on Earth by his work and teachings.
Despite having a blind side, for those who can separate content from personality, and who are drawn to him without hero worship aspects, he may present needed signposts.
Thanks for your comment. Yes. The whole ball of wax IS God. It is His creation. Just give us credit, we are the parts of God that He sent to serve in the trenches, and often on a very limited 'need to know' basis.
There is a reason for all of it. Truth, indeed love, can only prove to be superior and divine when challenged. Earth challenges. And in us, the one God creates individuals of His own being.

💯 % True !!!!! But the majority of human beings don’t accept this truth and they will wait for 2000 years more for their ‘savior’ , don’t realizing that they can save themself . Jesus showed us what is possible , Jesus showed us who we are but they didn’t get him 😢

its ok, when they die, they will realize this :)

You don't need an outside agency. You are it!
Your own works will never save you. You are not God but a human being created by God.

I've tried to explain this very "interpretation" for at least a decade. Watts makes it seem so easy. 💖
I always seem to find too late that he's already done what took me so long to figure out on my own 😅

tarot, psychic, fortune telling, third eye, crystals, mediation all witchcraft from the devil go look it up and see how many people we're delivered by God.
Lonely is a possible interpretation we can choose. So is a fully empowering and fulfilling direct relationship with the nondualistic 'divine'. We, no matter what you choose to believe, add the significance and context we 'come from'.
The 'love of God' is within. "I am the Word".

