Let's expand on the interpretation of Tzimtzum, a concept in Kabbalah, in English, Greek, and Latin. English: Tzimtzum, in the context of Kabbalah, refers to the concept of divine contraction or concealment. It is the notion that in order for the created world to exist, God, who is infinite and all-encompassing, had to contract or limit His divine presence. This contraction created a space or void within which the created universe could come into being. Tzimtzum is seen as a necessary step in the process of creation, allowing for the existence of a separate reality while maintaining the connection to the divine source. Greek: In Greek, the term for Tzimtzum can be translated as "σύσταση" (sýstasi). It represents the idea of divine withdrawal or contraction, the act of the infinite divine essence drawing back in order to make space for the finite created realm. This withdrawal is seen as a necessary action to enable the existence of the physical world and the separation between the divine and the material. Latin: In Latin, the concept of Tzimtzum can be expressed as "contractio divina." This refers to the divine contraction or contraction of God's essence. The idea is that God, being infinite and all-encompassing, contracts or withdraws in order to create space for the manifestation of the created universe. This divine contraction is considered essential for the establishment of a separate realm of existence while maintaining a connection to the divine source. These interpretations in English, Greek, and Latin aim to capture the essence of the concept of Tzimtzum and its significance in Kabbalistic thought.
The scientific version is not contraction but withdrawal ( bad translation by people with no actual experience. From the ancient wise men. The purpose of anyLifetime.

I was at a talk given by the Dalai Lama to an audience of neuroscientists (a passion of his). He is exactly like that. He takes himself seriously only to the extent necessary to fulfill his social and religious duties, but as an individual, he's hilarious and self-deprecating. A very fun speaker, especially during Q&A!
That is exactly right. We are ALL sons of God. And the women shouldn't be left out, either. We may even go further and say that we are all Gods, since we're 'genetically related', in the spiritual sense. A chip off the old block, so to speak.
I haven't listened to all of this lecture yet, but William Donahue has Two videos on the pineal gland as the point in the body to cause the light from the darkness to connect with, The information was for me very reviling, one video is called the pineal gland and the dark haired woman, the other is called talking to the pineal gland, Hope this helps you and others as well, amen
I started reading all of Alan Watts' books in 1969 right after my year in the mountains and jungles of Viet Nam. In 1971-72, about the time this particular talk was given, I was attending UCBerkeley where I saw Alan standing on the rim of the fountain at the main campus entrance and listened to him talking is stuff. This was very cool!
What I find truly inspirational is Alan's ability to transform his perceptions into words so that anybody who is truly interested in what he's saying may understand what he means. He's not only the wisest man I've had the pleasure of listening to, but he's also the most admirable. He's able to articulate the most complicated of ideas known to man and make the conversation flow with ease. He's able to fully embrace the dangers of his claims and give them vibrant emotions. He's able to form clean, cut, coherent sentences so that even some one who is simply curious about the topic he talks about may understand and be more intrigued for the next sentence he babbles on about. He's not a philosopher- he's a poet. Thank you, Alan. Thanks for making existence more entertaining.
First they don't want anyone know about Ukraine, me and Vatican. If they win China , they will attack Russia after Russia is lost. Suddenly, they attack India by the tanks same as Russia attack Ukraine while Ukraine didn't repair on Feb 2022 and then they will attack Japan, Viet Nam, Korea, Taiwan , Middle East and Africa. Because We don't have the paper work about the win but the paperwork just say we corporate with them . If they are serious . They must tell Taiwan, Philippines, Korea and Japan stop fighting. The reason they don't say because it is a best chance to attack those countries due to low weapons. Anyway, I have a question to Taiwan. Do you have a contract with them that Taiwan will take over China or China is belong to them either half of the land??,,?,??? Because their tanks will enter into the India .Another word, their army is on our land. Lastly; after they United all nations. They will announce to the public about the Vatican But we already forgot the bad deed of Vatican by that time same as Zeleski will claim himself Jesus. The bad thing to us , we might become their slaves because we don't have any one help us. Do you remember the Black slaves in the History.??

