Why Would Anyone Be Concerned With The Universe 🤨
All the answers are in the bible.
Easy to say mister Alan!!! Are you married and have kids???? Do you have loved ones??? 😅😅😅😅
@@apogeeangel2387the reason is cause it’s amazing thing and trying to figure it out is just so much fun.

I Just Meant, IT'S Powerful, And Controls Our Earth
Everything…E V E R Y T H I N G…is dependent upon your thoughts. Realize that you are not your mind. You exist behind it. Your mind is like an unruly child throwing thoughts around. It’s up to you to start managing your mind. Start observing it. Then take what is positive and leave what is negative. When fear or other worries enter my mind, I say gently to myself “I appreciate the suggestion, but I’ll decide what I think,” and then dismiss it. It takes a lot of practice every day and in most moments. But it becomes attainable with meditation, which is the training ground for managing and quieting the mind.
Becoming the observer of our thoughts makes for a master of them. Thoughts are things. We create with our chosen thoughts. Thought forms are as much "alive" as you and I.
This spot on!!
thank you so much for this comment
Can You please recommend how to start Meditation correctly?
Yep, that is the door to bliss. Read The Power of Now, folks.
"Man suffers only because he takes seriously what the gods made for fun." -Alan Watts
god didnt make fear and suffering for fun they made it for us to grow
no god is needed to intervine, ty.@@aarongottfried5595
“Did you think that We had created you in play (without any purpose), and that you would not be brought back to Us?”
Al Quran
Those gods are just fallen angels from genesis 6:4. 2 Corinthians 4:3-4 Satan is god of this world.
So true! Indeed, it's all a game! Uncertainty and figuring how to "win" makes the game worthwhile playing. Once there's certainty without a challenge, the game has ended. Time to start over.
I am thankful for Alan Watts on the days that I need reminders that I'm not crazy. I'm happy to be experiencing this life with all of you right now in this moment. Be blessed.
And may you be blessed, always!
❤❤❤
Same to you 🙏🏻
Be blessed
Thank you for these words, I appreciate your appreciation. Much love to you.
"When one threat is exterminated, you immediately start to worry about the next threat". It turns into a vicious cycle.
Very true...
Push it out. Try try not to worry reverse the cycle
Essentially… like a television show with multiple seasons
Jesus and his teachings are the only way to eternal life anything else and false teachings lead to the pit of hell unfortunately. Read bible book John to know how to be saved
@@turnfrmsinorhell_jesus Jesus??? 🤦🏾♂️believing in christianity is MORE crazier than believing in aliens. U people know that 💩 ain’t nowhere near real. It’s a glorified Harry Potter book
@@RunEnDownRicky Jesus is real wait till you experience the Holy spirit there's nothing like it on earth, it's hard for me to think that some people live and die without knowing it or experiencing it , so sad. I thank God I got the chance now I try tell as many people as I can . Read bible book John to know more. It's also not often you meet someone that knows how to transfer it or explain it so I wouldn't let the chance pass by it may never come again
I was crippled by fear my whole, my greatest fear was death. At the age of 55 I took pilot lessons and flew a plane by myself, it changed my life forever. I have zero fear of stepping into what ever God asks me to and I am definitely do not fear death. That was January 4 2018. My life is amazing and my best years are in front of me.
Very beautiful, God bless you 🙏🏻
He truly was a genius.
It is crazy to contemplate this great man, the voice in which we are enjoying and learning, was turned into ash 50 years ago... Mind blowing.
What a label, he was more than words. I hope you enjoy more and more of his teachings
I always love Alan
A genius for studying Buddhism and coming out with things which are already known by humanity? You'll have to explain the genius part
@@alexanderNorseCode to be able to connect the teachings in such an eloquent way, and collect them in an order and context that is revelatory in the audience. Quite the skill, genius some would say
all musicians use the same notes too, they dont all need to discover their own notes
The greatest lesson I've learned in life is to not hold onto anything when it leaves. Feelings, thoughts, beliefs, fears, whatever. Feel it while you and let go when it leaves
That’s called shallow affect. It’s not normal. I’m sure your children really appreciate it…
@chelseacraft4669 I don't have any children, so......there's that
This applies to loved ones as well and it is quite difficult for me as I get very attached to those I love.
@tygerlillee i feel ya. Sometimes, it takes a very private but massive cathartic release for me that can be quite dramatic.
Letting go doesn't mean you are indifferent. It just means you don't cling
You don't need smoke weed all you need is to listen Allan Watts
Weed + alan watts 👌
You don't HAVE to eat mushrooms but you'll never know their secrets until you do.
@@louiepooh1510No, that's not true. If anything, Psychedelics show you that your whole life has been the magic of the universe all along.
Yeah, you don't need to...... But it doesn't hurt😉
"A friend with weed is a friend indeed" 🙏❤️
well the gist of the situation is that we humans are created by a field, this field is the universe, and its all connected, so we are god because we are the universe and the universe is god u dig?
“The world is like a ride at an amusement park, and when you choose to go on it, you think it's real, because that's how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round and it has thrills and chills and it's very brightly colored and it's very loud. And it's fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time, and they begin to question: 'Is this real? Or is this just a ride?' And other people have remembered, and they come back to us and they say 'Hey! Don't worry, don't be afraid - ever - because... this is just a ride.”
- Bill Hicks
Yeah, young Bill was full of waffling BS too, just like old Wattsy.
WRONG
And then we kill those people! LOL You better shut them up! I think that's the next part to his skit.
The best way to overcome fear is to realize you don't have two choices, but three. You can choose to succumb to the fear and live in fear your whole life. You can choose to fight the fear, then you live an aggressive life chasing paths that lead to more fears, to fight. The real third choice is to ignore fear, and live a life with infinite possibilities and the paths you choose are yours. By ignoring all the uncomfortable paths through life, you open opportunities you never had before.
