I played this for my mother when she was dying ❤️🙏🏽❤️ My mother checked out fearless.
I'm sorry for the loss of your mom 😭 I have lost my parents and most of my family and friends that I love and miss.. now I am slowly dying from cancer
Sorry for your loss. This is probably the best person anyone could ever listen to while they are at the end of life
@@user-ex4si2md6r I lost both my parents to cancer. I'm sorry you are going through this.
I'm sorry for the loss of your mother 😭 and my mom died from peratonitis as I held her hand in ICU and then suddenly 😳 she opened up her eyes and looked up into my eyes and I was perplexed 🤔 by this.. until my friend's mother said:" it was because she loved you that much 😔 and I cried 😭
Damn bro...♥
"Life has no opposite. The opposite of death is birth. Life is eternal."
For every action, there is an equal & opposite reaction!
The opposite of life, is space.
Everything is eternal, but at the same time if you try to grab it its already gone. Like the eternal now.
I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it. (Mark Twain)
That sounds very romantic until you actually think about it for 2 seconds.
@@steelyman08 Sorry, steelyman, but ontologically it makes no sense to say something that exists is ever taken out of existence. You're just gonna have to get used to it.
@@ryanashfyre464But it's true. When I die, there will be no more _me_ as this unique system of memories. It just comes to an end, so how peaceful. I don't fear it, I actively hunger for it.
@ass81 What you just said not only presumes that both your conscious mind and memories are products of your physical body (for which there is precisely zero actual proof), it flies in the face of any number of extraordinary phenomenon that seem to lend very strongly to the idea that we are *not* our physical bodies.
Examples would be the millions of numbers of near-death experiences (for which physicalism has no actual explanation), OBEs (out-of-body experiences) the research done into purported reincarnation (for which I reserve ultimate judgment on, but which is quite interesting), etc, etc.
I mean you're just out here presuming to know the truth of reality and what life and death actually are. W/ all respect, dial the arrogance back.
@@ryanashfyre464 The majority of people who 'die' do not experience OBEs or NDEs. They experience nothing,
🤔😉😊 I have cancer and my momma and daddy are gone now and I have lost many people and friends that I loved 😍 so much ❤️ but 🤔 I'm understanding from Allen Watts that it's all good 💯
Had cancers too, life precious as what is next is, enjoy the now 😻😻🥳😊
@@MadonnaGrogan 👍🆒😉💖 just..." Go with the flow"💕🙏☮️🌎

I don't fear death. I fear dying.
Maybe I was actually listening for once. Wow! There are too many clever word mongers out there, but this was so steady and coherent. We don't really understand until it all sinks in. It takes a while for the words to settle and have meaning. By the time it all ended, I was listening, not just hearing. It was more of a feeling than an abstraction. Now I begin to understand how well he communicated that which is very hard to express. The religion & monarchy section was excellent.
I have no fear of death, but in fear of leaving my loved ones behind

【Shades Finnish Pirates】Magnificent! I as a christian think the same way, i am so happy that my younger brother suggested mindfulness and especially Alan Watts to me
Words are amazing and devastating the way they are used is the the choice of the user ❤

