He's speaking about the proverbial nothing, but nothing is not the same as an empty space. By definition, nothing cannot exist. I get and support the necessary existence of opposites, but nothing is not an opposite of something. Nothing is the absence of anything. But then again, Alan Watts is a famous cherished thinker and I am just an idiot...
Yes, solid requires nothingness. However, emptiness does not need solidness. It is our mind cannot perceive nothingness as that is not how our world exists.
If nothingness doesn't depend on its opposite, we wouldn't exist. Modern people are weirdly uncomfortable with the idea that our existence is a necessary consequence of something beyond us.

Alan was brilliant but a man of his time. Our world is measurably level across its entire expanse. We do not know it's full extent or where we really are. He was a man of the fraudulent space age. I want people coming here to think again about this world.

An observant man said man is a bad animal. Sadly, it can be argued that he was right. People seem incapable of living in peace. The Christ taught a good lesson which we struggle to live by. World peace is a hug away! Shame on the human animal...
I am pretty sick but whenever I try to face the emptiness my personality and ego go 911 on me and panic sets in. Alan seems to have managed his ego sense It takes a lot meditation or courage perhaps both to face the unknown.As I said I am not well but our police state will not provide me the means or circumstance to overcome my attachment to a truly painful life.I cannot acquire the meds to live life or leave it.Sometimes I think I can’t leave this life for some reason but that is probably ego talking.Any government that will not refrain from interfering with right to life/ death issues is facism.
Alan was but a man. He was addicted to vices like drinking to cope with the pain of life. He just understood life a bit better than the average joe, and that in itself was painful.
Let's talk about "If I should die before I wake." If others die before we are also awoken by the death of those things which maintian the idea that we will lose our true selves we would never have existed in the first place. 🎉
You mistake something for nothing. Nothing can't exists. Something can. For something to exists there must be a something to begin with. That means that something has always existed. That something must be capable of creating THINGS that mirror it. Creative attributes. Images of itself.. The universe came into existence as something. Created.
@@sunkintree you just ruined your your argument when you said SOMETHING CREATED GOD...THAT MAKES NO SENSE..WHAT ON EARTH COULD CREATE GOD..answer is nothing..
something is a concept. There's no such thing as things. a thing is a property that our mind does to label things for the benefit of our understanding. Therefore, everything that we can see is nothing (not a thing). to be a thing, there has to be a percever to label it. nothing is a concept, but it's more grounded to reality because there was never a thing to begin with. for this reason, in order for the universe to be infinite, it has to be nothing because if it didn't, it would be finite and limited. so it is nothing. There's nothing to keep it limited, so it gives freedom to be anything.

we cant even describe it without giving nothing a set.
the malice of inanimate things is interesting 😊
Variety is the spice of life
What is the original name of this talk, please?
This is not Allan Watts. This is A.I.
@@pixelplaygroundrevival6039 Shit, it is? This A.I. crap is getting out of hand. I figured this was a tape I hadn't heard yet. Are you sure this is A.I.?
Are you sure this is A.I.?
I thought it was mostly nothing
@@pixelplaygroundrevival6039 how could you know?
"You can't get something out of nothing.." haaave you heard of the big bang?
but there is a notion of not having existed at some point and now we do exist. either there is non-existence or we must have lived forever
What year did he give this talk?
When I can afford it I'm doing a thank you for this video
Thanks
Appreciate you David❤🙏
An observant man said man is a bad animal. Sadly, it can be argued that he was right. People seem incapable of living in peace. The Christ taught a good lesson which we struggle to live by. World peace is a hug away! Shame on the human animal...
The added text is just wrong sometimes. Varit instead of Variety... etc
I am pretty sick but whenever I try to face the emptiness my personality and ego go 911 on me and panic sets in. Alan seems to have managed his ego sense It takes a lot meditation or courage perhaps both to face the unknown.As I said I am not well but our police state will not provide me the means or circumstance to overcome my attachment to a truly painful life.I cannot acquire the meds to live life or leave it.Sometimes I think I can’t leave this life for some reason but that is probably ego talking.Any government that will not refrain from interfering with right to life/ death issues is facism.

Alan was but a man. He was addicted to vices like drinking to cope with the pain of life. He just understood life a bit better than the average joe, and that in itself was painful.
Spinoza talked about substance. Watts echoes that philosophical tradition wonderfully.
Oh my goodness, this is insane hahahaha
We’re all gonna go nuts trying to figure this place out!
Let's talk about "If I should die before I wake."
If others die before we are also awoken by the death of those things which maintian the idea that we will lose our true selves we would never have existed in the first place. 🎉
Profound. Inspiring
In the beginning the World worked without human hands, and in the end the World will work again, alone.
To produce humans, as it did the last time
All you have to do is close your eyes.
52:08 Bro just casually dropped "Lebensraum" and just called it a German word LMAO

