  • Alan Watts says that "Existence is a function of relationships." That we crave connection not because it's something we need to build, it's a discovery of something that already exists.
    Scientific studies have shown that looking into someone's eyes for 10 minutes can actually change your consciousness. That's how hard-wired we are for connection, even if we may feel introverted and alone.
    Take some time to hold eye contact with someone and see how it changes you.

    My wife an I sat down one evening long ago and gazed into each other's eyes for 10 minutes. We decided to try the challenge about a month after we started dating.

    Been a follower of Alan Watts for decades. He was, and continues to be an insightful soul.

    I love Alan Watts! I listen to one of his lectures almost every night as I fall asleep. His philosophy has changed my life.

    This is what we need! Emphasizing the importance of spirit/consciousness (the common denominator), without dogma/mental constructs (illusions) dividing us. Great!

    Alan Watts is the man! I have a few of his books and listen to him at night going to sleep. There is also a lot of Alan Watts chillstep our there that I highly recommend.

    Beautiful, Joe. The world needs more smiles, laughter, and hugs. How do we achieve this? It’s as easy as one minute of connection. 🤟

    Did this when I did the Landmark Forum, an international course about what it is to be a human being. Powerful stuff. You'd like it Joe.