Yeshua's message and truth has been corrupted by the church I can see that clearly now. We are all children of God and all have the capacity to do the things zyeshua did and from his own words greater things than I will you do. Amen.
I rejected religion very early, like at 10. But my mind still kept questioning. at 19-20 I tried LSD, and psychedelics, and that led me to question even more. I'm 29 now, and have slowly began to realize that no one knows anything. I began demystifying the way I thought about psychedelics and life. The way I used to think about spirituality, and the way many do is all just cope. You don't need anything outside of yourself, and the present moment. Only you can "save" yourself. Life is what you make it.
When you die, what happens? If there is heaven and hell and you don't believe in Jesus...
As an omnist, I appreciate this information 🙏🏽
What a fabulous voice! He sounded like he was speaking from the Heavens or other such places on high, a very interesting lecture.
Satan has a sweet voice…that’s how he cheated Eve…
@@user-sm3du3qe5qGod impregnated Mary when she was 12.
and how he cheated you @@user-sm3du3qe5q
A horrid, raspy voice spouting utter nonsense.
It's called "reverb". Ironically, it's often used in religion all-the-same.
This is absolutely amazing 100% true! This is the Key! To peace on earth!! Love n light 😍🥰🌺
Christ said he didn't come to bring peace but a sword and division. To divide a son from his parents and a sister from her brother and so on. So, argue that one. We are required to live peaceably within our society as far as it is within us unless that which that which society requires is contrary to God's law.
the sword is in the second coming. they killed him when he brought love.
@@lawrenceehrbar8667So a "sword and division," "dividing a son from his parents and a sister from her brother," is going to "require" us to "live peaceable within our society"? What are you talking about, man? 😂🤣😂
@tbridge7183 I was saying that it is fruitless to strive for "peace on Earth". It will one day become reality, but only when Christ returns and not thru any efforts of mankind. The Apostle Paul teaches us to be at peace with all men, as much as it requires of us, with the exception of compromising God's law.
Alan Watts brings confusion and doubt, God brings enlightenment and hope. Don’t listen to what makes you feel good or what you selfishly wish to be true, seek THE TRUTH. Jesus is the way, the Bible is reliable. God is love and if you seek Him you will find Him. Blessings🙏
The teachings of the bible doesn't make you feel good, explain why the devil and god are enemies yet one punishes sinners and the other one rewards good people - nonsense.
Satan went rogue in heaven and was cast out. He works 24/7 to deceive you in order for your soul to miss the opportunity to be accepted into heaven. Looks like he is working you over. Ask God your most intimate questions.
It is spiritual warfare, if you rely on Satan for answers he will deceive you every time. Let God show you what you need to see to understand
Seek God with an open heart and accept what is shown to you. Only God shows the truth... sometimes it isn't what we want to hear, you have to be willing to accept the answers.
Amen. If you truly seek God, He will show Himself to you. Jesus is alive and He is still changing lives. Blessings in Christ ✝️
God was, is and always will be God him self. It doesn’t matter if we agree, believe or not, the one truly thing is that simple God is pure Love, and that’s why he gave us the freedom to choose or do whatever we like to, thanks God we are not robots, and unfortunately our own choices are not always the best for our own lives . I’ve had wonderful answers from God, and he will be the only living God to me 🙏🏽❤️
I was brought up as a Methodist, involved in the choir and youth meetings but at 20 years old I began to realize how out of touch the church was with reality always asking for more money to build a new church building that's when I knew that there was something missing from this group. A higher power doesn't care what religion, race or sexual orientation you are so then religion became obsolete for me. I believe in the universe and that when our body surrenders the soul transforms for the next step. We came here with just a soul and as our souls are infinite meaning that our souls existed long before our arrival on this planet. I have found my soulmate meaning that we have shared countless lifetimes together and just as we were destined to find each other again so it will be in our future forever
I like your philosophy.
The Soul belongs in the Spiritual realm, the Body belongs in the Physical realm, therefore we have the Holy Spirit.
The un-forgivable sin is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.
You can’t blame God & the Bible for what flawed human beings do, especially when what they do are specifically frown upon by God, Jesus & the Bible. If you decided to leave the church or Christianity, it should just be because you wanted to for your own personal reasons, not due to someone else. You could always be a Christian privately without going to church or dealing with religious hypocrites. As for the other things you stated, you are very misguided on those things. You have created your own idea in your mind about who you wish God to be, with no real references to back it up. How do you know that our souls were here long before our bodies? Or that God doesn’t really care about this & that? You choose to discredit one belief system for the next, when there is no proof the new one is even right. With all that being said, let me just be blunt by saying that reincarnation & many lifetimes are FALSE! But I’m probably a very small minority of Bible believing Christians out there that believe that God created a system or force in the universe or spiritual realm, that tracts every thought, action & word that come from us, whether good or bad. And we attract certain things, circumstances, and people in our lives that are meant to teach & heal us in our lives. All in the name of better preparing us to be good candidates for Heaven when we leave here. For example, if someone needs to learn patience, you’re going to attract things & people in your life that will continue to try your patience until you heal that part of yourself. If you need to learn unconditional love, you’ll probably have to deal with a partner, your own child, someone else, or even learn to accept certain things about yourself that you don’t like, etc. And for the people that seem to have very little to no problems in life, and almost everything seems to be perfect, they too are being tested to see how they handle they good fortunes, good looks, how they treat others, etc. Life is meant to prepare you for Heaven, but unfortunately not everyone will make it. Everything is not about love, and God is not all about love. He has standards. And love rebukes sometimes. Not because you love your child means that you just let them get spoiled and out of hand, just to bear the name of you being a good parent or person. How can a loving God not rebuke or punish sinners, especially killers, thieves, rapists, etc.? They just get to move on to the other life? Would that be just? Would you want to live in a society with evil & dishonest people like that, especially when there’s no consequences for their actions? Of course not, so why would God want that in his presence, or even competitive and argumentative people? If He welcomed all, or even most, then Heaven would be a repeat of what Earth has always been. Do you think the people creating the problem in societies today, as evil as the world is, are religious God-faring Christians? Most of them are atheists & agonists criminal, even if they celebrate religious holidays; or they’re atheists & agonist wealthy people that think they’re too sophisticated & educated for the God of the Bible. And that’s why atheists & other Bible skeptics should stop asking ridiculous questions about if there’s really a God, why are there so much evil in the world. God gave us instructions and warnings after warnings about how to live righteously and peacefully with each other in the world, but human beings go against those principles, then blaming God as if we don’t have freewill. I guess they would’ve rather He made us like robots & not have freewill. But when Adam & Eve was created before they transcended sins on the future human race, they were already created to have freewill, which we inherited since they were our original ancestors. And lastly, my question for you is, if the God of the Bible didn’t create us & the universe, then how did everything in the universe get created?
I am a Christian but I also believe that I know as much about God as an ant crawling around on my patio knows about me.
As far as re-incarnation, I was born during WWII. I am an American but I have a fear of water and used to have a recurring dream of being a German U-boat Captain. Go figure?@@seekfindAPOLOGETICS
When God created the Earth, he gave humans a soul. A soul that can either be inhabited by good or evil. There is no such thing as souls existing before our arrival on this planet. God made the planet and we were each specially created by God in time for our birth, he planned our future. God is the higher power. He loves everybody no matter the race, religion or sexual orientation as you mentioned before. Although human actively sin or even curse God to his face, his love never ceases. He still tries to help us change and repent. But those who dont listen will feel his wrath when the day comes that Time and Earth will be no more. Please seek guidance from a Pastor before it is too late, I am only trying to do my job as a messenger of God, which is what he calls us to be. God Bless you.

Easy. God created the Universe. Mankind writes books.
A truly wonderful listening experience.
The world is a stage, the control of the mind.
