“You don’t know what consciousness is because consciousness is present in every conceivable kind of experience. It’s like the space in which we live, which is everywhere. It’s like a fish being in water, and presumably a fish doesn’t know it’s in the water because it never goes out. A bird presumably knows nothing of the air, and we really know nothing of consciousness.” - Alan Watts

This man is still with us and I'm still thankful.
That's an idea, man has his day.
Oh my… I struggle but finding Alan Watts… about 5 years ago… has been such a help, so soothing and considered, reasoned and non-judgemental. I am so very grateful. It is easy to criticise modern technology but the ability to touch a piece of glass on this super-computer in my hands and be served such wisdom is truly a blessing.
@Stephen Crowley Hey Stephen I didn't mean physically with us. I think you might need to keep mr. watts on repeat. It doesn't seem to be sinking in yet.
If 👣 hu can't see😮 your head then you must😢 feel 😂 your head 😅 with your🧠mind🧘
It's been quite some time but i'm SO GLAD that i'm hearing his lectures again! 🙏🏽
Very enlightening video, There’s this woman I got in touch with during the 2020 lockdown which cost me my job. Ms. Norman Davis helped me manage my assets by introducing my to the best trading platform and strategies, I earned a lot of $$$ working with Norman at the comfort of my home. I still keep in touch with the amazing lady
Hi there, I’m commenting from Switzerland . Interesting to know she connects with people from different parts of the world. Such an ambitious woman. I got in touch with Ms. Davis early this year. As a newbie in the market, I had little knowledge on predicting the stock market, but with Ms. Norman weekly analysis and advise profits are guaranteed! I received three times my initial deposit in a week!!
I have a master in mathematical finance, so it wasn’t so easy to get me convinced to begin an investment without me carrying out proper research on her. I had her broker ID checked and she’s fully verified! So I began with a few bucks, only to get huge returns in a month. I reinvested and now I get long term monthly returns… So glad I don’t rely on pay checks anymore.
Not a lot of people are aware of this new market, only a handful know how it works, I was fortunate to reach out to Ms. Davis the beginning of last year, she put me through the basics as a mentor would do, I learnt and earned massively from trading at the comfort of my home.
I’m trying to create long term wealth to set towards property one day . How can i reach out to her? she could be of great help

Thanks Mark for sharing you Fathers words with us. ❤
I always find my way back to Alan Watts. Something inside of me recognizes the truth when I hear it and everything he says has that quality
me too ! Also Ram Das
Alan had a genuine gift and he gave it to us, no strings attached.
Never pompous, never arrogant.
Pure unadulterated wisdom w/ additional humor.
Maybe it’s just personal to “me”, he adulterated the fudge out of it 🤭 0:11
Kurdas Volvo bdobllmidedl snus?
😊
Alan watts, Terence McKenna, Ram Dass, Carl Jung, and Aldous Huxley were the real teachers
hey mark. I am glad you are still doing the work.
What a genius philosopher & teacher.
When everything seems to be going awry, Alan Watts' voice is like that of a strong kindly father figure who brings sense back to you... Extremely grateful! Just the voice for the times we live in !
Sitting on the porch in the early morning sun in late spring after a long winter with my dogs listening to this and feeling a hitherto unknown to me feeling of relaxation. Beautiful and witty and charming but also very real and gritty. Thanks for this.
Me too. But a year later. Almost the exact same situation. Today is my dog's birthday.
Wonder what the dogs made of it?
Thank you for continuing to make his wisdom accessible in 2023. Much appreciated!
The best professor to have done it
His voice resonates throughout the universe… he was always one with us and we will always be one with him. Still it’s so nice to hear his voice
We're all Alan Watts.
The Universe explaining itself.
Watts as in en*light*ening!

Thank you very much …..It’s Amazing……thank you Mark …. Your Father Is Powerfully Alive ….. 🌞
Thanks Mark.
Love Allan Watts.
🌀🌀🌀🌀☮️🙏
Timeless transmission of truth
What a mind and great speaker.very enlightening, he makes it humorous. What a loss to the world.
Alan Watts videos are always the best.
Just let go. We make excuses to not be free. The edge always looks dangerous but the edge is possibilities for us. The universe has a edge but that is the perception. You are that. Only you stand in the way.
If there's an afterlife, I wish Alan was the one to come and guide me.
