Here is the speech: "A person who thinks all the time, has nothing to think about except thoughts. So, he looses touch with reality, and lives in a world of illusions. By thoughts I mean specifically, chatter in the skull. Competeral compulsive repetition of words, of reckoning and calculating. I'm not saying that thinking is bad, like everything else its useful in moderation. A good servant with a bad master. And all so called civilized peoples, have increasingly become crazy and self-destructive, because through excessive thinking they have lost touch with reality. That's to say, we confuse signs, words, numbers, symbols, and ideas, with the real world. Most of us would rather have money than tangible wealth. And a great occasion somehow spoiled for us and less photographed... And to read about it the next day in the news paper, is oddly more fun for us than the original event. This is a disaster. Or as a result of confusing the real world of nature with mere signs such as, bank balances and contracts, we are destroying nature. We are so tied up in our minds that we've lost our senses, time to wake up. What is reality? Obviously no one can say, because it isn't words, it isn't material that's just an idea. It isn't spiritual, thats also an idea, a symbol. Reality is this..." -Alan Watts Note: This took so long to write, but its so worth it. Has to be one of my most favorite speeches of all time.
I don't care what you say. It is non of my business just like your opinion is Mon of my business after all it is only what you think So no point in voicing your opinion
@@IANHANDSquit being a dick dude, people come here for inspiration not to hear you spew negative shit, why did YOU need to say anything? You literally went against what you said to them
My favorite part is that he uses simple words and even sometimes stutters so this really shows that it's coming form his heart, that it wasn't scripted. Nowadays everything is scripted, planned because people are scared of saying something wrong, but, In reality, the mind and the heart creates the the best speeches. The best quotes the best everything. Everyone is scared of going against someone's opinion. The mind only speaks its belief, it's thoughts, it's opinions. You shouldn't care what others think, the only Important thing is to agree with what you think. Going against you brains opinion is destroying the whole point of consciousness. Don't be scared, because the mind creates the best thoughts. Creating new opinions can be done, but not when your not sure of it. -Me 2023
That late night drifting through the internet and overthinking brought me here and I don't wanna leave, thank you for this masterpiece, your choice of music was perfect for his speech and really gives it magnitudes more emotion and meaning ❤♥️♥️♥️♥️
Before I get another comment regarding this... I DEEPLY apologize for the music being louder than Alan Watts voice- I made this video two years ago and I had no expectations of it acquiring viewers; as someone in the comments has said, it ultimately depends on the setup you have when listening to this video, for me, I can hear the words & the music perfectly fine- rather, I could. Back when I made the video everything was fine, obviously since time has passed, I've acquired a different setup and sound system, so I can sympathize with your guys' complaints. Again, I'm sorry that the video is disappointing to many, but at the same time there's nothing I can do now.
This is still my all time favorite speech from Alan Watts. This speech originally brought me to tears and was the basis of my transmutation. I began a better life after hearing his words. Self betterment began that day. Soo many years ago.
Thank you for this. I've been needing this. This last few years has been traumatic and I catch myself overthinking quite often. Listening to this feels like a break between all this chaos.
@@nexavah "A person who thinks all the time has nothing to think about but thoughts, so he loses touch with reality" I felt that 😅 I'll probably be here often. I used this as an ASMR last night and fell asleep with it playing, and it's 2am and I'm back here again. Much appreciated. 😏✌️
Blessed One, there is a book titled Reflections on Life by Jonathan O'Quinn. In it you may find a sense of peace and Stillness in quiet reflections. Be at peace my friend...
Thank you for this man. Music in the background is great. Played this 4 times - call me crazy but dealing with severe overthinking right now and this is saving me.
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 461 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.
Most of us have a problem whether it’s ocd, bipolar, or adhd. Most of us can not treat these issues because each of us have one or the other but if we teach each other how to love and care and heal one another then the world will be at peace and not in the bad way. We just shouldn’t die or kill this planet we need to save this planet because the planet being gone would be the destruction of many things maybe the universe in itself. So we all need to stop at our own tracks at a certain point because torturing the world is worse than torturing yourself. Loving yourself can only make you love the world just as much. That’s why I love myself so deeply and the ones around me.
Im having a tremendous time lately, i needed these words. This isnt overthinking anymore, those are facts, and I need to stay sane, i seek wellness. And these words works. These words are not "you're so dumb and stupid" so can motivate me, THIS motivates me.
I think many poeple dont have the right equipment to listen to this. I can hear everything clearly while vibing on the music. Thats what makes it beter. Perhaps everyone hearing is different or maybe im overthinking again. Because why am i writing this comment cause it has no point at all. Hmm most be overthinking
