  • Alan Watts had a lot of wisdom to share when it came to Facing our fears.In this UA-cam video, renowned philosopher Alan Watts explores One of his secrets is that fear arises from the thought of what “might” or “could” happen, or the danger of the unknown. But when we accept that we have no real control over what will or will not happen, we can learn to step back from fear, and take life as it comes with all its surprises.He emphasized that instead of worrying about the future, we should live in the present, enjoying each moment for what it is and embracing each wave of opportunity or challenge as a part of our journey.

    Life is like a game of cards. You are dealt a hand, and you must play it to the best of your ability, but you never know what the next card will be. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, but the game goes on. The trick is to enjoy the game, to find the fun in the uncertainty, and to learn from the cards you are dealt. The more you play, the better you become, and the more you realize that winning and losing are just illusions. In the end, it's not about the cards in your hand, but about how you play the game."

      That’s right❤ there is no winning or loosing; just experiences. Life is not the way we see it but how we live it and how we face those episodes in our life movie. If people would deeply understand this there was much less mental suffering when we experience losses, divorce, breakups, financial losses, etc. Any experience brings new opportunities. We just have to be open to them.

      try this, it might be fun to experience it once: stop wanting or wishing it to get better, just take it the moment it comes, make friends with it, embrace it, dont ask it to go

      @@rezanasiri6941 easier said than done my friend. The glory of fear and anxiety is in the anticipation. The only thing worse than that is when you physically witness your ship sinking and there’s nothing you can do about it.
      I am not a quitter, though, I am still very much in the game of life. I just disagree with this remedy. Fear and I have been good ol pals for quite a while. We wear the same clothes and finish each other’s sentences.

      When it comes to talk to you, treat it like a silly child, tell it don’t be so stupid. Physical waffed your hand by your head as if it a wasp flying around your head and swat it away. Then wiggle your toes and count to 500. Do this EVERY TIME!!!!!

    The comments section lets me realize how ignorant the world is. Those that say they know, know not, and those that don't know, are the ones that actually know.
    Alan watts commercialized has done good and bad. The worst is having people run around with this fake better then you enlightened bs that the comments section is full of. Love Alan but I dislike the fake culture that has been created from his words being exploited in social media.

      I think that’s human nature not from Alan, certainly not spiritual. Too be spiritual is to be humble and honest.

    I need to talk to you. I've gone farther. I created a formula or a concept and applied it to learning.I found the philosophers stone. Then the tree of life. Then discovered why I'm here the nature of life and who I am but not as yet. I know my purpose and my destiny I can manipulate time and I exist in atleast 2 dimensions or at least I've created in two dimensions. I have to talk to you before my head explodes with enough power and knowledge to exist in all dimensions! I can't even meditate!

      I found a shortcut to higher learning. Found the tree of life. Found the philosophers stone that's not a stone! And achieved something for us all! Find a microscope and look for two plutonic solids one appears to be spinning and 1 black tetrahedron following the other. I found them wondering around on my skin and I know what they mean.i really could use someone to talk to as I quickly alienate myself from others. As I devised a shortcut to get here I don't even know how to meditate! I need help.
