This talk was so so satisfying. I laughed, I pondered... I wondered. Alan Watts talks are like a vintage wine... So happy someone took the opportunity to record these talks for posterity
Every time I listen to this brilliant man, I come away feeling freed from falsity. I just love Alan Watts & want to thank all of you who make his talks available, 💜 💫 And - the visuals are inspired, adding a different dimension, literally! ⛩️ 🌌
I was asleep when listening to this and suddenly found myself in a living aware conscious dream state.; I realized that we are apart of the universe , I saw a turtle in the near my foot emerging out of sand. In my mind I felt like the rythem of Allen’s voice had brought me on the same wavelength of his mind, I was just meditating and then I was aware of what he was saying. I was captivated by his words and put into a trance. This is a first for me.
I put Allan on right before I get comfortable and ready for sleep. It’s been around 2-3 years now . I’m waiting for my apartment to be finished so I sleep in the corner of my 22 year old son’s bedroom…he says I actually ask Allan questions and that sometimes I don’t agree , with him respectfully.😂. I am not joking when I tell you I thought he was nuts cause I always have ear buds in, he doesn’t know Allan…. I definitely have caught myself waking up and giggling sometimes BUT my son says “ Mom, who the heck is Allan and why are you talking to him EVERY SINGLE NIGHT ? “ He says I have whole conversations with him. 🤭 ‘Bought what?
As one of the most influential people in my life (Alan Watts) sometimes I feel dependent of your talks as a reminder and you've already passed away goes to show how much we don't know
I love you, Alan! What a gift to humanity. Not only describing the indescribable, but doing it with such open honesty and excellence. The Dhamma that is beautiful in the beginning, the middle, and the end.
Eventhough I'm still not through watching this video, i seriously intend to rewiew it often, those fortunate enough to know me (lol... Jk) know I'm passionate of existentialism as well as an admirer of Alan Watts and can listen to the hero formally known as Alan Watts, ergo, this is a damn GOOD one!!
Alan and Ram Dass are the most articulate and succinct and self-deprecating "philosophers" on the planet. Well,.. were......so...time for us to step up to the plate.....yeah?
Are you aware of Daniel Schmachtenberger? I'm certain you'll find him very insightful. I recommend the recent interview on the "Before Skool" UA-cam channel. All the best!
I feel Ram dass glorifies his ‘path’. he likes to be worshipped, he doesn’t really get it. He carries his raft around, he never drops it. Always clinging to it.
I'm 40 mins into this and he just rightfully called the audience fools and that we can all get off our asses and do something if we will it. Guide them.
Man has made a lovely natural enviroment ..into a let me control everything frankenstien model...look at the way people enjoyed there Island paradise long ago and still do..theybare one with natur and universe letting it flow ..not too much " Radar " required..🏝🥳💥😃
I was cooking meet on the fire today, wind blowing through hair, my earthly father next to me, and I realized even more my relationship with this planet and its inhabitants, there were 3 or 4 birds pirched on electric wires, i went into a trance with the meat cooking and music playing, they watched, they talked, and then they parted ways, i reflected, than processed, and also parted ways❤
First guru is mother, and first seed mantra after OM is maa, that you recite your whole life, now you started calling your maa as mummy 😊and father became dad(dead)
@@CaptStevoonly certain lectures were put on video. Most are from audio recordings. The main/official source is the Alan Watts Foundation, run by Watts family; his son(s), I believe. I have some of the official audio CDs as well as cassette tapes. But most of these can be found here on YT anyway, just a bit out of order. If you dig around, you'll find them all. 😉✌️
@@Cosmi-Bear5555I feel the same way and yet happened to be reading your comment at the part when Watts is saying how when we build a raft to cross a river, some of us can’t help but take the raft with us. I wonder if Sir Alan Watts himself wouldn’t have quite liked this ability to “come and go” from our lives - seems his style.
I wonder if this is a deep fake. Voice sounds a tiny bit different than typical Alan. Could also be natural variation. Famously, Charlie Chaplin came second in a Charlie-Chaplin-Impersonation-Competition.
@@Cosmi-Bear5555 actually I assume you are right. I pitch-shifted it 7% as @cryptotonight9393 down in the comments suggested and it sounds exactly as Alan.
I thought the Voice and pause’s too, are altered someway.. but it also could be the recording. And or maybe salvaged recordings? Also a few times the flow, like it was a nice flowing stream, and then it seemed to, “ pop,” into another stream. And that’s also generally non Alan Typical.
However, altered or not. Still Alan, still his Heart and Verbiage. He would probably laugh if someone chopped up all his recordings and said, “ Here ya go, have a ball!” Thank you for putting it out Here
“Probably AI”….well then thank you AI “No Music”…..just hit next or live in the here and now To the channel tho…THANK YOU! I am finding it harder to find longer talks. Liked, Subscribed and just commented. Hopefully the “AI” shares it more!
So easy to say when you have had everything going for you your whole life. If this were coming from someone who actually faced any hardship, it'd be different. Full of shit
@@iiLivingMeme I think I may relate to an extent. Just beginning to build my own self worth, despite having listened to AW and many of the other 20th century gurus and discovering my own yogic practices... Life is full of challenges and hardships, but without the rough parts of the river, it would be hard to appreciate the smooth currents. AW may have had an easier life than some, but through his travels and exposure to so many different variations of culture, combined with his mastery of communication, his words can be comprehensible regardless of where you come from and where you are now. Find lessons applicable to your situation, discover what makes you passionate, and tackle life head on.
Great talk! Thanks for posting it! Do you think Alan Watts experienced awakening or studied it to the point that he could explain it? The later seems true, as his recount mirrors Sadhguru's one. Alan's insights are remarkable for the 70s (he died before I was born). Interesting this lecture was only posted 1 month ago...
Back when talks were interrupted by birds, not ringtones. 😊
After he called himself a singing bird earlier in the talk 🤯 I noticed that too!
At first I thought it was Alan himself singing like a bird for some reason. I wouldn't be too surprised. 😄
Why is that better
He never loses his cool. A true Samurai. 🙏☯️❤️
What a much much much better time it was back then.. 🤦♂️
This talk was so so satisfying. I laughed, I pondered... I wondered. Alan Watts talks are like a vintage wine... So happy someone took the opportunity to record these talks for posterity
Allan watts is one of my cornerstone teachers atm❤ ive been coming back to his lectures at the end of the month lol❤