ITS A STORY ALL ABOUT YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!! The story of David and Goliath, as depicted in the Bible, is often interpreted as a metaphorical battle between good and evil, with David representing the underdog ANTI HERO... HUMANITY NOT KNOWING WHO THEY ARE...fighting against a formidable opponent. When exploring this story through a Kabbalistic perspective and incorporating Neville Goddard's teachings, we can delve into a deeper understanding of its spiritual significance. In Kabbalah, the concept of God is often portrayed as an infinite and transcendent force, encompassing all of creation. The false gods mentioned in this context refer to any limited or distorted beliefs or concepts that humans may idolize or worship instead of recognizing the true divine essence within themselves and all of creation. These false gods can take various forms, such as material possessions, ego-driven desires, or societal constructs that promote separation and illusion. David, in this interpretation, symbolizes the Christ consciousness or the divine essence within every individual. He represents the recognition of one's inherent divinity and the willingness to align with and express that divinity in the world. Goliath, on the other hand, represents the false gods or illusions that obstruct the realization of one's true spiritual nature. Neville Goddard, a prominent teacher of New Thought philosophy, emphasized the power of imagination and the creative capacity of the human mind. According to his teachings, our thoughts and beliefs shape our reality, and by consciously directing our thoughts towards the realization of our desires, we can manifest them in our lives. In the context of David and Goliath, Neville Goddard's teachings can be seen as a reminder of the transformative power of our inner consciousness. David's victory over Goliath can be understood as the triumph of divine consciousness over the illusions of the world. By aligning with the truth of their divine nature and using the power of imagination, individuals can overcome their personal Goliaths, the false gods that inhibit their spiritual growth and fulfillment. This interpretation suggests that the battle between David and Goliath is not an external conflict between two individuals, but an internal struggle within each person's consciousness. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing and challenging the false gods or limiting beliefs that hinder one's spiritual evolution and the realization of their true potential. In summary, when examining the story of David and Goliath through a Kabbalistic lens and incorporating Neville Goddard's teachings, we can perceive it as a metaphorical representation of the eternal battle between the Christ consciousness within us and the false gods or illusions that separate us from our divine nature. By cultivating a deep understanding of our inherent divinity and harnessing the power of our thoughts and imagination, we can transcend limitations and manifest a life aligned with our true spiritual essence.
I wonder if he had investigated the Baha'i Faith? He is so knowledgeable about other Eastern Religions, yet np mention of Baha'i. Read his books in my youth.
I can listen to Alan Watts for hours and days and weeks... always feel at peace when listening to him. Wish more people I know would share this experience.
Hello Annie how are you doing today?....Alan is such an amazing person he is so full of wisdom..i wish we all can make this go viral by sharing like you said where are you texting from?
I've listened to your father for years! His recordings have helped me in the hardest times. Much more than my own father . I still find myself today searching for the comfort of his words. Brilliant man !!
Mr. Watts thank you for the blessings you and your family have bestowed to the seekers and sages.i love you for our similar nature,divine reflection from within a hall of mirrors even screens..the gold in the tablet.conductive and precious.❤
Yes, but It could also be here on earth externally if we merely followed the basic tenants of the 10 commandments and the Golden rule. It's really that simple.
This Alan Watts session fits in the realm of Aristotle and Plato [and their counterparts in the various other cultures of the world] exploring the eternal questions of life and consiousness. And this unique recording of such exploration allows us first hand access, as if we were there then. Alan's lighthearted and eloquently balanced wording also releases it from the graveness of previous written accounts. Even fun, but without losing any insightfulness and sincerity, while enriching it with the East / West perspective enabling a much wider audience by this 50+ year old 'podcast'. [Thank you, Mark. Twice. ❤] Truely unique material.
I only found this man a few years ago and I am far from hearing all he had to say, but every time I hear him, I wonder how I made it this far through life without knowing what he is having to say. Thank you.
yes, it is a game called POWER. it’s an illusion, just like everything else; but that’s the point: we got bored, fell asleep and then forgot that it’s not real. like in a really good movie or play. that’s why history seems to repeat itself, or rhyme. we forgot - we already played that game! oh, let’s do it again anyway. the game of POWER comes out of forgetting who we really are.
Alan was such a great man way ahead of his time.. I'm so glad he was one to get the ball rolling and for society to start opening their eyes following his wonderful work ❤
Alan Watts teachings are always amazing to me but I've never heard this one. Truly incredible I will listen to it at least once a week. Thank you to the channel, thank you Mark for sharing this and of course thank you to Alan Watts for helping me and I assume many millions of others for many years. Much love also for Ram Dass who's teachings and involvement with this channel have literally saved and continue to save my life. Peace and love. X
What a gift and an opportunity to hear this man speak So interesting and clear on what he speaks on ✨✨✨ There is always something to learn from his talks Thank you for sharing your dad's philosophy I have such an appreciation and understanding of the universe we live in now bc of his videos Thank you Mr Watts for helping me find a deeper meaning to life 💗
Another absolutely fun passing interlude with lovely Alan Watts = scholar / intellectual / historian / teacher / bodhisattva = The playful adroitness of Alan's sheer _'radiant isness'_ may well be described, on the verbal plain, in what is ever-delightfully enjoyed as a truly 'embraceable' _Man For All Seasons..._ !! 🤣 Thank you Mark for this pivotal little ditty, and for keeping your dad so necessarily / accessibly ‘Alive-n-Well’. ⛩ = Releasing mental constructs in Awe of the Compassionate Mystery that transcends thinking.....
His simple structured foundations are noticed while beginning to speak. Followed by a deeper, calmer state of source code flow. Alan Watts, possibly the one vibrational trend setter that im going to try and be like. A great way to show whats within the human works. So inspirational. Thank you.
Listened to Alan for decades now and he still says things I didn’t understand at the time, and always makes me laugh. PS: I think Bill Donahue took some lessons from Alan’s lectures and or books. ❤
Mark. I have to say though....your father did not know he's was residing on a flat plane in a firmament. No one has all of it, but your Dad was a leader when he said.....this is the best thing he has ever said that I've ever heard from most anyone......"You are it".....Alan Watts
20:30 THIS IS SPOT ON.....MOST LICENSED AND UNLICENSED THERAPISTS aren't qualified. At least 51% are not qualified. Too many people with narcissistic tendencies are therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists and physicians.
My interpretation of reality and life is when we see a madman we want to fix him out of fear. If he can't be fixed, what if we slip into madness? But the madman isn't broken. He is just walking a different path in a different reality. After all reality is how each of us defines it. Have you ever seen a person deemed mad that is always laughing and smiling? Everything to them is a joyous and beautiful miracle. How wonderful his world must be. We can't even comprehend it. A world of endless joy. Maybe some day the mad will take pity on us and fix us.
Alan's books, esp. "The Wisdom of Insecurity" and "Nature, Man and Woman", helped me get through my troublesome 20s which was my postponed teenage troubles. A great thinker, very underrated.
Alan Watts was completely legit as far as he went. It’s amazing. He left a lot out but yes. Amazing to listen to. ❤😊 One of the best things I’ve ever heard 😊❤ It was a privilege to listen to this. 😊
Thanks for this lecture Mark. One of the things that always amazes me about Alan, is his depth of knowledge on multiple subjects, but to relate it to most people he could always distill a very complicated thing into something that most people could immediately understand.
The verb is the noun like the happening is the thing that’s happening. “I Am that I Am” (the ground of all being/existing) Or “all the goings on” as Alan Watts puts it. We don’t all see “God” as (the) good but all is good and only God is good. “Evil” is the illusion. You are good and know that God is grace the grace that’s letting. Whatever you are going through, it is for you and not against you. “Love your enemy”
Giving love is wonderful but its much more profound when it is also received by another self.... the experience allows God to better understand the depths of it's unconditional Love.
I worry myself that I'm not doing what I'm supposed to or doing something I'm not supposed to . It is a real feeling and experience to the person that goes through this
@@MadMax-gc2vjif I drawl a random image it lines up with something I see later that day or the next . The first time coincidence the second time hmmm now every single day . What tf is reality.
This was the most enlightening lecture i have ever heard. The answer to everything...the answer to nothing. One critique. He said there is no solution...but in fact..as described...this is the solution. Solution to boredom. Contrast. Yin yang. ☯️ = solution to boredom. I love listening to Alan. His voice was perfectly designed for speaking on these subjects of enlightenment. I have subconsciously come to these conclusions but never found the words to explain and now i know there is no need. Everything is as it should be. Interfering only attempts to ruin the process. Im at such peace i have never felt. Thank you for sharing this. All though with this comes a sort of sense of a beginning and and end. As if a journey has just started but also concluded. An ultimate goal reached but a new door opens to invite exploration.
Humility and humanity is the (( pinnacle of intellect)),, two great humans like nelson Mandela and Gandi reached my everest im on the mountain on the way up
Marc, your WONDERFUL Father Alan has helped me to "remember" who 'I AM,' has helped me to get through 17 years with The Suicide Dissease (Widespread CRPS Type lI) + Functional Neurological Dissorder, Rhumatoid Arthritis 😮add Fibro Mayalgia (the most painful, debilitating and destructive combination of disseases a human being can possibly aquire). THANK YOU so much for your service to humanity!! 💖

