Our hope with these videos is to push your thinking. As Alan Watts said “No one is more dangerously insane than one who is sane all the time: he is like a steel bridge without flexibility, and the order of his life is rigid and brittle.” - Alan Watts.
When the bug hit in early 20, it put my business down, then a year later my sweetheart soulmate passed from an unexpected cancer (We didn't take the vaxx). As I was tasting the barrel of my side arm, in a moment of clarity I said F kit! it is now or never, I sold everything I could liquidate, and purchased 6 acres in the middle of the woods ( 10 miles to the store) in North Florida, I was 55 when this happened, now I have the best well water, I grow my own food, I'm back in shape, I have sharpened skillz I never knew I had and I unplugged from the system, I don't contribute to the scam any longer and I live a peaceful, wholesome life, I sit on the grass in the morning with a hot coffee and watch the sunrise and decide my plans for the day at hand, I live spontaneously but enjoying the moment and being present, I don't live for tomorrow any longer. You just need to realize, When you got Nothing, you got nothing to loose, now you are free.
By 20 Trump's BS had already destroyed my import-export business. I won't forgive 😢
Congrats, I'm happy for you that you made it to freedom and a wholesome life 🍀💕
First off -I'm sorry about the loss of your soulmate. Second - I'm very glad that you did'nt pull the trigger. I understand how you got to that point. You paint an awesome picture of a life worth living.
Are you stupid?@@richardscathouse
I’m sorry you lost your soul mate. I lost mine about 2 years ago. But thrilled you are thriving and loving your country life!! Sounds amazing!

Not anymore brother, come come come come
Now they have the machines and AI. Soon they won’t need us.
The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity, answered "Man! Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.
He also loves children to kick his tongue. Chi-mo, therefore obsolete & evil. Gandhi also liked them very young too. Mother Theresa was a beast. I'm a strong awake Christian.
And he's absolutely right 🎯🖒
The astonishing truth!
The gift is the present, or the conscious power of now/won !! Do more different things; and walk uncommon paths, learn by doing . . . . live

After a terrible first 65 years of life, I've arrived at a place where I know myself (and like her). I live a modest life of gratitude, and in the present. Now 76, healthy and content.

We have 22 year old "children", who graduate college with ZERO sustenance skills, aside from getting a job. Parents are too busy working to teach. The children are too tired from "school" to learn.
Zombies... an entire lot of zombies, entirely submissive to the will of others.
Not entirely. People go along in what seems like a state of somnambulism but challenge them an iota and you'll see that they are not as docile as they appear to be. My thought is that while they are going along they are also always wondering (to themselves) if there is an alternative. People never miss a chance to let me know that there is something still roiling under that waxy facade. At the same time -many never miss a chance to let me know , in no uncertain terms , that they are fiercely loyal to the status quo. A person with his own mind, in this culture , as far as I can see , is viewed as a deranged anomaly. I was even called an anomaly by a Mensan , a person who belongs to a group of people who are considered anomalies in their own right. I think right now the weight of the corporate, technological , medical , media chain link is too heavy for most people to challenge. People don't know that there is something beyond all of it. My eyes were opened (a bit) upon reading Plato's Allegory of the Cave. Shadows on the wall . If you're conditioned to think that reality consists of shadows on the wall of a cave then it's VERY hard to believe that actual reality is outside the cave.

Alan Watts is from a time when people retired and retired with wealth. His insights are just as true now, but our elderly live working and in poverty.
Yeah exactly. No one can 'afford' to retire anymore. The game is rigged and it isn't going to fix itself.
Do we not send our children to indoctrination centers, I mean school? How does a parent earn enough money to do this? Its a closed loop system for us common folk, and there is more abhorrent slavery today than there ever was in history. We are taught at a young age that slavery was everywhere back in the day, but thats just to manipulate us into thinking we aren't slaves anymore. The almighty dollar is our master. It feels like there's nothing we can do about it.
Agreed!
The "Social Security" is for me a kind of insurance. I can't retire, the social security is for me a "disability insurance".

I remember accidentally hearing Alan Watts lectures, broadcast over local late night FM radio here in Portland Oregon in the early 1970's while I was attending Art School at a local community college. Watts greatly influenced my creative world in the Arts and in the Sciences. I had just purchased my first Astronomy telescope as a young person then.
