Alan Watts: Joyous Cosmology - Being in the Way Podcast Ep. 21 - Hosted by Mark Watts

- Offering us the possibility of waking up, Alan Watts contemplates the joyous cosmology that we are God playing the roles of ordinary people.
This series is brought to you by the Alan Watts Organization and Ram Dass’ Love Serve Remember Foundation. Visit Alanwatts.org for full talks from Alan Watts.
In this episode, Alan Watts explores:
If there could be a theory of the world that justifies and makes worthwhile the difficulties and suffering that we undergo.
The contemplation that an infinite omnipotent being would eventually get bored with being everything, so would begin to shield itself from this knowledge, and pretend to play the role of separate beings so it could experience the full thrill of waking up to itself.
The idea of reality as God playing a game of hide and seek with itself for it’s own excitement and cosmic joke.
The difference or potential complete non-difference between the experience and the experiencer.
That what you think of as outside yourself is actually just a hidden you.

He should be doing this for free.. instead holds precious lectures and sells them. Stupid mark ur father will wish to be dead seeing you making a living in his name
I was listening to this podcast as I was falling asleep last night. Then I had a dream. Alan Watts came out from a destroyed building and I can't remember how he looked, but I knew it was him. I asked him: 'Isn't it suspicious that babies can't talk when they come into this world?' We both laughed and then I woke up. I was a bit weirded out and had a good chuckle. I'm still under the impression of that dream.
I dreamt the other night that I painted a tortured cyclops from the x-men, and the painting was slowly turning into a landscape with this tortured cyclops' features. So I bought an action figure in the morning 😊
I was a great Alan Watts fan in the 70s. Tonight I thought how much fun Alan would have in the age of AI and TH-cam. Then I thought "He'd be doing exactly what he's doing in this video - recording his musings on a daily basis on his TH-cam podcast."
This podcast is a real treasure I never get bored of listening to Allen I have been listening to Being in the Way episodes at work I have listened to every episode multiple times very enlightening podcast!! Thank you for the wonderful messages Allen conveys 😃💯
Allen Watts is great!❤👑
Thank you.
I experience some relief from pain listening to Alan Watts.
Thanks so much for making your Dad’s recordings available here on TH-cam! I really enjoy them. 😊
Me too. It’s been a blessing
Wow wow wow. I don't believe I have ever heard a more complete explanation of reality. Alan paints a picture of our experience that is easily understood. We are our experiences and it is us.
Alan's insights seem at time to be a John the Bapist preparing the way for the upcoming revolution in consciousness. Such wonderful word craft!
Mark, you are phenomenal for passing the torch and sharing it with all that is💜
St. Mark, our dear brother; as we hear👂both Uncle Alan's Eloquence & Resonance are like Golden🥇British🇬🇧Sterling, like a Crown💎 Jewel, in The👑Crown of the🕯️Candle Light of Divine🔯Hu-many-T!
Thank you kind sir for sharing your dad's work with us mere mortals.
Beautiful Mark for your dad's wisdom and these videos. ❤
Mark, your dad was a philosophical titan! Thanks so much
Mark
I love listening to you with your conscious, calm and informative voice and then your father’s exceptional wisdom…….no advers, no requesting money or making me feel guilty. Thank you!!!
He is unique, i never get tired of listening to him
This is why video games are so tempting. They work just like that.
Yeah...but most vídeo games are so violent! Its like they are made to create future soldiers!
But Alan Watts is anything but violent ❤🎉
Brilliant talk! “Let’s suppose” “That it is in control” “One of these days I’m going to wake up”
Thank you for sharing your father’s words, he changed my whole way of understanding who I really am.
Much love much appreciation to you all! So much power in these words when one really hears them. Thank you for sharing 🤙
Thank you for sharing with all of us these amazing speeches , Alan was the greatest in deeply understanding not only the inner nature of human beings but also the development of the sense of spirituality that more or less eveyone has and how it manifests in the physical world , in many shapes and forms.
I m really grateful to you and your father as listening (daily) to all of these teachings is really helping me (and i m sure anybody else who is following these videos) to understand so much more about life in general and also about myself , to lighten the difficulties and problems along the way and also in dealing with all the anxiety and depression
Im so greatful he spent his life the way he did
Mark. Thanks for carrying on what has been a unique legacy. I wonder if you had the ability to see the genuine genius in your own father growing up? Or how it was to have him as a father...Fascinating man! Thank you again!
Thank you for free sharing such deep spiritual insights, philosophy and epistemology.
I'm so glad you still upload! Thank you ❤️
Love his voice and humor and his wisdom is worth assimilating into your beliefs and assumptions about the universe and it’s natural law. “One truth one law I AM I create.”
He is really “Living the Earthway” ❤
Thanks Mark your dad’s been such an inspiration to me over the last five years. Thank you for presenting this to us. Love you.