Let's expand on the interpretation of Tzimtzum, a concept in Kabbalah, in English, Greek, and Latin.
English:
Tzimtzum, in the context of Kabbalah, refers to the concept of divine contraction or concealment. It is the notion that in order for the created world to exist, God, who is infinite and all-encompassing, had to contract or limit His divine presence. This contraction created a space or void within which the created universe could come into being. Tzimtzum is seen as a necessary step in the process of creation, allowing for the existence of a separate reality while maintaining the connection to the divine source.
Greek:
In Greek, the term for Tzimtzum can be translated as "σύσταση" (sýstasi). It represents the idea of divine withdrawal or contraction, the act of the infinite divine essence drawing back in order to make space for the finite created realm. This withdrawal is seen as a necessary action to enable the existence of the physical world and the separation between the divine and the material.
Latin:
In Latin, the concept of Tzimtzum can be expressed as "contractio divina." This refers to the divine contraction or contraction of God's essence. The idea is that God, being infinite and all-encompassing, contracts or withdraws in order to create space for the manifestation of the created universe. This divine contraction is considered essential for the establishment of a separate realm of existence while maintaining a connection to the divine source.
These interpretations in English, Greek, and Latin aim to capture the essence of the concept of Tzimtzum and its significance in Kabbalistic thought.

