#alanwatts #awakening #spirituality #meditation
The audio of this video has been enhanced to be more clear and enjoyable. It's part of an original Alan Watts lecture, it's not AI!
I noticed this with the "gong" sound as well!! Thank you for working on the quality to already an incredible message 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Hi
Can you please post a link to the original source? Or details of time and place?
"Enhanced" sounds like AI.
Thankyou, from my heart ❤
Is the art AI?
It’s GREAT not adding music!! For good reason Alan Watts never intended for music to guide the emotive feeling when hearing his words.
"If you take words to seriously youre like a person who climbs a signpost instead of going where it points." - Very true and thats why you will never find the meaning of life in a book or by thinking. You can only expirence meaning by living your own life.
Alan, like Ram Dass, Eckhart Tolle, Sadhguru and Mojii are a medicine for the suffering of the mind, none of them were or are perfect, some have had terrible loss, some lost everything, some died with addiction but what they all KNOW is that ultimately none of the good/bad/ugly matters, our consciousness will always triumph over any conceptual pain or problems.
A hug to my fellow travellers ❤❤❤
Not really on Sadhguru. I don't think he even meditates.
@@GrubKiller436 Then you're thinking wrong. He strongly advocates for meditation as a means to achieve inner peace, balance, and self-realization.
@@GrubKiller436phony self-help guru
I feel Osho and JK are missing from this list, sure there are many more but they stand out for me
I love whenever he hits that singing bowl. That's real silence.
Don't jump on the train of hate. I have a similar issue in my gut whatever you want to call it I'm 32 I've drank since I was 15 and I've been sober you know like 6 years off alcohol back and forth on the other things regardless just a human being with all the other crap that other human beings have I have a little more Dark Side than some and when I stumbled upon Alan Watts I was healed in some sense from my Western philosophy of spirituality and during my journey I found him profoundly useful and continuing to learn about him and his life I was honestly pretty bummed out to find that he died drunk basically lost and floating in the opposite of everything that he preached one thing that I try to remember above all else we are not perfect we are not humans and those that cannot do teach that doesn't mean he could not do that just means he wasn't doing what he should have and the people that should have been around him weren't my advice is just take positivity for what it is I keep watching these positive things or listening to all these educational things about mental health and spiritual wealth and you know what in every comment section we're all arguing and bickering with each other and it's so hilarious because if there is an afterlife they would be cracking up about how we're arguing with each other over philosophy spirituality peace and love
Well said Sir .
I read somewhere that he knew he was dying
Yeah, I read he knew he was dying and there was some idea that he committed suicide. His son talked about it
Loser druggy
Ya I believe he knew exactly what he was doing.
Alan Watts was brilliant, and his voice so soothing to listen to when you need to wind down. Crazy to think he's been gone since the mid 70's, so much of what he said is relevant today
I listen to him at bedtime to get me gently off to sleep ❤
Truth is forever, lies are in permanent
this dude has been and always will be my grounding rod when going through hard times. i lost my dad suddenly on Christmas. I've shared his talks with my mother to help her stay calm a night. he can really bring you back down to earth when you are losing your mind.
1973 RiP
This AI Alan Watts. He really didn’t sound like this.
It's a pure pleasure to listen to Alan Watts. Such a music ❤
“We imagine ourselves to be results of the past”.
Alan watts , where were you in my life 20 years ago. Thanks for your wise words.
Reality is not something that just "is", it depends on what you seek and how you are. Your search can make you change.
Thanks so much leaving the music out!
Allan Watts was the most brilliant mind and a mystic of the west. He was far far ahead of his times. I would give him the title MAHARISHI ALLAN WATTS. Once you listen him you can't escape from him. It is the trap of the Universal Mind.🙏🙏🙏🕉🕉🕉
I learned all this from meditating.
We are very symbolic beings.
I love love love Alan Watts!
me too
You cant learn that from meditating 😂
@@huubdrums maybe you can’t. Anyone who has truly looked, knows the answers are within.
