      Just breathe.
      Breathing is involuntary.

    Listened to Alan Watts at 14. Don’t know what it is that made his words resonate at the time. It helped me through my suffering. At 31, his words still soothing and still helping me through my suffering. A lifetime of suffering is bearable derives from his teachings (I’ve since added lessons from Dostoevsky, Kierkegaard, Nitzche, and Bible in the last 17 years). I might even say these lessons make the suffering meaningful.

    He simply stated what is, has always been , it's a matter of discovering it within ourselves, that's upto us to what lengths we are prepared to go to do that, it's not an easy path but it's a beautiful and peaceful one, as I've discovered 'aham brahmasi'- I am the universe! It's the eternal truth which our culture teaches us everyday. We & everything around us is impermanent, once you accept this truth everything becomes simplified and clear but to truly accept this is tough. As the Gita says- it's not that I do not own anything, it's that nothing owns me, once we understand this we are everything and at the same time nothing

    Among other teachers God sent on my way, this one by far is the most closest feeling to really be the channel of the Spirit of the universe, the Creator Himself...
    Truly truly generations are deceived and missguided by music, wrong rolemodels, and some, some schoolsistems....

    I do enjoy and find Alan watts inspiring ... the music was distracting in this video. I think I'd prefer to listen to his longer discourses .. with quieter or no music

    Alan was so right about all of it. Jim Morrison had similar insights to how technology will be our downfall .!!! 🙏🌌🙏

    Watts was an alcoholic. But that doesn't mean he was any less of a philosopher - in fact I admire people like him and say, Hunter S Thompson who can function so damn well off of multiple influences. I know for sure I don't have that ability
