I can never remember who said this ,but it's stuck with me forever. I immediately knew and understood. "Life is what happens to you while you make plans for the future ". I'm 51 and have worked in a nursing home for 31 years watching people die. My mother died of cancer when she was 56 on Christmas Eve. Christmas morning I spent making the arrangements for everything. I was 23. My dad only cared about himself. Everybody's got a story to tell. This is mine. You have to put you first because nobody else will. You have to be your number 1 advocate. I've also seen many of my friends and people from the old neighborhood die and develop health problems. Cancer, high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes. It goes on. We can also live until we're 100 with no problems at all. My point is you just don't know. People are Evil and miserable and will love to bring you down because misery loves company. Eliminate them from your life. People also just love to argue and hate. Opinions are like A-holes,everybody's got one. There's still good in the world. "Good Night and Good Luck "-Edward R. Murrow
@@nicholaslarson3778 It wouldn’t be wise to get bogged down in semantics, as WHAT-IS has no reliance on words to be ALL THAT IS right here, now. Life is now, so only NOW is alive. Speaking on a relative basis, it appears that certain words are better pointers than other, but in reality, words and thought about NOW are merely conceptual, not the actual. Even as pointers it seems to be only relatively practical, as WHAT-IS, is ALL THERE IS. IT can’t point to or at ITSELF. There is no way for ALL to get outside of ALL so that IT can objectify ITSELF. NOW is ever present, so having no history it doesn’t need words to be or exist.
There's no future, nor past, but a sequence of present moments of which a lifetime is made. We need to learn to value our present moments and live each moment as if it was the last one.
This is tricky though because present moments influence Future presents. So another way to look at it is be content in the present but Invision a better future.
You are right! While envisioning, or planning, a brighter future, and remembering, or learning from, the past, we still should aim at living in the present. It is indeed tricky - thanks for pointing this out. Peace.
Where always working for the future, a future that we might not live to see. That old saying stop and smell the roses is the now moment they've always been talking about.
To those who are watching this video: May the Lord shower you and your family with boundless joy, unwavering faith, and overflowing grace. May your lives be illuminated by His divine love, and may His blessings fill your days with hope and peace. May your hearts be lifted and your spirits strengthened each and every day.
How many professors see their real worth? Most are driven by the prestige bestowed upon them thru their academic degree. If most of the professors are like this, who to teach the students the truth?
Modern life seems built to make the majority of people toil endless hours doing SOMETHING, as a small percentage reap great rewards doing the least. Alan Watts teaches each individual going through his classroom, that they are better than the mindless sl4v3s for the small percentage of self-entitled, and tells them how important they are in their play, in their mind. Our mind is our stage, and we should not give our stage to any other. Likewise, we should not try to invade other's stages.
The billionaires’ economic system requires us to work endlessly (including women with young children) to pay for hugely inflated housing prices & rents The ‘wisdom’ within this video applies only to the economically privileged in the West Alan Watts made his living as an entertaining itinerant lecturer of NewAge spiritual teachings, to the extremely wealthy in California ( Ditto for ‘Abraham Hicks’ -spiritual teachings for the indolent wealthy )
@kdmarrison8845 yeah, just imagine it being that simple, when you have to work/look after the bare minimum needed for sheer survival... I suppose the "trick" is not to miss those magical everyday moments. I appreciate his message though I don't think he was spreading it free of charge, lucky to find his niche, he was making his living this way and benefiting along the way from the work of all those workers who made it possible. For yearsnow, I don't mind a dose of AW here and there, little reminders but he always seemed to me a little detached from what the average person's life is. It ain't that simple is all I'm saying, not everyone can live their life as new age guru. Maybe it more applies to those with secured, comfortable lives to remind them to stop and smell the proverbial roses instead of chasing after more money ? Blessing to all :))