@@kuru2599 you make me sad 😂
I have thought even further…he is wrong about language having meaning. “Meaning” is only in the mind. Not in the world. There IS not language n the true reality outside of experience
Many are criticizing Alan for alcohol "abuse." I highly doubt the majority know his story accurately enough to point fingers. At the same time there are hallucinogenic substances widely taken that allow for intense transformation, yet most would not touch them either.
People are quick to judge and dismiss.
@ryanvandy1615 correct, because humans are ignorant and can be highly stupid most times. They would rather project how they feeling, instead of just observing.
why would that even matter? i dont think alan watts ever claimed to have reached total enlightement where wouldve been free from all human desires. I doubt that someone has reached that point ever and i dont even think its a goal one should have.
@@sorenlampe951 maybe he reached it and saw how pointless was to do or not do something so he just drank away regardless.
I love that Alan lived life fully drinking smoking drugs women god bless him wonderful man
Just love here. Too much evil exists. I am one of many who sees the best of all things and I am here to spread the truths. Anyone else know Terrance McKenna?
The real thoughts will come to mind when you just let yourself be
Props to the audio engineer who saved this audio. Fantastic work. Epic content as per usual from AWW.
Props ? what the devil does that mean.?
@@stewartlancaster6155 In the context of a CZcams comment praising an audio engineer for a remastered video, "props" is a slang term expressing approval, respect, or admiration for someone's work or achievements. It is short for "proper respect" or "proper recognition."
When someone says, "props to the audio engineer," they are essentially giving credit and showing their appreciation for the audio engineer's skilled work in enhancing the sound quality of the remastered video.
Other similar expressions include:
- "Kudos to the audio engineer"
- "Hats off to the audio engineer"
- "Credit to the audio engineer"
These phrases all convey a sense of praise and acknowledgment for a job well done.
Thanks for your work and time, I'm lucky to be here with you guys, peace and love to all ❤❤❤
True definition of an artist that has evolved... We living in a beautiful time... Watching and listening to this was soo therapeutic.
Glad you enjoyed it
Not fan of self help gurus but I had to comment on the wonderful art work Mr. Watts consistently has on his channels. Whoever is responsible, Thank You, sometimes images lift the spirit, where words can not. I can always tell one of your videos just by the look. You rock.
9:24 spoken word is "conceive" text is "perceive". Love me some Alan Watts!
Beautiful video visually. Alan Watts is one of our greatest teachers.❤🎉
This guys voice is so soothing. Im totally zoned out.
It’s ai generated voice off Allen
@@maxmustermann7807do you have proof of that? You can normally tell when a voice is AI, this sounds like the real Alan, so do the words.
@@eliassmouni1245this is definitely Ai are you dumb
This is such a beautiful visual for Alan Watts words. Thankyou so much for taking the time to create it. ❤
Sweet teaching even as you can hear it’s one of his earlier ones.
Really great, just a few things he matured to greater understanding about.
If you’re new, keep listening!
Reality is what stays in existence with or without us.
- Arturo Gonzalez -
What is existence “without” us?
@@samuraijack1371 Why are humans required? Earth existed before humans came along.
@@Martin-88we existed in the earth before we came along
"Thank you for the sharing. It's so inspiring. 🙏👍
"
I HATE this crappy world full of crappy people and all the egos
.
Real silence
Wow
And yet when you Google the word "meditate", it says the complete opposite to what Alan is saying here. Much love to you Mr. Watts! 🙏🏼
Google is NOT your friend
Thanks for the video. The audio is superb (especially the lack of music) and the clips you dug up show the effort you put in.
Glad you enjoyed it!
These videos are best without music
Great visuals and subtitles. I see a lot of these types of channels, but this had some effort put into it which I appreciate.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very nice!
Congratulations my friend! I'm in the same boat! Hang in there! I'm rooting for you!