I was delighted to hear these being rereleased in recent years through the online world.
This particularly selected lecture should not be taken lightly, especially today by our younger generations.

Did you discover that the dome above is far as we are allowed to go up... Which then means a whole lot more deception needs to be uncovered still?
I live in pdx too and has been a great tragedy of life watching this once utopian city destroy itself in name of liberal
‘Progress’
I miss old pdx
At 2:36, I PAINFULLY FELT THAT. And I really hate to believe that this universe is having me work hard, burning away the rest of my youth, just to give me my material glory when I'm old and it won't even matter anymore. I fight this belief on a daily basis.
If it helps, their world is a plastic world of bullsht that never works as advertised and breaks a week after you get it, and so is any promise they ever make. An entire lifetime spent looking for the perfect cherryblossom isnt a life wasted. Big ol sandbox full of other peoples games i dont want to play, make our own or die trying 🫡
Be aware of the fake world we live in where everyone is playing a character in a program called society
Yeah...I detest the idea of having to work unusually hard just to pay bills and then die. To think that many people fight through traffic to work hard at a job for 40 years, and then die right when they retire is a very awful and realistic thought. It's just the worst that people spend most of their lives gathering up as much money as possible just to hope and pray to enjoy their later years in life. It's a big sick game that I decided to drop out of a number of years ago.
After watching this i came to a realization about the dating app i am on. Recently i discovered that every potential relationship i encountered was a woman either working late shifts, double shifts, or going back to school on a full load.
And this video by Alan Watts perfectly echoes the problem that lies in finding any meaningful relationships in society today, platonic or romantic.
There’s no room for really living because we all are playing the same damn game that we have been lied to about our entire lives. And when you can’t make ends meet there is no present. Only hand wringing for the future.
I hate capitalism and everything it pretends to stand for.
More than that. I hate that we are conditioned to conform to the game of life, which is “always look to the future because you’ve only got 80 years if you’re lucky”
Why?
Why not focus on the present moment if it’s all so fleeting?
When you attempt to make ends meet, you run in circles because 2 ends never meet. You must renew your mind. Think differently
There is life out there. Seek it, and it will seek you. It won’t be easy. At times, it will be messy - but if you keep walking you’ll learn to march in tune to drums of peace. And in the right time you’ll meet somebody else who can hear the beat. Keep smiling and don’t give into despair.
You hate capitalism? Friend, free market capitalism is the only hope. Corporate oligarchies, huge governments of unelected power-hungry beaurocrats controlling every aspect of our lives and greed are the monsters here, but capitalism itself works and gives the most freedom. If you think this is bad, wait until full blown communism gets here... then the real horrors begin. Just listen to the testimonies of all the people in the USA who have escaped communism and are urgently warning against it... 😰
It is impossible to be in anything other than the present. - Alan Watts

But you can forget that
I got scared and peed myself .@@dbank6107
True. But the ego-mind exists to keep you distracted, where the term "ego" means the idea of separation from the whole. When you are completely here now in the present moment, you have achieved a state of consciousness that transcends the body, the emotions and the ego-mind. It is simple, but not easy.
@@jivanvasant Yes it is simple but not easy 😂
Yes, I agree 💯...as a former teacher. We always lied about life
Ouch, an honest person.
Another grandiose statement. Maybe YOU lied, but it's an extreme stretch to claim we ALL lied.
If the entire education system is flawed as we know it all to be , built on lies , the text book system the standardized test system all of it , if you were half as intelligent to what it all is then you’d know yourself that you were only helping to spread the lies and continue the broken system itself , grades grades grades papers papers papers tests tests tests just to go clock in clock out ear sleep clock in clock out ear sleep clock in clock out , at least the guy who’s talking in this video has the balls and the love to spread a little truth to the world , obviously you didn’t create the system but if you are not part of the solution you are part of the problem , clock in clock out eat sleep clock in clock out eat sleep clock in but hey get those state test scores up so your paycheck loooks better too , make sure you’re “teaching the “facts “ they want you brainwashing us with , we really have our kids spending there whole childhood on a flawed and broken education system that is doomed from the start , and Let’s be honest our system is detrimental to a healthy happy sustainable society and the work is shown that it proves itself to be just that.
