Between alan watts and ram dass these two have opened my eyes my mind and my heart to the world and the living the now moment and depression and anxiety disappeared almost like magic to this realization. Can never stop listening to alan watts on repeat
Love Alan Watts, his laugh, his trenchant but effervescent sense of humor. Thank you for this. Makes me so grateful for technology, albeit a double-edged sword, that we can still hear his laugh and enjoy his wisdom with the illustrated splendor of After Skool
Every time I listen to Alan Watts I always have these deep laughs. The way he breaks down all kind of modern day dogma just with a few cunning sentances is something that can't be repeated.
In this world of pain and fear spiced with some joy and happiness Alan Watts is my grounding to what is. He is that connection and offers real relief and purpose. Sigh, living in the "now" is where we find reality and occasionally it is touched.
I hope this new year brings you joy and prosperity. If you like the art in these videos, please consider supporting After Skool on Patreon. Every little bit helps tremendously. Thank you! www.patreon.com/c/AfterSkool
After Skool thank you for uploading these talks and the awesome visual drawings you create with them. A lot of AI generated talks are popping up especially with Alan watts and it’s nice following someone you can trust 🙏
Agreed. And thanks to his son, Mark Watts, for all the criticism he gets from lovers of Alan, he and Ram Dass' 'Be Here Now' Foundation have ensured his unadulterated and un-edited words travel on. I am so thankful to have been listening to him before all of the AI/modified lectures. Though, unlike perhaps many fans, I do very VERY much enjoy some of the musical combinations of his words and electronic pairings that have been coming out this past decade; as long as they are his actual words.
I say to myself, no-one is chasing me for money or anything, I don't owe any money or anything, I have a good balance, I am in good health, this moment is great, joyous, I am super happy, thanks to God 🎉 and I immerse myself in the here and now.
This comes at a perfect time, I just saud yesterday I want to be more present in life, live more and think less. Enjoy my children as they are and not trying to rush to an easier season. Be more easy going with change. Thank you for sharing this.
It's been five years now, since I first discovered this man through this channel and since then my live has never remained the same.. His profound insights was like nothing I've ever seen ❤
Yes! Over the past decade, I've listened to and read from so many wise people in our shared past...but none seem to come quite close to the way that Alan's words resonate with what Is (for me).
Alan watts and terence mckenna opened my eyes, when i was ready for it.. i am eternal grateful. Alan watts with his happy life wisdom and mckenna with his clever planting seeds of fantasy ❤❤❤ Take care, give love ❤️🔥
We live in an eternal now, life is an Omni event. It's up to you if it will be positive or negative. So stay positive and focused. Peace and Love to all! Thank you for this video After Skool. I'm sure myself and a whole lot of other human beings needed this message NOW 🙏🏼
I automatically upvote for Alan Watts. After my venture into Psychedelics, his words and writings revealed to me who I Am. Thank you Mark 🙏. Your art and podcasts are really Something!
Thank you for this. Alan Watts changed my life, turned me from a negative perspective to the complete opposite. Life's good life's great let's celebrate! 🎉🎉🎉
I have the Collected Letters of Alan Watts. I find him wonderfully brilliant. The "eternal now" is a great and perfect way to think about the world. Life is empty and meaningless and it is empty and meaningless that is it empty and meaningless. What there is right now; this instant. And we create a future to live into and that gives us our selves right now.
It’s been awhile since I’ve watched one of your videos but I’m glad I stopped to watch this one! Hopefully I can remind myself of what he said longer than a day or two.
May I say to the creator of these illustrations. I’m am so grateful that God, the world, the universe, all of the above. Has blessed you with the patience and creativity to sit down and illustrate these. I undoubtedly know I can do the same but by the time I’m probably 30. I would have to commit and truly want this for it to happen. But I don’t want to do that. Not right now at least. So with that in mind I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR YOU. I can not express it enough and I love what you (and the team if it is one) have to offer. May we work together some day. In Jesus name. Amen.
Thank you for the time and effort to create this! Your videos have been really impactful and it is artistically beautiful as always. Much appreciated 🙏🏻
I am sure many of us, including myself, thank all of reality for the existence of helpers like you 🙏 In his earlier years, my former 83 year old therapist studied under Ram Dass back in his Harvard days, and was one of the most powerful and caring influences in my life for the year and a half I met with him each week. He also enjoyed some Alan Watts in his time. Keep spreading the good news =)
Thank you for your pure heart and intentions to make a difference in the world with your content! If you have any time and energy, please share more of these ideas which are truly matters!
You just live in harmony with nature. How much one can do this depends on those around him. Some people have much more leeway. But growing without leeway is what developed me into who I am with the knowledge and wisdom that I have… overcoming that pain and utilizing it each day… and yet no one listens… Because I must not know what I’m talking about if I’m still in a cage right? Wrong. It’s not my doing. I took and always take responsibility for all I am responsible for. Peace.
Good News! i discovered that the brain/body is capable of setting itself Totally Free of fear, anxiety, sorrow, despair, loneliness, shame, guilt, confusion, contradictions, addictions, irritations, triggers, vanity, envy, greed, jealousy, attachment, possessiveness, ill-will, hatred, cruelty, bias, prejudice, and all other mental/emotional disturbances, in each and every moment of daily life, 24/7.
This gives birth to True Love, Peace, Happiness, Creativity, & Clarity, for the very first time. Not the love, peace, happiness, that the I, the me, the self, the thinker, the mind, imagines it to be, which is a limitation, imitation, and distortion. For the very first time, Soul is happening, Spirit is happening, Heart is happening. It is not temporary. It is happening in each & every moment of daily life, 24/7. It does not take time. It has nothing whatsoever to do with time, effort, or choice. It occurs faster than the speed of light. The children are ready to be set Totally Free at the earliest age so they don't waste their whole life with any mental/emotional disturbances.
Fantastic artwork and story telling combination! You knocked it out of the park Mark! Thank you for the good vibes! Blessings to you and your family! ✌🏼❤️🌱
Alan Watts always had interesting lectures to listen to, and interesting observations to be heard. He was right, many people become trapped in the image they’ve created of themselves, a construct they cling to, whether it’s based on reality or pure fantasy. This image, shaped by fear, societal expectations, and ego, becomes a cage they build around their true essence. Unaware that their authentic self resides outside this prison, they confine themselves to the limitations of their ego, mistaking the cage for their identity. But within every soul lies the potential for liberation, breaking through the bars of self-deception and fear. True freedom begins when we dismantle the illusions of who we think we should be, allowing the soul and mind to align with the truth of who we are. Only then can we transcend the constructs of fear and ego, stepping into the boundless reality of our true selves. Great work and excellent animation as always ‘After Skool’
Thank you so much for your content. It truly is a blessing for us that you are following your nature. For to be interested in spirituality/awakening/whatever it may be called, and to mix this with your talent in drawing and storytelling is unique. It is not by luck that you have many subscribers and many pleased viewers. Thanks again for sharing.
5:28 Not only is Jesus the Son of God, me too, am also the son of God (Hebrews 2:11, etc) So, I yield the warning, "Do not be anxious..." And this had really granted me the inner peace that even the Kung Fu Panda was looking for. Alan may have meant to be sarcastic, but this is my reality. And thanks for this superb message to start 2025, AfterSkool! Here is to a year fully lived in the present!
More Alan Watts please. Dude changed my life.
You changed your life. He was simply joking ;)
@@accadia1983 You're right. He's such a joker!
You should hear his podcast being in the way.
you did it!
Same here
Between alan watts and ram dass these two have opened my eyes my mind and my heart to the world and the living the now moment and depression and anxiety disappeared almost like magic to this realization. Can never stop listening to alan watts on repeat
Wayne Dyer as well. Love all of them!
Agreed! Give Joseph Goldstein a listen if you haven’t listened to any of his dharma talks.
@ will definitely check them out thanks
Same for me! 🫶👌🤍
Love Alan Watts, his laugh, his trenchant but effervescent sense of humor. Thank you for this. Makes me so grateful for technology, albeit a double-edged sword, that we can still hear his laugh and enjoy his wisdom with the illustrated splendor of After Skool