Thank you so much
❤ thanks 🙏
La copertina con Alan Watts in versione santino o immaginetta sacra è da brividi!
The audio quality is astonishing premium quality. Well done. I wish i coukd get his long lectures in this quality.
It’s redone with AI. I’ve listened to this original lecture, this is a version retouched with an AI version of his voice. It is the exact same speech ver batim, but that’s not a raw recording of Alan Watts.
@wraveltashgame2608 ohh I thought it was like some mixing and mastering process. Well, in that case, I'll stick to the original raw recordings.
@@leleo5019Luddite! 😅
@@wraveltashgame2608Thats a top notch ai voice clone software.
I love Allen Watts.
This popped into my feed at the perfect time☯️
Very good upload. ❤
Good job cleaning up the audio! Thanks❤
Beautiful
Thank you
His voice is Lion King's /Scars be pre**pared!!!!
Dont stop thinking ,just watch and observe thinking
Yes. What’s thinking is not you, it’s the mind thinking it’s observing.
reality is consciousness
I’m your 527th subscriber and bday 5/27 lolol. I look for patterns in seemingly meaningless things to subconsciously re-remember my divine “awakening” in which I saw synchronicities every time I looked at the clock. I was so blissfully confused to the point I assumed I was Jesus Christ coming back again through everyone’s consciousness. 222 forever ♾️ 👁️ remember remember. Don’t fall back into negative thought patterns so I CREATE my own thought patterns. Even if that means creating patterns in meaningless things
Seeing patterns*. Which are always there, just needs to be perceived to be noticed and making it “real”. Silly
It's all a matter of fiction. It starts with emotion, Thought and instinct, and then we make a decision based on those and then take an action, Then we observe the results of our action through the lens of our own perspective. And that leads to our beliefs. So if all that is true, the only reason that we can't do anything that it is possible to do. It's because we have been taught that we can't. We've been Indoctrinated by religion, Public schooling and Television. If you believe your own thoughts, you can manifest absolutely anything if you set aside. That end up that indoctrination. That tells you all the wrong things and is meant only to control you. Then you can become what you are., A god.
this + a trip
Gods (Name ) means causes too become
example the (universe)
thankyou for your thought
one man sharpens another
I'll have to THINK about that! 😂
if i say i dont have time its realy truth cause as we know time doesnt exicist there for its not wrong ti say i have no time
I love you brother ,R.I.P ❤❤❤❤❤❤
17:10 Simple and powerful.
His timeless words should be cherished... No matter what you think he was,... it's his words not the man... stop looking for gurus...! Get rid of the conditioned Mind... namaste to all 🙏
Love how it ended
No background music, thank you!!
Who is Alan Watts, this is great. 👍
Omniscience, is what it’s all about. Know all that is knowable.
I FEEL LIKE THERE IS SOMETHING WRITTEN ON MY FOREHEAD AND IT'S NOT SOMETHING GOOD !!!!
That was fast 😊❤
I've stopped thinking entirely once before in my life
"...it has no future. Well do you? Much better to have a present, because if you don't it's useless to make plans because when they work out, you won't be there to enjoy them. You'll be thinking of something else." OUCH OUCH OUCH. That would be me. Same thing with getting things I want...
Interesting voice edits
BORROWINGS WITHOUT CONSENT INTO MIND
Yes Mind your own business think less
Heaven.
AI has obviously touched up this audio. Nice and crisp. Thanks
“Well do YOU?” 😂😂😂😂😂
❤❤❤
I only know one thing. I know nothing 😊
Amazing video !! quality information always! I have a question, how does one arrive at a state of No Mind (stop thoughts), what exactly should be done? Thank you 🙏🙏
Hahaha! This is exactly the question. Asking it in the first place will never get you there. 'No mind' is abandoning this question all together. Learning that it is not something you DO but something you let go of, the exact opposite of action. I'm sorry if this is confusing, but I hope this points you in the right decision. When you get there, you will say 'aha!' and you will realize that it's not an idea that can be put into words, only hinted at. And you will get there. Let go, and be peaceful. There is nothing to be done - you have it already :)
Meditation practices, such as zazen, can help with this. Also, in the book "Zen Flesh, Zen Bones" by Paul Reps and Nyogen Senzaki, the last section called "Centering" lists 112 techniques for centering, any of which when practiced have the potential to stop thought.