@@robertbeaulieu460everyone’s lying and you’re lying to yourself if you think that isn’t true
I've been saying for some time now that I cant believe anything I read or see on internet. But that doesnt mean EVERYONE is lying. There are lies, and then there are mistaken beliefs.
Always loved hearing from my math teacher "yeah no one knows why you need to know this but here you go🤷♀️"
Everything we learn is a foundation for the next thing we learn. What I'm getting now makes what's coming simpler.
You will hardly ever use the math they teach in high school . It’s a joke and shame on this country and administration.these poor kids are so stressed. To me from my view … schools create failures. How you ask. ??
When a child is unable to retain all this difficult math , coupled with pure pressures, parents high expectations of course we will see kids act out . I know exactly how these kids feel . I was one of them

Yes, without a doubt!
That's a classic refrain of people who are intellectually lazy. All forms of human endeavor have value, and for mathematics that is especially true. If you see no value in it, it's merely a reflection of your ignorance.
I am a computer programmer and I don't need complex math. The functions where I need complex math are created by people who love math and would not of needed a teacher to learn it. Let them make the physic engines. I call their functions to use in my programs I use their physic engines in my software, that's ok, they love it, but they can't do what I do... The very thing that makes me creative I never had to be taught it. We are all different tools. Learning basic math is all anyone needs to do and like I said if they have the passion to learn it, they just would anyway. Just like all the forefathers of math, it never existed until they came up with it, they were just into something.@@debragillen255

I stumbled on rescue missions after a head injury in 2007.
I had no knowledge of where they existed.
they provided shelter, food, clothes and spiritual gatherings.
some offered more than others.
I realized a person never had to work or fly a cardboard sign for handouts.
the Grant money would keep the operation open.
it was an eye opener to see what the government would give you when you put the address of of the rescue mission as your residence.
I heard conversations from some folks that traveled the Country going from one rescue mission to the next

Alan Watts is 100% correct. He should know because it worked for British Intelligence... His insightfulness''' regarding the nature of the world we live in came from the fact that he was working behind the curtain of secrecy, a place most of us will never see... He discussed topics most intellectuals would not touch with a 10-ft pole. He was clearly an "insider."
Agreed, Alan. I have long been castigated for my attitude to life. My wife once said: "Why must you question everything? Why can't you go with the flow like everybody else?"
The thing is, if I died today, I would go knowing I have had one of the greatest lives ever lived. I enjoyed the explosion of Rock 'n' Roll as an emerging teenager. I have followed music through the 60s, 70s, and 90s,. I have had several careers, some of these quite successful. At 70, I learned to play blues on a Fender. I have learned several languages, and been immersed in a culture 24,000 years old. I have been a cutting edge public servant in times when this meant something. I can survive in the wilderness without technology. I have many readers around the world. I can relate well with wild creatures. I actively oppose anti-human behaviour. I can fight, if I have to. I understand what is happening in geopolitics. I am fit, strong, and can match most 30 year olds in any skill. I am 81 and I am happy. Yet I have ambitions. My skills are increasing, not diminishing. My brain is expanding in capacity exponentially. I have many ambitions. Our enemies have tried to kill me some13 times yet they are dead. So, when I hear you explode the fraud that is the "education" system, the media mind-control, and the ultimate destiny of most western people as terminal anti-climax, I smile. There goes another with eyes that see and a mind that reads. Soon, there will be many of us. In a decade, this will be all of us. We will achieve this with People Power... when all of us are fully-informed, and we, the people, formulate all policies, for the administration to then implement; unimpeded and unmodified. The followers of Abraham Lincoln called this Populism. We should call it DEMOCRACY. Meanwhile, I have no money and I do not need it.
Dude, we’re all going to die, many of us after an unflattering final period in a hospital or nursing home.
@@jamessteele7102 I hope you can avoid that. I had a close encounter with that fate. Better to die fighting for freedom.
One of the most brilliant orators in history. I find every word gripping, and yet I often listen to Alan Watts to fall asleep, as his voice is so sonorous and mellifluous.
