I will tell anybody that will listen how to enjoy life. Four years ago I was diagnosed with cancer and told that I had very little chance but I went on Chemotherapy which unfortunately killed the nerves in my feet so now I can no longer walk or drive but I can say that there is not a happier person on this planet. I read my newspaper, I read my book, I talk to friends on the phone and I enjoy my family. Everyone should be told that they have cancer and live believe me you need nothing else, life is sweet.

I've listened to days worth of Watts and heard a bit of this but not all. It's one of the best 5 mins I've heard.
Right? He almost got carried away. Never related to the man more
2:39
You can't have pleasure in life without skill.
There is immense pleasure to learn a skill with discipline.
Inspiration, then technique to express it.
We are fish in water. We don't know we are there!
Thanks Alan. 7 August 2023.💖😇🤠🍒🌟🎖🦓🦓
Alan Watts is an amazing "Philospher" in a very practical way 🤗
He wasn’t just a philosopher. He’s a healer.
Thank you Wiara, for always sharing this great mans thoughts with us. Much love.
Always!
WOW I never knew someone with the same surname with such an incredible insight existed. He’s absolutely right about money doesn’t buy pleasure. I’ve been learning everything I possibly can about renovating houses and its been challenging and down right frustrating at times but I kept on persevering and the immense joy you feel when you have learnt a skill for me anyway is more valuable than money. In the end, I've come to realize that true satisfaction in life often comes from the pursuit of knowledge, the mastery of skills, and the intrinsic joy they bring. While money can provide options and comfort, it's the personal growth and sense of achievement that truly enrich our lives. So, I'll continue to persevere in my journey of learning and renovating houses, knowing that the invaluable reward of self-improvement outweighs any monetary gain.
Stock or options traders who have reached a certain level of skill and don't need the money anymore still enjoy doing it because to them it's just as enjoyable as playing the guitar is for somebody who has reached a certain level of skill with that for example. So while money in and of itself may not buy happiness, sometimes being able to skillfully manipulate it for a desired result.. like you can skillfully manipulate the strings on a guitar or skillfully manipulate and move your body during yoga for example, that type of thing can still bring to such people pleasure even if it's taking place in the financial realm
His ability to share so much of his perspective in just 5:44 is a remarkable gift to those of us who are open to entertain & possibly integrate insights from others. He whittled down his whole life of searching into Cliff Note simplicity & offered it to everyone. Would loved to have shared space & time for awhile with him, his influence raises-the-bar 👍🌈☀
Can't enough of his teachings! 🙏
Tl;dr: It takes discipline and skill to bring your idea into reality, and learning the required skills can be pleasurable in itself.
* Edited for grammar.
Always love these lectures of Alan Watts. Bless him and the channel that post this!❤
Enjoy life ! Avoid beings that will harm you
I got it you too will get please try middle path
Buddha explain it in his first sermon
😂 I don’t care about enjoying life as long I’m happy that’s fine with me . People can enjoy life but that doesn’t mean that they’re happy ❤️✌️
Personally I very much like the eye metaphor. It has to be transparent. There has to be "nothing" there so that you can see.
Alan : " The lens of your eye, you call that transparent, no colour - see? Because you can't it see(!), but it's basic for being able to see anything."
Just take it metaphorically and drift along with this sentence and think about the veil non-transparent thought's, which incessantly try to label all tinx and events. And by that prevent you from seeing and being WITH what is there in the factual nOw.
this will help see me through .
I'm as straight as they come.... but I love this guy.
Me too, 😂 no homo
Gracias. Se acerca al Corazón y deja en que pensar. (Thank you. It approaches the Heart and leaves to think.)
I want to be a word technologist like alan watts but im not so good at writing but i have always been told i am great and super articulate when i speak. I dont know why i cant put it in writing the same way i speak
I'm the other way around
THNK YOU FOR HAPPEINING.❤
Simply beautiful
😊🏴☠️🎈
This is so good, thank you!
Love Alan. Thank you for sharing. And music choice is rattlingly unpleasant. Please consider different types 🎶
Hmm, you take it so nicely!!
Absolutely brilliant
Thank you for sharing
10/3
Very beautiful
Everything is money when in human life.
Everything is physical strength when in animals Life
Yeah.
We are learning about
how to enjoy life
listening to a man
who was an alcoholic
hermit in the woods.
I'm pretty sure
he was enjoying it very
much.
Yeah, he kind of had a drinking problem. Doesn't mean his teachings are worth nothing, you only learn from perfect examples do you
@@taswibislam524
_"... Doesn't mean his teachings are worth nothing, you only learn from perfect examples do you ..."_
Yeah.
My point is that there are no teachings,
at all.
Humans know nothing
about the essence and quality
of their existence.
We just don't know.
This life is joy and pain.
Happiness and sorrow.
(If you asked me personally
it's a bit more on the
pain and sorrow side than
it should be.)
That's what humans know,
and nothing else.
There are no answers
only the questions.
