Life is about the balance between solving problems and and enjoyment being mentally healthy. There can't be any "but" - pretending problems don't exist and aren't worth paying attention to is a false and dangerous philosophy.
@@Anton_Sh. You are taking a 13 word sentence and trying to find a way to "debunk" it....don't dig so deep at it. Of course there are problems in life and some worth paying attention too, but way too many damn people are depressed and have anxiety problems and are always worried about something...even, and often, crap that is way out of their control. Life is too short, experience it the best you can, ignore most of the bad crap you think is out there after you, handle the bad crap you can that is actually something you can control, but just live your life to your best ability.
But is this quote taken the wrong way? I feel as though we are constantly wanting to change in order to improve ourselves rather than expecting who we are which is to say, the universe. So in realizing this we are free from worrying about being any different than we are at this very moment.
Offtopic, but yes. Alan means that all your actions, intended or untended, is you. If you were ordered to do smth and you did it, It is YOU who did it. You cant just say I was ordered. If you wanted to become a singer/businessman at youth, but your family went against it, you cant blame your family for changing your mind. You can blame only yourself.
@@nurikkulanbaev3628 Blaming things on yourself or not. Even though an occurrence might be someone else's fault, if it affects you it will be your responsibility how to deal with it. Rather than blaming anyone for actions that a person took. It is more fruitfull to investigate what motivation you had that made you do those actions. Linking back to what was told in the video. Do we even have choices? or is it all a flow actions and reactions.
Nothing I’ve gained in life material or economic has brought me to the decision to love self this has been since birth I’ve felt this way I always felt not believed but felt that self love was very important to my SURVIVAL
This was literally my first trip on psychedelics. The boundaries between the self and the other are inexistent. I call it the “here and now state”. Everyone seems to be trying so hard to be themselves when there's no need to worry, just let it be. It's an eternal flow of energy that leads to universal love and existence.
For those who wanna practice: Take 5 moments a day "the reminders" in which you think, say, imagine it. So, you cut the tomato, you think that the tomato is you. You see the tree, you are the tree, you walk outside, you are the sky, the sky is you, etc. Though still intellectual, this will help integrate the idea, in you, in your meditation. Then, in your awakening moments, in your taste of Truth it gets "easier" to comprehend that you are the whole. Good luck! From me, which is you.
This idea kinda scares me sometimes, i dont wanna be smth as cruel like a pedophile or worse ; a politician If i watch a horrormovie, then it is also me
I keep it way simpler, just breathe... Experience the air and that's it. Even scientifically, the atoms and molecules that we breathe all have been circulated trough other humans, animals, plants, trees etc. It's an constant flow. And all I need to do, to remember that everything is connected is just feeling the air I breathe.
@@Asder5f I agree, it is scary; and it is an important realization, motivating mindfulness of what we support, in this example, supporting scary movies. Life takes dedication & a willingness to particpate
@@Asder5f everything around us (good and bad) are manifestations of the whole spectrum. Though there are ugly parts, you have to accept them along with the righteous ones because everything depends on the balance 😌
@@Asder5f Read the short story "The Egg" by Andy Weir. In it the main character dies and has a conversation with god. “Just me?

@@gic8849 I’m depressed too, I also have severe anxiety, I understand this unexplainable feeling of dread and sadness and fear. I don’t think anyone can really understand what it is like without going through it. We can’t blame them but it is really beyond words. And sometimes even in the lowest lows it’s beautiful if you can take a step back and see that even this is just a ripple in the universe, completely meaningless and non influential to the big picture. And most likely if we really come to terms with that even the anxiety and sadness will be nothing more than a faint memory.
No it makes sense. You did C because of B. You did B because of A. Only in reflection can you understand the reaction to any given action. But in life the action comes first.

