Alan Watts & Akira The Don - LIFE IS NOT A JOURNEY | Music Video

[@EdgarFriendlysCivicsTeacher]

Castle in the Sky! Beautiful call. Studio Ghibli has given me some of my dearest memories of watching films with my children.

Same!

One of the most potent Meaningwave tracks 🙌🙌

[@CoZzyvvr]

Heroic dose of meaningwave! 😆

One of the best pieces of animation and song for this lecture. Ghibli movies almost never have an "End", but they always feel like you met the characters midway through their life, got to see a part of it, and then you depart for your own world. It's not a journey with an end, but just a bit of wonder we get to share.

I love this. Everytime a Ghibli movie ends it doesnt feel like an ending. I always thought there was a sense to want to see more.

[@joshdoucette4790]

Proceed mindfully in this moment. It's the only moment there is.

[@sheckypavel9452]

This here today really brought a sense of Joy ! 💜

[@ILoveBouncies]

I read this video as being posted 11 years ago. What a gloriously timeless day that is going to be to experience. 🥰

[@AnujDubeyEng]

Thanks Akira, once again. You are amazing. Life is music, meant to be sung and danced to while it plays!

[@akirathedon]

AMEN! 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@ausivan]

Love it when you put on the retro yellow subtitles my guy. Part of me is always sad when I watch a video that is missing them. Adds that extra layer of integration.

[@dsa7098]

[@TheBestgoku]

there is a quality, a feeling of class, a feeling of polish. I like this feeling, in your work.

[@akirathedon]

What a delightful thing to read, thank you.

[@Plum96]

Beautiful song, and a powerful message

Love it. A helpful reminder of how 'the journey' can be a limiting analogy in life, and even lead to frustration and depression with regard to comparisons, our relative rate of 'progress,' and the shocking emptiness of reaching a goal.

[@akirathedon]

That's part of the reasoning behind the Systems ? Goals idea - if the goal is the be all and end all, one is always in a stage of anticipation or lack until one achieves it, and then what?

[@RobDaCajun]

Thank you for this upload.

[@akirathedon]

DE NADA!

[@megaversemusic7822]

Ooh... saw this in my feed and was going to ignore it, but then decided to play it and pow! It was very insightful for me.