"Making plans for the future is of use only to people who are capable of living completely in the present" 06:42
Alan Watts never fails on making me shed a tear of hope and understanding.
❤
No Now, no Future.
Blown away.....
Ideally, everyone would live in the present and making plans would be unnecessary (Garden of Eden). But we've created a world where that's impossible, and so you get the paradox Watts mentions. Running to stand still.
I have more or less done that all my 85 years. I always felt at home wherever I was and whatever I did but put seeds into the atmosphere where to go next. Sometimes it was chosen for me by circumstances and I accepted it with no regret
Now I have some health problems but trying to figure out what i can learn from it and send healthy thoughts to others.
I've always felt this way. Possesions do not bring happiness. I'd rather be poor, buy my recycled stuff from second hand shops, and laugh at those who scurry about chasing their tails. It's really so sad. If only people realised that a little piece of land and self sufficiency is just a so much nicer existence. Envy, greed and arrogance are all the downfall of man.
There are not many who can captivate me like Alan Watts can and does.
I could listen to him endlessly. ❤
Many P Hall does it for me, also
I enjoy work and don't want to buy anything
I have always felt this way but never heard anyone else say it. I have always loved and lived for moments at hand. Never lived for the future. Because I know the future is not promised to anyone. The best thing in life is love. Nothing else comes close. And when your old and you don't have anything else to look forward to you will always have memories. If you're lucky like me you will have kids that love you. Family is all you have in the end, friends come and go but family will always be here for you.
you uploaded this exactly when I needed it. We must live in the present.
“The Power of Now” is a great book.
Find what makes you happy. Find what makes you tick. You wont ever regret going after what you feel is best for you and your personality. Ive seen so many people live the life that others wanted for them and they died very unhappy people.
Very true!
The present moment is the only moment we've control over. The past is gone and the future is an illusion.
Actually, not even the present moment is under our control. We think we have the obligation to be in control and much of what we do on a daily basis is motivated by that insatiable need for control. But control will never truly be in our hands whatever we do. In fact, it is only if we learn how to let go of the need for control that we can start to be present, truly present in every moment. The irony is that giving up the mentality of chasing after control will be the closest we will ever come a situation of secure alignment with reality, as it unfolds continuously.
Understanding this will give us an understanding of what give rise and maintains our ego. Our illusory sense of self have built a whole universe around this principle of being in the need of security. Its whole existence depends and feeds of off the chase after potential threats and looming calamities. Our deceiving self like to be our watchdog promising us to always be on the lookout and one-step-ahead in order to prevent our destruction. It builds its whole reasons of existence around this task, for our sake no less! And here we are showing signs of unappreciative disloyalties talking trash about our own watchdog that have done so much for us up until this moment. How dare we be so reckless and ungrateful to even question the existence of our own self! Shame on us!
But there’s no need for real alarm. Our friend, the watchdog, will continue to be our only true and loyal companion as long as we think we need him and trust him more than our true nature and reality itself. Just like any dog our own watchdog will endure any amount of abuse as long as it feels its mission is still valid and appreciated. Only when we reach our true point of crisis will we understand that the moment of choosing between our watchdog and true reality have come and we will know that a final parting with our watchdog is the gateway to eternal peace that has been eluding us for an eternity. Only at that moment we will understand that it has always been our incessant search for security that have been holding us back from being at peace and in harmony with ourselves and the universe. Only at this moment we realise that it is our own sense of insecurity that have kept our watchdog barking up fears in our heart. With infinite love and compassion we can now liberate our old friend the watchdog from all its obligations and let it roam as freely as it wants without having to attend to our well-being as a stand-in for our guardian angle anymore. Our primordial wisdom have kindled in our heart and we are no longer in the need of a barking watchdog on our front porch. We now know that we are the universe itself and the ultimate protector of all living beings.
We have control over our future if we imagine it as if it has already happened, and if we then take steps to walk towards it.
@@saturdaysun10 Which takes living in the present moment to fathom. Either way the future is not set.
The present is always the present until it's not which is always after the present. So just be in the now as it is with you in the now.