This is new and rare, loving disciples know, so wholesome and so pure. Thank you ❤
This one I have never heard before, thank you, so delightful to listen.
Really is.. I have found a few like this and will upload them soon. Thank you for your support x
@@Cosmi-Bear5555my friend you are making the world a better place for those who are willing to listen

Yet another watts channel fantastic they will never take us down it belongs to humanity forever

This is a truly rare Alan Watts I've never heard before and I am truly grateful for it. Thank you sir for the upload!
Thank you for your kind words. You inspire me ✨️☯️💕
I saw rare talk and I thought yeah right, probably not. Nope! This one was different! Thanks!
It feels just Exquisite!!! 💞. It was a pleasure to spend time with you. ❤️🔥
The pleasure was mine also 💕
Who else heard Terrence Howard quote Alan and/or refer to him multiple times? Loved hearing someone say the earth is “peopling.”
Terrence howard wishes he was smart
The intro to this is brilliant
I love you, Alan! What a gift to humanity. Not only describing the indescribable, but doing it with such open honesty and excellence.

Aw and terrance n ram dass n’ the best of them Mr. Joseph Campbell I say all my gratitude gentlemen. Luv yas all.
Try osho and ug krishmurti, osho is really entertaining
his voice is much deeper and older than other all other recording o have heard
It's one of my favourites, I will find out more for you 💟
Roman Empire never fell, it became the catholic church
His point is also his point...
the visuals are goofy but at least there’s no background music
Aw thank you 😊
@@Cosmi-Bear5555 haha sorry i hope i didnt come off rude
Although a doctor who cures his patients will have no job. Sick equal money these days.
It's been years Alan.Been off exploring the labyrinth. Came back for kicks. You're different because I'm different.
Thanks
First guru is mother, and first seed mantra after OM is maa, that you recite your whole life, now you started calling your maa as mummy 😊and father became dad(dead)
I’ve heard just about every one of his works that I know of and I’ve never heard this. Where is this from?
Rare indeed!❤
dA mEaNiNg Of LiFe
i love u alan Peace God
I never know if these are AI now :( and it has ruined my Alan Watts life
It's not A.I I would say if it was, also isn't it the knowledge and wisdom we are after..
This is from old tape, or tapes.
@Cosmi-Bear5555 what's the source? I'd like to see if I can find the original video. thanks.
This is a wild comment in that it's an understandable concern to have. What would Alan think of the current state?

Ok but the centre of a sphere is a very specific place
I think he means the center on the surface of a sphere.
I've never heard this. Amazing.
Omg that laugh when hes talkin bout wine 🍷😂
WHERE DID YOU FIND THIS?
I wish I could be like Alan
The raft analogy tho 😊
Some people are born into "The Great Doubt", therefore impossible to resolve except by awakening or death. "Power" & "fun" don't stand a chance.
Dance with me, I'm God.
Is this man Alan watts is he still alive?
Born: 6 January 1915,
Died: 16 November 1973 (age 58 years)
I wish😢
Nope sadly , he lectured mostly in the 60s
I'm back for kicks. I like it*
The tapping sound is so annoying. Ruined the whole thing
See hear feel
Is this really him or ai?
It's him x
You all notice how these are eventually deleted and then reuploaded, wtf
I hope not 💖

Thank you for putting it out Here
Deep fake won’t have a crowd or audience in the background
Needs to be pitch shifted up just a bit.
I thought he sounded old and fat. I hope you are right. you probably are
I did it, 5-7% and it sounds good
Does anyone know what year this took place?
60s 70s I assume.
Manly p hall and Ram das...Terrance McKenna has free audio book..UA-cam.
Sorry, couldn’t get past the microphone rub
40:00
Who is holding this microphone? The bird? Love you Alan, but he keeps repeating himself quite often
“Probably AI”….well then thank you AI
“No Music”…..just hit next or live in the here and now
To the channel tho…THANK YOU! I am finding it harder to find longer talks. Liked, Subscribed and just commented.

A.i says Thanks 😊
Yo this is all wtf!!! Deleted and reuploaded constantly!!! Tell me why!

@@Cosmi-Bear5555 I won't edit what I said, but I was just having a bad day. I like Watts a lot. Just unhappy with myself and my life

He died at a young age from alcoholism. And he knew of his impending end.
That ain't him
Yes it is x
@@Cosmi-Bear5555 no it is not him a.i. stop lying

Probably not