🌟 What a thought-provoking discussion on the intricate dance between life and death! The speaker's insights about consciousness and the dual nature of existence really got me reflecting. Life truly is a fascinating rhythm of 'on' and 'off' moments, and it's a perspective shift that opens up new possibilities.
Enjoy every day of your life and dont fear the death that is coming you can make each day joyful no matter your circumstances alway stay positive and be thankful you had a chance to experience life as death is definite
Mr. Watts was such a sincere man and so clear in his explanations of subjects. A wonderful human ❤
I think this is one of the first bits I heard of Alan Watts. I can hear these things over and over and never get bored of them and usually can get something new out of it.
Always love when I hear new speeches of Alan Watts. But I always learn something new whenever I re watch his older videos
Some die thinking that they have never lived, some live thinking that they will never die. A person's worth is measured by the worth of what they value. One will always die, it's living that takes real courage.
YES 👍💯 I have been living on/off the mean streets for seven years 😔, then I had bad case of sepsis and was in hospital 🏥 for almost a week and then the cat scan showed them a mass in my left side lung 😦 and I now have lung cancer and it's a bummer because it is only a matter of time before I die.. but 🤔 I'm grateful for everyone and everything in God's word 🌎💞🙏☮️🌎
@@user-ex4si2md6r Lung cancer is what got my dad. I am so sorry. I saw what it did to him and no one should have to go through that.
It takes courage to die as well. We never know the depth of others feelings & pain. I feel that we should stop judging and respect what ever choices others make
This video contains such astounding insights, so well articulated. It's funny that you can find this on CZcams and hardly anybody pays any attention to it.
Thanks Alan Watts for your perspective of our existence connection within this vast space. And Living on this speck of land has its challenges.
His books are amazing.
Wonderful.
Thanks for the heads up to the unknown as I am grateful for you and the lecture of the place I am going to be whatever my lung cancer will end my life 💘
Alan Watts was one of the greatest philosophers and thinkers I've come across. His talks have helped me more than anything I've heard throughout my life.
Wave cycles.
Life is continuous, even in death, because you don’t know you are dead. All you ever know is life.
Enjoy the nowness
Very well-researched and fine-made video this is.
I was “watching” my tonsillectomy as 6 y/o from over the table. I also saw iridescent curtains of colored light all around me. They were flowing as though they were alive with colors.
Then I came “back.” This was in 1948. I had NO idea what this was about, but I WANTED TO GO BACK!
Years later as an adult, I got lost at sea off the coast of HAWAII in a scuba accident. All alone. Nothing but swells and sky. No land. Just sun and ocean.
I swam around for two hours. I heard a “voice” in my mind to use my scuba mask as a reflector to catch the sun. It was my first dive. I had no idea.
I was not frightened or terrified. I couldn’t understand why not. It should have been the most terrifying moment of my life. I was expecting to die by lack of water and exhaustion in about 24 hours. Probably by drowning.
I am a surgeon. I had no “illusions.” It is almost impossible to be found at sea. One’s chances are less than 10%.
The only reason why I was not terrified was because I was already dead from an ether overdose during my tonsillectomy, and severe hypoxia.
I already had cancer. I was not afraid of death then either. Or now.
Fear of death provides an important defense mechanism. But after one has already been dead, enough to have an OBE, one loses fear.
I don’t think religion has anything to do with it. Except that the “voice” I heard was most likely supernatural. Otherwise I never would have been found.

Quite interesting. We see through a key hole and we think to know everything.
Thanks for sharing!
When someone has the experience (that many have had!) Of speaking DIRECTLY to a so- called Dead loved one, "life after death" becomes both obvious & ABSOLUTELY REAL! Many know this yet most FEAR IT!
Oh well...😮
exactly how did you speak directly to the dead ?
Interesting thoughts thanks!😊
I love life, making it cheap by any thoughts of a life after death are morbid , to the last degree!
It is essential to Rethink about life and death and understand the importance of embracing both the tangible and intangible in our understanding of existence and the self as it challenges us to broaden our perspectives beyond traditional views, fostering a deeper harmony with the universe.
At 216 years of age ive been thinking of death quite a lot recently
Ha ha ha 🤣 I'm sorry but I have cancer and I appreciate your comment because I almost died laughing
If we cease to exists we won’t know any darkness, or light, or sensation. Yet if we eternally exists as energy there is zero pain associated with that, zero neurons to process pain, or fear, or perception. For all those sensations are physical.
Thanks That content do
The true content of this video, i.e. Alan Watts' words, are fantastic, as they always are. However, the person who made this video didn't understand what he was saying, as can be seen by the many, many mistakes made in the subtitles. If you're going to go to the trouble of producing a video like this, then surely it must also be worth the effort of asking a native English speaker to transcribe the words so your subtitles are correct and make sense?
I agree.
Incorrect subtitles piss me off so much. I turn them on for everything even though I am not deaf or anything I just like reading the words as I hear them.
What a bunch of whoooooeeee
Whoever is reading this, never give up, God is with you
Thank you, God is with you too! GOD BLESS YOU AMEN!!!🙏🏼❤️👑
Till where..😔😑
God, will god stop me for committing suicide like I plan to soon.
Thanks, I needed this.
Thank you man
Opened my mind! Thank u ! U r the best content creator. Do u agree guys?❤
Motivation Madness? Decent channel but he didn't create this talk. Still, I'm happy to see people post Alan Watts talks
Is it software that misunderstand his words. 2 or 3 glaring places the print did not match his spoken word. Alan might ask, "does it matter?" But it weakens your "product?"
Eternity accordingly to Michel Di Sclafani 85. I was the sky and I was the sea, I was the wind and I was the tree. This is why I know that I was, I am and through the atoms of my body I will always be. Under the protection of a mysterious God.