A very fun speaker, especially during Q&A!

That is exactly right. We are ALL sons of God. And the women shouldn't be left out, either. We may even go further and say that we are all Gods, since we're 'genetically related', in the spiritual sense. A chip off the old block, so to speak.
Thanks so much Alan watts I'm glad if there is a God I'm glad he's not a dictator .
There is a God, He is your Father and you are His Son. If you are living a life with choices, that should have already been the answer you needed.
Mans capacity to contemplate God is like light coming from the darkness.
I haven't listened to all of this lecture yet, but William Donahue has Two videos on the pineal gland as the point in the body to cause the light from the darkness to connect with,
The information was for me very reviling, one video is called the pineal gland and the dark haired woman, the other is called talking to the pineal gland,
Hope this helps you and others as well, amen

In Kabbalah, the concept of God is often portrayed as an infinite and transcendent force, encompassing all of creation. The false gods mentioned in this context refer to any limited or distorted beliefs or concepts that humans may idolize or worship instead of recognizing the true divine essence within themselves and all of creation. These false gods can take various forms, such as material possessions, ego-driven desires, or societal constructs that promote separation and illusion.
David, in this interpretation, symbolizes the Christ consciousness or the divine essence within every individual. He represents the recognition of one's inherent divinity and the willingness to align with and express that divinity in the world. Goliath, on the other hand, represents the false gods or illusions that obstruct the realization of one's true spiritual nature.
Neville Goddard, a prominent teacher of New Thought philosophy, emphasized the power of imagination and the creative capacity of the human mind. According to his teachings, our thoughts and beliefs shape our reality, and by consciously directing our thoughts towards the realization of our desires, we can manifest them in our lives.

This Alan Watts session fits in the realm of Aristotle and Plato [and their counterparts in the various other cultures of the world] exploring the eternal questions of life and consiousness. And this unique recording of such exploration allows us first hand access, as if we were there then. Alan's lighthearted and eloquently balanced wording also releases it from the graveness of previous written accounts. Even fun, but without losing any insightfulness and sincerity, while enriching it with the East / West perspective enabling a much wider audience by this 50+ year old 'podcast'. [Thank you, Mark. Twice. ❤]
Truely unique material.
I only found this man a few years ago and I am far from hearing all he had to say, but every time I hear him, I wonder how I made it this far through life without knowing what he is having to say.
Thank you.
You made it, though
Because you are to the bosses son.
We all are .
@@moefun19 better late than never.
@@scottydees2748you are never late, we arrive exactly when we are supposed to 😊
Thanks, Mark Watts. Namaste from Sausalito, CA. 🙏

