He looks like a friendly wizard offering gentle guidance to lost travelers. What a marvelous time we live in that we can hear such lovely teachings even from beyond the veil of death. He was Brahman singing a song to itself, and now the song echoes in our thoughts and machines.
If you want to see a real life Gandalf, watch some John Butler videos. He's an 85 year old English man who offers up his sage wisdom. If you like Alan Watts, I think you'll enjoy John Butler.
25:00 crazy that he’s basically predicting whats happening with VR now. We’re probably still 15 or 10 years away but it’s essentially the simulation theory he’s proposing
I had only been exposed to his work in all those edited music videos on youtube but hearing the words spoken without the editing and seeing him is life changing. I want to know more. I want to learn more. I feel like there is a future for me because of this.
The story called "Siddhartha" by Hermann Hesse brought great insight and awareness for me, I read it countless tines because of the beauty in the story but also in trying to understand its message. I hope you enjoy it and get something special from it as well.
Thank you. And thank you sooooo very much for not poisoning this wonderful piece with annoying, dramatic piano music that every other video on youtube is saturated with. This is truly enlightening.
Hearing Alan watts without all the additional music and edits to try and portray inspiration, really helps bring about an actual understanding and inspiration from his words. When one tries to least to convey his message, his effortlessness is what is truly inspiring
I would say the opposite. If you write down everything he is saying, you’ll see he rambles and goes round in circles. In snippets he sounds much better.
@@olivercox2565 well obviously, because he is trying to make a point. The fact that he could encircle this whole 50 minute monologue and connect seemingly parallel thoughts is truly inspiring.
The funny thing about listening to this video instead of watching it in full is that you start the video, then come back to it 30 minutes later after listening to it, and ask yourself “wait, why did Alan take his shirt off??” 😂
“The serpent didn’t make any excuse, he probably winked.” The serpent, being an angel, was wise enough to know where the present begin.” God is to blame! This whole world is his doing. At that point you realise that God is you. And when you die, everything ends completely.
@@avalanche9026 I'm thinking of all the past as being in the now moment. It's a bit tricky, but the idea is that all the past is compressed as timeless information in the present moment. Compare with for example a UA-cam video, it exists as timeless information stored in data centers.
This realistic man/soul/ energy gave me freedom, a relief of this world's socialism and control. The BEST life changing experience starts now. Thanks Mr. Allan Watts 🙌 RIP
I thank the universe that he was so into recording his work....just imagine all the wisdom that may have past so many of us by! I listen every night...it's the only thing that seems to help me forget the day to day. We were blessed
I used to listen to Alan Watts for a long time then I got burned out but recently I've been listening again. What I can compare them to is like listening to a wise uncle speak about the nature of life. They are very calming and insightful.
I love coming across actual video of Alan Watts bc most of the stuff I click on of his are just the audio recordings of lectures, which are still very good but seeing the man on screen is way more powerful.
I came here after it was referenced in Marvel Multiverse Loki. I was half listening to it and half way realized there was something there. I’ll have to listen multiply times to understand it. Thanks.
I've been listening to this for years, I loved hearing the snippet in Loki, gave me chills. You'll learn something new and deepen your understanding every time (pardon the pun) you listen to this, for all time, always. ;-)
This man is amazing. Ive always believed in the idea of the fractal universe and found so many confirmations of it for myself in so many examples of things, concepts, events, etc, etc. But the connections he makes are just on another level. Like if you were to as a child look at yourself as a grownup, its just that impressive.
Profound. You know. I've been watch alan watts for over a decade and the man still teaches me something new each time I listen, and with time the messege gets clearer and deeper. And yet, I couldn't even begin to explain to you what I've learned 😉 lol Just wow. Thank you for always having these up!
We will fade in and out as waves in the ocean. Colliding, collapsing, crashing, and continuing to remain constant until we're calm. Let it be well my friend. We seem to be on the same course. ✌️😎❣️
I would have followed him wherever he went. Even if he'd have shunned my presence, I'd have yielded to his right to do so , and made sure he never knew , subsequently, I was just out of his sensory reach , because I don't think id have been able to disengage ever. As he wasn't able to disengage from speaking so propheticly prolific in profound parables. I'd have been joyfully dizzy in my nonstop epiphanies rooted in his everyday knowledge drops