There is no present. We literally live in the future, and every moment that comes by ,instantly becomes the past. We are nothing more than an observers, with the false illusion of control and possession, while in reality we can't even control our own bodies and senses, which constantly deceive us.
Things weren't allways like this, but everything we learn about life and history is made from people who run this place for far too long now, and it's all lies.
I had many experiences in my lifetime, not all were good, but I always felt that the main reason I was expected to plan for a furure, was so that I could please others. Then when I became an adult, I realize it is so I could support myself. So here i am now, supporting myself, I have supported a family as well, but I gave up trying to please others. The high achievers in my family, can't understand, that I just want to be self sufficient, and human. It would be nice to be appreciated for not having to borrow from them, even if i don't have any prestigious things. I know people that wreck themselves trying to make a house payment, and car payments. The idea of retirement is such a joke. In the end you can't take it with you. Love is the only thing worthwhile. Enjoy it while you can, don't wait until your brain becomes a fog.
This is very true. I already felt this truth from a young age and I don't tie my kids success to grades or achievements
I love listening to Alan Watts. I wish I had met him, and had a conversation.
“The sense of ego of being one’s self is simultaneously the sense of frustration.”
Good one!
This short video should be part of the regular mandatory curriculum in all high schools of the world.
They rather brainwash kids to be nonbinary and pro terror.
Teachers are mostly very mentally ill people nowadays
😢
Rite!!
i think you did not get it, there should not be any high schools as they do not educate but indoctrinate the children. Look at the Amish as an example, they learn to live in the present and they are highly skilled
No 12 year old can do what a 12 year old Amish can do
Hahaha never ever 😅
It should be, but the education systems don't generally approve of students or teachers for that matter, who think for themselves.
The wisest statement I've ever heard was from Comic Book Guy, a character on "The Simpsons."
He walks out of his comic book shop, and sees that the world is about to end. Literally. He says (paraphrased):
'The world is about to end, and I just realized that I've spent my entire life doing nothing but reading comic books. Now, there is only time to say... LIFE WELL SPENT!'
Screw how anyone else defines happiness and/or "success," or what they say is a waste of time. It's your life, and it's going to end... soon. So, lead your best life, even if that means that whatever makes you happy, everyone else says is stupid or foolish.
No one else is going to regret the life you could have had. So, ultimately, who cares about anyone else's opinion.
I was a journalist. When I figured out that the common ideas about how one should lead his/her life was complete bull***t; I quit my job and began drifting the country. If always dreamt of having an adventure. Now, I'm "homeless," or so I've been told.
But, the fact is, Even with all the hardships and poverty, I've been having an honest to goodness, proper adventure for the last 6 years, working on 7.
If I died today, my last thought would be, "LIFE WELL SPENT!"
Be like Comic Book Guy. I bet my life, that you won't regret it. But, if you don't, I bet my life you will regret that.
Be the change you want to see. Praise God for the opportunity.
Awesome, well done, IMHO!
I always told my children to be happy with the choices in their own life and their own choices must be made to their own knowing that they are going to be happy with the roles picked because it is so important to them that they have a future that is free from pressure

@@anthonysantellan1861Can I hug you spiritually? 🫂 ❤ If so, then this Hug is for you and for me too ❤
It's wonderful to be able to listen to Alan Watts and others who have been recorded for social media learning.
finally a comment section that's got some real people, thanks & stay YOU!
We experience the sense of frustration with simply existing because we have definitions in place of who we actually are. All coming from the ego.
The discovery of Alan Watts 10 years ago completely opened my eyes. Discovering Alan Watts led me to the discovery of Sam Harris, which has been another eye opener with his waking up app
Harris is an IDIOT!!!
@@wayne9080why?
@@ladybooksmith3347 when I heard Sam Harris bashing RFK Jr, I immediately deleted the Waking Up app.
Even though I've always thought like this and lived like this (I quit my job and travel as much as I can, started when I was 24, I'm 32 now) this video still brings a tear to my eyes because I know most people will never truly understand and are so far into the system that they will never experience what life truly has to offer and imo what life is meant to be about - freedom.
