Man what a genius. I've been listening to his talks for years now and the more I walk that spiritual path, the more intense and amazing his speeches become. Never seizes to amaze...
Thank you for reminding me how beautiful the world is. I've been so wrapped up in my magic. I haven't stopped to look at the world. And remind myself how beautiful life truly is
I'm so very thankful that Alan and his son had the awareness to record and keep so much of what he said over time. He was gone 4 years before I was born, but at the same time he still spends time with me nearly everyday and saved my life. I guess you could say he's my guru. Thank You, Alan!!
Life is full of wonderful surprises and I discovered Alan Watts for the first time last month. What a wonderful and insightful human being, hard to believe he has almost been gone fifty years and yet so much of what he speaks of its almost as if it was said recently, amazing. I now make sure I connect with AW on a regular basis to learn, to absorb and to totally remind myself of the joy and dance of life.
Alan has given me the tools to survive this life for many years. I often think of this; if I was alone on an island with everything I needed including the skills to survive, everything I did would be perfect. My actions would be the norm, the standard. How wonderful it would be to remove that dark cloud of negativity of not being adequate! I realize that if I could do this in that situation, I can do it in this situation. All we have to light the way is our own minds. Once we second guess ourselves, we are moving aimlessly in the dark.
If you are looking for fulfillment in time, you miss the purpose of life. Why do you chant or meditate? Because it is joyous energy. Nature practices economics of exuberance. Humans practice economics of lack. As long as you look for an object of desire, you lack. Thanks Alan. 27 June 2023.🔬🌺🌞🦅🍭😇🎯🔎🚈🐘🌞🌝
When I’m making a painting there’s a sense of loss when it’s finished, because the best most fulfilling part of painting is all in the process not the finished piece. I used to hoard my work. Now I let go of it. In this way I’m letting go of the past. It doesn’t matter what happens to the painting when I release it into parts unknown. For all I know it could land in the dust bin.
What a good soul 💟 He truly wanted ppl to find the inner meaning(s) of life and their inner wisdom and find that contentment Living in the moment Being present in the moment Finding the joy that the universe provides through it's beauty and naturalness You can find it as you start to connect to nature In the moment without thinking A calm mind An acceptance of oneself Peaceful heart Contentment I'm really striving to reach a higher level of consciousness and enlightenment before I leave this life ✨✨✨ I 💗 these videos It's like spending time on another plane of reality Away from the chaos of today's world 👍👍 👍👍
Finding yourself is disappontingly easy. You don't even need guidance. Your Self is forever present across all experiences and dimensions, including dreams. It's NEVER missing. What appears to missing is just a part of you that you've forgotten, because you have sent it "out there", on a quest to find what's missing.
I have just found out I no longer have a job, I can't find a new one, I have been searching for the last couple of months but heard nothing back. I am now in the middle of a Typhoon labelled a category red, I am stuck indoors with a hot cup of English breakfast tea and the sound of the rain and heavy-winds up to 200kmph (125mph) pounding against my large glass windows, listening to this remarkable man on my loud speaker. It's a true ASMR experience. Isn't it ironic how we come into this world with nothing, we then try to hold on to things and then we leave with nothing. It feels to me like we are born into a Matrix paradigm until the plug is unplugged on the other side
I like Alan Watts ... He has a very nice calm voice. But I did not leave one religion, Just to get involved in another one, And let someone preach to me and tell me what to think, how to act, how to be. It's not there choice, It's mine ... I am old enough to know better by now. Thank you, But no thank you. I know what is best for me ...
How do you know what a Buddha is... If by chance you've heard, observed, read, certain characteristics within another and an ancient acknowledgement rings intuition and it's a most beautiful recognition one nods. 😊 After a few years you see the Buddha in everyone ❤ Alan a most beautiful little Buddha ❤
Look into his past it explains a lot he was NOT a happy man, father, clergy man, professor, husband etc… alcoholic 😏he had a interesting relationship with Father Sepharim Rose ☦️
This doesn’t sound like the real Alan Watts. While it imitates his style, the depth and flow of his usual work are missing. It feels more like an AI-generated attempt to mimic his philosophy, but it lacks his distinct voice and clarity.
It is pure joy to listen to Alan Watts but he seems to me to be an nihilist, albeit a positive one. Also, his ”lectures” seems to be based on the paradox of hedonism. There is no meaning to life (nihilism), but to enjoy yourself (hedonism). Life is a game according to Watts. I prefer this before all the monotheistic believes in the Abrahamic religions which have drenched the western civilisations and most of the world in sin and guilt. The meaning of life might be swimming or dancing, if you enjoy those activities. But if I enjoy hunting, polluting or grabbing power, is that equally fine? If I enjoy destroying the environment, killing animals and humans why should I not do that? Many do seem to enjoy killing and destroying while believing in a God that will punish them for those very things. Many even claim their God expects them to kill and destroy (those who believe in other gods). But why should we restrain ourselves according to some version of the golden rule if everything is basically meaningless? It seems to me that humankind is destined to propagate to the point of our own extinction. We keep on multiplying until all the essential resources are consumed. Why are we breeding children for slaughter? To dance before the altar of death and extinction? Do we not have any kind of collective survival mechanism?
What an amazing human being Alan Watts was and still is…

