He opened the door to philosophy for me. I will never be the same again
I resonate with that too
Its incredibly relieving and beautiful to listen to this man speak. He's genuinely changed my life.
Try Deepak CHOPRA and RABI Blue that's if you haven't already. I think we are here because of Alan , so I think these too might also speak to you.
The path to enlightenment is not a destination, but a lifelong commitment to self-improvement.

How can you improve something that doesn't exist?
Alan Watts was amazing. Love listening to his thoughts. He has changed my life.
Then you are amazing aswell for being able to see feel and understand. Because we all know 9/10 people cant...Be proud of your self my friend.
🙏
I’m so glad my feed rolled over onto one of these videos. I’ve never heard of Alan watts before this past month or so.
He is one of the very few I’ve ever listened too, that made any sense to me at all.
Every thing he says just feels like truth. Thank you for sharing. These insights feel like he is speaking poems strait out of my heart, that were always there, but I was never able to find the words to express them.
I think even being at the beginning/starting is the most exciting when his wisdom is most impressionable. I know much of my thinking was influenced well into listening over the course of the years that occurred in the covid period. Thank you for tuning in , really promising to hear this 🙏
@@watchdiscover thank you for sharing. He has completely captivated me.
🥰 I’ve never felt like my heart has ever been completely understood before. The people where I come from are mostly
labourers.
I didn’t know that people who thought and felt like this even existed, and have lived my entire life thinking there was some thing wrong with me because no one else around me ever felt these things.
I’ve always been so confuse, and annoyed at how no one else seemed to knows these things, that all seemed so basic and Simple enough …that every one should know. 🤷🏻♀️🤯🤪🤦♀️🤣🤣❤️☯️☮️🦋🖖
He’s is an eye opener. Honestly I’m happy for you. I have been watching him for years now.
i know a few claussens...they have good taste...
I notice myself being able to understand Alan's lessons. Simply friendly approached. I think peaceful bc he understood the life has each one Giants I could respect. The second thought in sizes and levels are really huge. Life itself represents a life time. I can successfully believe in believing happiness. The eye of the truths will not be forgotten. Expertise made a whole lot more sense. Thank God it what was for real and nothing or no one can say bc I see my purpose as he talks about everything super important. He gives me the answers like humans from far beings would able a force to dispose before. I see the importances with his care for selfishness he knew how I was never argumentive or stubborn bc he knew I will care like I care. My good senses got recovered and I honestly will never forgive myself if I couldn't say my last peaceful words. I say
" Thank you very much and i see meaningful minds that exists and gone to the next life unliving in our years made a whole space of freedom I can live life more easy and simple. Lord I thank your words I asked you guide my light.
He so wonderfully and poeticaly abke to put things into words better than most for themselves .
His voice is so relaxing. So glqd that my feed Rolled over onto one of thèse Video
Thank you for tuning in
What a Legend " ...., Amazing listening and recollections of today ......, Thanks Heaps for the BLAST " !!!! .... got the grey matter pumping 👍👍✨✨🌎🌍
Absolutely Everything is nothing, and Nothing is Everything ... when we understand we know nothing we know we know Everything ❤❤❤
Which is to say we know nothing?
@@bobhope5114 we'll that's something... or was it.. weeeeeee

Huh? U been watching movies
@aWoman Freed life is a movie. Pretty decent one to. Three times better if your perspective is clean.
Good morning Faith community..let's have a blessed and productive Sunday..🙏💯🌅❤️
Transcends time still so relevant and poignant even to this day
He might convince me to become a buddhist I just don’t have the time as of now to put slot of effort into it. Work and school take over my life but listing to his voice has helped me understand that life is a game and you really need to play it the right way. I have many goals and ever since I have listed to this man speak for the first time I’ve done nothing but push myself to complete them. Some have taken longer than others but the past few years of my life have been extremely rewarding due to all of my accomplishments. I can say I enjoy living unlike how I felt when I was younger and felt as if life was never going to work for me.
You are whatever you want to be right here and now. If your Buddhist then your Buddhist. No rules against it. No rules for it. Just be my friend 😊 your happiness doesn’t require a manual.
Love the mood with this combination. ❤
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my CZcams channel 6 months ago about self development. Now I have 501 subs and > 100 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.
This is very inspiring to hear, the beginnings of the process with the channel are the hardest I think, but also is the perseverance, but that perseverance should be tempered by your enjoyment and personal reward . Otherwise the process becomes torturous. Such is the backward law Alan Watts once spoke of
@@watchdiscover I sincerely appreciate such kind words! When I was a kid, all I wanted was to have a career that pays well so I can buy whatever I want but now that I’m grown up and went through tons of setbacks from losing tons of people in my life, getting lost in the world with full of life traps, being ridiculed for pursuing my dreams, and so on, I can say that long-lasting happiness can’t be bought or earned because it comes from within us.
Continue to grow as a person and I’m so glad that you’re part of this journey! I’m hoping to upload my next one this month, which is more than an hr long. I’ve been working hard for many months now to present it in the best way I can while keeping in mind that I can never make it perfect. I hope that you’ll enjoy it! Thanks so much for your support!
