Between alan watts and ram dass these two have opened my eyes my mind and my heart to the world and the living the now moment and depression and anxiety disappeared almost like magic to this realization. Can never stop listening to alan watts on repeat
Love Alan Watts, his laugh, his trenchant but effervescent sense of humor. Thank you for this. Makes me so grateful for technology, albeit a double-edged sword, that we can still hear his laugh and enjoy his wisdom with the illustrated splendor of After Skool
Every time I listen to Alan Watts I always have these deep laughs. The way he breaks down all kind of modern day dogma just with a few cunning sentances is something that can't be repeated.
I say to myself, no-one is chasing me for money or anything, I don't owe any money or anything, I have a good balance, I am in good health, this moment is great, joyous, I am super happy, thanks to God 🎉 and I immerse myself in the here and now.
After Skool thank you for uploading these talks and the awesome visual drawings you create with them. A lot of AI generated talks are popping up especially with Alan watts and it’s nice following someone you can trust 🙏
Agreed. And thanks to his son, Mark Watts, for all the criticism he gets from lovers of Alan, he and Ram Dass' 'Be Here Now' Foundation have ensured his unadulterated and un-edited words travel on. I am so thankful to have been listening to him before all of the AI/modified lectures. Though, unlike perhaps many fans, I do very VERY much enjoy some of the musical combinations of his words and electronic pairings that have been coming out this past decade; as long as they are his actual words.
I hope this new year brings you joy and prosperity. If you like the art in these videos, please consider supporting After Skool on Patreon. Every little bit helps tremendously. Thank you! www.patreon.com/c/AfterSkool
It's been five years now, since I first discovered this man through this channel and since then my live has never remained the same.. His profound insights was like nothing I've ever seen ❤
Yes! Over the past decade, I've listened to and read from so many wise people in our shared past...but none seem to come quite close to the way that Alan's words resonate with what Is (for me).
Alan watts and terence mckenna opened my eyes, when i was ready for it.. i am eternal grateful. Alan watts with his happy life wisdom and mckenna with his clever planting seeds of fantasy ❤❤❤ Take care, give love ❤️🔥
We live in an eternal now, life is an Omni event. It's up to you if it will be positive or negative. So stay positive and focused. Peace and Love to all! Thank you for this video After Skool. I'm sure myself and a whole lot of other human beings needed this message NOW 🙏🏼
I automatically upvote for Alan Watts. After my venture into Psychedelics, his words and writings revealed to me who I Am. Thank you Mark 🙏. Your art and podcasts are really Something!
Thank you for this. Alan Watts changed my life, turned me from a negative perspective to the complete opposite. Life's good life's great let's celebrate! 🎉🎉🎉
This comes at a perfect time, I just saud yesterday I want to be more present in life, live more and think less. Enjoy my children as they are and not trying to rush to an easier season. Be more easy going with change. Thank you for sharing this.
May I say to the creator of these illustrations. I’m am so grateful that God, the world, the universe, all of the above. Has blessed you with the patience and creativity to sit down and illustrate these. I undoubtedly know I can do the same but by the time I’m probably 30. I would have to commit and truly want this for it to happen. But I don’t want to do that. Not right now at least. So with that in mind I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR YOU. I can not express it enough and I love what you (and the team if it is one) have to offer. May we work together some day. In Jesus name. Amen.
Thank you for your pure heart and intentions to make a difference in the world with your content! If you have any time and energy, please share more of these ideas which are truly matters!
I am sure many of us, including myself, thank all of reality for the existence of helpers like you 🙏 In his earlier years, my former 83 year old therapist studied under Ram Dass back in his Harvard days, and was one of the most powerful and caring influences in my life for the year and a half I met with him each week. He also enjoyed some Alan Watts in his time. Keep spreading the good news =)
It’s been awhile since I’ve watched one of your videos but I’m glad I stopped to watch this one! Hopefully I can remind myself of what he said longer than a day or two.
Fantastic artwork and story telling combination! You knocked it out of the park Mark! Thank you for the good vibes! Blessings to you and your family! ✌🏼❤️🌱
Thank you for the time and effort to create this! Your videos have been really impactful and it is artistically beautiful as always. Much appreciated 🙏🏻
You just live in harmony with nature. How much one can do this depends on those around him. Some people have much more leeway. But growing without leeway is what developed me into who I am with the knowledge and wisdom that I have… overcoming that pain and utilizing it each day… and yet no one listens… Because I must not know what I’m talking about if I’m still in a cage right? Wrong. It’s not my doing. I took and always take responsibility for all I am responsible for. Peace.
