    I saw this by accident on PBS one summer day flipping thru channels (Turning the dial by hand!). I'd never heard anyone talk like this but it made so much sense I had to stop and listen. Every word made an impression on my 15 yr old brain and I have never forgotten it. How marvelous to see and remember it once again as I was and as I am today.

    In my humble opinion Alan is at his most eloquent when he talks about the real meaning of Christianity. Its particularly powerful because he originally trained as a priest . His beautiful talks on the subject are available on TH-cam. I would urge the Pope , Archbishop of Canterbury and other leading Christian teachers , to listen to these talks in order to understand the Christianity you should be preaching .🙏✝️🕉️

    If you like Alan Watts, this one is as keeper. If you discovered just now Alan Watts, you might read enough to discover his very own fallacies, which made him a Man with insecurities about women, death, life, nature and what encompasses our very own insecurities. He did not pass peacefully, making him even more relatable as a fellow human rather than a prophet.

      In the 70's it was Vietnam, Watergate, Kent State, Roe vs. Wade, Inflation etc. Nothing changes, it has always been like this, in every decade. It's just the perpetual dance of Yin & Yang. In the 5th century BC Lao Tzu wrote the universe is forever out of control. Just enjoy the show and don't get caught up in the drama. For every bad there is an equal and opposite good. :)

  • @garypuckettmuse
    @garypuckettmuse 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    What?! What kind of technology existed in the 70's to do this? People wandering around in fields with cordless microphones attached to their person making clear crisp voice recordings? Sorry I worked in 8 mm and 16 mm in the 70's and, of course, there was no video -- let alone digital. And where did they hang the mic from -- the clouds? If you read the description closely you'll see it's a bunch of garbled information. Mark Watts was born in 1973 so he clearly did not "make" this video in the 70's. I mean the voice is clearly not connected to the image. C'mon people we're going to have to grow some discernment if we're to live in this fake world. Love Alan Watts. Most important public intellectual in my life.

    • @BitofNothing
      @BitofNothing  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      He's at Druid Heights, which is a cabin. So when he is walking around in fields, he is actually right outside of that cabin, so he probably has a corded mic. This was a television special and the information is correct and according to the ending credits and Alan Watts' estate, run by his Son. Alan Watts died within a few years of recording this. I am not sure why you think there were no videos in the 70's, or if I am misunderstanding what you are saying? Also, the voice is connected to the recording and does line up, lol I'm not sure where you are getting that from. Even when he is talking in the distance you can see his gestures line up with what he is saying. The only thing I added was images and background music, because it is required when using Alan Watts material. I appreciate your discernment, but I'm not here to fool or mislead anyone.
