Classic Alan Watts :) He's the only guy i know of that speaks about the play of life, as a game, and like any player of music knows, the more knowledge and skills one aquires along the way and the more one can do with the playing, the more interesting and fun it gets, and that we do it for it's own sake, not to "get somewhere", but to enjoy living in a uniquely human way, right where we are. Trying to put this stuff into words isn't easy!
It means if it's on your mind, it will shine with importance. When you put it on the back burner, it has reduced importance. When you no longer think about it, it has no importance. I'm referring to subjective importance opposed to objective importance. You still need to breathe if you don't think about it's significance, but basically it is the attention and intentions of the individual that determines importance and not the properties of what you find important. It's the relationship you have to the thing and how salient it is to you in the moment. For example, almost all people above a certain age have experienced a break up. In the moment of being broken up with it hurts so bad you can't stand it and you desire so badly for things to return to the way they used to be. Check in with that same individual 2 years later, and unless they've committed suicide or developed an unhealthy obsession or depression, they've likely moved on. Found someone or something else to give them purpose. In the moment of the break up that individual may say the pain is so unbearable and the break up was super significant but the same person 2 years later, if they deal with it in a healthy way, has probably boiled the relationship down to a few teachable moments and rarely considers the last person beyond that. Nothing changed about the events but the individuals attention and intentions changed, which changes what you find salient, and thus what was once the most significant moment in your life has been reduced to so much pillow talk.
Absolutely true. Brilliant and concise. In fact the more I think about how great this quote is, it intensifies in my mind until it becomes the only piece of philosophy I will ever need…until I start thinking about something else. In fact, now that I think about that- I just realized I’m 42 years old and have no idea what I wanna be when I grow up? Back to square one.
there's a book called whispers of manifestation on borlest , and it talks about how using some secret tehniques you can attract almost everything in life it's not some bullshit law of attraction, it's the real deal

I had this philosophy since I was a kid. I see people around taking it seriously when I just slack around. It bounced back to me now I'm 27 and I'm taking life so seriously because I slacked off so easily that I didn't know I need to win the game. It sucks.

@@needheartranken I can agree as long as CARE does not equal CLINGE. Clinging to anything will not result in more success, rather in slavery of your ego.
What you know is you, you know that you're everything right now and you know that everything is you right now, this is how you the Universe repeats itself to always write this same exact comment by always being proof of itself right now, again and again and again is you the whole reproductive Universe right now, to exist right now and to know you exist right now is also to always exist right now and to always know you exist right now, eternity is repeat as repeat is eternity, know is now as now is know, I always have and I always will rewrite this same exact comment verbatim.

No different from dreaming. We dream about other characters and dialogue with them. We made them all up. We are just talking to ourselves in the dream. But we pretend we are not by dreaming these scenarios. Once you are lucid and see the dream is made up, the dream dissolves and you wake up, because the truth is revealed. Unless you can hold your attention and keep dreaming and playing the game. The trick is to know this is a grand dream and we are playing God’s game.
Listening and learning these on my semen retention has really changed how I think ,see,feel and do things. We should strive for greatnetness of GOLDEN RULE OF LIFE!
He liked a drink 🥃 , and I’m sure he enjoyed a puff, his rhetoric is ideal for chatting while beautifully high .He was one of the most vital personalities of the 20th century ❤
Another comparison is we can take everything we learn in all of our many lifetimes in the 3rd dimension and see we have played every role, and in every way now know and understand what it's like to get by without the Love God and Creation meant for us and is our genuine state of being. Not so much for lessons, but for "experience." Learning love, as all we need is love.
"Game " for him my life is a game my emotion my respect is a kind of fun someone 7 year time after seven year trying to move on is a game for him I am surprised how god can create person like him
Oh man I haven’t heard this talk without music before and when it started without I said HALLELUJAH. And then 20 secs later the damn inspiring music starts 🙉
Every Thing In Some Moderation - Not Make Some 😂Laziness- Become or Conquer Your Body ….But Live In Harmony and Balance and See Different…..More Beautiful……🌞
This is amazing. I'm really enjoying listening to Alan discussing the the nuance and meaning of our existence. However, positioning our reality as a zero-sum game where winning necessarily creates losing, while beautifully symmetric and easy to internalize, is problematic and possibly just wrong as a general principle. Using the marketplace analogy puts an obvious focus on this. When I buy something from a seller, is it true that he wins and I lose or vice versa? Buyers and sellers both winning is a regular feature of a healthy transaction.
If you’re so bothered by music, then maybe you should ask yourself why. It’s just music. I can hear the words clearly. It’s enjoyable if you let yourself enjoy it.
Today is 9/5/2024 and the negative is trying their best to win. They don't seem to be holding back anything right now. It feels like we are headed for tragedy.