If you think you have it, you're the farthest from it. If you know you will never aquire it, then you've got it.
To die is to go to sleep but you don't come back.
There's 8+ billion people would say your wrong.
@@JustReed and they would still be wrong.
@@prestow
They say ignorance is bliss.
@@JustReedAnd it is. Who wouldn't want to have an afterlife, I would. But since I choose reality I can have many rebirths in this life.
i think you mean wake up again not came back
4 real 👍
Spiritual ideas may help you feel better; however, listening or reading spiritual material will help you momentarily; unfortunately, you will go back to old patterns of behavior that keeps you in a passive comfortable state of being. You must be involved in a serious study and work group to change your basic character, from an ego mindset to an awakened intelligent spiritual being.
There wouldn't be music without the pauses.. Perhaps the death is only a vacation from forever living.. Alan Watts went on vacation too early..
Death is sleep, only one not wake up.
Imagine the year before you were born don't worry about it
Hmmmm, You have me thinking. Hope person gaffing is ok
I have don't fear death I fear leaving my parents and animals
I'm awake on soon I'll be asleep off and won't care sleep is the cousin of death we all need a break
I'm not scared of death!
That's another rabbit hole
Good talk but impossible to listen to because of loud distracting music with special effects added to distract even more. Really don't understand why people ruin talks they put on CZcams? 🤔
He lost me when he started going on about insects thinking.
I have a feeling Watts was high AF when he recorded this.
Always enjoy this man's philosophy..but there's always people coughing all the way through his talks..!!!!
I really don’t give a stuff about this life at all, never ask for it, never asked for this absurdity ,problems with yourself, problems external, outside of yourself, problems everywhere, so many issues so little time, can never have enough blasted problems, an eternity of problems, i don’t want peace I want issues and problems always, silly, very silly, I can’t have enough problems at any one time,
Buddhism? I don’t feel nirvana…is the right course for me…

When you die for keeps, the "real" you the soul either ends up in Hell or Heaven. If you want to end up in Heaven and partake of the many blessings God has in store for those who believe Him, then you must pray the following with conviction:
"Dear God in heaven, I come to you in the name of Jesus. I acknowledge to You that I am a sinner, and I am sorry for my sins and the life that I have lived; I need your forgiveness.
I believe that your only begotten Son Jesus Christ shed His precious blood on the cross at Calvary and died for my sins, and I am now willing to turn from my sin.
You said in the bible that if we confess the Lord our God and believe in our hearts that God raised Jesus from the dead, we shall be saved.
Right now I confess Jesus as my Lord. With my heart, I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead. This very moment I accept Jesus Christ as my own personal Savior and according to His Word, right now I am saved. Amen."

Womp womp
Jesus says that if this world was real, then God could not be real, and if bodies were real, God could not be real.
Someone wrote that...
😂 👍
Whats up with the coughing?
People cough in lectures. Plus this was recorded like 50 years ago.
I don't give a damn what you Bible Thumpers say I have the motivation and the madness--- and UNIVERSAL CONSCIOUSNESS!!!
It’s just words, empty words. Without believing in Jesus Christ and that he is Lord and that God raised him from the dead you will die in your sins and your soul cast into outer darkness for eternity. I don’t want that to happen, I want you to be saved and live forever in paradise in heaven as Jesus promised we who believe in him would. Why not do it today, believe he is Lord and that he rose from the dead and paid the price for all our sins while you still can. You have nothing to lose and eve thing to gain. I hope you do.
@@alextaylor8776 Isn't there a Trump rally you should be attending?
HOW CAN GOD THREATIN SOMEONE WITH ETERNAL DEATH,THAT WELCOMES THAT DEATH?
AT THIS POINT GOD NOLONGER HAS POWER OVER THIS PERSON,YOU'VE REMOVED HIS POWER BECAUSE YOU NOLONGER GIVE A SH*T.
THE ABSENCE OF LIFE IS NOTHINGNESS.
NOTHINGNESS ISN'T ANYTHING TO FEAR.
A LIFE WITHOUT GOD AND A LIFE WITHOUT ANY PAIN IS TRUE LIFE!
Without Jesus Christ and his sacrifice on the cross there would be no hope for anyone. You can’t get to heaven without believing that Jesus Christ is Lord and that God raised him from the dead. That will never change and there are no exceptions. Jesus said broad is the road and wide is the gate to hell that many shall go and narrow is the path and small is the way to heaven that few shall find. If you haven’t asked Jesus to be your Lord and God and believe he is Lord and died on the cross and rose from the dead three days later why not do it today while you still can and then rejoice in being eternally saved. It’s the only way!
Oh puleeze. Do you run around the internet doing this?
There is no hope for you not for me…

This is what Islam teaches but people don't understand
It's the religion of humanity and the observation of humanities religions. There is something terribly wrong with what we read and what we see with those that read. Something terribly wrong!
@@JustReed of course man
Jesus Christ is Lord and eternal salvation is through him and only him!

In a story, that's true. In reality it's just not true.