Alan Watts always had interesting lectures to listen to, and interesting observations to be heard. He was right, many people become trapped in the image they’ve created of themselves, a construct they cling to, whether it’s based on reality or pure fantasy. This image, shaped by fear, societal expectations, and ego, becomes a cage they build around their true essence. Unaware that their authentic self resides outside this prison, they confine themselves to the limitations of their ego, mistaking the cage for their identity. But within every soul lies the potential for liberation, breaking through the bars of self-deception and fear. True freedom begins when we dismantle the illusions of who we think we should be, allowing the soul and mind to align with the truth of who we are. Only then can we transcend the constructs of fear and ego, stepping into the boundless reality of our true selves. Great work and excellent animation as always ‘After Skool’
5:28 Not only is Jesus the Son of God, me too, am also the son of God (Hebrews 2:11, etc) So, I yield the warning, "Do not be anxious..." And this had really granted me the inner peace that even the Kung Fu Panda was looking for. Alan may have meant to be sarcastic, but this is my reality. And thanks for this superb message to start 2025, AfterSkool! Here is to a year fully lived in the present!
Thank you so much for your content. It truly is a blessing for us that you are following your nature. For to be interested in spirituality/awakening/whatever it may be called, and to mix this with your talent in drawing and storytelling is unique. It is not by luck that you have many subscribers and many pleased viewers. Thanks again for sharing.
Good News! i discovered that the brain/body is capable of setting itself Totally Free of fear, anxiety, sorrow, despair, loneliness, shame, guilt, confusion, contradictions, addictions, irritations, triggers, vanity, envy, greed, jealousy, attachment, possessiveness, ill-will, hatred, cruelty, bias, prejudice, and all other mental/emotional disturbances, in each and every moment of daily life, 24/7.
This gives birth to True Love, Peace, Happiness, Creativity, & Clarity, for the very first time. Not the love, peace, happiness, that the I, the me, the self, the thinker, the mind, imagines it to be, which is a limitation, imitation, and distortion. For the very first time, Soul is happening, Spirit is happening, Heart is happening. It is not temporary. It is happening in each & every moment of daily life, 24/7. It does not take time. It has nothing whatsoever to do with time, effort, or choice. It occurs faster than the speed of light. The children are ready to be set Totally Free at the earliest age so they don't waste their whole life with any mental/emotional disturbances.
But is it possible to be so selfless? Does selflessness become an escaping of reality? Things still hurt. Situations occur where our trust is broken and we feel lost. If I try to become a recluse of sorts....won't I be missing out on opportunities? Isn't exploring life and potential a part of a fulfilling life? Not just for material....but in a way to open oneself to the world?
In these verses, Jesus is teaching about not worrying. He uses the example of the lilies of the field, which do not labor or spin, yet they are beautifully clothed. Jesus emphasizes that if God takes care of the lilies and the birds, how much more will He take care of you. He encourages people to seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things (like food and clothing) will be provided as well. The message is to trust in God and not be anxious about tomorrow. ❤😊
I know some people who have done quite well eating numbers. They are the richest and happiest people I know. Money can’t buy you happiness, but I’m happiest when I can buy what a want, anytime I that I want!
its easy to hear and say oh yes people are so dumb and bluh bluh, and than resetting back to default, living in the present and today needs a lot of practice and self development
These videos sound wise in the moment but they are other nonsense if you think about it. If there’s nothing after this life, then enjoying things in the moment is completely pointless. It doesn’t matter if you’re a good person or an evil person. You are equals in death. “but if I’m a good person I can leave a legacy of good for others that are left behind.” No, they will also die and their experiences also have no purpose or meaning either. Our “good experiences in life” are like a great movie that is being played in another room, that nobody is watching. Nobody remembers it. If it ends five minutes in or plays all the way to the credits, the movie is pointless despite how beautiful it might be.
More Alan Watts please. Dude changed my life.
You changed your life. He was simply joking ;)
@@accadia1983 You're right. He's such a joker!
You should hear his podcast being in the way.
you did it!
Same here
Between alan watts and ram dass these two have opened my eyes my mind and my heart to the world and the living the now moment and depression and anxiety disappeared almost like magic to this realization. Can never stop listening to alan watts on repeat
Wayne Dyer as well. Love all of them!
Agreed! Give Joseph Goldstein a listen if you haven’t listened to any of his dharma talks.
@ will definitely check them out thanks
Love Alan Watts, his laugh, his trenchant but effervescent sense of humor. Thank you for this. Makes me so grateful for technology, albeit a double-edged sword, that we can still hear his laugh and enjoy his wisdom with the illustrated splendor of After Skool

