Enjoy 💙
i love how i come to youtube to listen to music but i keep getting random alan watts videos as suggestions so i end up listening to his stuff for hours instead of doing what i meant to do
Glad you enjoy it!
Maybe this is what you were meant to do ☺️
haha, i agree with you
The amazing thing is: after these hours, I don't feel mentally overfed or exhausted. Only good wisdom food for mind & soul, which instantly roots and grows into new perspectives.
If every other sermon I've heard had given me the enlightenment that I am gifted with by listening to one sentence of Alan Watts, I'd NEVER had stopped going to the church.
This! But church has to be dull and stuffy and literal and legalistic.
I just gotta say.... I appreciate your push of alan watts. YOU have provided some deep, profound spiritual guidance for me. Be it through animal guides and now our great teacher, Alan watts.
I bet you would be a joy to be around.
I hope the world's experiences are treating you well during these perceived tumultuous times. Darkest before the dawn, good things to come ❤.
He is so good!;!!!
The Beautiful Beings of Gaia would like to thank Alan Watts for his service. We are forever grateful.
In comparison to all the spiritual teachers, this doesn’t let me feel bad for humans. „It’s all part of the flow“. There are no wrong feelings.
Thank you, Wiara, for making this available.
You're most welcome!

You are the whole works of the universe.
You are serving the whole universe and exploring itself.
You, the I, will always go on.

So profound the many different ways he says of being special and connected
Our idea of personality of ourselves includes no information whatsoever about the hypothalamus, an organ of the brain, the pineal gland, reality of the way we breathe, how our blood circulates, how we manage to form a sentence, how we manage to be conscious, how you open and close your hand, the information contained in your image of yourself contains nothing about all that and therefore obviously it's an extremely inadequate image.
So when you feel that you are a lonely, put upon isolated little stranger confronting all this, you see, you have an illusory feeling, because the truth is reverse. You are the whole works that there is that always was and always has been and always will be only just as my whole body has a little nerve end here which is exploring and which contributes to the sense of touch, you are just such a little nerve end for everything that’s going on. Eyes serve the whole body and help it to find its way around, so you are as it were serving the whole universe. You're a cell in it, and it's exploring itself so that you, as a function of all that, and therefore if this is so, it just doesn't fit. These facts do not fit the way we feel because we feel it the other way around: "I am a little lonely thing exploring all this universe and trying to get make something out of it, get something out of it, do something with it, and I know I'm going to fail because I know I'm going to die one day." So we're all fundamentally depressed, I'm think up all these fantasies about what's going to happen to us when we're dead and all that kind of thing.
What's going to happen to you when you're dead? What do you mean you if you are basically the universe, that question is irrelevant, you never were born and you never will die because what there is is you and that should be absolutely obvious but it is not obvious at all that should be the simplest thing in the world that you the I is what has always been going on and always will go on forever and ever but we have been bamboozled by religionists by politicians by fathers and mothers by all sorts of people to tell us you're not it and we believed it you are all as much extraordinary phenomena of nature as say trees clouds the patterns in running water the shape of fire the arrangement of the Stars the form of a galaxy you are all just like that there's nothing wrong with you at all except that I have to add this little flip you you you have any you do think there's something wrong with you see and there's no question you do we all object to ourselves in various ways and I'm going to add there's nothing wrong with that either because that's part of the flow that's part of what is going on that's part of what we do so I don't you see I'm I'm I'm what I'm actually going to do is I'm going to deliver you from a sense of guilt because I'm going to teach you that you needn't feel guilty because you feel guilty of course you feel guilty it's like someone put a match on you and you feel hot so they taught you as a child to feel guilty and you feel guilty they say well if somebody comes along and says well you shouldn't it's not the point I'm going to say not that you shouldn't but that you do and don't worry about it and if you want to say further but I can't help worrying about it I'm going to say to you okay worry about it this is the principle called in Japanese is Judo meaning the Gentle Way go along with it go along with it go along with it so therefore this is the beginning of meditation you don't know what you're supposed to do what can you do well if you don't know what you're supposed to do you watch you simply watch what's going on like say somebody plays music you listen and you just follow those sounds and eventually you understand the point of the music the point cannot be explained in words because music is not words but after a while in listening to any music you will understand the point of it and that point will be the music itself so in exactly the same way you can listen to all experiences because all experiences whatsoever Are vibrations coming at you they you are these vibrations as a matter of fact if you really feel out what is happening what you are aware of as you and as everything else is all all the same it's a vibrations of all kinds and they're on different bands of the spectrum sight vibrations emotion vibration uh touch vibrations Sound Vibrations all these things adding together are woven all the different senses are woven and you get a pattern in the weaving and that pattern is the picture of what you now feel this thing is going now instead of saying what should I do about it because who knows what to do about it to know what to do about this you would have to know everything and if you don't then the only thing that at least to begin with to begin with you can do is watch watch what's going on watch not only what's going on on the outside but also what's going on on the inside treat your own thoughts your own reactions your own emotions about what's going on outside as if those inside reactions were also outside that you just watching and follow simply observe how they go note now you may say this is difficult I am bored by watching what is going on let's say you you you sit quite still and you are simply observing what is happening all all the sounds outside all the different shapes and lights in front of your eyes all the feelings on your skin inside your skin belly rumbles thoughts going on inside your head chatter chatter chatter I ought to be writing a letter to so and so I should have done this they said all this build going on see you just watch it but then you say to yourself but this is boring now watch that too what is it what what kind of a funny feeling is it that makes you say but this is boring where is it where do you feel it I should be doing something else instead what's that feeling what part of your body is it in is it in here is it in here is it in the SES of your feet where is it boring the feeling of boredom can be very interesting if you try to look it up so you simply watch at everything going on without attempting to change it in any way without judging it without calling it good or bad you watch it that is the essential process of meditation.
We are all unborn even the awareness of experience is an illusion as we are unborn non of us can be having having this experience of reality life. No thought can explain this answer. 💓💓💓🙏 NAMASTE 🔥 ONE LOVE 🔥

Don’t get what he’s saying I’m afraid . It’s just too surreal for me . I try living my life in the moment and do no harm . That’s my philosophy.
