“The meaning of life is just to be alive. It is so plain and so obvious and so simple. And yet, everybody rushes around in a great panic as if it were necessary to achieve something beyond themselves.” ― Alan Watts
Quite a few people have moaned about the music but I think it is very subtle and goes well with the images shown and the sound of Alan's voice. These lectures are exceptional.
This video is brilliant, thank you. It has given me an answer that I have been searching for: "A response of a no-deliberating mind is the response of a Buddha mind, or an unattached mind... but you must not imagine that this is necessarily a quick response. Because if you get hung up on the idea of responding quickly; the idea of quickness will be, itself, a form of obstruction."
Thank you a lot for making these videos. Alan Watts speaking with no music is already wonderful but if you add a good tune behind it and images, it becomes majestic, it feels like a perfect dream. With every video of Alan I discover more and more, but it has been in the last recent weeks that I really started to understand everything so clearly. Dont feel guilty for anything that you do. Let your emotions happen and dont think for a second you have done something wrong. This is the true liberation. Thank you Alan.
1:24 Split thinking aggravates the internal conflicts. If you know true self, lower self is illusion. 8:35 There is no duality between the thinker and the thought. Thanks Alan. 12 March 2024. 🚀😎🐥🍹💫🍉🛍⛳️🍑🌹
@@bestkoreanjesus maybe not stole. What is there to steal? The way is the way. I doubt Lao Tzu would have said it was his and therefore anyone else who had similar insights was a plagerist. I believe it should be seen as a mutual confirmation. The truth can be seen in any and all scenarios. It remains the same truth, it remains the same tao.
iIf you would only know what's possible in the Universe...f y put a 'no' in yr expression Your Own Universe couldn't even give it to you... learn the trickery of many spoken languages...etymology. taking oneselves more serious is a great step, though not too much.. we need laughter to ourselves too.. If y would see how silly my desisions still often enough are... but I deal with it in a most relaxed way possible and forgive myselves and I AM decisive to improve in different ways every day...different breathwork, practises.. loads to work on the Self! check out NDE's, will learn so much!
Being present is the only choice you have, you still don’t get it. "I have realized that the past and future are real illusions, that they exist in the present, which is what there is and all there is." -Alan Watts
I feel the lower self is the spiritual. The higher is the mystical. Everyone fears the mystical self because it’s completely detached. Spiritual self is fearful animalistic clingy and needy.
@@hawkaraeidk I think his phrasing can be over complicated. I generally enjoy listening to him but I sometimes struggle to wrap my head around what he's saying. I'll give it another listen and see if I get it
But walking through a mirage,is a bit like riding a horse through a rainbow,when you get there,it's moved on down the road,just like the ego does ie sometimes it seems almost impossible to pin down and identify ,having admitted its existence within myself,I see it for its actual non existent nature,like Alan knew 51 years ago,so the trick with egos is as eckhart tolle recommends is first admission and recognition of theoretical existence, and keeping this in mind,control over it can to some degree be achieved, but total removal of it will never be fully brought about,because at least a fragment of it necessary for the human condition,and that was quite a mouthful,for me a casual observer.
One exists. One lives. One dies. Why complicate it in human (feelings) terms? Life-Death, it is what it is. The end. SHUT UP! lol we should really laugh at death. 'I love you!'
This is a pretty dangerous and possibly irresponsible speech. He knows full well that a good percentage of his followers are looking for some sort of answer in their life. and the message that they could easily misinterpret here due to their own vulnerable state is to give up trying.
He’s talking about it letting go of all conceptions of self so as to realize the inherent triviality behind subscribing to a specific interpretation of identity. It’s an ode to freedom, not suicide

I’m at the stage that hates the truth of this statement. I wanna let go but at the same time I don’t.

Man this guy really helps me out mentally with his words
Same here!
Soooooo much great teachings, I can never get enough of Al Watts
Quite a few people have moaned about the music but I think it is very subtle and goes well with the images shown and the sound of Alan's voice. These lectures are exceptional.
It is definitely not the most intrusive or annoying music i have heard on an alan watts video
they'd rather this be narrated by some garbage Ai, and have dubstep put to it, no doubt.

Exactly. Alan can put words to that which I haven't the skill to speak.
He stole from lao tzu

I appreciate your knowledge and advice, thank you.
I find peace of mind besides learning how to deal with certain thought patterns. He was a great Teacher. ❤❤❤
Life sucks and I hate it! Alan Watts helps to make it slightly more bearable
Just accept the moment. You are greater than your emotions and thoughts. It will pass.
With you, Mike! What a place this is. So much struggling for so little. And many people have it even harder.
*your life sucks, not life.
the beauty of life is where we search for it
Great minds clear everything up
the authentic eye is love , realeyes
Problems are just an illusion! That’s it!😊
Unless are health related, these are very physically real
I love Allan
very helpful, very powerful

Why do the captions stop at like 3:20?

After watching this I'm more confused than before
Have you given a listen to others? Ram Dass. Wayne Dyer. Manly P Hall. Maybe Alan isn't your thang. 😅
@@hawkaraeidk I think his phrasing can be over complicated. I generally enjoy listening to him but I sometimes struggle to wrap my head around what he's saying. I'll give it another listen and see if I get it
😂❤
maybe don't watch - instead; listen!
@@hawkarae listened through again more carefully this time, it makes total sense! Maybe @hawkarae is my thang XD
Pull yourself up by the bootstraps and become part of the big picture.
I like to prefer it as the shadow self-know thyself .
💓✌️💝🦉
soo, if there is no thinker, only the thouhgts what about not identifying with thoughts
I wish I understood.
innerstand and silent the mind as that is our creative force! set it on 0.75 speed..
When you know how to suffer, you suffer less ❤

All i get from this guy is, "Nihilism is the way to go"😎
You don’t have to be the best human, You just have to be better than the weakest human. Then you can shit on him and feel better about yourself.
The best part of life is knowing we will die one day and then they come up with heaven and the afterlife. No thank you
How about just shit and feel
I’m sorry, what?
Totally lost in his own head 😂,never did find his way out .poor man . I feel sorry for him . ❤
You would never know his true experience within himself

Literally not

You’re right. It’s brilliant.
This man alone has helped me drop all illusions. 🙏🏼🤍
