To know thyself is so simple yet for thousands of years people can't comprehend it. How many have tried to explain the I am presence and how many times has the ego spun it into something else? Before you were some-thing you were no-thing but awareness.
“Awake and relaxed” is the challenge. (Read any Carlos Castaneda? Don Juan or one of the sorcerer’s made a chair that had sharp Rocks for the seat!) (As a joke but as a philosophic principal) Most people are sleep deprived and don’t even know it. (In my opinion a bigger hurtle than mistaking thinking about it for doing it)🤔 I did a nap experiment Once, where I let myself take a nap every day until I stopped feeling sleepy. It was scary cuz after three days it seemed like it was never gonna end. Like I could sleep forever. It took three Weeks! I really got scared and thought it was never gonna stop (the sleepiness). But it Did. However, I read a story of an author who wrote “ Letters at 3am” He said after he took two years off (to recuperate from sleep deprivation and burn out) he thought he felt better. Even, “I’m back!” But, he said after two Weeks back was depleted again what seemed like after just two weeks. 😬
I loved Carlos Castenada, I was doing a lot of psychedelics at the time, Don Juan's explanation of the "petty tyrant" helped me make sense of toxic people at work... a friend of mine as a byproduct of finding his hands in his dreams and then lucid dreaming after I shared the books with him, he ended up feeling like he never slepped anymore and has to stop lucid dreaming to relax again... cheers and Namaste
I haven't listened to this video in a while, thank you for watching and noticing and sharing the highlight for you it has inspired me to do another alan watts video, cheers and Namaste
He really means we are already enlightened or we are enlightenment itself. We think that we have to do something to acheive it because deep down we have a problem or fear of life. In reality this is all there is and ever will be. There is only this moment. We dont have to do a thing about it@spiritualreliefchannel
Please leave your insights and feedback here in the comments... the community and I appreciate You !!!

That is not self remembering
Thanks for sharing your perspective!
Not sure this guy understands what awareness is and how it's used.
The use of the word alert.
Yes, Watts is a self described 'entertainer', not an enlightened being. Thanks for commenting!