I think the music in the background shouldn't be as loud, takes away from the actual message. I do love a light ambience of music behind his talks, this is just a bit much hard to focus on the words
Appreciate the words, but as you can tell by the upload date this is exceptionally old. I've since then improved on my editing ability & audio creation / combination.
So I will follow the way I see is fit and what it is making me feel. I will transform myself to be the greatest my words transform my thoughts. And my thoughts transform my words in other words I transform my reality because I know which words to say and which words to act on. I know how to live life in a better way and that’s by making myself joyful and to love life. Not hate it that only brings chaos.
Almost feels as if I’m being stalked and my thoughts are being manipulated by this man who’s speaking in this phone. It sounds as if this man is trying to make me sound whatever he thinks of me and I don’t know if that’s good or bad but I don’t like how he laughs and the ones around him. Makes me feel as if he really is against me.
I think a lot of people are trying to protect me but I’m not allowing them to and I think a lot of people are tired of dying and fighting over me and for me I think this world is getting tired of me. This world just wants peace but that’s exactly what I want too. I just don’t want to die for them or at all. I don’t think anyone would.
Almost feels as if I’m being stalked and my thoughts are being manipulated by this man who’s speaking in this video we are listening to called “overthinking” by Alan Watts. It sounds as if this man is trying to make me sound like whatever he thinks of me and I don’t know if that’s good or bad, but I don’t like how he laughs at a certain person or thing with the ones around him. Makes me feel as if he really is against me. Because it almost seems as if he’s laughing at my very thoughts and my very being because I do think Jesus is great and good and tried to be perfect for this world.
A blind Ali like my father? Or did u mean a blind alley. Because my dad was whatever he wanted to be and he chose the worst for his family. Good thing I follow the right course I don’t follow my dad the way he lives his life I see what’s right and what’s wrong and I choose the best every time for myself and that is why I’m selfish I know what to do and say everytime. Your laughing is just stupid at this point it’s like training for me teaches me how to toughen up. Cause I was trained at a very young age for this day. I was taught not to be what you want. I was taught to be good and great.
Anybody can become like Jesus because Jesus was great and was good he did everything he could to be perfect for the world and to get the world to be perfect but that wasn’t enough to not get him killed… Jesus loved the world more than he loved himself so that’s why he did everything he could to stop the world from ending itself. He wanted the greatest for his own world that God created for him to fix but even when God became him that wasn’t enough. So God chose to crucify him to end the reality that the world created for them. For God and Jesus combined this world was hell but God and Jesus tried to make it heaven. To make everybody lay down their guns and to not kill and hurt one another.
@@nexavah i love you so much thanks you and can you do another video like this for a movie called '' 5 centimeters per second'' he is a great movie with a deep story and this movie is from the same director of '' your name'' movie
Nailed it. I do not have the capacity to change anything, even myself. And again yep, the real "I" is dead. Mr. Watts aptly explains the distinction between body and soul (mind, will, and emotions), but misses while explaining the "real I" as part of the soul. The real "I" is our spirit. Easy to miss cuz our spirit is dead. We can do nothing to awaken our spirit. Only Jesus can. Jesus did not come to make bad things good. He came to bring dead things to life. Call out to Jesus to awaken your spirit and all things will become alive and you will have a new beginning.
He is talking about how people are thinking and trying to manipulate their reality instead of simply allowing themselves to be, and live in the present. To not force feelings, to not build their personality based on the perception of others, but be themselves.
It's impossible to understand until you do. Basically it's a speech about the cores of Buddhism and accepting reality and not have any unnecessary emotions attached to it like existential crisis and anxiety.

The balance of music to speech is spot on.
It makes you listen closer to Alan Watts and increase your attention span.

The videos amazing mate. I choose to listen to this version over all the others. But I’m using quality headphones.
I love the music you chose!!!
No don't say sorry its perfect!
Been sprinting too long felt good to sit back and listen to this in solitude
Idk why everyone is complaining, I like the loud music with the eerie feeling of the background message of Alan Wyatt.
i made this so long ago as well, i don't know why its getting so many views now 😭
The feeling it has for me is "An old recording found on a derelict ship."
Just don't think Alan needs help with the music. Many other vds. plat the loud music. Just don't get it.

Friendly reminder from Alan Watts "go touch grass"
Damn nyx, upload it complete please, with that music omg
Lovely. :)
I was here because I wanted to know what the drop sounds like in the original.
Hope this reaches you and helps quiet the sound. It gets kinda loud up there some times.

When you realise internet was made without internet
What I meant was that I can't hear some of Alan's words because of the music. Just overthinking, I guess.
its fine, been getting a lot of comments like this. i regret making the music so loud but i uploaded it two years ago so not much i can do
*what is reality?*
Would anyone know the title of the lecture(s) in this video?
