Im sure in time, there will be individuals gradually gaining access to the internet and we should send all these videos to them!! Hopefully sooner than later. ❤️❤️❤️

My pleasure! Thanks for sharing, glad you enjoyed!! :)

Thanks Kathleen! Love your honesty, I'll mix it up!! :) 😊😍👌👍

You are welcome Ashley! Glad you enjoyed it, Cheers!! :)

Thanks Carlos! The 21st century advances in science and technology demonstrates that "Mind Control" is absolutely possible through Consistent meditation. Alan Watts was definitely ahead of his time in speculating about mind control. Today, neuroscientists are able to trace the iron magnetite throughout our 85 billion neural network that we call a brain and study the changes in our circuitry system in response to modifying our behavior. Meditating 10 minutes a day for at-least 2 months results with advanced blood flow to our prefrontal cortex and away from the ventral pathway to the Amygdala (proximity to our hippocampal region), therefore, reducing the synapse activity with emotional reactions and stimulates our logical and rational part of our brain, being our pre-frontal cortex. The word "control" implies force which I completely agree with you, however, the aim of meditation is not to apply force to our thought; which results in the changed neural pathways, different reactivity, and more advanced rationale thinking. This allows us to "control our minds" via non-forced methods, but through knowledge in human physiology. Here is a recent scientific study about meditation and thought processes (I am not associated with this paper, but is worthy of sharing). www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0149763421004140

Hey Nebula! The most efficient way to reduce rumination/overthinking and getting caught in a cycle of thought attachment is to meditate. Meditation is one of the best ways to reduce synapse activity and thought impulsivity. Extremely useful to reduce BS thought patterns and improve your sleep quality....Try 10 minutes, everyday, morning and/or afternoon, and sit still and focus on being aware when your thoughts occur. Observe your thoughts occurring and observe them diminishing without attaching to a thought. Overtime, this becomes a new habitat that causes a silencing of the mind and reducing rumination and any kind of unproductive thinking. In other words, sit still without reacting to the thoughts in your mind until your body learns to be unreactive and calm. Research meditation techniques until you find one that resonates with you. Slow moving Thai Chi is an excellent morning routine that also achieves the same outcome.... And yes, you start to sleep better as well! Hope it helps

Great observation Alex! We sure are fortunate to have digitized his learnings and can keep his philosophical thought circulating in our communities!! Here is a great one philosophizing about our human mental complexity!! Hope you enjoy!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/l56ql6WDbLplfLc

There's no time so what you said is I irrelevant.. not right or wrong. Everything is now. Time is a construct. Age is in time. He speaks of this also. Yet in time, what you say is relevant.

@@cheri238 loved him since I was 21 !

You're very welcome! Here 's another one you may enjoy about "The Complexity of the Human Mind" Much love, Enjoy!!

Mason, Alan Watts definitely has an inspiring play of words, keep listening to his philosophical messages on a daily basis. Stay safe and incorporate consciousness into your daily life, make a few changes if you need to, and stay alive; Hope all is well! Here is an all time favorite Alan Watts on Controlling Your Mind and Letting go of Attachments! :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGS5eHtrd7x7gaM

@@EquanimityLogic thank you for your kind words, I will definitely give it a listen 🙏

Damn…. Same dude…

You must abandon Nihilism my friend.

@@nathanielgordon5659 Not an advocate for Nihilism my friend. Just sharing different philosophical views over the past 20th century... Will be starting a new series on Bible Review from the old testament and the New Testament to get everyone's 21st century point of view! hope you will join? Definitely open minded to older, newer, and science base philosophical view of understanding planet earth! :)

great point! walking meditation is one of our favorites! Peaceful, calm, and focused! Definitely doesn't have to be only seated! :)

That’s not where sitting meditation came from…

@@LlonirTS Humans have sat and contemplated for millions of years! It is unknown exactly where the first human sat and meditated!! But it is fun to speculate! :)

@equanimitylogic is a saint in these comments. Or an AI 🤔 Or AI is a saint? Anyway let’s follow his/her/its example 🙏🙏🆒

@@nadeemtron Thanks for the kind words Nadeemtron! Just a bloke from downunder (Australia) who loves philosophy, psychology, and science; and will be widening the scope of videos as the channel progresses. Hopefully you get some quality out of these videos from past philosophers!! Enjoy... P.s. our kangaroos write our scripts!!

Glad you enjoy! We ensure all Alan Watts uploaded videos are covered under KZbin's creative licenses, and therefore, does not violate any community guidelines and get taken down!! That means, they are here to stay!! Hope you enjoy, there are plenty more to come!! :)

That is part of being human Giuseppe! However, immersive meditation decreases thought attachment and rumination and stops that constant thinking process. Have you tried meditation? Give it a go 10 minutes each morning for one month (don't skip a day) and your mind will be at greater ease.....Hope all s well :)

You are welcome! Let's keep his inspiring words circulating in our society for generations, glad you enjoy! :)

You are welcome Meklit! Philosophy worth spreading throughout everyone's lives!!

You are welcome Natalia! Hope you enjoy, plenty more on the way! :)

Haven't heard that lecture Juaz! Send us a copy and we'll reformat it to capture its philosophical messages!! :)

Thanks Kimberly! Much appreciated (and hopefully) plenty more to follow! :)

The only way to be free is to let go! Some people never learn that internal state of being! Good for you Damien!!

We all perceive things differently, sounds good to me!! These are older recording though because his lifespan ended 50 years ago! Hopefully we can keep his lectures and speeches circulating in our society for generations to come!!

@evansnick81 it doesn’t sound right because, we’ve not trained to be RIGHT! This man is destroying the things that you’ve been thinking is right with his words! Of course you’ll feel it doesn’t sound right!

Glad you enjoyed Lorena! :)

May have to place that meme on a t-shirt and send it out to the world!! :) Great spotting Alex!!

He is such a great character! living in eastern culture for so many years and sharing his wisdom with the west via his translations!

Well said and thank you for sharing Gina! The present moment and being true to oneself are wonderful gifts! Joy is an excellent indicator of self care!!

Glad you liked it!

Thank you!

People on this channel enjoy philosophical thought, and therefore, are not wasting their time! Quite the paradox, that you would (and are) wasting your time telling other people about wasting their time!! Good one!

State his agenda in that case.

And your comment is based on your agenda…how else can it be?

@@jasonbecker4974 Exactly, every human in existence has a motivational agenda, does not mean it needs to be declared!! AKA we all have agendas and yes; how else can it be? Me personally, my agenda is to share thought provoking philosophical perspectives from many different backgrounds (in due course)! I can't think of a good reason why not!! Those who enjoy, continue to enjoy, those who do not, discontinue! Let's keep things simple :)

A few spiritual teachers have direct inner access to the truth of God within. Alan Watts is one of those few. You could accurately call him Gnostic.

I have placed it on the movie to-watch-list!

😊​@@EquanimityLogic

You are welcome Andre! Glad you liked it!! :)

Who Am I? The conscious observer of thought inhabiting this epithelial tissue and skeletal structure! Who is Our mind you ask? In my opinion, a carbon based organ that consists of approx. 85 billion clusters of neurons constantly forming new neural clusters and connections and adapting to our physical experiences; and subsequently, eliciting our behaviors on a conscious and subconscious level. All humans experience similar phenomenon with electrical impulses transducing through our axons evoking the magnitude of behaviors that are prevalent with humans. What a limited and brilliant experience we are involved in!! I am anything but an opiate dealer Raginald!! Enjoy life, listen to Alan Watts and hear his message!! Peace to you brother!!