@@darrenscott1111 how about my finger in your ear?
Indeed, he is right. Nothingness into allness.
You mistake something for nothing. Nothing can't exists. Something can. For something to exists there must be a something to begin with. That means that something has always existed. That something must be capable of creating THINGS that mirror it. Creative attributes. Images of itself..
The universe came into existence as something. Created.
Something came from nothing. That's the fact although it's hard to believe
@@yungdkay1008 god is always something..the universe came from it..therrfore something
its not necessary to have something. Something came from nothing. That is the fact. Its the nature of something, that it will come from nothing.
@@sunkintree you just ruined your your argument when you said SOMETHING CREATED GOD...THAT MAKES NO SENSE..WHAT ON EARTH COULD CREATE GOD..answer is nothing..
something is a concept. There's no such thing as things. a thing is a property that our mind does to label things for the benefit of our understanding. Therefore, everything that we can see is nothing (not a thing). to be a thing, there has to be a percever to label it. nothing is a concept, but it's more grounded to reality because there was never a thing to begin with. for this reason, in order for the universe to be infinite, it has to be nothing because if it didn't, it would be finite and limited. so it is nothing. There's nothing to keep it limited, so it gives freedom to be anything.
We need more weird people. Keep it weird 🎉
Before my comment there was no comment from me
@@minnesotanice369 So deep wow
A bit disappointed that there are *so many* ads. It interrupts the content to the point of disruption of continuity.
@@lillith665 You need UA-cam premium if you don’t want ads. I wouldn’t watch UA-cam at all without paying for premium. I’m watching this video now and there are ZERO ads. I cannot stand ads either but if you want no ads then you need to pay. The choice is yours.
The channel needs to make monies for their time and supplying these videos. Majority of us can’t use the time to work for free daily. 🤷🏽♀️
I’ve found if I rewind it just a bit I get the flow back quickly. 😊
@@lillith665 yess.. that's why I bought yt premium..... It's pure gold...... ♥️♥️♥️♥️
NO EXACTLY OPPOSITE, ALAN MY CHILD !
I am alive like anything and I DO NOT 'ACT'
There is no NOTHING in the universe. What looks like empty space is full of stuff we just can't detect.
Yes, particle pair theory has shown to create pair of particle-anti particle into existence. Only need energy. 😊
agree
We don’t know, and likely we cannot understand this.

Is this a real audio or AI?
Pretty sure it's real.. Just enhanced to remove the background noises
Ai, I was listened to another one where he was talking about smartphones...
@@mateuszrydzik7666 don’t think ai breathes like this video? Could be wrong
Alan...woman wont mind when i explain to them...
He was a comedian as well 😂
How to disappear completely

Can't believe people are saying this is AI😂

99% of space is empty. Soooo out of nothing comes something. Or sooooo we think.
A universe that is aware of itself is God.
🙏🏻
Speak.
easy
Alan Watts and ads don't mix man.
A tree is much more than wood
Are these AI constructed voice oice or are these actual lectures recorded? Can't tell these days
@@kazechan1o1 AI for sure
@@kazechan1o1 this is AI but there are tons of original Alan Watts on here
@@chrisfamos on here being this channel ?
I know everyone here is saying its ai, but i am most certain this one is real, I’ve heard it before ai was a big thing
@@mojoryse7836 I am with you on this.
The neverending story. The nothing....
Alan Watts is buddhism if it was a 17 year old white kid in america
Soy milenial. Tengo 42. Mi plan de retiro es guardar feria pa hacer una fiesta de despedida. Jalar la banda y echarme los últimos tacos a gusto con mi raza. Dedicarle un día a cada unx. Y luego que me ayuden a morir en una cama rodeada de mis amigxs 🖤
No quiero quedarme a ver lo que el capitalismo hace con los viejos.
This is AI not Alan Watts
Seems more like nothing
...was everything made by magic out of nothing?..or does it only exist because our senses says so...can consiussness exist without matter...was life an entropy of un-organic matter vice versa...
The universe doesn't exist! Because it only exists by the sum of its parts! Same for anything! A BMW or example! Ancient technological thought! In another word, dharma! 🙏

Ever watched the dog you love die?
They go so fast.
Not enough years
Your best friend is gone
It seems like he never existed. Only pictures
That’s the only thing that proves he existed.
People are the same but a dog never had a bad thought about you.
What is the point of life except to live now.
They dont go fast ....a dig can be alice for 12 years....we are getiing slower.....îs just time perception.....and we as humans invented time....time only exist to measure speed...so the slower we get (Boeing older) ....we perceive time going faster.....but its the same...
I wonder who recorded this. Sometimes I think some of his talks are AI generated, these days.
I wished I'd be....
life doesn't exist.. it's void
maybe proof read the flashing subtitles next time
The fact that nobody talks about the book whispers of manifestation on borlest speaks volumes about how people are stuck in a trance
I really hate those types who go, why aren't you like me? when they've done NOTHING remarkable besides being created
Reject the Mark of the Beast (666) Believe in Jesus Christ for Salvation~!
The earth is f,lat and motionless tho -_-