let's see. Only if comments aren't deleted.
My Comment > > > Here again *Ten minutes of eternal BS.*
Your algorithm likes that he's dead😂
Every time I listen to Alan Watts I always have these deep laughs. The way he breaks down all kind of modern day dogma just with a few cunning sentances is something that can't be repeated.
Glad to see you find your inner god brings joy to everyone my friend!
In this world of pain and fear spiced with some joy and happiness Alan Watts is my grounding to what is. He is that connection and offers real relief and purpose. Sigh, living in the "now" is where we find reality and occasionally it is touched.
Starting off the day with Alan Watts, love it!
also perfect here for evening meditation ;)

Chasing something is like saying something is more important than being yourself. There is nothing more important than being yourself.
@ginosalihbegovic7137 You are correct, I don't give anyone the privilege to disturb my inner peace and tranquility 🤔
This comes at a perfect time, I just saud yesterday I want to be more present in life, live more and think less. Enjoy my children as they are and not trying to rush to an easier season. Be more easy going with change. Thank you for sharing this.
I love this blend of audio wisdom and visual art. One of my favorite channels I've encountered on UA-cam.
one of my favorite youtube channels, spiritual teachers and concepts that i intentionally live by combined into one video🥲 i feel so blessed🤍🌙🧘🏽♀️
It's been five years now, since I first discovered this man through this channel and since then my live has never remained the same..

