  • A powerful and profound speech on life by Alan Watts.
    Original Audio sourced from: “Alan Watts - Extended Seminars - Early Radio Talks - G. K. Chesterton
    “Things are as they are. Looking out into it the universe at night, we make no comparisons between right and wrong stars, nor between well and badly arranged constellations."
    - Alan Watts. (1915 - 1973)

Have come to the conclusion: simply choose to be happy, count blessings and live in gratitude. Smile at life and find the funny side. It works.

    How to NOT take the world or ourselves too seriously is the doorway to enter into peace and loving kindness, but it is so damn hard. It feels like being in a torrential, mighty river being swept away and someone on the shore saying, "Get out of the raging river and ease your mind." The more you try to swim against the crazy currents of life the more exhausted you become. Still, to think of regaining the innocence and wide eyed wonder of a child gives me hope.

It's encouraging to know that the message to me anyway, is to keep these teachings to help guide us through and overcome our minds.

    To be surprised by everything is high wisdom.

    Nonsense and humour.
    The attitude of Heaven isn’t serious.