He has 😉
I've actually thought similarly. I hope his energy finds us in the next life.
The teachings he has left behind are just that
I always love to hear the siren of an ambulance or someone coughing, a chair being moved.
Reminds me that that was now
Cosmic wisdom flows through his words
This is already beautiful …..🌞
A chronic habitual sense of muscular strain of which we were taught doing things to spontaneous order.
That ... is the tension, the anxiety !
Absolute perfect description
Whenever I’m feeling overwhelmed, or depressed, or just not great in general, I come back to listen to Alan Watts. It just centers me again and makes me remember not everything’s so bad. I can keep living. I can keep trying. Maybe I’ll make a difference in the world, maybe I won’t. But I can keep on trying.
Good thinking, keep going eh? Sounds nice
Miraculous, cannot thank you enough, for the true sharing.
One through-line that I've gotten from Mr. Watts over time is learning to get out of my own way. For me, the more I can do this in a healthy state, my life improves 10 fold. Blessings.
I’m so grateful for Alan Watts. I’m grateful for this channel, and I’m grateful for the law of the universe. We are the universe experiencing individual consciousness which is a blessing. Our journey that brings us to this present moment is precious. We can find strength from the turmoil and gain new insights and perspectives. Thank you for this video 🌿🧿🪬🦋
Amazing how he touches essence and takes us there, shows us what it feels like
While some people are watching mrveast videos im over here listening to alan watts for free
Everything is good
I just think it's so amazing that you're doing this with your dad it makes me want to cry
Thank you 💓💓☺️
'Alan Watts' sounding... ineffable indeed and embodying all the deliciousness of Life Being. Thanks for invoking such delight - and confirming (not that it's needed) that 'verbing' is utterly natural.
A candle looking at a butterfly. Thank you . INCREDIBLE 🕯🦋💖
He helps me EVERY SINGLE DAY
Mark the best thing about your DAD. He doesn’t take himself seriously and lets others feel the same. I smile when I listen to him talk better than most comedians. We are a joke when it comes to our egos. No matter what we are in a experiment of the one. The one can’t be that serious it made us. We are trying see but we are too serious. God smiling at at us is our serious concern forGOD
And that is -All Great …. Listening With Big Love and Real Pleasure…..🌞
Thank you so much I've been listening to Alan Watts for a long time and he's awesome
Timeless beauty
Excellent episode!!!
This guy I will always keep close to my heart ❤️
Thank you Mark for these videos, your interpretations add a wonderful level of understanding.
I had a dream once where I was given the opportunity to ask God a question. When I heard the answer from the formless voice, it was Watts voice. I have come to realize this decades later after watching these TH-cam videos. I probably picked up the voice from a record I listed to at a young age. I asked, "Why are we afraid to die?" The voice of God--in Watt's voice, said, "If you fear death, it means you are off the track of your purpose. When you are on track, there is no fear of death. This is the universe reaching out to help you stay on track." Go for your purpose. Co-create with the past, present and future to make it happen. Be the circle!
that is so Awesome!
Thank you for sharing this! What an important message, so timely and synchronous with other realisations and messages I heard today ❤
"boing" really is fascinating.
It's easily one of the top 10 sounds.
Boing boing....boing...
Thank you for this,you said bong and it made me laugh.
Lmaoooo 🤡
@Agorist
Humor is the best.
@@cheri238 Million ways to laugh, every one is the path. - The Who , join together with the band 😂❤
@@brucehitchcock3869
Lol You wanna make a snowman?
Convey the message clearly is what I hear from Dr. Watts.
Must be cool to have a man like this as your father, as opposed to people like me that had to go against the grain and figure these matters out on my own... but then again, the journey has been satisfying.
"Never think that war, no matter how necessary nor how justified, is not a crime. Ask the infantry and ask the dead."

Genius 🤯🧘🏻✨🌙🪐💙
Great work putting these two together. Beat the horse, it's been dead since we can remember.
Wow this is now one of my most cherished of his talks.
40:16 This is so spot on. And xmas was mild in Watts's time
Yes WATTS getting his dignity restored with his OWN names of his talks on his work. Full talks too!
Not that those who have chopped him up have the attention span for the full talk
I just can not listen to a second of my man Watts with music.