When I did psychedelics a while ago, I had a thought expiriment (thought about it a few times but on psychs it made me 'feel' the most). Think of this. You are you, and you came into the world the moment your mother gave birth to you. But did you really only exist from at that moment? No, obviously you came into existence when your father and mother convieved you by merging of their 2 cells. But then. Doesnt that mean that you existed even before you were born? Because you didnt just suddenly exist. The things that made you, the things that literally *_are_* you, already existed. Your parents already contained you in them. But then we might as well say that the moment your parents were concieved, you started to exist. But that would mean that the moment their parents existed you also existed. You existed the moment the first human ever existed. But thats not true either. When the first dinosaur existed, the first fish, the first multicellular organism, when the first cell ever existed, you existed with them. You may live only a few decades. But you have existed since life exists. And I find that a pretty cool thought. One can even say that we all existed even before life. Life had to emerge from the lifeless. The big bang set in motion a chain of events, creating matter, forming galaxies. forming planets and the earth. Eventually that chain of events created life, and you and me. Does this mean the big-bang contained information, an accidental, random, maybe intended blue print to create us? I dont think we will ever know.
I always like to mention an interview in which Fran Zappa just said: “Man, do you know what the real problem in the world is? Mental health. Because if everyone worked on their mental health (meditation, education, psychoanalisis, etc) problems between people would be completely different.” This video reminded me of it.
Without a doubt, Alan Watts is my favorite philosopher. He takes the most beautiful ideas from cultures and religions all around the world and makes them palatable for a Western audience. His words (both written and spoken) have been a grounding force in my life for years.
I listen to Alan every night I go to sleep, I've heard all his talks over and over, but I still love and am amazed by his poetic words every time. He's seriously changed my life for the better and has made me more positive and optimistic enjoying the here and now.
I like the artist’s interpretation of the words Allan watts is talking about . It always feels like a scene of color when you hear the man talk . Always paints a mental picture w words his brush.
This is the first time I've listened to Alan Watts. As a newfound spiritualist, his words moved me. I've never heard of someone putting the words I don't have so beautifully.
yes he transforms school into skool lmfao. i generally dont follow marketers of others' philosophies as their own,but sheepling others is good dollahs these days and always.
i dont thank him,speak for self. . i thank all the buddha and other spriritually-unscathed-by-money philosophers amd leaders. hes no gandhi or mandela. cmon. lol.
@@princessruth9155 they’re thanking him for making the words accessible for a newer generation! A lot of people prefer to watch a pretty visualisation while listening rather than just a blurry video or some such. It helps keep focus I find! Art’s always a nice addition.
Your videos just get better and age so well. After skool is truly where we learn, just like my own life, I didn’t wake up until after I left school and found zeitgeist in 2007 and, here we are. Love to all my universal sentient family. Namaste
This opened my eyes. The past traumas, mistakes, wealth, and egos I’ve built up don’t make me who I am. I give myself my meaning. Not everyone is perfect, no one will be perfect. But the reality in truth is we give ourselves a true meaning. No one else. I was. I can. I can’t. I will. I won’t. I will be….. I am, you are.

A overwhelming sense of connection to every single atom in the universe. Very hard to explain in words, but this experience definitely reduced many of my psychological anxieties.
Who honesty thumbs these down? Someone on their way to a job that they hate, working for a machine that doesn’t recognize them. These are positive, educational videos. They are incredible and really have changed my mornings and days.

@@au9parsec NOT REALLY. Any one can have too much ego. Perhaps you are equating ego with surplus goods or consumerism or riches. there are plenty of poor people with large egos.
I been up all night 🌙 watching these after skool videos even at the bar and the after party just got home and Damm I have not felt this peaceful in a long time .. thank you and blessings to every single person in this lifetime..
I always knew that more people needed to hear Alan, the concrecence is closing in ever more, he was a highly self aware Human being and i thank for sharing his outlook on the experience of being alive 🤙🏾✌🏾
Not sure why my posts get tossed. Alan Watts was a true genius. He changed my life a long time ago. I was so unprepared for life due to no father, incompetent mother and zero coach or teacher mentors. They never cared or explained anything. I was so stupid, I thought my anxiety was just me being a punk coward. Lived in shame and buried it. Then, substance abuse to mask the anxiety heart attacks. Stayed that way, until the Internet came in the 90's because the only adult that taught me anything useful was my MA instructor. If not for archive folks like Alan Watts and George Carlin, I wouldn't be around anymore breathing. Thank you Alan! Love your artwork here After Skool.