let's see. Only if comments aren't deleted.

Your algorithm likes that he's dead😂
Every time I listen to Alan Watts I always have these deep laughs. The way he breaks down all kind of modern day dogma just with a few cunning sentances is something that can't be repeated.
Glad to see you find your inner god brings joy to everyone my friend!
Starting off the day with Alan Watts, love it!
also perfect here for evening meditation ;)
@@L4Nigav And for morning meditations!
I say to myself, no-one is chasing me for money or anything, I don't owe any money or anything, I have a good balance, I am in good health, this moment is great, joyous, I am super happy, thanks to God 🎉 and I immerse myself in the here and now.
Chasing something is like saying something is more important than being yourself. There is nothing more important than being yourself.
@ginosalihbegovic7137 You are correct, I don't give anyone the privilege to disturb my inner peace and tranquility 🤔
After Skool thank you for uploading these talks and the awesome visual drawings you create with them. A lot of AI generated talks are popping up especially with Alan watts and it’s nice following someone you can trust 🙏

THERAPIST HERE EXCITED TO SHARE THIS NEW ALAN WATTS AFTER SKOOL VIDEO WITH MY PATIENTS
I am sure many of us, including myself, thank all of reality for the existence of helpers like you 🙏
In his earlier years, my former 83 year old therapist studied under Ram Dass back in his Harvard days, and was one of the most powerful and caring influences in my life for the year and a half I met with him each week. He also enjoyed some Alan Watts in his time. Keep spreading the good news =)
It’s been awhile since I’ve watched one of your videos but I’m glad I stopped to watch this one! Hopefully I can remind myself of what he said longer than a day or two.

Thank you

Thank you for the time and effort to create this! Your videos have been really impactful and it is artistically beautiful as always. Much appreciated 🙏🏻
Excellent
Oh man what an amazing visual you are bro :) perfectly accompanies watts beautiful description of the world
You just live in harmony with nature. How much one can do this depends on those around him. Some people have much more leeway. But growing without leeway is what developed me into who I am with the knowledge and wisdom that I have… overcoming that pain and utilizing it each day… and yet no one listens…
Because I must not know what I’m talking about if I’m still in a cage right? Wrong. It’s not my doing. I took and always take responsibility for all I am responsible for. Peace.
Wonderful! I've heard him talk about this topic many times, but I've not heard him describe it so beautifully in other talks. Thanks
Cheers 🙏🏻
Another winner.
Life as it is now… 💲💲💲💲and more clutter. I connect with nature as much as I can.
Beautifull!
Thank you 🤎🤎🤎🤎
Brilliant. Great start to the new year. Thankyou. ❤
Did anyone notice that Alan Watts became Ai lien whats? Lately.
These Alan Watts talks are so genuine.
I just love your channel 🤗 Thank you for sharing art and wisdom. So valuable.
I love you.

Loved the yin yang illustration. Beautiful
This was such a good bit!❤
This guy & Ram Dass 🙌🙌
The skull eating a dollar on top of the stack of cash and jewelry goes really hard
"Sexing around" got a good chuckle out of that. Thank you for the video.
No waiting, just accept the moment.
The title of this video is something I've said to many people when asked, "What's eternity?"
Sorry, not the title: The Thumbnail.
It's been a long time since you've posted an Alan Watts video how dare you make us wait so long
ha!
Thank you for this 🤍
Just brilliant 👏🏽 I simply love this channel 🙌🏽 Happy New Year’s you dear souls, who make life on this rock hurling through space a bit sweeter 🥹🎊🥂
The perception of now, is the combination of the past and future. Or if you like, yesterday and tomorrow.
loved the angry mob yin yang
more often than not, i find myself at a loss for words and broke
Best part of the video is the absence of background music
Wonder what Alan would say about what's going on today. 😅 Thanks, After Skool. 😊❤
your animations are always great. i noticed the eye of sauron and 5G towers in this one. 🤠
Well done, must dash💨off to Patreon now👋
I have a shirt (Etsy) I wear often that says, “Listen to Alan Watts” in bold letters. Ha.
The be here now podcast Network has an alan watts series called being in the way cant recommend it enough.
👑
08:48 he lets one rip😂
Thank you for this comment. I don't think I would have noticed that if you didn't. I needed that laugh.
🙏🏻

I wanna hear the entire sermon. Anyone knows which part of being in the way this one belongs to?