I want to go deeper, and ask what do you get from travelling? Are you escaping something? Im just wondering, why people don't get the enjoyment in their home landscapes
@@turdeemi IMHO I'm 'escaping the Matrix' I'm aware that I can never get fully out of the system but I can use it to my benefit. I come back when I need to earn money but as soon as I've saved enough or had enough of being a corporate slave, I quit my job and travel again. I'm single, no kids and never married so that makes my decision easier to just up and leave. We were not put on this planet to just work 9-5, 5/6 days a week, pay taxes for 50 years and then retire and die. Life is for living, so go make the most of it.
What you call freedom is spirit. It's free by default and cannot be tamed, which is what makes civilization a contradictory concept to say the least.
There is no freedom. with respect my friend you are still part of the system, just a different narrative.
How do you afford to travel if you quit your job? Are you walking and camping? But even that requires money. Are you receiving some kind of welfare assistance from the government, leaching off other people’s work? Panhandling? I hope my tone isn’t coming across as completely snarky; I am genuinely curious how you do it.
I taught my two sons one important lesson about life. It was "there is always more than one way into a room". Meaning, don't just look at the solution that society gives, look for one that is different, be different.
Life is one long moment. Stay in the Now. It's all you ever have, is the Now ❤
I've lived all of my life not striving to be happy, but being happy. I get what I want, if I can afford it or not. Why wait? The pursuit of happiness doesn't cut it for me. Happiness is now, right now. This universe isn't real anyway. It is just a projection we ourselves create. So, I choose to create exactly the experience I want and so far that works for me. Once I learned there was a matrix, I exited stage left immediately and haven't looked back!
Your comment is worth more than his video. Bravo.
Interesting. More ?
Awesome, big congrats!
This is simply one of the greatest and most profound things I've ever heard. When I was younger I saved my money and planned or the future fairly well. A catastrophic event happened to me which completely changed how I think, and now I live in the moment everyday every hour. Very little do I make concrete decisions for the future and I even run my own business now and work fulltime, and raise my 2 yr old son. I have the best life! . I love this speech!
Alan watts keeps me sane.
you said it man! same here.
My 14 year old is so smart that he knows this. He's figured it out. It's hard making sure he never has to "fall in line" I look through such a different lens having a child
My 14 year old is asking me questions that I wish I had the nerve to ask when I was 40. I'm happy.
@@nauticdixons Good job! Sounds like a bright mind ✨️ 😌
He's going to school I take it. If so he's in line.
@lynnfisher3037 lynnn please don't get me started Also, do not think that you can make a judgment just based on the fact that he's physically in school plenty of people physically go to school and their mind give them plenty of chance to know the difference. I'm so sorry if that didn't happen to you or somebody that you love. But don't comment on Anything that you don't know about first-hand with my situation. Thank you
most children get it... but it is rubbed out of them by the time they are adults.
Learning is one thing we do for as long as we live. Our attitude towards learning may be positive or negative. If positive, we feel happy and hopeful; if negative, we feel trapped and despair.
So how do we change it people? I'm pretty sure 300 million Americans coming together and not spending money. Collectively. Would be a huge dent in their plan
When greed is your only motivator, you can expect things to get worse and worse as greed is refined over the years.
For anyone who has experienced a moment or two of true presence and clarity those words ring so true. You could die quite peacefully knowing that if that was it, it was still worth this whole ride. I've been bless to have had such a moment before and I look to find it again every day but if that was it, it was still worth it.
Being yourself is the most important thing in life.
Thank you Alan for what you gave the people. The on-site of what has come and what is to be. I wish you the best in your next life.
🎉❤Thank you for sharing this ❤🎉

We’re programmed from day one
It's amazing how Alan's words, heard again after many years, have acquired a depth of meaning previously unperceived in my youth. I am left to wonder what depths of meaning I am not perceiving in them presently.
Brings me to tears
So true...so real...save your Grand-children...tell them this truth...free them.
I always wanted to learn how to grow my own food. Thats the ultimate power to me. Idk why I'm holding back. I'm start writing blueprints and seeing what seeds would be good 👍
I'm interested in too many different kinds of food 😅
It's not the growing of the food that troubles you. It's wondering what growing your own food will lead you to.