The same way
how Alan Watts is a teacher
you could be a teacher
or I could be.
But I'm more clever
than Alan Watts
'cause I know
that
I am not.
The depth Alan reached while putting it in such easy and simple words for people like you to elaborate theories like that these days…. Oh man…. I feel sorry for you… he said multiple times he has nothing to sell or teach…. Again people like you went and paid to hear him, you’re not worth the effort, honestly:/
@@lifoet25
_"... The depth Alan reached ..."_
Yeah.
I reached a depth, too.
Still it's nothing worthy
to talk about.
_"... while putting it in such easy and simple words for people like you to elaborate theories like that these days ..."_
Yeah.
Talking about nothing.
Pretty easy to find
words for it.
He could just stop to
speak.
That could have been
the same.
_"... Oh man…. I feel sorry for you ..."_
Yeah.
Don't bother with it.
I feel sorry for myself just enough.
_"... he said multiple times he has nothing to sell or teach ..."_
Yeah.
And he said that at their speeches.
Why did he not say that in an empty room
while he was alone.
_"... Again people like you went and paid to hear him ..."_
Yeah.
It's my fault.
_"... you’re not worth the effort, honestly ..."_
Yeah.
I can
agree.
@@gmlgml780I admire , your excellently well structured replies.
You made yourself clear. Precisely that's why he, you, me, them, talk. Even though it might be not worth the candle for another persona neither involved nor interested in what is said.
And true, Life remains unknown but the living itself is what we're all familiar with. And to provoke you a little bit one might even say : We're all experts in the field of living.
Every 1000 miles a flower. That's what we see bcs we cannot see the astonishing appearance of dust under our feet.
Sail ⛵softly good Sir
🎆
👌
I. DON'T. KNOW. ,I. HAVE. NEVER. ENJOYED. THE. LIFE. .👽🤞
Wine?
Music is distracting
The music is beautiful, I love it together. Go go another channel you fool
What does he mean you can’t live life without skill? Some people are rich with no talents and still enjoy life, what about them?
I know many really rich kids who never had to work a day in their lives. And they aren’t happy. They do drugs and complain and live in a poor little me world. Unless they find. Skill or discipline to enjoy. Life gets boring and you feel useless I think. ❤

Money can’t buy happiness, but it can buy a 33 Ford roadster and that’s pretty damn close 😎
i used ro think same, but once get what u want, You start to want something else
@@windsofdestruction Not always. There are still those of us who employ the word satisfied, even content, rather than happiness. btw, my Ford was a '34 Coupe with a '57 Imperial 392 hemi...back in the day. hahaha
Money can't buy happiness, but having no money probably won't make anyone ecstatic either.
@@elyzius7725 Maybe you ought to plan a visit to India, where your comment is untrue. I witnessed tremendous happiness and joy from people who lived with a dirt floor, no window panes, with meagre food rations.
@@jageo48 Please tell me more. Would you know what their mindset is that grants them happiness despite their poverty? If you know the answer to this, I feel that sharing it in a way that others can apply it to their lives would be a very important step towards heaven on earth. I am not being sarcastic. I really want to know.
For one to acquire skill one would need to possess interest
I don't wanna know. Don't care!
Isn’t it a wonderful thing? To think of Alan on his next go around making the world that much better?
Hmm ... anybody know when Russell Brand’s birthday is? Maybe there’s a connection there 😂
Watts died didn't he,.....
Didnt he end up an alcoholic?
Yes, he was. I heard he tried to quit drinking several times but couldn't.
Alan Watts was a trailblazing philosopher who took Christian teachings, Buddhist thought, and even personal experience with psychedelics to present a cohesive fusion of ideas that were bold during his time. He had the gift of gab, able to explain philosophy in an entertaining way, which accounts for his popularity. I don't know when or why he turned to the bottle. Maybe he felt that alcohol helped his ideas flow out faster, or maybe he was harboring some deep emotional pain that never healed. I can only guess at the causes.
If Alan Watts could see how his talks continue to entertain audiences in this day and age, the old rascal would probably grin from ear to ear. He was what Mel Brooks would call a "standup philosopher." I reckon he would have been satisfied if any of his speeches stimulate your brain, but if any of his ideas actually helps you in life, then you benefit as well.
It breakd my heart when ppl say mr. Watts was an alcohic, he was so much more. He left this world with the most insightful words. If he was an alcoholic that is none of my business.
@@colettecan❤❤️🩹❤ he simply was that good, regardless. And i'm certain that if he really wanted to he could have gone full monk mode
I wouldn't believe otherwise
No expert.....
Wasn't he an alcoholic. I really don't u derstand how he could be am awakened teacher.
He simply was that good
An alcoholic telling me how to enjoy life. nty.
He was wise beyond your understanding. Nobody ever gathered in a classroom to listen to you did they? Lol.
Wow, you really don't listen. Sounds like a skill issue
Why listen to him.....
Why ask an empty question‽