You know what's weird is that I can only listen to him in long form, I find it almost pointless to just listen to a 5-minute clip of him.
@@TangibleAndroid with those awful soundtracks in the background. Horrid
@@paulallen2919 agreed, but to each their own. I enjoy all the cackles and pops of the silence behind him, feet shuffling somebody coughs or sneezes a plane flies overhead stuff like that. All of it adds to the ambiance but if there's music or Sound piped into it set the big turn-off
The backround sounds and noises do
simulate sitting in his masterclass of
a room! Any, with him in it.. talking...
The sessions here with music I'm
not as bothered by like some, but
I do prefer the silence with Watts'
voice alone. *It is more intimate &
effective in getting us to go within
ourselves as we listen. Better able
to focus on the depth of his points.
whatever can get you bothered controls you, enslaves you.
I’ve been listening to alan watts for a few years now. Hes one of a kind. Still trying to figure out how to make my own reality though lol
You've been making your reality the entire time you've been here. You just need to observe closely how you do it. It's in all the little things you do! 😉
I've been listening to him for years. If you listen to him long enough, your ego will dissolve and you'll awaken.
@@Gadasaa ive been listening to him for years to and letting my ego dissolve is something i would never want to happen
@@YTIR1 i understand your concern. That means you haven't gone deep enough. 99% of people who listen to Alan Watts don't really get what he's talking about. So, no need to fear.
@@Gadasaa It doesnt take time to awaken... since you are already that which you seek. What takes time is for people to accept that they're not just a body or a mind. There's a perceiving quality to their existence...and it is everpresent....whether theyre aware of it or not.
He’s so cool. I’m now an uber fan boy.
How can a noun start a verb?! FANTASTIC... and such delicious sounding from a master of 'Tao'/this/kinspeaking. Thank you for sharing, especially with all the background noises perfectly happening.
i love this & the whole team 🎉💜💯🙌
Imagination is Planetary,
Inspiration is Systemic(Solar),
Intuition is Cosmic.
The 4th Hierarchy is Humanity,
Esoterically the Earth is a ...'Vibration of LOVE',
an Qasis, ...cosmically known as a 'Quick-Silver Drop.'
Maestro Alan Watts is really a Fine Musician! A Great Singer! His voice is really a Beautiful Musical Instrument! An Instrument Of Peace...Are there any recordings of him singing hymns and folksongs and reciting Shakespeare! He is also a superb actor! Did he perform in stage plays? Has his son Mark Watts written any personal memoirs or youtubes about his father? Does Mark still communicate spiritually and confer with his father? Did Alan Watts believe in the Afterlife?
Blessings
Been listening since i was 17. Such a long time ago,and we "lost" him so early.💖😑🕊️☘️
I have all his books…all
His writings are such that I can open any one of his books..from -wisdom of insecurity to -the Supreme identity to -joyous cosmology..any book randomly and continue reading and find myself in the Center of THEE never ending story…ad infinitum
Just came across this tune yesterday, it just appeared from out of nowhere ❤
Whooooooooooo!!!!!
You got Zakir Hussein!!!!!
TOP TIER Sounds from a living legend, good job!!!!!
Boing!
I live in Sausalito and often think of Alan living there... as I write my book!
Now THAT upside-down brakeless lawnmower was an UPSIDE-DOWN BRAKELESS LAWNMOWER!! What control...vurry awshum!!
It is so true…….🌞
Even don’t know the 😂interpretation to interpret …. I am already excited to Listen to this -Lecture…..about This …..🌞
Thanks for the Inspiration keep up the good work 🙏
pay a tension!
Really great to hear the son narrating introducing the videos. Would love to hear his incites to his fathers words
Yes, you're right Alan, "IT"" is Ego, Ergo, & I Go, but 2 come & not have 2 Go is the Ruler 📏 of the Show🎉👄🎶. Voluntary/Involuntary Core🎺👏, Chemical or Mechanical, tell Yore👁️Self, 2👣Wake IT UP NOW😊
Hello to everyone who jumped rigth to the ecstasy stuff
Would of loved to meet alan watts where we just talk about meaningful highly philosophical conversationsand stuff
What do we find when we fracture our mind?
That there is more that lies behind the eyes.
Look and you will see that behind the you, there is a me.
☮️🙏💙
💓
Not a happening, a becoming. I have become the becoming.