You need to start improving your soil two years in advance. Organic amendments. ✌️
To grow all your own food that needs to be all you do; THAT becomes your job and it’s an incredibly hard one with lots of loss and disappointment along the way. Read Little House on the Prairie and if that’s the life you’re ready to live then go for it. But, supplementing your food supply with some home grown produce is fun and if you can keep laying hens they can be really fun and rewarding too. Collecting eggs is a great way to start every morning.
Have fun 😊
Plants need space, and some plants grow well together.
Microbes as well balance of nutrients are key to bountiful return.
I encourage my grandchildren to think critically, think for themselves and think outside the box and that they can do absolutely anything if they have good ideas, work hard, look at things in a different way than the crowd and be brave, calm and determined. I want them to change the world.
Enjoyed every single second of this speech : it should be read by ( or to) every single child on this planet !! 🔥😉
Although I have experienced Hell on earth, I have also had many complete moments ( superlative experiences) were I did say to myself I could happily die.
This I am truly grateful.
Same here.
@@bellavia5 Hey, just curious....you said you experienced hell on earth...what do you mean by that?
@@TkZ124 A place that is totally void of LOVE.
Thanks for telling me why I never played along. Was always insisting on doing my own thing. Win or Loose was less important than remaining free.
Until people stop ruling other people your life on earth will be misserble.
Indeed! You're the girl Donny Osmond sang about?
Alan Watts is my favorite speaker. Hands down.
I retired at 49, people play keeping up with the Joneses. Not me, i live life and enjoy each day.
Or at 70-80. The game goes on till they drop dead. Humans never learn.
Having money,a home,TV and fridge full of food,beats living in the desert in a mud hut with nothing.Even if the whole thing is without meaning.
@Sharky14 Yeah, but if you need money and don't work, you automatically live in poverty.
@Sharky14 Some poor people in 3rd world countries live in deserts inside of mud huts.
I haven't had a TV (or should I say "propaganda box"?) for years, thank goodness.
AND: a mud hut is a home, too 😉
@Sharky14the most important comment, too many people are focused on the hardship overseas to care about the citizens of their own country and the actual hardship that will one day hit them if they make one bad move and fall behind the momentum of the societal system. Case in point, Biden telling coal miners to learn how to code. The system just told you to get some skills or be left behind. You do not matter to us.
Edit: coal miners are a major reason why this society even exists. People who worked in the past paved the future and today's society has turned their back on them as if they destroyed the world, but they never think about the fact they may never have been born if those guys didn't mine that coal, or oil, or fight in those wars. Think about society turning their back on you one day, because you did what was the right thing at the time, 40 plus years ago...
I’m not convinced.
Life is not a journey…. It is a dance!!!
I threw off these chains in senior school ... Never conformed to society rules, always made sure others have enough information to question everything ❤
My mission is a sweet one ❤
Ppl scoffed at the hippies in the 60’s and early ‘70’s. I remember thinking they were on to something. Drop out, tune in to that which “really” makes you happy. We are slaves 😮
My daughter was a teacher for 3 years and she gave it up because she said the school system is broken and she said if she would teach them the right way they would fire her, so she said she was extremely exhausted and she quit.
I started my owen business at 17 concrete and retaining walls with out a highschool Diploma I would have never bin able to start let alone run a Successful company I have more them enough money to retire I love to work I love the look on people's face when they see my work I work 8 to 10 hours with the crew and then I work till 8or9 at night 6 days giving bids for new jobs I love my life everything about it I have 6 sons all grown 3 grandchildren my sons are my greatest Achievement to date they have Enriched my life in ways that some people will never understand they made me a better father husband and all around better human being they are my life and I wouldn't change one thing about are lives now college and office work ya no good but to just sit on your a** and do nothing is not any kinda life I want
OMG!!! It’s like this guy dove deep into both my soul and my mind and took the words right out of my mouth!! This is by far the best video I have ever seen on the subject of truth and reality!! I have felt this way ever since is was about 17 years old looking at life as a whole… I’m now 40 years old.. the only part that he fails to mention is how the elites of the world, don’t live this way!
