“Perhaps the foremost interpreter of Eastern disciplines for the contemporary West, Alan Watts had the rare gift of ‘writing beautifully the un-writable’. Watts begins with scholarship and intellect and proceeds with art and eloquence to the frontiers of the spirit. A fascinating entry into the deepest ways of knowing.” - Los Angeles Times

Forget yourself and you will get yourself back. Amazing man.
That's not the message. Its get involved with greater things and then you will cultivate a great personality. For example, one can get involved in a sport and go through those processes that lead to success such as discipline persevered, industriousness, and so on and in the end he will become a successful person whom others look up to.
@@lucavelli9723 Self Reliance is my secret to feeling great 😋
@@lucavelli9723 ironically, you're the one who didn't get it.
your interest is still based around developing various superficial aspects of yourself, and you're still obsessed with the idea of "becoming a successful person whom others look up to."
you talked about getting involved in sports as an example, but that sounded like just an excuse to go off about disciplines and industriousness and such, without showing ANY genuine interest in talking about sports.
your philosophy is half-baked. your comprehension needs work. go back and read the original comment again, this time with an open mind. then maybe, just maybe, you'll finally understand what it means.
@@ethanfreeman1106 exactly. As Alan himself said “ the more you give it away the more it comes back”
Alan watts is something else. He must have cherished life beyond belief. He is the pave way for the intellectual
Noone in the metaphysical world impresses me as much as Alan Watts
It’s a joy listening to him.
I know exactly how you feel ❤
Seriously
Naw facts
Guyyyy
In the MeTaPhYsiCaL wOrLd
Only voice that instantly calms me, lost but not forgoten.

Him and Carl Sagan.
For some apparent reason I cannot find it within myself to scroll pass this short. The saying "Great things sometimes come in small packages." Comes to mind.
Funnily enough, one of the central points in “How to win friends and influence people” is that you must be interested in others in order for them to be interested in you
As usual the majority isn't going that way... Diamonds are rare ❤
Indeed. But that speaks of flattery to win over people. Watts is saying pursue your passions and you will become interesting.
@Domn879 Read his actual words. He says to become genuinely interested in others. Most people are too self- absorbed. Genuine interest is not flattery. I don't flatter astronomy. Lol
@@jichaelmorgan3796 'interested in others' sounds grand but in how many others can you be interested, and what would that interest do for them or for yourself? Then, why chase after others being interested in you by you being interested in them or in astronomy? And if you become interesting for others, so what? Their interest in you may soon be replaced by interest in someone else or in astronomy, for instance.
@d1427 It's no different than going to another country and being interested in the people and the culture. You can say all those things you said about that, too. Everyone has a story to tell. People have interesting hobbies and backgrounds, experiences. Having a natural curiosity for such things is healthy and normal. The advice is to cultivate a genuine interest in people (if you don't have it), not fake it. Have you ever met a genuinely good personable person who did not have this quality?? It's one of the best pieces of advice a socialphobe can get because they usually have false preconceptions about people that need to be challenged.
I used to arrive to school really early due to transportation availability and on the radio at 4-5am to 6am for the college was always Alan Watts. He has helped shape my life in ways I didn't think about before and now years later still finding wisdom in his words
💫
Such a Giant !
Heart and Mind dance together in this wonderful human !
I used to think other people would be like Alan watts. No one was.
💫💛🌼
Getting lost will help you find yourself
Imagine being in his classroom 🎉🎉 so grateful for these videos and audios .
The man is just amazing.
Thank you for this just looking at this short brought me to a realization that the root to my anxiety is that I cling to me. But I also realize that trying to do something about that would result to more self destruction so I just watch it, accept it and remain aware and eventually my anxiety will no longer rule me.
Observing will also disolve it but its uncomfortable 😊
To lose yourself in the moment is to gain everything
Alan is a gem
Agree
I believe we are allready all we can ever be. And the only real task we have in this life is getting out of our own way to let that 100% shine through without interference of our ego.
Yes, it is just noticing what we already are, rather than becomming something (enlightened etc.).