The mind involves the material world and the spiritual, it's the world we persevere and the others who have the power to twist reality 🤯
What a legend!
Dominion (2018)
I love Alan Watts!
Really love after skool and Alan Watts - wisdom combined with fun animation ♥
1. "A Reflection on Inner Peace and Spiritual Renewal"
2. "Finding Serenity: A Prayer for Mind and Soul Restoration"
Do not focus on not sinning but instead focus on Loving, for then you will find what you seek.
Thank You!!!!!
We all needed this.
Uncle Allan always bringing knowledge bombs. Thank you!
Grateful that in my eternal now, I get to enjoy another Alan Watts illustration by After Skool 🙏 preciate ya

So true and much wisdom ❤👌🏾😁
Wonderful! I've heard him talk about this topic many times, but I've not heard him describe it so beautifully in other talks. Thanks
Excellent
Halfway true, there is a heaven, therefore hope is endless, and actually more full of depth than love and faith

The way I clicked this so fast. I didn’t even know who he was but I LOVE his work that’s been presented on your channel. Thank you ❤
Oh man what an amazing visual you are bro :) perfectly accompanies watts beautiful description of the world
Thank you
Thank you
for this
The only sad thing is that I can only like it once.... If such things were allowed, I'd grow five or six more thumbs, just to like this.
Cheers 🙏🏻
Life as it is now… 💲💲💲💲and more clutter. I connect with nature as much as I can.

Brilliant. Great start to the new year. Thankyou. ❤
Another winner.
Thank You x
Did anyone notice that Alan Watts became Ai lien whats? Lately.
These Alan Watts talks are so genuine.
I just love your channel 🤗 Thank you for sharing art and wisdom. So valuable.
Alan Watts always had interesting lectures to listen to, and interesting observations to be heard.
He was right, many people become trapped in the image they’ve created of themselves, a construct they cling to, whether it’s based on reality or pure fantasy. This image, shaped by fear, societal expectations, and ego, becomes a cage they build around their true essence.
Unaware that their authentic self resides outside this prison, they confine themselves to the limitations of their ego, mistaking the cage for their identity. But within every soul lies the potential for liberation, breaking through the bars of self-deception and fear.
True freedom begins when we dismantle the illusions of who we think we should be, allowing the soul and mind to align with the truth of who we are. Only then can we transcend the constructs of fear and ego, stepping into the boundless reality of our true selves.

Loved the yin yang illustration. Beautiful
5:28 Not only is Jesus the Son of God, me too, am also the son of God (Hebrews 2:11, etc)
So, I yield the warning, "Do not be anxious..." And this had really granted me the inner peace that even the Kung Fu Panda was looking for. Alan may have meant to be sarcastic, but this is my reality. And thanks for this superb message to start 2025, AfterSkool!

No waiting, just accept the moment.
08:48 he lets one rip😂
Thank you for this comment. I don't think I would have noticed that if you didn't. I needed that laugh.
Sounds like 2 💨
Removes all your doubts about being AI 😂
I love you.
This was such a good bit!❤
I can see the change I really can
The title of this video is something I've said to many people when asked, "What's eternity?"
Sorry, not the title: The Thumbnail.
Please do one from Abraham Hicks 🎉 thank you
This Is perfect ...no religion or other shit needed
This guy & Ram Dass 🙌🙌
❤❤❤
"Sexing around" got a good chuckle out of that. Thank you for the video.
more often than not, i find myself at a loss for words and broke
The skull eating a dollar on top of the stack of cash and jewelry goes really hard
🔥❤🔥
It's been a long time since you've posted an Alan Watts video how dare you make us wait so long
ha!
Best part of the video is the absence of background music
Wonder what Alan would say about what's going on today. 😅 Thanks, After Skool. 😊❤
loved the angry mob yin yang
The perception of now, is the combination of the past and future. Or if you like, yesterday and tomorrow.
your animations are always great. i noticed the eye of sauron and 5G towers in this one. 🤠
The be here now podcast Network has an alan watts series called being in the way cant recommend it enough.
Well done, must dash💨off to Patreon now👋
I've been listening to the Zen Studies Podcast by Domyo Burk. She teaches Soto