Still one of my all time favorite philosophers/theologians
The Joyous Cosmology was such a great read. I still keep a copy in my library.
He's been my guru for years, though he wouldn't call himself so. Were he here now what would he think about the sufferings of our modernity? He predicted many of our problems with such prescience, and love for people! Thank you for sharing.
At the beginning he did mentions the soil issue!!! He was so ahead of his time!!!
Thanks So much for sharing the wisdom!
THANK YOU! I have listened to many many lectures by Alan Watts and this one is the best I have heard thus far. His presentation of this thought experiment is beautiful and very compelling. He starts playing creatively with very basic assumptions about the world and advances several theses, showing how to judge each by their merits and shortcomings. Gently and logically, the thought experiment leads to a place of non-duality.
Wow well said! I agree with you! What a wonderful blessing here now
@@capwlf Cheers, Brother Phil.
Alan has continued to be a great resource in my 20's, in both my mental and professional usefulness. I cannot thank you enough Mark for engaging this work, and continue to make it available to the public.
Thank you, Mark. Alan has been my chosen teacher off and on for forty years and this talk is a special favourite.
My husband and I experienced “That discovery” with each other. IT is Real. Mystical Union.✨💞✨
I love your dad. He seems like a really Cool and smart guy. Thank you for the videos on here. It's always a pleasure listening to him.
Thanks for keeping the background music in the BACKGROUND! Very annoying when our hearing competes to listen to spoken word. Too many Watts videos have terrible music that competes instead of supporting hus spoken words. This is a model for how it can be done in a complimentary way. Many thanks!
Just EXCELLENT.Perhaps here we have the best talk of Alan Watts as, among all the talks I have listen to so far, it is the one which answers in the clearest way the most important questions of human existence, that is, WHO we are and WHY things are the way they are.
One of the best! And you point out to couple of amazing answers to our never ending questions, in that of our human predicament. Thank you very much!❤
History Channel? WHO were these foreign guests???
If you are in confined spaces of reality do not be lead astray.
For if you are only thinking tomorrow, then you are not living today.
This is one of my favorite of your father's many excellent talks. I walked in nature and felt his wisdom resonate in me. Many thanks for this.
Ive listened to so many of these recordings that I start with "Hi, Mark!" 😂 Thank you so much for doing the work to bring us these recordings ♡ i know he probably wont see this comment, but my gratitude is sincere.
Reality is explained to people in the childhood, they take it as the truth and they see what were told.
Thank You for the timeless knowledge, both for revealing these ideas and for sharing them also!! 🙏🙏🙏
A thing emerges from a pre-existing no-thing, we are that no-thing & this is a dream of itself - you
This is so good. A lot of it I have come to on my own, but to hear the entirety of the Alan’s thoughts puts it into a more thorough context.
This floored me!!
I agree! Brilliant philosophy lectures!
Thank you so much for sharing these lectures. So precious.
🎵these eyes have seen a lot of loves but they're never going see another one like I had with you " haha
hi Mark....keep it in the family .xxx
Thank you so much for sharing , it really enriches my life. I’ve learned so much ❤
Well said. There's no other "higher self" which we can lean on and believe will make us more perfect. Instead of adding another Self, we make it Simple ❤
Awesome job Mark thank you. May you also have something in your life that brings u pure Joy in doing it.
Hey Mark, thank you!
That's Amazing You're sharing Your Dad's Experiences ❤
Namaste
Thank you Mark all the way from Hawaii 🌴
Mark, You are the new Generation of this thinking... or lack of... #muchlove
Ok this did something to/for me. Thank you 🙏
Does anyone else use Alan as “work noise”? I was just folding up a tarp for storage. Such a miraculous thing. A blue sheet of fine threads over countless blades of green grass. A trees branches above me and it’s roots below me. A soft breeze blowing countless microscopic things into my nose. But that’s gone. And I just Here Now, posting this.🃏
Thank you for sharing this it's very wonderful
Grateful that I get this stuff. Grateful that Allen was what he was. Grateful that it is available.
Allan Watts is a grate SOUL’n❤️✌️🎶🙏
My thx as ever. -Seb!
❤
25:55 I would definitely not choose to forget where I put the Paradise Button!
P.s. This has to be translated into arabian, russian, ucranian, spanish, french, israelian&EVERY language on our planet🙏🏽❤🆗 Nothing is real⁉️😮 this is the BEST story about Life I've ever heard.
Absolutely wonderful! Brilliant! Amazingly good! So much appreciation for this beautiful sharing! In such a wild, crazy and interestingly beautiful world, these philosophy lectures, are so helpful, insightful and inspirational, for better overall quality comprehension, in of this particular experience, this awareness, this emotion on individualized aspect levels, in of this perception of a human consciousness. Namaste, many wonderful blessings! So much love to all creation! In gratitude!
Gratitude 🙏 #TOGM

