Out of the Game | Remove anxiety | Alan Watts [ BLACK SCREEN | NO MUSIC | SLEEP]
มุมมอง 6184 หลายเดือนก่อน
Much of reality is overlooked or ignored, with society training us from childhood to focus on what is "official" or socially acceptable, while repressing other aspects of existence. Using metaphors like the weaving of a tapestry and the spectrum of vibrations, it suggests that much of life goes unnoticed because our senses and social systems are selective about what is worth attending to. Socia...
Relax, it's all play | The Joker | Alan Watts [ BLACK SCREEN | NO MUSIC | SLEEP ]
มุมมอง 2364 หลายเดือนก่อน
The relationship between existence, non-existence, and the balance between contrasting elements such as good and bad, or being and non-being. It is argued that existence inherently includes non-existence, much like sound is composed of both noise and silence in alternation. The idea is presented that the balance between opposites-such as beneficence and rascality, reason and passion-constitutes...
The meaning of life. There is sense in nonsense | Alan Watts [ BLACK SCREEN | NO MUSIC | SLEEP ]
มุมมอง 9675 หลายเดือนก่อน
Human unhappiness often stems from the sense that life lacks meaning, a topic frequently discussed in psychotherapy. This feeling of meaninglessness is linked to neurosis, leading people to seek out activities, philosophies, or religions that promise to give life a sense of purpose. Reflecting on what it means for life to have purpose, childhood experiences of hearing sermons about God's purpos...
Sudden awakening | Zen stories | Alan Watts [ BLACK SCREEN | NO MUSIC | SLEEP ]
มุมมอง 2.9K6 หลายเดือนก่อน
All of us need to be liberated from our culture to a certain extent because education is a kind of necessary evil. When the process of education or acculturation has been completed, we need a cure for it. So, in the process of being brought up by one's parents and one's teachers, you are in one way spoiled, although in another way made tolerable to live with. And so, in our culture, it's increa...

Live in the present moment | Alan Watts [ BLACK SCREEN | SLEEP | NO MUSIC ]
มุมมอง 1.1K6 หลายเดือนก่อน
Time is a social institution, not a physical reality. Unlike rhythm, which exists naturally in tides and biological processes, time is created by human conventions, much like language, numbers, and measurements. These conventions, such as clocks and rulers, help us organize and agree upon our world but aren't inherently real. In our culture, time has become crucial. We're driven by it, seeing i...
The problem of drug abuse | Alan Watts [ BLACK SCREEN | NO MUSIC | SLEEP ]
มุมมอง 7197 หลายเดือนก่อน
Alan Watts, delving into the drug abuse problem, critiques the ineffectiveness of U.S. drug laws and their exacerbation of the issue, arguing that drug addiction should be treated as a health problem rather than a criminal one. His interest in this topic stems from his studies on human consciousness, leading him to participate in experiments with LSD and other psychedelics. Watts explains that ...
What is reality? | The nature of existence | Alan Watts [ BLACK SCREEN | SLEEP | NO MUSIC ]
มุมมอง 1.1K7 หลายเดือนก่อน
Alan Watts explores the interplay between metaphysics and psychology, arguing that everyone operates from certain metaphysical assumptions about life, values, and existence, even those who claim a purely scientific approach. He emphasizes the interdependence of opposites and how human consciousness, with its focus on selective perception, often overlooks this interconnectedness, leading to a fr...
The life of Alan Watts (Autobiography) | Alan Watts [ BLACK SCREEN | NO MUSIC | SLEEP ]
มุมมอง 8108 หลายเดือนก่อน
Alan Watts recalls early fascination with Chinese and Japanese art, influenced by his upbringing surrounded by Chinese objects. He was drawn to the aesthetics of nature in Chinese and Japanese art, which differed from Western perspectives. This led him to delve into Eastern philosophy, particularly Buddhism, which offered a contrasting worldview to his Christian upbringing. He contrasts the aut...

The discussion covers a wide array of topics revolving around fundamental inquiries into human understanding and perception.

Discussion on the tendency of the mind to dwell on the past or worry about the future, causing individuals to lose touch with the present moment and feel trapped.

    I came to think about a different take on Wu Wei than Alan Watts. Instead of our choices being like a flipping of a coin, that God doesn't play dice, and that God (or the Tao) is the only power in the universe! Wu Wei is then the realization that we are already doing nothing. God is doing everything. "The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the Lord." - Proverbs 16:33

    Mr Watts gave no indication in talks or behavior that he was awakened or enlightened. But, that doesn’t mean he didn’t have something valuable to share. His talks on Buddhism are way off base but he also admitted he tried Zen for a week and left it alone because he found it “incomprehensible” or something to that effect. As I have experienced Watts, his most profound effect is that which results in you striving forward, deeper into the subjects of the contemplatives. And for that we can be grateful.

    I so very much love this awesome spirit. A while ago someone called him a hypocrite at an afterparty of a friend of mine....because of his struggles with alcohol. I believe that he saw how our planet could be and how it is...and had great difficulty with this. Everything comes from nothingness, in art/music we start with nothing and carve out "somethingness" out of this...this is art./musc....love/beauty .....I believe Alan does this with words. His amazing words are at the "border" of thinking and feeling...a "place" where the real magic happens (jmho). I wish everybody a happy, loving, and magical life 🙏 🍄