I just had an epiphany. That the "nature" he talks about us "beating into submission" includes our fellow human beings.
Precisely, especially considering they are also you. Love thyself and love thy neighbor 😉😇

yes, it is a game called POWER.
it’s an illusion, just like everything else; but that’s the point: we got bored, fell asleep and then forgot that it’s not real. like in a really good movie or play. that’s why history seems to repeat itself, or rhyme. we forgot - we already played that game! oh, let’s do it again anyway. the game of POWER comes out of forgetting who we really are.
@@kensurrency2564 Really well said.
And ourselves
Incredably articulate and well informed man. He is a treasure. Thank you
Alan was such a great man way ahead of his time.. I'm so glad he was one to get the ball rolling and for society to start opening their eyes following his wonderful work ❤
It's great that you take care of his legacy . His thinking should be far more known than it is .
Glad to see Alan onboard offering an alternative to the worldview pushed by the Religious Right.
According to Alan Watts you ARE The religious right 😅😂
Wow. Mind blowing. I ❤ this talk. It’s like all his teaching rolled into one burrito! A masterpiece of insight
You’re making me hungry
Masterpiece of bulls**t.
This zen burrito makes me thirsty for knowledge
One big, fat spiritual burrito! 😂
you were not the only who's mind was blown by this talk :)) 31:54
Always will love your fathers videos, what a beautiful, brilliant man.
He was pure of heart which is something that human beings find hard
Pure heart as in only arteries without any contamination of veins nd nerves?
Is and remains one of the best! Thats my mans an them!
What a fantastic storyteller.
This might be my favorite lecture yet! . This man completely changed my mindset and woke me up.
Oh you too 😅
I love Allan forever in this moment for all and the one
Possibly his best lecture. 👌 He is and was the pastor i needed but never had. What a great teacher he must have been.
What a great teacher he is. There is only Here and Now :)
@@Travishibachi87How right you are 😅
Alan Watts teachings are always amazing to me but I've never heard this one. Truly incredible I will listen to it at least once a week. Thank you to the channel, thank you Mark for sharing this and of course thank you to Alan Watts for helping me and I assume many millions of others for many years. Much love also for Ram Dass who's teachings and involvement with this channel have literally saved and continue to save my life. Peace and love. X
What a gift and an opportunity to hear this man speak
So interesting and clear on what he speaks on ✨✨✨
There is always something to
learn from his talks
Thank you for sharing your
dad's philosophy
I have such an appreciation and understanding of the universe we live in now bc of his videos
Thank you Mr Watts for helping me find a deeper meaning to life
💗
Specialy ss Alan Puts it life is a guru who thoths out Challenges at you to see if you master them🙏

Very insightful. Presently, many psychologists have realised the fallacy of psychotherapy for many so-called psychiatric conditions.
I love the fact that everything Mr. Watts says and has said is still relevant in our society today.
Unconditional love respect and gratitude 🙏 #Weareguildford
Another absolutely fun passing interlude with lovely Alan Watts = scholar / intellectual / historian / teacher / bodhisattva = The playful adroitness of Alan's sheer _'radiant isness'_ may well be described, on the verbal plain, in what is ever-delightfully enjoyed as a truly 'embraceable' _Man For All Seasons..._ !! 🤣 Thank you Mark for this pivotal little ditty, and for keeping your dad so necessarily / accessibly ‘Alive-n-Well’. ⛩ = Releasing mental constructs in Awe of the Compassionate Mystery that transcends thinking.....
Thank you alan watts for opening my mind to another dimension and a higher state of consiousness
I'm so glad that I got to be Alan Watts for a time (which has never been real anyway). So grateful for this talk today.
❤ I love Mr watts he truly was a treasure we were so lucky to have him over here in the States
Indeed. I’m a First Gen American. 🇺🇸

