➤➤Transcript (partial):
The cause of time is really very much like the cause of a ship in the ocean-cause here’s the ship, you see, and it leaves behind it a wake. The wake fades out and that tells us where the ship has been in just the same way as the past and our memory of the past tells us what we have done. But as we go back into the past, and we go back and back to pre-history and we use all kinds of instruments and scientific methods for detecting what happened, we eventually reach a point where all record of the past fades away in just the same way as the wake of a ship. Now the important thing to remember in this illustration is that the wake doesn’t drive the ship any more than the tale wags the dog. Supposing there’s a neurotic, difficult child-one school of thought is to say, “Well bang him about. Beat him up!” And maybe he’ll change. But then they said, “Oh, no. That’s not fair to the child to beat him up because it was his parents. They didn’t bring him up properly. And so then they say, “Well, punish the parents.” Well the parents say, “Excuse me, but our parents were neurotic too. And they brought us up badly so we couldn’t help what we did.” And so, since the grandparents are dead we can’t get at them. And in any case, supposing we could, we would pass the whole blame back to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. And they say they started all this mess. But then Eve would say, “No! The serpent tempted me and I did eat and it was the serpent’s fault!” So you see, if you insist on being moved, being determined by the past, that’s your game. But the fact of the matter is it all starts right now. But we like to establish our connectivity with the past because that gives other people the impression that we’re sane. If you ask me, then, why am I talking? Well I could say, I’m making a living this way, or I have a message that I want to get across to you. But that’s not the reason. I’m talking for the same reason that birds sing, and for the same reason that the stars shine, is, I dig it. Why do you dig it? Well, I could go on answering all sorts of questions about human motivation and psychology but they wouldn’t explain a thing, because explaining things by the past is really a refusal to explain them at all!

It’s fine to me thank you
it's a very good video, very much appreciated. really great work... all of it. thanks
WordToTheWise thank you for putting these up
Alan Watts hasn't died. He still lives through CZcams. A fantastic articulate, non serious philosopher.
not serious, a sincere one.
@@lucasranieri6159 exactly
@Joža Gulikoža he might be music composer now as he talked about it.
They say we die twice, once when the life leaves our body, and again the last time someone says our name. Alan Watts is far from dead ❤️
The skin that contained the voice of Alan is simply too unlively right now to jump out and have an utterance. He is practicing sound silence. Just wait
Spent the last 5 months of last year in Rehab.. slowly, everyday, I see things getting better, finances, love life , career... Let's kick ass 2020
Have a fruitful and fulfilling 2020
Good luck
You are worth the time you spend on yourself - never forget that you matter and are needed in this world.
Way to go Noel!! Revel in it ,brother!!
@@walkwithme4975 thank you
About 15 years ago I was pretty lost and felt depressed. I couldn’t sleep so I found a huge collection of Alan Watts recordings and just listened to them night after night. It totally changed me and really helped me get through it.
papasitoman wow same thing and timing, feeling so empty and lost! ;) ✌🏼Again a year ago-got through another rough episode! Also a HUGE help was, is Professor Jordan Peterson.💜
Beautiful to hear.
Alan Watts was a Jedi Master and his Force Ghost roams CZcams delivering knowledge to all.
This present moment is all we really have, we don't define ourselves for what we've done in the past but for who we are today and the choices we make today, that's all that really matters. Believe in what you can be ♡
Confused he has a video about going back to the child that lost his way
You mean believe in what you are
“You are not defined by your past, or even driven by it, just as a ship is not defined by the wake it leaves behind. Reorient your mind to be free from past events in order to define yourself by what you’re doing in the present. Your future begins in the now.”
My life completely changed when I realized this
Peace and love everyone. These are divine words.
I love the man's voice and ALL of his messages !! { I am 57 soon } and Alan Watts was just 58 when he died in his sleep in 1973, from a bad heart. The man was a messenger !!
Thank you Alan Watts, for everything you have done for me! I love you bro!
The man was a MESSENGER !! I was 10 in 1973 when he died at 58 in his sleep from a bad heart.. He speaks TRUTH from THE SOUL !!
A very relevant clip for this time of year, with everyone trying to fulfill their new years resolutions and improve as a person.
Happy 2020💫🙏
Brilliant ! Thank God I stumble upon his work! A Saint!
The way you put the content together is simply amazing. Keep going. Your channel is immensely helpful.