I am so grateful for these videos, this feels like the most important pocket of the internet I've ever stumbled upon. I was raised on McKenna and Hicks and when things turned to trouble it was Eckhart and Watts who inspired me to come back to life. Keep up the good work!
Again- after two years where I am struggling - this channel makes a relevant video for me. I am sobbing at how this hits home and how much my soul/heart are weighed down. Saying this world is okay helped me a lot. So much more to this but no matter what it was helpful for me.
Your animations and the themes on which they are based never cease to amaze me. Absolutely loved it. Thank u for spreading wisdom in such a gripping way.
To hear Alan Watts speak aloud on a concept I haven’t felt able to bring up in any setting before was imperative to me realising the sanity of and compassion associated with the thought that “what’s discord on one level is harmony on a higher level.” Hearing that message was a gift, and despite listening to countless hours of his lectures I hadn’t heard him say it before- thank you!! 😄
Just when I needed you hear this, it pops up on my YT feed. Whenever I am lost, listening to Alan brings back peace and reconnection of awareness to Source. I give thanks to The All for the reminder, that in the apparent midst of darkness I am not alone. I love you Father; please forgive my self inflicted ignorance.

Were all miracles, thats why most feel not special, but its just people intune on different levels with how much of a miracle and full of potential we are as a species. Being connected to everything and having the potential to be aware of it.

@@au9parsec NOT REALLY. Any one can have too much ego. Perhaps you are equating ego with surplus goods or consumerism or riches. there are plenty of poor people with large egos.
I been up all night 🌙 watching these after skool videos even at the bar and the after party just got home and Damm I have not felt this peaceful in a long time .. thank you and blessings to every single person in this lifetime..
Wow, I needed to hear this, thank you! Alan Watts is a legend.
So beautiful! Alan watts genuinely had an incredible way of viewing the world and putting into words how he feels and experiences.
I always knew that more people needed to hear Alan, the concrecence is closing in ever more, he was a highly self aware Human being and i thank for sharing his outlook on the experience of being alive 🤙🏾✌🏾
Not sure why my posts get tossed. Alan Watts was a true genius. He changed my life a long time ago. I was so unprepared for life due to no father, incompetent mother and zero coach or teacher mentors. They never cared or explained anything. I was so stupid, I thought my anxiety was just me being a punk coward. Lived in shame and buried it. Then, substance abuse to mask the anxiety heart attacks. Stayed that way, until the Internet came in the 90's because the only adult that taught me anything useful was my MA instructor. If not for archive folks like Alan Watts and George Carlin, I wouldn't be around anymore breathing. Thank you Alan! Love your artwork here After Skool.
I am so grateful for these videos, this feels like the most important pocket of the internet I've ever stumbled upon. I was raised on McKenna and Hicks and when things turned to trouble it was Eckhart and Watts who inspired me to come back to life. Keep up the good work!
I've been following this channel for many years now, Alan Watts is my favorite
Why is after skool such an educating channel, I just love it
This is the most beautiful lecture I've ever heard
This is exactly what i needed to hear, thank you so much universe 🌌
Yes!😍😍
Alan Watts was( still is 🤔 ) an inspiration and wealth for planet Earth...Pure DEVINE
KNOWLEDGE...NAMASTE
Just beautiful. As always, a HUGE thank you to After Skool
Again- after two years where I am struggling - this channel makes a relevant video for me. I am sobbing at how this hits home and how much my soul/heart are weighed down. Saying this world is okay helped me a lot. So much more to this but no matter what it was helpful for me.
Your animations and the themes on which they are based never cease to amaze me. Absolutely loved it. Thank u for spreading wisdom in such a gripping way.
These are amazing, thanks so much for sharing this with us for free! I know it wasn’t easy!
Great job illustrating such profound ideas!
To hear Alan Watts speak aloud on a concept I haven’t felt able to bring up in any setting before was imperative to me realising the sanity of and compassion associated with the thought that “what’s discord on one level is harmony on a higher level.” Hearing that message was a gift, and despite listening to countless hours of his lectures I hadn’t heard him say it before- thank you!! 😄
Wow excellent explanation Sir.