36:30 this is why I use. And so did he. This vicious cycle. Both these lectures I have never heard yet. It made me sad that I heard that he died sad and was still drinking. Makes me think I need to stop smoking weed finally or take longer breaks. And the kratom is gonna be a mf to stop using.
Let it be what it will be. The past is not me.
Watch a baby to reach out and touch the moon! My new mantra

at 28.00 min ..Universe means turned to the 'One' as does university
Why you believe in suffering experience it let it go
One has to embrace death with each breath through awareness. Thus one has to embrace suffering, stay with it, and let it go. This is being human.

So then 😇
Alan Watts is confusing ppl many times.
The knower and the seer are the same one.
First he was saying there is no knower.
And later he was saying the seer is what we are and that is why we can not find it.
But I am able ti find the seer because I am aware that I see.
There is the seer.
I am a self reflecting coscioysness.
I am aware of my awareness.
There, I have found the seer and the knower.
They are the same one.
I have lustened to Alan Watts a lot abiut 15 years ago.
But when I listen to him now, I feel that he is confusing people in some cases.
He is making it unnessesarily mysterious and complicated.
I have a serious confession to make. Even though I find Taoism/Buddhism quite logical and beautiful, I also find that I'm quite possibly the worst Buddhist that has ever lived. So Sacrilegious that I can hardly even stand myself. Now I have to meet my new friend and have a couple of beers and leer at women. Do you see what I mean? So much desire, and so little time.
Can we consider everything male the father, every female the mother?
I am guilty of distracting myself. Is guilty the word? Perhaps not.
As guilty as I 😂
What does it mean when someone says, "He was praying really hard!" Do they imagine that God is sitting up their weighing how much we meant it? Oh, he didn't really mean that, it was just an errant thought and I don't have to take it seriously. Whereas, this guy, boy oh boy was he really praying hard and really meant it, so I had better comply.
'Commercializing the child' 😁 what and ending..
What if u know others did it u because they told u?
Good advice from an alcoholic, smoking, failed father of 5. Unfortunate that he could not defeat his own demons.
How is this relevant?
Mr. Watts is always right it takes a real man (ya know a pimp) to know the difference between yoga pants & spandex & kid of to-day with thier spanks lol for he's always joking with-in his lectures
16:42 in other words, well just 2, lol, SELF-CONTRACTION. Ego is an activity that ‘creates’ illusion, and delusion. It is an imaginary dis-ease! 😊
Listen first to Carl Jung break down the human nature and it’s components, then listen to Alan Watts and you will see elucidations far more revealing and complex analysis that approaches a foundation for self learning and teaching us to live in good self understanding and then we can be understanding of others. Watts delves only so deep and is clever reductionist using spiritual and interpretive concepts of meta cognition that he claims to be worthy of adopting, but he falls short of Jung’s genius.
You're right! Namaste! 🏹🐈
What if a person has no ego because of trauma?
You still have spirit, true nature. You can lose the Ego and have to accept your true nature, your life goes on. You can never lose spirit, it's always there, shadowed by the ego and mundane thought, even in death a part of it remains, you could also call it soul.
@@danielmarinov3560 Yeah it never goes away. I think what can be made seen for people with traumatic incidents is this fact. Through circumstances they wouldn't have dreamed of, their guide lines in life are shattered and seeing you still remain is sort of a blueprint for that.
Regardless of trauma, it can increase presence in the moment exponentially, and for me that is a joyous thing. I'm so glad to be alive.
The 'ego' is not a noun and is not as 'bad' as is constantly made out!
The bragging, bombastic bully is only one of many egoic forms. Others include the helpless victim, the righteous rescuer, the people pleaser, etc.
Ego is simply how you have been trained to think and act. Trauma can do that in a big way.
There are many ways to find out who you really are. They all take courage and humility, to question everything you ever thought you knew. Depending on your unique disposition, some methods will be more effective than others, which can be confusing and dejecting at first.
Can recommend Rupert Spira and Helen Hamilton as gentle guides who do not use dogmatic or religious jargon (that can be an obstacle). They both employ direct-experience methods that are especially useful for those with self-regulation issues (a common effect of trauma).
@@lousialb8962 Wouldn't trust any of them. Watts came out with one of the greatest lies in recent history and that says it all! And I can't believe he didn't know!