I loved this one ☝️ 🔥🌠
I believe accepting fear is the true path to peace and wisdom. Choosing to deliberately ignore something takes a certain amount of resistance, a manipulation of attention, which creates more friction and conflict in your life. Accepting means embracing and therefore not having a problem with it. It ceases to torment us and instead becomes a natural part of life, such as joy.
The only good in you is your awareness and the only evil is your ignorance.
@@sebastian6736 I'm not aware of any fear that acceptance resolves. Embracing fear means to live with it. Ignoring fear means you refuse to allow that part of your mind to dictate where you will go. There is no more resistance in turning away from fear and not allowing it to rule your life, than there is in deciding to be the master of your own destiny. Enjoy your path, it is not mine.
@@ryugo7713 That sounds exactly like something that came out of a Deepak Chopra quote generator.
Just stop thinking and there is no worries.
Thoughts create reality. Only have thoughts of what you want to create in the positive.
❤❤❤
Said the preacher to the student. MUCH Easier to preach than practice, none the less BE There. Never give up the Adventure! 🥳
Thinking is definitely overrated
@@chillydawgg4354100% haha
MAN ARE YOU LOST! ONLY GOD CREATES FROM NOTHING ,WE USE WHAT GOD CREATED BUT WE DO NOT CREATE.
To worry is to stifle your life. Just take the moment your living in at the present moment
Alan if only you knew the impact you have nowadays on millions of people
"The only thing we have to fear is, fear itself"
No, frearing fear is the worst kind.
It is circular.
There is no fear!
When you don't fear fear, fear disappears.
Giving the show away is just as bad as not knowing it's a show.
The universe wants a show, otherwise it's boring.
The Spirit is the ultimate showmanship.
2:55
The secret is not to be afraid of fear.
If you don't resist fear, you master it.
When you resist fear, you set up vicious cycles. Worry is chronic fear.
If you don't make yourself into a preconceived idea of what you ought to be, you are on the track.
Thanks Alan. 3 April 2023.⚽️🌹🎯👻🔥🍍🍁👻🎈
Thanks. This was very helpful. 😊
Because wherever you go, there you are.
@Alchemy this means I am interacting with myself only but I think I'm interacting with different ppl?
Master your fear!!
I like the Idea of getting on board with worst case scenario, accepting it means no resistance and has no power over you
Grab your popcorn 🍿🍿🍿🍿❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏God bless you all. Our best days are ahead of us..... Let's.... Goooooooooo
I basically discovered all this while taking a high amount of shrooms. But its so crazy while tripping because I KNEW It like I knew the sky was blue, and I realized the way I lived my life and the way I looked at everything previously was completely wrong. Then I woke up the next day and it was hard to see, but I'm slowly getting back to that point (: Much love!
Shrooms is magic, it's able to put you in a certain mind state and then has the ability to highlight and reveal EVERYTHING....
Me nd my gf are on shroom micro doses 👌. It gives us both soo many preceptions. 🙏 love and light.
I did shrooms over 20 years ago. I still remember seeing the trees breathing, and every blade of grass and everything in nature was more alive and vibrant than I’ve ever seen it, it was a beautiful sight. But I can’t do that anymore, my old brain can’t take it
Yes , but as Ram Dass points out, it can just as well done thru meditation. Also I think It can be done thru just serious contemplation. It's all about the desire and the spark. I think if you're reading this, you already are blessed. Aloha 😎🤙🙏😉🥳
Aho🙏🍄💙
I love Alan Watts. He was truly a philosophical genius
PHILOSOPHY IS ONLY THE VIEW OF MAN , NOT THE TRUTH OF GOD.
@@MICHAEL-lb1siYEAH WE KNOW, shut up
Feel the fear and do it anyway ‼️
I realized these things when I was a kid, but I thought I was crazy. I fell into drug abuse and tried to suppress the thought that it was all an act. That thought scared the hell outta me, cause I was afraid of being alone in the universe, with the others being just "me".
God keeps the planets in orbit and the stars suspended above us. He's got this and He's got you too. Love to you 💛
Thank you! 😊
Nah, that’s called “physics”.
@TheTrueKing Genius just gave a name to his (God's) way of working.. yeah we humans named it physics
God is an intelligence & works in a really complicated ways.. we just started undiscovering the things via Science & that's a good thing.. but we can never know enough
This is another reason why 'I am' an Ex-Christian. I was never afraid of the fear, the religious right imposed on humanity/myself, and it helped me question everything I'm being told. I question the left and the right and everything in between. It's nice to be surrounded by such good people who are capable of thinking for themselves and making a stand with what they do believe, or don't. It really helps me understand the 'I am' in all my humanity.
The great man was a genious he knew so much that the vast majority don't! He certainly wasn't one of the sheep.
I notice, in my life,
all I do is navigate my way through the world...
Doing my best, moment-to-moment,
to endure the least amount of suffering as possible...
And I keep doing that every day, just waiting to die.
There's no joy, no hope, no happiness in my life.
It's just pain and trauma and survival and misery.
I live in poverty. I am ashamed of my life.
I have severe (c)PTSD.
My heart is shattered.
Rage and grief consume every cell of my being.
I pray to heal from,
and be released from,
the prison of:
- poverty
- aches and pains
- an inflexible mind and body
- diabetes
- PTSD flashbacks
- (c)PTSD
- suicidal depression
- homicidal rage
- grief
- guilt
- regret
- loneliness
- heartache/heartbreak
- repression/suppression
- soul rape
- a silenced voice
- a lack of boundaries
- perpetual aloneness
- obesity
- trauma
- obsession/rumination
- the past
- spiritual attacks/curses
I MUST DO MY BEST TO REMEMBER:
When I am feeling victimized,
I am over-valuating what I don't have,
and under-valuating what I do have! 😊
And to the little girl in me,
I want her to know,
“Your father’s angst, anger, pain, rage, and unhappiness,
has nothing to do with you...” ❤
Read the Power of Now
Alan Watts is a Angel of light
The comments in Watts’ videos can be entertaining. Our CULTure truly loves to point out others’ faults.
I find a lot of kind, loving, generous comments here.
I have been in the hospital for a bad case of sepsis and I also have to go back to the hospital for an exploratory operation to see if I have lung cancer and I am grateful for everyone and everything 🙏☮️🌎🌎🌎

