Alan Watts was an incredible philosopher and speaker who had a unique way of exploring Eastern philosophy and spirituality. His captivating lectures and books have inspired countless people around the world.
Alan Watts was born in England in 1915 and developed a deep interest in Eastern philosophy from a young age. He studied Buddhism, Taoism, and Hinduism, and became a renowned interpreter of these philosophies for Western audiences. His ability to bridge the gap between Eastern and Western thought made him a popular figure in the counterculture movement of the 1960s.
One of the central themes in Watts' teachings was the concept of "the self." He explored the idea that our sense of self is an illusion, and that we are all interconnected with the universe. He encouraged people to embrace the present moment and find joy in the simple act of being alive.
Watts had a way of delivering profound insights with a sense of humor and playfulness. He believed that life should be approached with a sense of wonder and curiosity, and that we should not take ourselves too seriously. His lectures often included anecdotes, stories, and metaphors that helped illustrate his points in an engaging and relatable way.
In addition to his lectures, Watts wrote numerous books on topics such as Zen Buddhism, Taoism, and the nature of consciousness. Some of his most well-known works include "The Wisdom of Insecurity," "The Book: On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are," and "The Way of Zen."
Alan Watts passed away in 1973, but his teachings continue to resonate with people today. His ability to distill complex philosophical concepts into accessible and relatable ideas has made him a beloved figure in the world of spirituality and philosophy.

The only thing I've wanted to happen in over 20yrs was getting rid of the HCV I acquired from the infected plasma transfusion many years ago. The constant horrendous nightmare just doesn't seem to let up even after getting rid of the HCV!

He's saying "apportion," not "abortion. As in 'to portion out'...for non-native English speakers ❤

He was the real life Gandalf.

Ego, like ideals or sex is a reward based system coded in the DNA and installed by language and culture to promote consistency within the individual and therefore the species. Ego isn't necessarily a strain. It is a tool. It is a strain to carry a hammer and it may be counterproductive to carry it all day. Unless you are a carpenter. But it is no use being carpenter if everybody else is too.

When an event happens to you... how do you respond?? Do u yell & scream... are u mild mannered? Is the event causing u to respond the way u do?? Or are u choosing to respond in this manner?? Who is in control of your response... the event or u? Did s/he make u angry or did u choose to respond in anger?

Sadly, the more i listen to Alan, watts. i hear that AI is taking his voice. people are implementing his voice with their own sentences. Be careful out there.

Sometimes the rollercoaster has really nice cushy seats and runs on a brand-new smooth track, other times, it’s a scary, old, rickety piece of shit. Eventually, they both lead you to the same place, at least in my experience…

Closed captioning is inaccurate. It’s Krishnamurty he’s talking about not Christianity. And so many other errors.

3:24 line of least resistance!!

The lotus flower is found in the mud that rarely sees footsteps

39:14 Should be "Leibniz," the philosopher who was very interested in Chinese thought, instead of "lightness."

0:28 pretty sure it‘s “confine”, not “can find”

Just live a simple daily life and keep the precepts of the Buddha.

12:28 I keep trying to explain that to my wife. The words might be simple but its a lot to unload and explain.