Idk what to even say. I'm not a spiritual person. At least I don't think so. I'm introverted and have no friends and family.....well I have my beastfriend/cat/roommate Tosh @akito7025 ...I'd love some kinda spiritual companion. Or anyone lol. Likely Kidney cancer and financial issues are really getting worse and im having horrible things go through my mind. I'd never cause anyone else trouble or stress on purpose ..hell just the idea of leaving Tosh all locked up in here with my body and being all confused why I wasn't getting up to talk with her makes me fkn start crying....although lately I been leaving her food bin ajar and leaving more than the one bowl of water...idk man...If Mr Watts is around...I sure hope he knows I don't WANT to be this way and I'd appreciate some help a little more potent than prolific and insightful words lol
Theres a curious notion concerning time and our dream state, So speaking from my own experience there is no sense of time in our dream realm we are just suddenly there theres like no beginning nor ending to our dreams, In dreamland we do not have a sense of time its more like a duration or an interval of time, OUSPENSKY the way we percieve time is We are always in two places, where ever you may be in the physical realm, the other is mental ln an unknown place, with a sense of motion upon that space, Manly P Hall- "God and time are both servants of Infinity"...thats deep!! I'll leave you with a proposition formulated by P.D. Ouspensky: "If there is such a thing as an eternity, then from the stand point of an eternity every moment is eternal". Just wanted to share some ideas concerning time, Thank you for uploading another great talk, I wonder if Allen had any idea how important his work would become in our current distopian era which demands from us a new paradigm shift especially with how quickly A.I. is emerging in all areas of our lives..
Two Mormon young men came to my house and offered me their book. I declined and told them to listen to Alan Watts lectures - What is Reality. And they said they would.
The way I ended up thinking about this was to consider that the same way we perceive ourselves moving thru time in only one direction at only one rate, we are also always pulled down by gravity at just one rate. So if I begin moving upwards against gravity, everything is caused to be up where it is by something below it supporting it. I won’t encounter the 20th story of a building without first encountering 19 other stories. But then when i get far enough up I could encounter some space rock that never was on earth and is held up by nothing, circling the earth. And if distance up from the earth is a metaphor for time, then this rock has a source further up still- it is an effect whose cause is in the future. So I’m not a physicist and I wonder what one would say, but by analogy it would seem that causality is an illusion caused by motion, and when you first blast off that’s fine because everything you encounter is subject to all the same local forces and is moving the same way more or less, but the further out you get and the closer you get to other things, the more likely you are to start encountering things behaving completely different. As I approach another planet I start encountering the tops of buildings before I encounter their bases, and if I’m still thinking relative to my orientation when I blasted off on earth, this whole planet is moving backwards in time, right up until I land and fall to the ceiling and crawl out of my rocket and put my feet on the ground and look around and am in a world with normal gravity again where everything up has something beneath it.
It appears that a portion of this video was filmed at Druid Heights, in Northern California. Druid Heights was, at one point in time, a well known community of artists, philosophers and various other counterculture-minded indidividuals. According to a recent documentary video, the building in which Alan Watts did a portion of this video still stands, as does the very spot where he sat during that portion the video, discussing the concept of reproduction. It's eerily satisfying to see the present day spot, which apparently hasn't changed at all, where Alan sat, philosophizing in a way which I have always found fascinating.

Dont listen to his stuff on sleep. Sleep is crucial.

I’ve listened to hundreds of hours of Watts. He has predicted soooo many current technologies we have I lost count. He is a mastermind
I was blown away when he said that I can’t believe it. It’s like he knows :-)
In 1967 he talked about computers implants in the brain.
I had only been exposed to his work in all those edited music videos on youtube but hearing the words spoken without the editing and seeing him is life changing. I want to know more. I want to learn more. I feel like there is a future for me because of this.

I have listened to his work for hours and hours without seeing him move around in them until just now and see it’s not just me.
I despise those "fall asleep to Alan Watts with dumb ambient music in the background" videos. I'm trying to actually listen and learn ffs.

"The past is a result of the present." - Alan Watts, Exactly! It's really simple, time started now and the past is information in the now.
Makes so much sense, really blowed my mind..
No sir it’s the other way around. Past ist the result of the past .. awaearnes of the past present.

I so admire and am challenged daily (in 2023) by these teachings, thought paths and ways of viewing the continuous happenings around us

A perfect understanding of a single moment of the universe is equivalent to a perfect understanding of everything that was or will be
“How big a thing is, or how long an event is, is simply a matter of definition.” That’s what I wish she said 😂
