So another words what you're telling us is welcome to the Grand Illusion right just like the song from the song from the band Styx welcome to the Grand Illusion
@@simplyvibinn5417 , I'm really trying to understand how suffering is Grace, and can't correlate the two. IMO, the only aspect of Grace as it pertains to suffering, is death. How is one unserious in life when emotions are attached to our experiences? Is this an inherent trait, that we've pushed back into the recesses of our "being", or is it a learned discipline? Please, make it make sense.
People go to such great pains to find the meaning in life, but the meaning of life is to live. If you're here, you've already arrived, there's nothing left to it but to live. It's such great conceit to think that the meaning of our lives is any greater than that of an ant's life, or a worm, or a blade of grass, or any parasite or fish in the sea. We're all a part of the same dance, doing exactly the same thing.
The capitalist society has taught us that we need to be serious in life. We play the game not because we want to; but out of necessity. If we don't play the game, then how do we survive? The game distracts us from our originality and creativity. We are drained of our time and energy; distracted by the pressures of finance, health, and societal expectations. One only needs to look at the root cause of these pressures; politics, egos, and past traumas of world powers. The hyper rich that suppress our freedom. The ones that pull the strings to squeeze the most out of our existence for their own benefit. Feeding us only the ideologies and expectations that they can exploit us with, and to distract us from what little is left of our individuality. Our so called modern society. Stay strong, friends; decide on your own game, and play it to your heart's content.
What most stuck out for me is the anxiety humans produce worrying about what MAY happen but probably wont is analogous to children scaring themselves in the dark... Wow
I look at the color of your hair and the shape of your eyebrow and I understand that, that IS the point! That's what we're all here for, and it's so plain and it's so obvious and it's so simple.

Man suffers, only because he takes seriously, what the God’s made for fun ~ Alan Watts
God is a sadist then…
@@meatmachine449 there's another perspective you have when you lead the unserious life. suffering is grace
@@simplyvibinn5417 very true. Theres nothing to take serious its just a game.

@@simplyvibinn5417 My question below, was intended for this person. I apologize for any confusion!
I understand this. But how to stop stressing about what's happening in the world.
Reduce or even avoid social media and tv and spend time with positive stuff
It is not greed but rather, it is fear, that will imprison us all. Worry is preposterous. Everything unfolds as it must 🙏
Like a wave.
Yes, beautifully put 🙏 Shanti
Ah but we have choice (apparently) so have the fear around making a wrong choice.
@@deadreckoning6288 not necessarily. people can surmount such a thing through meditation
Are you saying that free will is an illusion?
@@kdbrewAll your senses will tell you otherwise, but yes. Ultimately, reality is what you perceive it to be 🙏
The meaning of being alive is just being alive…
Yes enjoy the ride

I love this man.
The game is hide and seek, lost and found.
The insides and outsides are one.
When I blame my ideas about the reality I have created, I remind myself to L❤️UGH…the JOY of the
WORLD is my strength. Thank You.🤪peace+&-🌸

And keeping people constantly fearful
@@Jack-r2v9b divided, fighting over ID politics and fearful... that's it
I keep watching this one... Lessons are hard in this life. People play games with love, and well it carries with it a numbness.
Don't play the game
Making my best effort to be a background character.
With occasional fuck you's to the ego-gi's or those who do not eat popcorn.
Is that you John Wayne I am wood.
Stoopid.

@@cheri238 dragons cool but also I don't like learning fighting game combos I like smoking weed
I love how Alan basically believes that a person is a part of and an extension of the cosmos and himself
We're all connected
ALWAYS BRILLIANT! 😎👍🌹

Ok, where's the audio without the background music???
I wish you add a English subtitle it makes it much easier for Non-English speakers like me
In order to remember, we must first have to forget!
I see the door and i go to it but how shall i go through it i ponder. I scream for help but find only me. I need to find peace in this.
Always common sence...💪😎👍❤🙏🇺🇸
Biarlah orang nak main game..dh hobi dia..kalau ada kena mengena dgn kita tu lainlah...kalau tk ada kena mengena biarlah je lah dia..
I needed this tonight.
❤
Alan Watts is SOOOO much better as just audio
What is the music used at the end ? I loved it
