Confusing the world of symbols for reality
The limits to what we can enjoy in a material sense

“The point is to be wide, wide awake and aware of your total sensory input without confusing it with the symbolic world of words and concepts so that you experience life naked and directly. Experience YOU naked and directly, without having in your head the concept of who you are a role player, as a personality, as an ego.” - Alan Watts

Thank you for uploading these videos. I found your father’s speeches about 6 years ago and my life has changed so much that it’s almost unbelievable. No more worries, fears or concerns, I just trust the universe and enjoying this great show on earth that we call life.
Helped save my Life and put past all the negative things i usta be thinking and be into .. thank you rest in paradise
Theres nobody better to guide you than Alan Watts. For over 18 yrs his talks have helped more than anyone else. 😊
Thank you for the black screen and no music.
Thank you for upholding your father's legacy 🙏
His father's legacy was great but his legacy will be annoying overly long unnecessary introductions on these videos
Interesting observations. I don’t know how I lived to be 57 years old without this. I suppose we each have to find whatever helps us through this world of wonders & woe. While I found certain things illuminating & true; for me, there is so much more. Shalom
Amazing awakening teaching. Superb 😊👍🏿
Listening to Alan Watts has helped SAVE MY LIFE 💯🫂☯️🦋
That's great to hear, good for you. Can I recommend Thich Nhat Hanh, too. His books like The art of living and Silence have helped me see myself and life in a different way.
Its good you showed up for your father.
☁ Puff Puff Pass ☁ Namaste
this is exactly what I needed. Thank you!
Reality/Life = That which is/That I am
Some might buy power but what about attaining it and having control over yourself ?
Dear Mark, i am all for freedom and modern tech too, but that latest AI lectures that appeared and
pretending to be works of your father, Alan Watts, is too much! Even for me. It should be forbidden
to generate AI text and voice without (at least) explicitly write in the title that it's AI. Here's
one example:

Agreed , I find it sac- religious& a disservice to the message& the Man.