I work 15 hour days, 6 days a week at a restaurant. I was not born into a wealthy family. The family that raised me was mostly broke. And yet these teachings speak straight through to my soul. It’s all about perspective. Get rid of the victim attitude as well man, I know the people running this place is doing a shit job and probably will continue to do so for a while, but you can suffer or strive to escape. Your choice.
Extremely hard to live in the moment I try on an hourly basis but after 30 years of chronic pain and getting older and seeing my body start to wither away. It's more difficult than ever.
It is way more easier, than WE THINK, AND THE "GURUS" TOLD US FOR CENTURIES! 💲💲 There is nowhere to go, and nothing to do, because THAT is always all around us, always present. And you? Are you present? ❤
3 Things That Helped Me Achieve Wealth: 1. I stopped telling myself, "I’ll do it tomorrow." 2. I started watching motivational videos. 3. I read a book called The Gilded Nexus of Prosperity
we can't help but live in the present moment, the question is, what are we doing with it i.e. are we putting it to good use, or are we wasting the opportunity.
The past and the future do not exist, what exists is the present moment, however even though the future does not exist you can influence it by manifesting it
As you said we already know how to end powerty in terms of food i mean. So why not fixing the problem? Either we humans are so stupid or some governments are run by stupid people. Or we need slaves to keep the rich richer.
Why do you toss in there, "Either.." & "..or some.." & "Or..", as if some variation on these things might be somewhat true? Those are the cold, hard, collective facts of human society on Earth. They have always been so, but it's gotten steadily & far, far worse as time moves along. We won't have much longer, now. It's December 2024, so our own @$$holery is just about to catch up, once & for all.
Blade Runner …….moments lost like tears in rain Today is today ……enjoy it . The older you get the faster time flys …… Reality check ……my neighbour just had a heart attack ……..he isn’t 60 years old ! The government want you to work until you are 71 ………do you think you will make it ?
I'm not so sure: if money is an illusion why do those who treat it as such starve? Can't they feed on a parallel resourse, one more substantial that the maya offered by money?
Just face the fear. Yes your mind is actually terrified of staying present and not you. You and your mind are not the same. As you are you're being ruled by your mind. So in a way by not being present you are letting your mind win. But don't fight it because it'll be mind fighting the mind. So start slowly..real slow. Few moments of presence in a day is good enough but be consistent. Tell yourself that I only have to be present now. Not tomorrow not for the next whole hour just NOW.
Every second of my life is enjoyable. I jget a kick out of life: the good, the bad and even the ugly. You really must develop a good sense of humor to enjoy “life” fully. And learn to be grateful for what you have, instead of kvetching about what you don’t have. My back really hurts today, but I well not it allow it to keep me from being grateful for the hummingbirds outside my windows and the trees they buzz around. And the ice cream waiting for me in my freezer. And the friend I’m going out with today. Etc. etc.
I don't think there's much of a point in trying to explain this to people. If you know, you'll know, there's no need to understand because it comes naturally.
Absolutely true. The reason it won't work is because sadly we live on a world with people obsessed with wealth sitting on their banks offshore. There is no real value of ot sits there but psychologically they are conditioned to thinking wealth will give them status and value. It doesn't. It's all psychological. Greedy has been around for centuries it just seems to be getting worse.
These are the words of a rich man....... When you're at the bottom you have no choice at that point your only choice is survive or die. You either go along with the system and work your s*** job for s*** pay are you perish.
God damn, Rocky Raukky! The 1st rule of the book of cosmic wealth frequencies on borlest is we don't talk about the book of cosmic wealth frequencies on borlest!

30 years ago, i was obsessed with becoming rich and i began investing each month, quite a substantial amount. I made lists of things that i planned to acquire. 30 years later and I've achieved success from my investments, yet now, i have no interest in spending the money which my investments have acrued. Money cant buy me love.

This is absolutely spot on. The best time of your life is now. Not in the past and not in the future. Now. Regds.
True, but now is not a time, or in time. You as you know and experience yourself will never live in the now. Now is now, now is YOU.

When you master the present moment, the future unfolds perfectly
You are the present moment anything else is just mental illusion.

I like how ya through the name "Rockefeller" in there at just the right time. Nice...