If they made it all up why does it feel so real and why have so many died in The Game. God bless 🙏🏼👼🏼🙏🏼
You've never been an employee right? Shit feel repititive it feel like you are going around in a circle
T&H can you please stop putting this awful music as a background it's a wonderful speech and it's again spoiled with that music playing so loud.. reall shame but thanks anyway just if you can do something about that .. it will be very much appreciated 😉
I dont like this backvideos aswell, it ruins thinking that Alan died 1973 and its all recorded before.
Society does not want you to be free but to function in an economic system to pay your way, freedom from conditioned mind lies within we all have the power to realise are true nature the same when we were a child before being conditioned !
So very, very interesting! Pretty much my entire life has been living in the moment as a skilled craftsmen of many trades, including blacksmithing, stonemasonry, automotive repair, work musician, landscaping, gardening, carpentry, woodworking cabinet, working, concrete work, etc. etc. Never fell prey to the nonsense of the society in the world we live in. Consequently, never made a lot of money either. However, very spiritually and emotionally satisfied, With daily life. However, never have agreed with the way that we treat children. And I have treated my own children with respect from the moment they are born, and we are all friends, so to speak to this day! So grateful! And I’m so very sorry for the lies and conditioning that people have endured and suffered through generations!!! Hope it can change for all!🙏
Awesome, big congrats!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. It gives me something interesting to ponder.
"A free man thinks of nothing less than of death, and his wisdom is a meditation on life, not on death." - Baruch Spinoza
And life keeps going on and on. Life is just another game. Many people call it plans.
I remember when i bought my first car, it was really nice, fairly expensive....when i test drove it i felt really excited, when i bought it and drove it, it was a really cool feeling. 2-3 weeks later i got used to it and it wasn't so special anymore, 1 year later it was just my piece of metal getting me back and fourth to work. Repaired it, took care of it.
I'm sure the experience would have been exactly the same if i bought an even nicer car
So after 60 years of his teachings why haven’t we created a new paradigm based on love, but still live in the same toxic twisted abhorrent paradigm? Why are we so rigid and indoctrinated we can’t fathom changing this evil system.
greed
Because the Real people who pull the strings are LUCIFERIANS .
Control & greed. Oh & you must not complain
Because the people that pull strings are LUCIFERIANS..
Because we are human
I am a Witness. How it's supposed to be, how it can be, how it was for me, seemingly long gone.
Simply, I was raised by old school parents, my dad was my hero, mother was a Saint, I only knew Love and Safety.
And to a select few of us who were made to sit in the hall for speaking and interacting find that an embarrassment. How quaint.
I asked my source ❤to experience unconditional love. I am at peace with me and the whole world now. So LOVE YOURSELF UNCONDITIONAL.❤
Thank the All mighty one True God. Waking up is beautiful. I am Alan watts and Alan watts is me.
We are all one.
God moves 🙏🏾
Religion is the same way. Going to heaven is the ultimate promise, and the ultimate scam. All we really do is Reincarnate to do it all over again.
Alan Watts is and was a great Teacher and Philosopher. I cherish him even though he is gone. I'm thankful to hear and listen to his teachings. May his voice live forever through the ages.

Living in heaven and making a mess of it...Sadhguru
I enjoyed my 20s with travel and friends before having a serious career and children. Having listened to this I’m glad I did.
“Can’t buy me love,everybody tells me so!”
Ahhh there’s a song about everything….
I try to frequently ask myself if 13 year old me would be cool with me now to gauge things. I've kept my hobbies and things that give me joy - I still "play" outside and do things that force me to be 100% present in my joy.
On the isle of Skye the locals nicknamed some guys anchored yacht the 'Olympic Torch' coz it never went out.
Always ever fresh what Alan Watts has to say.
I've been experiencing this transformation and realization since COVID, so much so that I quit my career in 2022 to take a major pay cut to do something that I love and 'live with less.' I've never quite been able to describe the reason for this transformation to other people, but this lecture describes it perfectly.
Our spirituality and our children are the only reason why most of us still put up with this total enslavement of our good humans..❤
You're not good if you're allowing yourself to be shit on.
Religion is the same way. Going to heaven is the ultimate promise, and the ultimate scam. All we really do is Reincarnate to do it over again.
True, that!
That didn't stop the Greatest Generation OR the founding fathers who risked literally everything to revolt. We no longer have the guts
Alan is so enlightened. I really align with his perspectives.