Thank you so much 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Sensei Watts dropping some knowledge, I love it. Thank you for sharing the source from which this recording came from. 🙏
Amazing speach and exactly what i needed to hear. Thank you for posting this. Love.
Such a brilliant teacher and revealed Truth
“The wake does not drive the ship”
"Neither does the tail wag the dog" Word 👍
Thankyou for your videos, you give clear credit to the respective authors, but your editing, topic and audio selection as an authentic positive addition to the original work! Keep going!
The last minute of this video gave me true chills.
Thank you for this. I cannot find the words to explain the depth of my gratitude so thank you. So, so much.
Solid video, would love to see some more Alan Watts!!!
Man, I've listened to a lot of Alan Watts and I'm not sure if I've heard this one before. Love the video that goes with it. Big thanks for sharing 🙏
I SO needed this today, thank you
Awesome change from jp, appreciate the diversity!
My favorite Alan Watts' video - he articulates in just over 5 minutes what some people have written entire books to explain! Thank you, Word to the Wise! Note to WTTW: In the closed captions at the beginning of the video, it should read: "The course of time is really very much like the course of a ship in the ocean". You have the word "cause" instead of "course". Other than that, a fine job! Thanks again!
Love these motivational videos.... THANK YOU!
Very beautiful,sublime n profound!
LOVE Your videos! Great subjects, editing, video, etc. ❤️❤️❤️
This video taught me a new perspective to life ❤️
It gets clearer every day......
Excellent, truly excellent.
Strange that after watching countless CZcams videos, this is the one that resonated with me, the most.
Thanks for sharing this; changed my perspective in such a way that I am still processing it while I am typing out this comment and will likely continue processing the material, for the foreseeable future. That’s 🔥, as kids were/are saying...
Eudemonic!
Priceless words,if One have them in their experience.
Thank you Alan watts
Amazing energy to you and To flow, gratitude for helping me.
Define yourself in what you are doing NOW - says it all.
Hello mr Watts. Thank you for you
Yes!! I waited for Alan Watts to be on this channel, definitely the greatest spiritual communicator ever.
Wonderful!
In the Now is Life n Freedom Amen thank you Wise teaching greetings to all 🙏 ❤️
Thank You
Thank you so much, truly. :)
Although hard to pinpoint at first, what Alan says here is extremely important. He’s saying that we normally judge ourselves based on what we have or haven’t done in the past, when really all the past is is an explanation as to how we’ve ended up where we currently are. In this sense, if we always simply judge ourselves based on where we are right now instead, we will always be liberated from the past by not blaming it. Blaming our past selves is an excuse to not fix something in the present. We should be enjoying our time on the boat, rather than always swimming behind in the wake of it. Once we are back on the boat and behind the wheel, we can then redirect the appropriate course that is currently required. That is why I found this lesson funny, because Alan isn’t just saying to live in the now, he’s saying that taking accountability for your actions and for your life is what allows you to truly live in the present moment. A boat can’t dwell in the wakes of its past, and a dog doesn’t care about the future. Don’t think, just do - because a boat just drives, and a dog just wags it’s tail :)
This stuff from Alan is so deep, I cannot touch any sides, and there is no bottom or up but it FEELS so real, yet it comes and goes. It comes and goes.
i love this Man!
Gravefri Have Indeed!
Thank you.
I love Alan Watts
Alan made living by talking his mind, and now many people make living by sharing his talks, and it is the same thing as birds sing and stars shine... Appreciate the cycle
God this man's mind is a blessing for others... love his mind.🤜🏼🌺🤛🏽
Allan... I feel your presence man. RIP
Imagine Allan watts on Joe Rogan
Smoking weed with him
Imagine Allan Watts on Mike Tyson Podcast
@@mohsinbaloch8672 and drinking
Allan watts will blow Joe's mind
@@fadilahmed3137 That's all it would be. Now imagine Jordan Peterson and Watts arguing/debating about anything, I'd pay a lot to see that
My past is history. I live in the now. Praying for the future. ☺
Beautiful ❤️
I just got amazing revelation from that.
It seems when you look at it, that we become what people expect of us. For example, you may be occasionally helpful to a certain person but not to others.
It becomes very easy to remain helpful to that person because that's what they've come to expect, it's who they think you are and for some reason we go with it. Just like someone has your name wrong and call you Neil instead of Nick.
