- "As God, what responsibility do I feel to ameliorate evil in the world? I begin with the point that I am responsible for the way the world is. If I couldn’t feel that I’d have to blame somebody else. I’m not willing to do that because I know that under various changing circumstances, it might be appropriate for me to be as big a rascal as rascals have been. Now as to improving the world, the world is always improving. It may look to some people slow, but it’s improving even when it is declining, because the world works in an undulatory process, like a wave: it goes up and it goes down, it goes up and it goes down. And it couldn’t go up all the time because if it did, we wouldn’t know that that was up. So it goes down some of the time so that we can know when it goes up because if we didn’t know when it went up it would be like being in a space where everything was light. There’d be nothing to write home about." - Alan Watts

Its incredible that he was able to answer those questions with such detail on the spot
Thanks for watching. Hope you enjoyed.
To speak with a silent mind and from a place of oneness is to let God speak through you
@@Thedrummaman76 language is how we've been robbed of our own perceptions this is how slavery is pushed. This is how self hatred is influenced. The belief in which we have no value outside of money
Those were all questions he’s asked himself.
Why is that incredible? Its the reason you know his name...
Thanks for living with us for a while mr Alan
This has helped me on so many nights when sleep won't come and my mind won't stop.
after we were born, the parents, the society make the most to teach us to speak. never in our life they teach us how to remain silent. why silence is uncomfortable? it seems your problem is you dont know how to remain silent. and not from your mouth. but in your head
Am still struggling with overthinking and can't keep my mind silent
@@timotheusdausab8619 because you have the habit of compulsive thinking. you cannot think or overthink without the tool of Attention. If you learn to redirect the Attention that the mind needs to generate thinking, you will find that timeout that you search for. if you allow me i recommend 2 practices to test what im saying. one is stereograms. you can find them on google. this are 3D pictures visible only when looking deeper then the screen, like you have x ray and you can see through your phone 3-4 cm behind it. once you catch how to look at this pictures, keep your attention for 2 min on them. you will see how peaceful your inner world becomes. second practice use your Conscious Attention on the upper lip at the entrance of your nose, not on the breathing, on the body. you can use the breathing just to amplify the sensations on the upper lip. practice for 10 min, see what happens. best of luck in developing tools for your inner peace.
Such a sharp witted Man. Much respect and admiration for Who He was and what He tried to teach
🙏💜🙏Thanks Alan , it's a blessing that we can like Alan said, listen to these talks at the touch of a button !! ❤💞❤ What a man ! 💖❤
It went from them trying to diagnose the "patient" to then listening in awe. Loved it.
This was amazing. Thank you very much indeed.
Started to read a book this morning and it mentioned that "God is absolute existence, knowledge and bliss. The universe is not real. God and man's inner Self are one... No object, no kind of knowledge, can be absolutely real if its existence is only temporary... every object of knowledge, external or internal is subject to modification and therefore "not real"... What is the Reality behind all our experiences? There is only one thing that never leaves us--the deep consciousness... this is the absolute Self. In dreamless sleep, also, the real Self is present as a witness, while the ego-sense which we call "ourself", our individuality, has become temporarily merged in ignorance and disappeared."
That, plus this beautiful video, I feel are connected somehow as if one led to the other. Anyway, hopefully somebody else can enjoy it or absorb something from it.

Interesting. Words like “savior” & “enemy” never made much sense to me. I don’t feel we are mini gods…I feel we are all extensions of our Creator. Faith-based people have a strong spiritual connection. Non-believers put their faith in science, technology, money, men & machines. The sentence: “There is nothing that is not God”…gives me truth chills. I feel like evil is basically a deep-seated amnesia about this undeniable (to me) truth.
From the longer piece "On being God" great lecture, you can even hear one woman's awakening "oh wow" brilliant...
Thank you. This talk helped me today
I'm so glad! You are so awesome.
Thank you for sharing this. Deeply thought provoking 🧘🏻♂️
Thanks for sharing this shotgun blast of marvelous mind jewels from the rascal who played Alan Watts with loving jest, gusto, and wonderous joy for this exquisite mystery of becoming we call life.
There exists nothing but God. One Universal energy is appearing as you, me and all . This is the Absolute truth. This appearing and disappearing is its own play for it's own sake. So be not serious but be sincere and honest. Be happy that you don't die. You are the Cosmos pretending as so and so. My salutations to Maharishi Allan Watts the greatest master of this century. 🙏🙏🙏🕉
Now we have all heard what Alan had to say, now we must all get on with it! If we don’t then we never listened.
Listening to alan watts is entertaining wouldn’t you agree?
@@pmb9926 definitely but that’s what he said it’s entertainment not trying to change anyone’s belief etc but really it’s only entertainment if that’s what you want from it, or truth disguised as entertainment it’s our choice how you see it.
@@JJmoony I like how you put it :)
@@JJmoony truth disguised as entertainment :)
Becoming like God is about loving serving and helping your fellow man. It's about sacrificing your self not glorifying yourself.
This is totally false. You do not do anything to become like God. You are God. If you believe you must do good works or sacrifice yourself to others to become like God, the truth is not in you.
One Desire what one desires most ! What do you desire the most about you!
@@94nolool totally wrong. If you throw away yourself in life for the benefits of others, you're throwing away your individuality in favour of others which is godlineee. Then there is no you anymore, god is more prominent in the body
@@94noloi agree with you. There's no right or wrong. The only point is that is a good idea to help others because we will feel all the pain and suffering as well
No
This is great one. Thank you.
Glad you liked it!
Cool, never heard that before, but it´s very concise.
Wonderful to hear his audeince. Also, I made a sandwich this morning.
