    Alan and the way of thinking he expresses is someone that is there for when you are in the lowest part of your life, to remind you that it's alright, there is nothing more than the eternal now. In his words:
    "I am not trying to help you or improve you; I accept you as you are. I am not out, therefore, to save the world. Of course, when a stream or a bubbling spring flows out from the mountains, it is doing its thing. And if a thirsty traveler helps himself, well that's fine."
    The recordings of his lectures and conversation will remain forever in the memory of technology, to help thirsty travelers along the way. He turned my anxiety into laughter. Thank you Alan!

    I will turn 51 years old this month. I feel grateful for the chance to have experienced this life thus far. It has been and continues to be what I can only describe as a trip to the carnival or amusement park. I have worn many hats and had many professions in this life alone. It feels as if I have already lived 10 lifetimes and ye I remember my childhood as if it were just yesterday. This is one hell of a ride!

    5:50 - 6,30: ''All references to the 'hereafter' should correctly be understood as the 'herein'; as a domain deeper than egocentric consciousness... you go on inwards - the Self deeper than the conscious attention... you go inwards to eternity.''

    • @NickParker777
      @NickParker777 7 วันที่ผ่านมา

      ​​@@santinokuliyad1915hereafter refers to what we understand comes after death, the "afterlife". Watts is suggesting that time and the happenings here are always occurring simultaneously as the true consciousness, the second "god-face", perceives them all at once. One face is dreaming while the other perceives, and time as we know it has no basis to the perceiver which is eternal. Time is an allusion and all this lifetime is a play being experienced. You feel like one being, an egocentric consciousness, experiencing your slice of time. But we are in fact all beings at the same time, and only through going deeper within to eternity can this be recognised. The Kalpa idea is that we spend a large number of years, millions, dreaming only to spend an equal amount of time outside of dream.

    sometimes i think what represent game is good. War. In the war, you can do everything. No limitation. All badass all evil no restriction no ceiling.
    At the same time, on the contrast, war field is a best place to taste the love and kindness with no limitation. I can do anything on you. Well, not only hurt you, I can also love you in a way out of your imagination.
    This an infinite game which two edges of it are unlimited.
    Is it good game. Well, I cant say it is “good” from my bottom of heart. So many tears in the world. But in the view if game design, I must say it is really a Great Game.

      That's right. Alan Watts was a philosopher who explained things in a way to help you think about it. I'm glad you're asking others what they think. And I'm glad you express some thoughts on your own. But sometimes there is no answer. Sometimes it's only a paradox for you to keep thinking about

      Luke 17:21 where Jesus explains God’s kingdom to the Pharisees is close to this ”know-it-all-ego-garbage” you are talking about. But you need to be interested also in Jesus’s words to understand.