This is important to know, because most people think, they are seeking something special, that they have never experienced before, but they are already that many times at any day. Its just not recognized and then there comes all that mental noise again. Then it seems, to be not existent at all.
@@maltonic42 well put and so true. It actually reminds me of this thing I read the other day. About a woman who knows she's been true many traumatizing experiences. Yet she doesnt know why she doesnt feel anything about it. So she goes out looking. Looking obsessively for details about what happened to see if she can feel it. Than she has this insight that the fact she doenst feel it, IS the effect of the trauma. And then you realise the trauma has always been embued with yourself. And it becomes so tangible and essential in your experience. Just like the discovery of the true self.
Stumbled across one of his lectures in the library back in 2013. I’ve been listening to him ever since. He was genuinely a real person and didn’t make any qualms about it.
I got to grow up listening to him every Sunday , when tv 📺 & radio 📻 broadcast stations had to have some kind of religious or spiritual service …!
Save Druid Heights
as a cultural heritage site….!!!
Maybe you should just listen to Christ our savior and follow him. Not all religious are wrong, you just assume that if you don't understand it or God.
I love listening to this guy! Such an amazing human. Rip Alan!
I love his voice
I fall asleep listening to Alan Watts, and I dream so good!
To think this guy was dead for a few years before I was born, and this treasure - his recordings - were there my whole life, even when I struggled. I wish I had leant about Alan much earlier.
I ❤ Alan Watts . I'm sure he is talking to me a alone . 😊
He was my very first guru 🙏🏻
Hes my number 1
I got my way. Alan watts listener for years now.
To love another as other for that other, will get you true personality.
My son emigrate ten year's ago în America and because he listen Alan in his car almost every day
i have no anxiety animore about " how is he ? " .
Gratefull for this work of your's , ... sometimes betwen moter's and son's or " continent's " ... We are one 💜❤️🩹
This landed!
Let go of ego. I have to remind myself of that all the time
He is a joy to listen to.🙏
❤ thank you. That was beautiful
Persona becomes overloaded after sometimes how beautiful and great it is.
This is real! Alan Watts is the truth!
Of all things I'm most grateful for, it's that God gave me the opportunity to complete the great Alan Watt's mission. He always wanted to be able to SEE THE WORLD from outside himself and I'm glad I accomplished that with the Igunnuko Traditional people. ❤
Such wisdom ..he,s my go to man .💥🙏
so cool this man ! started listening to him as a teen in 1970
Alan was in his bag with this one! lol
❤❤❤❤ I love him
I actually did though. One of our friends in high school with close to zero social skills had a significant improvement after reading How to Win Friends and Influence People.
It's a good book. But I see this guy's point too.
One of the worst people I’ve ever met told me I needed to read a book called “How to win friends and influence people”.
😆
How about trying both reading the book and doing something interesting. Form your own perspective
The thing is that the book is so good that it's dangerous in the wrong hands
@@ArielPerez507sought after by only
Nefarious Characters, who utterly lack personality and character! If you truly need a tutorial on the subject, you’re in it for the wrong reasons.
I love you Alan❤
I love the people in my life and hope more them
That's a beautiful sentiment. I wish you the best.
W Charisma. Alan was in his bag.
so so true
Very true!
So wisely Said. ❤
Just amazing! Thank you so much for being in life!
It fundamentally boils down to a simple concept. People are not interested in you for no reason, they are interested in you because of what you offer them, wether that's business, insight, financial assistance, sex, laughter.. whatever. If you're only interested in yourself then you don't really have anything to offer anyone
He reminds me of Bowie!
"Third Rock From The Sun" sitcom taught me how to be a person
Beautiful wise mystic closest thing to God fr
Amazing ❤
thank so much
My ego is my enemy. I'm not special, I'm not unique and replaceable anywhere.
What is ego
Your ego is also another gift given to you to help you experience life uniquely to you.
I like how Alan watts address this, that ego doesn’t exist, the duality of men is just illusion and the reality is just that you are only a human who do things.
How on earth have I only just found out about this guy?
It wasn't time yet.