You’ll get there brother
@@Tritionoblivion Whoever you are, I don't know you personally but I can say that you're one of the non-judgmental and open-minded people who is not fixated on tangible or external factors in order to learn from someone like me. Just because someone doesn't have a piece of paper as a credential, doesn't mean that person is not entitled to share personal experiences with the hope & intention to inspire others. Keep up with whatever it is that you're doing to improve mankind or improving your life even to a slight degree each day. This is just one part of a bigger puzzle for creating my CZcams channel about holistic health. I literally could have died back when I was 14 years old due to major depression but here I am right now replying to you, a CZcamsr, who's full of fulfillment and dedication to help others to be a better version of themselves. I ain't better than anyone else but my old self. That's all that really makes this CZcams thing more meaningful and enjoyable. Thanks so much for your support! I am hoping that you can join me with this endless personal development journey! :)
Who else steps back and views society like this?
Society is just a ponzi scheme
The artwork in this thumbnail badass
One of my favourites, definitely fitting for the video!
Understanding your place in the pattern❤️
Exactly, we are nothing but wiggles and scribbles
Thank you Sir Alan Amen ❤🎉❤
When you know your true self you could enjoy your life.
To “know your true self” isn’t what most ppl think….
What is it then?
@@livondiramerian6999 it means to find out if u have parasites
@@zerocool4159 right, cuz everything in the Bible is so rational
So relevant for what is going on right now!
I never heard this talk before, very good! Cheers.
Alan Watts is a treasure
This is a great video. Keep these Joints coming. I appreciated this video.
Thank you kindly 🙏
I’m grateful for this. ❤️
I am grateful for your watching and supporting, thank you!
wasnt expecting to see a cod youtuber here
Pure gold!
Ty Mr watts🙏🏻
It's you, the mountain, the grain of sand ,the atom, the galaxy, the planet, the tree, the blade of grass, etc all at once, us.
The Whole, poking Its head in to see Itself all at once - being in Itself, of Itself and through Itself - by Its own nature.
Such is the dream of life, the nature of which is that of the Mind (electromagnetic) - vibrations upon the ether in the same place at the same time, from the perspective of the Whole...
What else can the Whole of all being do but look inward?
There's nothing outside Itself... but more of Itself.
Such are you and I.
I am you as you are she is we are all together - the Beatles circa 1960
From the bigger picture, there can be no right or wrong, but only contrast to the picture - dance - music... game, in which there are no winners or losers, but only the game, which is ever changing.
To understand the nature of the game is to relax and enjoy.
Make your own music. Play your own game.
In the dream of life, there's only one and it's you.
To be yourself and choose to be happy is to allow yourself to become as you will.
Just realize that the electric (light) and magnetic (darkness) are two sides of the same coin (Mind).
To destroy "the Devil" is to destroy "God".
One cannot be without the other.
You are the Source of your world - your universe - as you're creating it... the lead character in your own story, as you learn and grow and become according to your own unique experience, which is the whole point of the dream of life.
We're at once, the Self contemplating Itself, and the Self propagating Itself, in, of and through Itself.
All exists by its own nature.
Beautifully put, had to save this to my notes ❤
You have done poetic justice to these profound words of wisdom
@@zephyrdreamer Thank you.
My extreme pleasure.
@@watchdiscover Thank you.
My extreme pleasure.
The way this video ends... 🤯
This man is everybody’s saviour👌
Allan Watts, I get it, let go but the bills, but let go, but let go, haha. This game is fun, though. Full of heartbreaks and all of the highs! We are just really nothingness that got bored and want to play. :D
*Alan 🤨
@@MarkDemarest sorry, fellow human
@@MarkDemarest What is your issue?
Imagine if we all didn't pay bills that would be funny. I wonder 😂
@@chasethetruth2030 Bills and human system (work hard, play hard scheme) is collectively designed by us to give meaning to life. Some just really get depressed and go to the misery hole. It's meant for play, competition, and reward. Life is meaningless but human life meta gives us reason to do something.
Imagine if you wake up the next morning.
You have everything that you want.
Money
Fame
Women/Men
Power.
It would be fun the first day - week until it depletes your hormones and then you will be back to the baseline that life is truly meaningless. There's a lot of successful/rich people out there that is problematic.
Anyways, there's an upcoming disharmony within humans that threatens us as a specie. I hope that we overcome this as a civilization and continue to evolve.
🙏🏻🙏🏻
Sorrow hate sadness being angered. Let go.
💙💙💙
The lecture doesn’t need annoying background music/ noise.
It does
There's plenty on CZcams that don't have it
The music is perfect but again we are all deferent you don’t like it but I do ,so all you have to do is find the same message on CZcams or somewhere something that suits you ❤
🙌
i love this man so much❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂
Make more videos like this with different clips on trees nature and wind blowing 🎉❤
In my mind
So the message is just give up on life and let go of it because we all just die in the end but life does matter while we are still alive So heaven and hell are right now and just try to enjoy enjoy the game.