Good perspective
Thank you.

❤❤❤❤❤
Awesome ❤❤❤
Thank u
Oh yeah, thank you 😘
Thank you 😘💞
Thanks
I realized that the parts I don't like comes with reason
He's sure got it 😊
Having consciously transcended from materialism to Ahun Bramasme, Being, knowing Self, as source, cause, and experience, Being became desire to cognize how boundless-awareness is experienced as materialism. Effortlessly, spontaneously, and naturally Being,-Brahma, witnessed as 'Self'-Brahma, became relatively expressed as my universe.
I witnessed as the covalent atomic bonds of the entire universe changed resonant frequencies to Be this material universe.
This jiva knows his universe to be himself.
Thanks to your many gifts Dr. Chopra, Ahum Brahmamse 'Knows' from memory, 'Self' is Brahmomd.
Bliss fills awareness.
Your presence in awareness is deeply appreciated.
Namaste!
Stan

This is kinda nutty cause I remember when I was a child and I would imagine what I would do if I was God, and I imagined that I would incarnate as humans and act out history myself and craft a super fascinating world while also being hidden in it, and then I realized that if that was what God did, our world wouldn’t be any different.
We want the long talks. Where he takes an hour to make a single point, and he only makes a handful of large points over a few hours. And by the end you realize the seemingly disparate ideas were all saying the same thing, the same one he always is. That's the Alan Watts experience. Yeah, the bootleg uploads may have been edited poorly, but at least they often entailed something like that. The crappy edits may have even been more representative of his message than this format. He's only ever getting warmed up in the first hour.
❤❤❤❤❤!..
It happens in belief of the universal mind
It is a pattern and sometimes numbers line up wrong causing defects and actions of the parents during pregnancy
Will you please upload
His last lecture at UCLA ...I listened to it a few times they taken it down
🤝🙏🧘♂️
You wake up only to find out that you were woken up all along.
How/where do I find his podcasts about psychedelic experience please 🙏 🙏
Have u tried searching it on TH-cam?
I believe that Alan Watts would laugh at facebook and immediately discount it as absurd and infantile.
@12:20 to 14;10 this to me seems more plauseable!!!😊😊😊😊
Correct
Definitely it comes from within it brings me Peace of mind and I enjoy the art work it's just what now is my problem
53:27 Oooff...🫣
@27:55To 28;34. I know full well😊😊😊😊

🌞❤️🔥