Thoughts are like passing clouds... the reflection is not contained on the surface of the lake 🙏😲
Sitting in silence until the stillness arises on its own. 🍀
"you can do while thinking"
I have three cars in my driveway, I own two burdens.
What skill yo be able to go in circles forever, grab your attention and never get to a point... without anyone noticing 🤯
That’s why I’ve always loved him. There’s never complete answers only more questions that he brings up for us to think about. I don’t want someone to guide my mind into thinking one way or the other, I just want to be challenged. He never had it fully figured out, none of us does.
In America it's called flow
❤
Not heard this one before
I very well know what not thinking means, but not thinking of this sort needs an ingredient. The society meaning the system allows you not not to think, they want to think and thinking will result not knowing as they can do what they want. They want you think and think as they, the system wants you to be a busybody and forget about essential matter in your life. Metaphysician
It has to do with hearing disabled. Google translate
To reach. Everybody . The message is the same
I dont now but maybe t
Right
How did you make the audio so clear ? 😮
Ai
Only way I was able to trully be in a moment, and not to think is trough the psychedelics. I have never been able to achive it through any kind of meditations. Various breathing techniques, guided meditation, binaural beats, mantras... I've tried it all so meny times for quite some time, but it seams not possible. Maybe it is because of my ADHD. It seams like cheating, but I am glad I have those experiences of oneness, otherwise it would stay very far away concept.
Theres many more like you who cant get into deep meditative states than can.
@10:40 it is 'Dyana' not 'jana'.
"Mor-Tal-UP!"
the way I'm drinkin' you down😊
Sound of the rain needs no translation
IMAGINE, reality without words concepts thoughts and ideas,what reason would there be to believe that you are anything other than what you are aware of.?
What evidence is there ,that there is anything other than what you are aware of.?
Rather large error in transcription: Watts says "You can't CONCEIVE reality." The transcript reads "You can't PERCEIVE reality." (And "perceive" is misspelled, too; but the larger error is the misstatement of what he's saying.)
To the comments from 1 day at a time below what makes you think that Alan Walsh died drunk and lost and wandering yes he like to drink but that doesn't mean that he didn't live his life the way that he talked about living is life that's the paradox so I think you misunderstand when you stand that he stands and lost this just incorrect he didn't drink he like did like to drink and he did for a long time but he know means
Blame is so much easier
What is with the Gong sound near the beginning? It drowns out part of what he was saying…
Will never watch a video that says Stop thinking, stay centered... Who are you to tell me what to do? :))))))) Everyone who reads this - do whatever da fuk you want and be as healthy as possible - have a good new year too :)
To the people saying this is AI generated, do you have any proof?
From everything I’ve heard I could always tell when a voice was AI generated. This has all the nuances of Alan’s voice, both in sound and content.
I am also fairly certain I’ve heard this same speech years ago already.
Yes it is part of a longer lecture ! Not AI at all you’re spot on😊
More like do you have proof it isn't ai? AI has become so good it picks up on mannerisms of speech.
@@MattS-og5zb so now we have to prove that everything isn’t AI? We’re supposed to assume that everything we witness is AI generated???
I have proof! This is actually a speech Alan Watts gave but redone with AI. Alan actually said all of this, I own a set with the original lecture on it. But this specifically is a version remade with an AI version of his voice. There are no recordings of Alan Watts with this high of quality (unfortunately) because of the limitations of his time. Perhaps that’s the motivation behind recreating this recording with an AI voice. Look up the words of this lecture, and you should find a transcript of an original recording posted on the website dedicated to Alan Watts’ recorded lectures.
