    When I swim and when I dance I crumble, then fall, then come alive again. It's splendid!

      If I might add my two cents. I'm there two😂...in all seriousness take a look at the philosophy of the solar body. Your magnetic body. It helps to have an idea like a map of sorts, to know that we are possibly changing to the next body from this one. Wu Wei leads to the next stage the heart or solar existence.

    Since millions of years people that have already died , died and the universe is still here alive. Not true nothing is falling apart. We are part of a living universe God. Stop being so negative. Do not lose your time being negative and pesimist. Be happy to be part of a living universe, energy God

      Just as you can say everything is falling apart you can say also that everything comes to life. Its the two sides of the same coin, you cannot have one without the other as Alan said million of times. The reality is that for something to come to life, other thing must fall apart, so everything is in fact falling apart and at the same time life is constantly renewing itself.

      I think Alan Watt helps us to understand that the negative is just part of life and it shouldn't bring us down but live with the flow which makes you be at a better position, as the universe/God takes its course.

      I think a lot of people are scared of suffering a horrible death. My music minister was a beautiful lady of god. The doctors gave her a pill that made her gain weight. She looked like a model. It also made her suffer 6 years then she asked her son who became her pastor WHY was GOD DOING THIS TO ME ? That was hard for me to hear. She recorded music could sing and play the Hammond B3 & the piano and died way too soon. I think a lot of us are very scared of suffering. They are POISONING OUR FOOD AND DRINKS we are buying from the stores. Chemicals are in everything. That’s why there are hospitals on every corner and drug stores on every corner. We are living in a time that no one grows their garden in the back yard any more. My parents grew a nice garden. Once you start eating chemical laced foods and drinks you’re going to get sick sooner or later and all we can do is pray we die in our sleep. I’m not scared of death I’m scared of suffering. I believe humans should have the right to be treated like we do animals when they are sick we end their suffering. It is very inhumane to allow suffering. You won’t get it until you are suffering. I get it. I’ve seen it. People getting sick because of the WHO THE GOV THE FOOD AND DRUG COMPANIES are all making us sick slowly but surely do we live on a merry go round rude you cannot get off. Stop buying foods laced with chemicals. Start trying to get off SUGAR that is making everyone sick fat !!! Watch the doc FAT SICK AND NEARLY DEAD.

    This was what Jesus was trying to demonstrate for us to follow. That to gain life you must first lose it. I have never felt more free than after surrendering to the loss of all my roles as it happened outside of me. The way I look forward to my final release is with such relief and joy because I am. This illusion, including my physical body, has been nothing short of a burden, although necessary for some time.

    I just do not understand the need for background music. It is so distracting annoying and foolish to add a musical track to a speech. Imagine a scenario where Alan Watts has been invited to speak in a large room filled with people and as soon as he begins to speak, you turn up the stereo and play some music. Where is the sense in that?

      ​@@jayc3110 The music is distracting. Some people enjoy it when there is music to help them know what to feel, other people prefer to listen to the lessons without the emotional coaxing. I think it's a good sign that you prefer learning and pondering without music.