That which matters continues ‘matter-ing’ irrespective of our conscious acknowledgment of it, but we leave ripples in this even after we are gone, from bringing life into being to creating a groundbreaking theory that influences the world. but the art is in not trying to clutch to that, or as he says it , you cannot clutch to water , the harder you try the quicker the water escapes from your grasp. Death is mattering to, it’s just the flip side of the coin of life and death , whichever side you choose to focus on more strictly . That’s at least my interpretation
You don't necessarily have to give up on life. You have to realize that your it, once you realize, there's no more problems, because there's nobody to have a problem(separate ego). As far as life and death they are two sides of the same coin, you can't have one without the other, one implies the other. It doesn't matter if you(your ego) lives or dies because it goes on if you live or die, you just go on as something else. ❤️
the way I see it, nothing matters. Ok that's established. So the answer to the question of why should I live is "why not?". Its our nature to want to live and so even when we let go of needing to live, we do so anyway just as a meteor zooms across space or a tree grows.
❤
My take on the reason of life is it nothingness got bored of the eternal silence, devised existence as out of that boredom, and devised this perfect creation where logic is not flawed (infinite) you and I are guest in this eternal realm where matter evolved to biological machine to penetrate the wholeness and its challenges. Entropy is the greatest villain that we need to conquer and defeat. We need our specie to survive. We need to conquer ourselves. Just as how space expands to nothingness, as long as specie multiply then it will call infinite souls to fill up that matter body as guests. Where does space expands to? Nothing. We does your soul come from? Nothing. So take pride on your matter life as a guest and fulfill your purpose in a good way. There's no good or bad, but the will to survive is in our blueprint. Otherwise this massive ocean of resources and great intelligence of existence will be wasted away. Let's give God a good life and battle! Entertain the Universe and the cosmic dance! Good luck, humans!
Yup …boredom simplest answer is usually the right one..I think cats know but dogs dont😂🫶🏻♾️
@@Imawiggle Cats definitely know! I love how cats don't give a fuck and clearly you can see that cats just pass the time in their existence. And they casually be affectionate when they feel the urge. XD
@@needheartranken exactly they don’t give a Fuc!., Lol We work for cats ! Dogs work for us!..simple😆
@@Imawiggle But man, speaking from the bottom of my heart - I just want to graduate from this existential questioning and resume to become the best human that I am. I conclude I'm a deist, and man, whoever created this whole Universe or the source is totally a very powerful and beyond words! It is perpetually created and well maintained. The laws of physics never fail in our everyday lives. It permits all to resume lives, save memory, and pursue and everlasting motion. For me, God's greatest invention is the illusion of self and free-will. The illusion is so believable but I know we are His fragments down to the quarks and elementary particles. Also, Free-Will is something I still doubt cause even though thoughts stream in our head and we chose what we observe, we don't really have much choice 'cause we are governed by invisible forces of society. I can't just choose the be the president of the United States or become the next Ed Sheeran, haha. Anyways. This creation is magnificent! Though it is hypocritical to say it is balanced 'cause there are souls out there that experiences hunger, being bombed, killed - etc. We're just luck to be in that middle ground. Either way. I hope humanity - or at least consciousness survives and defeat the ever staring Entropy!
@@needheartranken ha I can’t even come close to articulating my words as good as you
It’s beautiful!..we are of same mind.
We are pure energy ..one eternal being
Lots of people suffering tho
I AM very very grateful 🙏🏼
Life is only a stop point

You know how you're always going back to checkpoints? This whole life is a checkpoint. I wondered a couple of nights ago that there was no such thing as wise, as in the eternal wize.. If there was, then we would not feel beauty, truth & love anymore. These things will hurt us all your life, for what to hurt us. ..If you are wise, Why would you be at a checkpoint? You couldn't be able to be at a checkpoint if truth, beauty & love you could not feel anymore.
When you're too wise, you can't detect checkpoints.
📖✍️We Did it!!! Come see!! *Drops to knees & cries*.
Here we went back to the source of life, but we went further back, to The Source Of Variations Of Source Of Life. & he said "You're not wise. I am wize." & he lifted me up in his hand & blew me back to the source of life. & we were the source of life at the source of life. I opened my eyes, & I was back, sitting at my table, comparisons as much as the comparisons I draw, a tool, like my pen. God is the word. ..

Last time I checked there were only X and Y chromosomes (male and female)
True. And yet billions of human’s with not a single woman or men that were ever identical. Seeing only black and white, you miss out the spectrum of things. That is a fixed point of view - a hang up.
Fyi i dont think there only 1 way is no hang up. Lol
Allen believes in jesus christ,yup you bet he does
Hallelujah
He sure did but not the way most people do.
AI?
Nope
Music underlying Alan speaking is a gross distraction, and if he intended music to be there he would have put it in there himself. It’s so frustrating when people think they’re adding to his words by placating most peoples inability to pay attention, and just listen to the message… Take the music away for crying out loud, it does nothing to reinforce the words.
Don't let your ego get in the way of how Alan's words are spread. All is available if you follow the right current.