YES!! The music coming in unexpectedly after the 2 1/2 minute mark was harsh, and it is way too loud, putting Alan Watt voice in the background Anyway, you can redo this video because it’s excellent content, but it is hard to enjoy the content with the music so loud
16:30 if it were the other way around, where good is evil and evil is good = a Universe that is not a contusing game, it would be 100% tragedy hence, the end times we are living in now, Revelations being fulfilled.
like neville goddard.. intro section speech one of the neville speech too.. I think they are very similar, they focus on the same reality from different perspectives
@@edholden3930 Then just listen to the music on its own. You've stumbled into the wrong area of TH-cam. An adult will be along to collect you shortly. Everything is going to be ok sweetie.
It always ends up paradoxical? There is no separate self, ego is an illusion; so who is to wake up to what? There is no division between my consciousness and the universe yet everything I experience is in the context of duality. Watts took language as far as possible, but words can never capture the totality and on and on...
Alan Watts is one of the most entertaining people to ever be recorded speaking words that point to the underlying truths of existence.
Beautifully said!
its almost as if he talks about existential reality as if it were a game 😉
haha check Neville Goddard😂
And he looks like count Rugan, the six fingered man

No need to fake. You are. Individual awakening. No time to loose. You have all you need inside. Complete package for this life.
Have you heard of the Dualistic Unity Podcast w/ Andrew and Ray? If not, I recommend checking them out. Jaw Dropping conversations! 🤍
His words bring a weird sense of security and peace to my entire being. Its divinely strange most the time. But i like it
Although he said we're God playing hide and seek, when I listen to him, I feel like God is talking to me.
@@CleberHarrisonGuitar I can relate to that 💯
My friend, is because he speaks with Love and your Soul knows it.
For me too.

He's correct. It is....multiple games interlaced. We are all in our own self created simulation.
Truly an inspiring person. Not perfect but understanding. We are graced and gifted.
So well put together to deliver these messages. Draws one in deeper as it goes along. Thank you for offering this 🙏
Brilliant. We are all part of the whole, and must be mindful of this.

Always make sure that what you know doesn’t become who you are, because then you need to start over again, and again and again and again…….

When that piano started, I jumped so hard I nearly fell out of bed.
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂it's far too loud

Good lecture good music. Truly appreciate the effort you put in this video
Just 1.7 measly views and Alan Watts shares the secret of benightment in just a few minutes.
I don't want to be benighted thanks!
Brilliant! Thanks.
We are Spirit, Soul and Body:
We are Spiritual beings having
Human experience according to Divine Spirit Law of Life.
HalleluYah🕊
As soon as the music started 😮 the video got even better ❤
🃏 to play any role 💯
Im playing joker
Superb!
I wish I could have had a one to one with this man
Thank you ❤
Thank you.

Yes it is lets us start with giving #Respect.👀
Where can I find this WITHOUT the music?
*I'm so grateful to watch this video. Thank you, I can learn a lot of things! 💪*
The Music Is Amazing. And Right Timing.
I see what you did tgete with the music.... thank you!!!🌟👏🏼🪐
As soon as the music started, the lecture was ruined.
Yeah kills it
Yall don't get it
I prefer no music too. But if you’re here, you certainly have the skills to move past it.
Lol. Fool.
😂
❤🎉when the Music Started.. i sat up to started to listen 🎉
a good story has all the elements
Imagine smoking a bong with Alan Watts 🤤😯

That's arrogance in believing your emotions were unable to be taken for granted. If you're playing the game, stay vigilant.
I love the music
I really like the music
The music is loud and distracting. Mr. Watts' words have quite enough power on their own.
Does anyone have a link to a video with this same talk, but without music? They mixed it in way too loud.
That last bit, tho. Wow.
If life is a game, I lost it decades ago.
Spot on
Adding a second complaint about the addition of the music because it not only doesn’t add any value, it is a terrible distraction.
Oh man I haven’t heard this talk without music before and when it started without I said HALLELUJAH. And then 20 secs later the damn inspiring music starts 🙉
😊😅😅😅😅😅😊😊
I find it helps to keep the monologue from sounding too serious ❤😂
The music is distracting and very unnecessary. Please remove it so we can enjoy this beautifully profound lecture. Thank you!
Wild and free
Me too
Thanks

How am I supposed to listen to this? All I hear is loud piano with Alan Watts speaking in the back ground somewhere 😢
AGREE! Not against background music but... this music TOO LOUD and therefore its not background... it is drowning music.
Mute it and read it, then.
Sounds clear to me. You’re creating yoor reality where you can’t hear 😂
I was really enjoying this until the music
I feel the editor is really doing some odd job cutting off full length lectures at odd conjectures
And way too loud. Drowning out his speaking. I’ll know not to follow this channel.
The fact that nobody talks about the book whispers of manifestation on borlest speaks volumes about how people are stuck in a trance
Joker or fool o is the ultimate player. Like the spy in Stratego.
Why the music? 🤦♂️
I love Alan Watts, but this xhalter i didn't understand what he was trying to tell us. Can someone please give me a summary
Please turn up the music volume . It’s not loud enough . Thanks !

How do I get rid of chronic debilitating pain?
Emotional pain can manifest into physical pain.
Look up books by Louise Hay she explains it very well.
why the background music...
God is just the goat
What game we going through
I hope I'll play well 😊
Would've been better without the music.

Its not a game when the rules are continuously broken and change, we are then just enslaved to life...
I'm lost we that music...
I imagine him sitting at Druid Hights and thinking these thoughts.
It was fine until the music started. His message is enough. No need to add drama.
Obtrusive music was unnecessary and distracting from these brilliant words and at 2:30ish in(?) crazy