The last 4 -5 minutes of this talk. Are always mind boggling
It is so up to date!
ReMarkable, Mark, in the bright 🕯️ light 🚨 of Alan Wattage 🌚🌝😂
This might be my favorite lecture yet! ❤
BRAVO. Alan Watts makes perfect sense and he brings receipts!
I discovered Allan Watts back in 1977... kpfk radio every Monday. I'm 63 now and still enjoy Allan.
I am 121 and still find answers in him
@@meltherecafe2394 121. Wow.. keep on trucking
Laughing in Color…LOVE this lecture!!! 💖
This is Alan Watts most important and poignant message bar none. That is saying saying something Thank you for sharing your fathers work Namaste
His simple structured foundations are noticed while beginning to speak. Followed by a deeper, calmer state of source code flow. Alan Watts, possibly the one vibrational trend setter that im going to try and be like. A great way to show whats within the human works. So inspirational. Thank you.
Thank you for living in a time I could innerstand you
Listened to Alan for decades now and he still says things I didn’t understand at the time, and always makes me laugh. PS: I think Bill Donahue took some lessons from Alan’s lectures and or books. ❤
I was 18 then…had started my spiritual journal three years prior❤. Thank you for sharing.
I was 117 then, still growing strong nd find solace in him
@@meltherecafe2394 I was Carlos Castanedas naguals naguals mom 😂❤🎉 and stuff.
Ima big student of your father. Thank u God sun
Grateful to have been in the loop of this in these times.forgiveness of those whom held it back far too long I pray can have a clean slate of mind
Mark. I have to say though....your father did not know he's was residing on a flat plane in a firmament. No one has all of it, but your Dad was a leader when he said.....this is the best thing he has ever said that I've ever heard from most anyone......"You are it".....Alan Watts
These is done father in your voice
20:30 THIS IS SPOT ON.....MOST LICENSED AND UNLICENSED THERAPISTS aren't qualified. At least 51% are not qualified. Too many people with narcissistic tendencies are therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists and physicians.
My interpretation of reality and life is when we see a madman we want to fix him out of fear. If he can't be fixed, what if we slip into madness? But the madman isn't broken. He is just walking a different path in a different reality. After all reality is how each of us defines it.
Have you ever seen a person deemed mad that is always laughing and smiling? Everything to them is a joyous and beautiful miracle. How wonderful his world must be. We can't even comprehend it. A world of endless joy.
Maybe some day the mad will take pity on us and fix us.
Alan's books, esp. "The Wisdom of Insecurity" and "Nature, Man and Woman", helped me get through my troublesome 20s which was my postponed teenage troubles.
A great thinker, very underrated.
Alan Watts was completely legit as far as he went. It’s amazing. He left a lot out but yes. Amazing to listen to. ❤😊 One of the best things I’ve ever heard 😊❤ It was a privilege to listen to this. 😊
Thank you for this wonderful lecture, have loved listening to your father Mr. Watts, so very cool!!
Absolutely fantastic. The simplicity in the way Mr.Watts describes the complexity of the simple just is amazing.
He is so funny I love him and so deep yet with amazing humor!
❤❤❤❤❤,
Greatest Thanks to You!
Also our most Beloved
Teacher AW!
Best Blessed Wishes Y❤️‘All!..

Thanks for this lecture Mark. One of the things that always amazes me about Alan, is his depth of knowledge on multiple subjects, but to relate it to most people he could always distill a very complicated thing into something that most people could immediately understand.
Absolutely Brilliant Performance. !!!! Saint Watts.
The verb is the noun like the happening is the thing that’s happening. “I Am that I Am” (the ground of all being/existing) Or “all the goings on” as Alan Watts puts it. We don’t all see “God” as (the) good but all is good and only God is good. “Evil” is the illusion. You are good and know that God is grace the grace that’s letting. Whatever you are going through, it is for you and not against you. “Love your enemy”
Give Thanks
First time hearing this lecture. Wow! Alan was firing on all cylinders. I I’m going to dive into it again…
Giving love is wonderful but its much more profound when it is also received by another self.... the experience allows God to better understand the depths of it's unconditional Love.
I worry myself that I'm not doing what I'm supposed to or doing something I'm not supposed to . It is a real feeling and experience to the person that goes through this
It's ok to be lost sometimes🪄🌄
just the ego fucking with you.
@@MadMax-gc2vj no it's not a concept of thought it's reality
@@jasonrench2623 Really REALITY you had to go there ....LOL.
@@MadMax-gc2vjif I drawl a random image it lines up with something I see later that day or the next . The first time coincidence the second time hmmm now every single day . What tf is reality.
This was the most enlightening lecture i have ever heard. The answer to everything...the answer to nothing. One critique. He said there is no solution...but in fact..as described...this is the solution. Solution to boredom. Contrast. Yin yang. ☯️ = solution to boredom. I love listening to Alan. His voice was perfectly designed for speaking on these subjects of enlightenment.
I have subconsciously come to these conclusions but never found the words to explain and now i know there is no need. Everything is as it should be. Interfering only attempts to ruin the process. Im at such peace i have never felt. Thank you for sharing this. All though with this comes a sort of sense of a beginning and and end. As if a journey has just started but also concluded. An ultimate goal reached but a new door opens to invite exploration.
This was absolutely fantastic. So personal and poignant. It feels as fresh and relevant as ever.
Truly Powerful
This is brilliant.