True true
Titio Allan passando a visão 🫡 Uncle Allan passing the vision ✨🙏
We really are going backwards 😢....
❤ this
This made me laugh because I just finished reading. Currently reading the book how to wins friends.
how to friends and influence people was never about develop personality. The whole point was that if you listen to other people, they like it. It doesn’t make you interesting. It makes them feel interesting. You develop personality by doing things learning things, preferably something that’s useful or musing to others.
Exactly. I read that book "How to win friends and influence people." The book teaches you stuff, sure. But you can't just immediately jump from uncharismatic to charismatic from reading it.
Now i know where that book title came from lol
Bong 💯🔥
🙏🏽
Love him
Allan watts is one of those people you use as an example of an old soul
100%,but today we got influensers....o my god Alan...
This is interesting
Every genius thing is simple! Sounds simple , but HOW to forget your personality?
Nobody ain’t mention this man sick fade
💐
Profit off a great mans free knowledge
Alan actually charged for most of his live lectures, all his books, and his audio/video recordings. He never identified as a guru, rather he claimed to be an entertainer.
His son, Mark, travelled with him for many years, recording his talks, editing and packaging them for distribution. Together they set up the Electronic University, now the Alan Watts Org, and Mark continues Alan’s efforts to be a custodian to the integrity of his father’s voice, helping to spread Alan’s potent, yet lighthearted, message for the world to enjoy.
However, all of this energy input by Mark continues to require resources… so we are still offering Alan’s work in fresh formats to the public - in exchange for their support.
We hope you’ll find value, or at least understanding, in this response, and in the restored and remastered audio we’ve been working diligently to provide.
More Alan Watts UA-cam😅

What if not trying to cultivate a personality is also trying to cultivate a personality? What if part of my personality is trying to cultivate a personality... I'm going to read "How to win friends and win people" and I don't care, if Alan Watts agrees with that or not 😈
There is no personality. The thing they find interesting is just a pattern of behavior. An object in a constant state of change has no identity until it stops changing.
Amazing! Very profound words
I need to write this down
This is very insightful.
Thanks for the comment.
Do you think that a personality is a particular expression of a general (archetypal) pattern of behavior? It is true that we cycle through identities as we move through the day and through our life, and woe to those who never change.
Sounds profound but not. Those patterns of behavior are called personality. It's like saying there is no such thing as an orange, it is just a series of molecules.
@@craigseganti8999 fair enough, perhaps different descriptions of the same thing. A personality is a classification of that particular pattern of behaviors. It coalesces into that identifiable phenomena.
So glad this guy decided to grow facial hair
Wow I didn’t know any video of him existed
We have 34 color videos of him on the streaming platform and new app!
Carnegie catching strays 💥💥
*sneakily hides "how to win friends and influence people" book
Did he just smash Dale Carnegie? 😂
That’s what I heard!
Rightfully so
Sounds like. But that book is interesting too. It made a lot of sense to me because my personality was already there so it's not faking it, it just made me understand more about myself. But this Alan guy is interesting too.
I must be interesting, I have so many people gangstalkig me
but it's great to let them know where did you pick up you're fruits from ☯️
So true!!!
Imagine if he had played Obi Wan Kenobie
Oh, don't knock. Dale Carnegie
Can anyone please tell me the title of this?
Apologies, I must have missed adding a full description on this one. It’s titled Zen in Gardens and Architecture from the Eastern Wisdom and Modern Life TV series. Available with 33 other full length color videos on the official Alan Watts streaming platform and app with a subscription which supports our restoration efforts. In browser/web at Play.AlanWatts.org or in AppStore’s as Alan Watts : The Ultimate Alan Watts Experience
Actually yeah you can and I did and people find me much more interesting for it.
Alan Watts just told men how to be an alpha male in less than a minute. lol
Samuel tacos in Africa in 2024
I love that place
The cult of personality
If everyone did this then no one would be interested by anyone. If you think about it there needs to be a uninterested one to be interested in someone interesting. We all need each other in s certain way.
I have no personality. I know things, that no one is interested in.
damn, I could not recognize him with short hair and without beard