There is my castle and my cherry tree. How beautiful when you have drawn reality. I'm so appreciated and thankful to you
Love this channel thank you for helping me through my awakening journey ✌🏾❤️
Alan got me through many tough times. Thank you
A true legend has spoken🌄
Just when I needed you hear this, it pops up on my YT feed. Whenever I am lost, listening to Alan brings back peace and reconnection of awareness to Source. I give thanks to The All for the reminder, that in the apparent midst of darkness I am not alone. I love you Father; please forgive my self inflicted ignorance.
WHAT AN ARTIST THE GUY WHO PAINT MAKE ALL ...INCREDIBLE ...I WATCH 3 4 TIMES...WOW U ARE A NEW AGE PICASO MY BROTHER....DON T BE SHAME DO WHAT U WANT TO DO I WANT TO HAVE A CAREER IN THIS...TO MAKE WHAT U LIKE AND PAY IT FOR IT.....TNX U FOR THIS..I NEVER SEE SOMETHING SO BEATIFULL
Were all miracles, thats why most feel not special, but its just people intune on different levels with how much of a miracle and full of potential we are as a species.
Being connected to everything and having the potential to be aware of it.
Love these thought provoking videos in the middle of my grind watching sunset on top of hotel roof, kinda loud but cause of boiler but beautiful.
Every time I see Alan Watts on this channel I automatically know this gonna be amazing ♾❤️
This moved me to tears, thank you. Absolutely beautiful.
Allan Watts is the reason I can even fathom that I'll one day will be a bit more closer to OK.
I am strong, powerful, loving, caring, peaceful, happy and harmonious.
So so good. Thank you After Skool.
Mesmerizing and so Profound! Incredible explainer artwork too!!!
Beautiful. Just… Beautiful. Listening to Alan’s calming words over recent years has changed my self-awareness beyond measure, loved this lecture! 🙏🔮
Perfect. Fantastic. Alan Watts is just pure zen and love.
Thanks Alan watt and afterskool💚
I get random shivers when I listen to Watts..
The amazing AfterSkool. Great work!
As a fellow left-handed white board user I'm amazed at your ability to create these illustrations!
This video was fantastic. Really needed that today. Thank you.
This video just brought me down from having an anxiety attack about my purpose so thank you 💜
I’m so thankful for this channel & all of the amazing featured beings 🤲💛🌟
To summarize: each individual is a thread that makes the blanket of humanity.
This is outstanding, even if my ego doesn’t quite grasp it yet... beautifully done.
You’ll get it in time friend.
The ego never grasps anything. The trick is to quit identifying with the ego, which is nothing but an irrational idea of who you are.
@@tomrhodes1629 ego is needed in order to process the things of this world, including this video by using Langland comprehension. I get what you mean, generally ego gets in the way of our well-being.
That voice. I wish my audio-books were recorded with that voice. The message of course is transcendent. More Watts please!
watching this while on any psychedelic is amazing omg
Jelly
This video made cry. I feel so touched ❤️
We are forever changing, we’re a different person than we were two minutes ago, and will be a different person two minutes from now….Evolution. Forever evolving🦋✨✨✨
I would reply but I don't know whom I'm addressing.
@@mikeyh0 yet you’re here 🙃
@@stelliumX5 Turn your head right side up and then watch as my comment sails over it. Dax, you are not.
tears of harmony come falling into my heart, my heart finally sewn finally stuffed, finally whole now, maybe not tomorrow maybe not yesterday but now is all i live in so i live with a whole heart forever until i dont and then i will.
incredible strong message! you‘re the fire you must enlighten in others!🤩
I love that opening statement. I tell my children that the way they feel about themselves is going to be corelated to the way their peers respond to their actions.
i gotta watch this video again when im an adult and i can understand what he's saying
Are u an adult yet?
@@chokispokis I'm going through a rough time rn and that question is harder to answer than I thought it would be; legally no, not yet but very close, thanks for asking :']
@@mizzle2 haha ok cool. It was more of a reminder
I had the thought just before I watched this of "How do we get in the habit of repairing things ? Then I watched this, thanks Alan Watts & After Skool
Realizing that some of my trials and troubles in life were actually essences of Harmony within the higher self.
This has helped me with everything in life.
Such profound teachings. Thank you for uploading these videos for humanity. May you be happy ❤