BRILLIANT AS USUAL. We all know and feel FEAR it’s natural.
You have within you an incredible power to love and create positive change in the world! ✨
Embrace your uniqueness, be true to yourself, and let love be your guide. ❤
With each new day, let your actions be fueled by the passion and energy of your heart, and may you inspire others to do the same.
Remember, you have the power to make a difference, and the world needs your light!❤
If you are constantly living in a state of fear you aren't truly living, you are only existing.
We have not had a philosopher anywhere as good as Alan since he died.... prove me wrong.
I watched this 3 days ago. I didn't even need to think about the one question. I pictured a spiral and laughed " How did you decide which way to turn?" I didn't expect an answer. The very next day I was aware in laughter. " what the enemy made for evil, you turn it for good"
My, what a sublime voice this guy had! And his thoughts were pretty good too!
The show must go on
The show must END somewhere! I don’t find intentionally harming people and their livelihoods amusing in the least. It’s sick and twisted in my opinion. If there’s a problem it must be dealt with accordingly and in a timely manner or it just spirals out of control as we see it doing currently!
Agree Boss; this light show supposed to open ones penal gland, that is forcing this on individuals, not all agree or believe in this, thought we are to have free will, how is that free will? Not asking do we want this? Just imposing upon you us tyranny.
Alan Watts is my favorite
A true shaman. His words are medicine.
If I had the chance to meet God... I wouldn't ask him anything... but thank him.. for this video and for Alan Watts and for the BuddhaDharma. ❤
Who is Buddha Dharma?
@Ibraheem Jallad one of the laziest question ever. You literally asked that question in a space you can easily find out
You have the chance at every moment... Just thank yourself ☺️
The concept of God being assigned a gender. 😂
What A Very Good Perspective On Fear.
The More You Deny It, The Stronger The Grip It Will Have On You. Rather Allow Yourself To Feel It And Let It Teach You What You Need To Learn At That Particular Moment. You Will Find That As You Make It A Point To Be Comfortable With Being Uncomfortable, The More Confident You Will Get. PEACE AND LOVE TO YOU 💜💯✌️
When we ignore things that are bad, it is ignorance, for we only feed it by ignoring it. This is why our world is in chaos because people think by ignoring it, it will go away, which is the total opposite effect. We have to embrace it.
It's the same way with trauma actually. Interesting. Running away (denying it) just strengthens it and digs the hole deeper.
Where attention goes, energy flows. This is such a helpful mantra. Fearing something is just as good as making room in your life for whatever it is you fear. You attract what you're fearing by fearing it - bc where attention goes, energy flows.
@@alchemybyangela You are to fear God, not man.
If I had five minutes with God, I would ask for a four minute and fifty nine second hug.