Mr Watts voice is my meditation
If you are looking for fulfillment in time, you miss the purpose of life.
Why do you chant or meditate? Because it is joyous energy.
Nature practices economics of exuberance. Humans practice economics of lack.
As long as you look for an object of desire, you lack.
Thanks Alan. 27 June 2023.🔬🌺🌞🦅🍭😇🎯🔎🚈🐘🌞🌝
'the purpose of life is not in the future,' thank you for this beautiful and powerful reminder Alan 🙏

This man is litereally the man who can talk about i don't know for hours
You have aged very well and you are a beautiful creation of the Universe thku for sharing your perspective with the 🌎✌️😇
Alan Watts passed away in 1973, he is not alive today.
🤦
❤️🙏🕊
@k29king1 Thku I didn’t know that. What a great man he was
Well said
Thank you Alan...
Your voice for many a night have been my best friend
Alan Watts, my lantern ❤
What a good soul 💟
He truly wanted ppl to find
the inner meaning(s) of life and
their inner wisdom and find
that contentment
Living in the moment
Being present in the moment
Finding the joy that the universe provides through it's beauty and naturalness
You can find it as you start to connect to nature
In the moment without
thinking
A calm mind
An acceptance of oneself
Peaceful heart
Contentment
I'm really striving to reach a higher level of consciousness and
enlightenment before I leave this life
✨✨✨

He has a very nice calm voice.
But I did not leave one religion,
Just to get involved in another one,
And let someone preach to me and tell
me what to think, how to act, how to be.
It's not there choice,
It's mine ...
I am old enough to know better by now.
Thank you,
But no thank you.

Focus on good memories then
Embrace it.

Please upload more Alan Watts clips without music backing
Golden goodie ❤
That should have been his last speech. Pretty much a summary of everything he'd ever said
Nature is the OG of Extra
any of these with just Alan Watts speaking and none of the crappy music and added audio effects? Thanks
Our 20th century sage
I was born with THIS understanding, in 'my head'. One energy...or reincarnation!😂
Is there a version without the music.
Background tracks
is dancing and singing necessary?
🙏🏻🙏🏻
I really wish i could phone him..hes probably tell me to phone myself!
Alan Watts is universe speaking to you❤
You've been sitting in the golden goodie the whole time
Well it sucks lol

Whoa he died the year my mother was born... Thas wild
Where can I go where only God follows me? I must wait until they are no longer scared of that of which life is.
✝️🛐☯️look into his relationship with Eugene Rose ie. Father Sepharim Rose ☦️😇🙏🏻😏 interesting dynamics in their “college” relationship 🤔🤨
🙏❤️💯👏😎
I am completely alive, in a world that so powerfully insists spiritual death through fictional preservation from physical death.
Why was Alan Watts so depressed?
