  • Alan Watts believed the basic principles of meditation were a form of centering oneself in the Eternal Now, employing the use of watching, breathing, and chanting to relieve one's consciousness from discursive thinking and thus experience reality as it is, as distinct from the way it is described - so coming to realize one's own identity with the eternal energy of the universe.

    “Perhaps the foremost interpreter of Eastern disciplines for the contemporary West, Alan Watts had the rare gift of ‘writing beautifully the un-writable’. Watts begins with scholarship and intellect and proceeds with art and eloquence to the frontiers of the spirit. A fascinating entry into the deepest ways of knowing.” - Los Angeles Times

    Good to hear his voice without disturbing background music. Like him so much.

    7:37 "Meditation is a kind of digging the present; it's a kind of grooving with the eternal now." Coming from an Eastern background, I really love the way Alan translates the practice of meditation into his own playful and lighthearted attitude on life.

    A great teacher is one who makes problems simple and therefore, disappear, i.e., Alan Watts.

    Wow... It's meditation listening to Alan! I dissolve, and his voice and entertaining dismantling concepts flows. Please please please Alan Watts Org. Please, translate this in Arabic for the whole of Middle East 17 countries to have fun with this! please, 17 countries will understand all this in one language. Arabic. I would love my family and friends to listen to him and understand him, I try to convey to them some of his ideas, but it's never the same as getting it all from the man himself Mr. Alan! Everybody, I mean it! everybody is interested in what I have, I direct them to Alan, but their English isn't that good, including mom and dad and very close friends of mine, Translate his work to Arabic, it's a must!!! please do ASAP. a s a p. Love u Alan!❤

    Yep we are here and now, but ritual and ulterior motive structure behavior so the mind can either groove or rest ,while still preserving and promoting ourselves.
    Even the most meditative monk unfolds his legs , and eats.

    Nice to just hear his voice unaccompanied by some kind of swelling, new age music that distracts from his message. That can be nice from time to time, but it's quite overdone...