I hope your sandwich was good..😁😉
Fn genius and funny too boot. He just sends you up....until you get it.
Love this video. Thanks 🙏
All, is just as it is now...
🕊️💛✨
Exactly what I needed. Today! Now! Thanks
So glad! Thanks for watching. ]
Sleeping is like politics
Something at right side
Sometimes at left side
Always sore neck until left right red blue makes purple pillow
Omg i love this
I love it the fact he gave this talk in a church.....😇🤣🤣🤣
“You gotta be heaven to see heaven”- phantom regret by jim Carry
Nice video.
Many many thanks
Love it
3:45 was impressive for ad lib philosophical debate.
Is there a longer video?
He describes the point to playing the video game "Roy 2".
From Rick and morty.i wonder if to aliens our planet exists like it does as a place more real than their own simulation.To live on a planet that is far from perfect....
Cool.
Luuli!!
There's no point in being this God if when I die, I'll never wake up. I don't remember the past eternity and I'll probably won't remember the eternal future. Great philosophical exercise though.
❤
💫✨💛
Wow
Glad you liked
wow
111 CLAIMED BY GOD
He says how can you know you were alive if you haven't been dead but how come I've seen people and animals dead though? That's how I know I'm alive because I've seen death
Those people and animals are all derivations of you, or rather of the Tao. In other words, you know life because you’ve seen yourself die
@@sage1520 what makes you claim that? How does he or you know
@@PlatoOnnPluto It's not that I know this to be a fact, it's not that type of thing. It's a perspective that we both have on existence. If you want it explained to you, you should watch more from Alan Watts
@@sage1520 I’ve watched prolly more than you just saying, you’re just throwing words out your mouth if it’s not actually true then don’t say it is.
@@PlatoOnnPluto one of the laws of the universe state that everything and everyone is connected. Would life be life if you were the only thing that existed?
So, nobody could say he wasn’t god.
This may be applied to everyone.
God is every piece of matter...
Staring into a void with total control. Lost in his matter and matters.
666th like by the way
Surprise!!
Thanks for watching. Hope you enjoyed.
Whoa thx
So glad you liked it
@@DecodingSpirituality hey do any knowledge on regainimg health. im new to this channel and its great thx
Repent and believe in the gospel
Three persons but One God.
The biggest lie the was ever invented! God is one Jesus was just a man with a message from god! Fatherless human was sent as a sign just like Adam.
@@AwakeWeStand adam is no person, its not about two literal created people, its all allegory, its about metaphysics not history, there never existed a guy named noah with an ark, never a king solomon sacrificed 140K animals in one feast day in the near east....
@@tutorialchief lol what are you on!
There are evidence of where Noah’s Ark is located actually, near northern Mesopotamia/Turkey. I’m not worried about Solomon’s feast, just don’t tell me a man that was once a helpless child and later died is god! Logically doesn’t make sense!
@@AwakeWeStand John 1 plainly refutes this ridiculous heresy.
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
There was a man sent from God whose name was John. He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe. He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light.
The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God- children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
(John testified concerning him. He cried out, saying, “This is the one I spoke about when I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.’”) Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known."
Folk...
Two things - either i am a liar or i am telling you the truth:
I have been personally confronted by satan as a young man whilst intensely studying the Bible after i had become born again through Christ Jesus. However, he immediately disappeared from my room at the singing of a song: "Power in The Blood of The Lamb".
I wish to assure you, he is very powerful and real and i am not delusional or imaginative in terms of my very real experience.
Trinitarian monotheism
Alan Watts did suffer from the delusion he's God. He just used different words to describe it. That's what Buddhism / New Age is all about - you're perfect as you are! No need to do anything to improve! Just sit back and be, as you are. Because you're so perfect already
You cant answer a question with the question.
A story teller, not a theologian...
He once described himself as a spiritual entertainer.
Or philosophical entertainer...
It’s a way of eschewing the whole “authority” problem
But what else we are if we are not stories and we try to understand so many things through stories. Even science is an articulated story based on trial and error to retell itself.
If he knew who he was he wouldn't think that he is equal to God
Hinduism
If only i was there in his life to ask him a few questions,
i know it could have changed his entire perspective if he was willing to come to the truth still after he realized all that he had perceived was wrong at it the core of the foundation in his beliefs and conclusions.
This is just pantheism, if humans were gods we would be able to create things but most of what humans do is destructive. Can the smartest scientists in the world make a grain of sand from nothing?
Only Jesus can save you from hell, We are guilty of being lying, adulterous, thieves like in court with a stack of speeding tickets if someone pays your fine you’re free to go that’s what Jesus did when he died and rose again. Repent of your sins and trust in Him. Seek a personal relationship with Him :)
That’s just using a scapegoat and what I find most repugnant about the whole”Jesus died for your sins” mantra. Alan watts isn’t saying that humans are “gods”. He is saying that ‘god’ is in everyone of us and heaven and hell are right here and ours to choose based on how we choose to see / live our lives.
creepy
artificial - Evil
natural- God
so simple u can't see
Demonic!
This man is very wise but misleading people is just wrong we are not God and we will never be God Satan also thought that he was equal to God and look what happened to him
Alan watts you really dont know.
Explain
@@hqbattery No you demon You explain
@@solomonseal2838 lmao ok, stay delusional
Yeah heap of crap this man spew
@@solomonseal2838 Demon?! What are you afraid of, my friend?
Delusional idiocy
Be kind to your Self friend ✨ 💛
Poo guy. So much darkness in you.
No, just different than what's been shoved down your throat since you were indoctrinated as a child. Open your eyes. The answers are right there.