You don't change or correct them you just allow it because you hardly interact with them. Now there are three you. One is personified as a more than average helpful person, another is someone that looks like you but is called by another name and God knows how many more people we become to different people.
But behind all that ridiculousness, is a being that is very real and very true and very present. Who is it
The image of the Creator. Some call it consciousness and Buddhist call it Dao. Think about it God is simply a reference to the creator and even Jesus referred to him as Father. You unto something here 👍
Alan watts saved my life in 2022
*2020!*
Everyone learning from Peterson should also be learning from Watts, beautiful choice in expanding your Niche audience
time is an illusion yet it serves a purpose its only in the now that we can chose, if you ever feel like you made a mistake in the past don't freak out, because at the time that is exactly what you wanted to do so here you are now.
SORRY, BUT I LOVE THIS MAN..💖💞
I dig it
trying to spice up alan watts lectures with dubs is like trying to make the sun brighter than it is...
I believe in the here and now! Your just talking to here yourself talk.
Now now now bang bang bang
Exactly.
Reminds me of some memorization I did back in grade school.. Were, was, been, being, has, have, had, am, are, is, do, does, did, may, might, can, could, shall, should, will, would, must!
Wow
Working a jigsaw puzzle, listening to Alan Watts, eating popcorn...life is good.
Its the damn snakes! Suddenly im a fan of St Patrick.
Watts drops the mic at the end...and the music is the gravity
@WordToTheWise, its so interesting that when you upload another video portraying a 'different' speaker as a collective, we cannot break the thousand mark for likes and support. However, when its Jordan Peterson lol ...
For me video content like this differentiates and shows the polarizing effect on those who merely live by their Persona and those who actually work on incorporating their Shadow. I'm a huge advocate for Jordan Peterson I think what he is doing is remarkable and it is needed now more than ever, but more people should actually take on what he says and read the different educators he recommends. Unarticulated action is just as important as articulated knowledge. Anyway, Happy New Year to all connected to this channel.
Because jordan is the present. Did you watch the video 'lol' watts is more in the wake. Get woke you go broke
The Future is Now
If you focus on *what is* in the present, the *how* and *why* fade away - just like the wakes in the ocean, and just like how a dog doesn’t think about how or why it wags it’s tail.
Where did you get this footage? Stock site?
It starts now
It didn't begin in the past
There is no past
Everything happens now
😱 w o w 😍😎
Thanks Alan 🙏😍♥🏡⭐🙌
From who is the music at the end?

I love this. Allot of it resonates with what the Drukama tradition teaches. Check it out.

Is the music the soundtrack of Arrival by Jóhann Jóhannsson?
Define yourself in terms of what you r doing now...
Presence is all there is, our imagination creates everything else.
I never recommend therapy, just psychedelics and Allan watts
John Dee in this day and age with you tube access to the best philosophers who ever lived and the best psychologists who currently live- no need to go thru trial and error with local therapists. If you can afford to pay someone to listen, it can be helpful. Ayahuasca and San Pedro will get you there without all the missteps...
FirstName LastName exactly. I’ve bought a couple of San Pedros but haven’t taken any yet, can’t wait.
John Dee for whatever it’s worth and it’s none of my business...
I don’t recommend doing either, without
A.) highly controlled environment
B.) specific intentions
C.) a leader/teacher/guide who has 100+ sessions under their belt
C.) enough time to mentally and physically prepare for sessions at least the week leading up to it
(Clean eating/clean living for 7-10 days)
No need to set off on the path without all of the important aspects planned out and prepared for
EVERYTIME
FirstName LastName I agree on all those except that you should have a guide with 100+ experiences, I think you can educate yourself on how to trip sit with the internet.
Spirit Man 505 thanks mate, that’s some great advice, I’ve also heard cleaning your house on the day leading up to your trip instead of going on the internet is a good idea.
I've followed Watts for many years, but, once again this video and His beautiful philosophy is for You, the privileged Only. Frisbee on the beach. 200$ sneakers, etc. I hope Alan helps you feel better. The rest of us are on fire.
Can i take the audio?

It's sad that people rip videos off like this for views, put music that takes away the attention from the words, and cut it up into tiny segments where no one can ever understand where it even came from, let alone get a more comprehensive understanding. Please stop. Create your own "content".
B M I think it’s great that more people are discovering people like Allan watts because of these videos and the music compliments what he’s saying in my opinion, try and look for the positives.
Lighten up, you're too uptight
Whats the name of the music?