This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my TH-cam channel 5 months ago about self development. Now I have 301 subs and almost > 100 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I couldn’t have learned without getting started in the 1st place.
"We have nothing to fear but fear itself."
Life is not a show.
.its a struggle...
Depends on what and how.much you want. But generally, Yes it is.
The universalism sought for and proclaimed by virtues such as love, compassion. . .is disfunctional and a giantic HOAX.

Thank you Alan Watts love to hear this man 💯
I wonder sometimes, about taking your own life and feeling good at it like you know that this has to be the end of it. And that you're feeling proud of doing it, you feel peace, you feel like the game is over, no matter how sometimes it was easy or not, you still made it over. You feel brave to do it. Was it part of overcoming your fear? Are we all just afraid of taking our own life as well? How cool when you have that feeling at that present time.
Just see it out its not worth taking your life life.
My dad always said we will all die someday that is a sure thing. But never take your life because you never know what tomorrow brings, things always change. He was right. I was at rock bottom once and the life I created now is amazing . We always have tomorrow never give up our time will come when the lord says so.
Jesus wouldn't like suicides
With everything I have uncovered (and I've been searching far and wide for 30+ years) taking one's life is not a way out but a surefire form of eternal punishment in the afterlife. We've been duped into thinking and even sadly believing that we are merely our bodies and nothing more. This couldn't be further from the truth. Our soul and God know what we never learn and never will be taught in this material realm. We must trust our soul's innate knowing of our beautiful connection to the spiritual realm and that it will always lead us back, but only when our time is right. Our souls can easily get trapped in the carefully created threshold of the spiritual realm (the 8th sphere) on our way to the ever after if we're not knowledgeable of and take heed to the work necessary in order to both recognize and bypass it. Suicide is a guaranteed ticket directly there, unfortunately. I'm sorry to say but Satan is most definitely real and your soul is what he wants. He's been at his game longer than most of us have been alive. He's quite tricky and has many helpers. He banks on our ignorance.
Rudolf Steiner's work is extremely helpful in innerstanding and navigating the spiritual realm and recognizing Satan and his work (Steiner calls him Ahriman). The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was making so many believe he doesn't exist.
@@kevinritchie6003 nothing is permanent. Nothing. Great words of wisdom from your dad!

🙏❤️ Beautiful!
Thank God for your messages.
Amazing. Always so refreshing
Absolutely brilliant. Thank you for this video👍
I like to think that I am there listening to Alan speak and I find myself nodding my way through his speech in agreement with him rather than nodding off to him because I get it
Thank you , so. Love and light 🚨
Ahhhh, dude. The intro is perfect. Let me tell you how once I was on mushrooms lemon juice watching some japanese animated real life zombie movie and I couldn't tell if the movie is me or I am the movie. The actors were speaking to me and I lost all notion of reality for a short delusion of time. If you didn't make this video I wouldn't have clicked on it after a couple of days seeing it.
❤ Alan Watts
Wonder full ❤
This guy amazes me...
So true
Such a timely video! Thank you
“To go near a fire without getting warm would require self-hypnosis”.
I just realised that this applies to people under the illusion too.
To be in this world and immersed in capitalism, watching videos, social media etc. is self-hypnosis. In fact, it is part of the mass psychosis we are all experiencing every day.
We are the stars that fell from above.
Accepting fear being the same as accepting fire gives off warming! Great vinology in way of looking at fear. Just another feeling. 😊
💜💚❤️
I needed this today. Thank you.
I wish so much, I could have taken one of his courses....in love with that voice!✌️

Fear is a survival mechanism. It's necessary just like everything else in existence.

There’s a difference between a toxic fear and a healthy fear
@@CarrieBiggerstaff A rose is a rose is a rose. But I get your point.
@@eddiebeer4516 "Fear is a survival mechanism" is self explanatory.
@@larrycharles6023 Maybe so, but it isn't obvious and not accepted as such. In fact it is suppressed and called a ' negative' emotion. I simply argue it is part of being human and necessary for our survival.
