“Perhaps the foremost interpreter of Eastern disciplines for the contemporary West, Alan Watts had the rare gift of ‘writing beautifully the un-writable’. Watts begins with scholarship and intellect and proceeds with art and eloquence to the frontiers of the spirit. A fascinating entry into the deepest ways of knowing.” - Los Angeles Times

Forget yourself and you will get yourself back. Amazing man.

[@incognito7479]

Noone in the metaphysical world impresses me as much as Alan Watts It’s a joy listening to him.

[@LightWorker-mp6mf]

I know exactly how you feel ❤

[@NoRivalRecords]

I used to think other people would be like Alan watts. No one was.

[@hollistershoemate]

I used to arrive to school really early due to transportation availability and on the radio at 4-5am to 6am for the college was always Alan Watts. He has helped shape my life in ways I didn't think about before and now years later still finding wisdom in his words

[@Cant-Think-Of-Anythink-Better]

Only voice that instantly calms me, lost but not forgoten.

[@Zen_stride]

Alan is a gem

[@FaisalAzizFizzy20000]

Funnily enough, one of the central points in “How to win friends and influence people” is that you must be interested in others in order for them to be interested in you

[@sublinimalmessage7958]

I love his voice

[@alexandregaudry152]

I love listening to this guy! Such an amazing human. Rip Alan!

[@seeklife181]

Stumbled across one of his lectures in the library back in 2013. I’ve been listening to him ever since. He was genuinely a real person and didn’t make any qualms about it.

[@rdog421]

One of the worst people I’ve ever met told me I needed to read a book called “How to win friends and influence people”.

[@AlanWattsOrg]

😆

[@user-ex8xf9fr7u]

Same

[@ItsDayDayTv]

How about trying both reading the book and doing something interesting. Form your own perspective

[@Spiritual.Madness]

I believe we are allready all we can ever be. And the only real task we have in this life is getting out of our own way to let that 100% shine through without interference of our ego.

[@maltonic42]

Yes, it is just noticing what we already are, rather than becomming something (enlightened etc.). This is important to know, because most people think, they are seeking something special, that they have never experienced before, but they are already that many times at any day. Its just not recognized and then there comes all that mental noise again. Then it seems, to be not existent at all.

[@Spiritual.Madness]

@@maltonic42 well put and so true. It actually reminds me of this thing I read the other day. About a woman who knows she's been true many traumatizing experiences. Yet she doesnt know why she doesnt feel anything about it. So she goes out looking. Looking obsessively for details about what happened to see if she can feel it. Than she has this insight that the fact she doenst feel it, IS the effect of the trauma. And then you realise the trauma has always been embued with yourself. And it becomes so tangible and essential in your experience. Just like the discovery of the true self.

[@d.s.douglas1281]

I got to grow up listening to him every Sunday , when tv 📺 & radio 📻 broadcast stations had to have some kind of religious or spiritual service …!

[@d.s.douglas1281]

Save Druid Heights as a cultural heritage site….!!!

[@ChristEnlightenment]

Maybe you should just listen to Christ our savior and follow him. Not all religious are wrong, you just assume that if you don't understand it or God.

[@tersooachineku]

Of all things I'm most grateful for, it's that God gave me the opportunity to complete the great Alan Watt's mission. He always wanted to be able to SEE THE WORLD from outside himself and I'm glad I accomplished that with the Igunnuko Traditional people. ❤

[@MarianaSantos1974]

He was my very first guru 🙏🏻

[@shelvispatrickii2329]

This is real! Alan Watts is the truth!

[@bemore2886]

I got my way. Alan watts listener for years now.

[@noobslayeru]

To love another as other for that other, will get you true personality.

[@lilaccilla]

so cool this man ! started listening to him as a teen in 1970

[@_eddiecole]

Now i know where that book title came from lol

[@JJNow-gg9so]

He is a joy to listen to.🙏

[@Nintendoes2]

Hes my number 1

[@1castellp]

"Third Rock From The Sun" sitcom taught me how to be a person

[@lorenzomizushal3980]

I actually did though. One of our friends in high school with close to zero social skills had a significant improvement after reading How to Win Friends and Influence People.

[@ricksandoval1187]

It's a good book. But I see this guy's point too.

[@audiofeinz5754]

Beautiful wise mystic closest thing to God fr

[@MangalSinghDhami]

Persona becomes overloaded after sometimes how beautiful and great it is.

[@nobhiker]

Let go of ego. I have to remind myself of that all the time

[@yoyo-wr9ep]

Such wisdom ..he,s my go to man .💥🙏

[@TheGiantMidget]

It fundamentally boils down to a simple concept. People are not interested in you for no reason, they are interested in you because of what you offer them, wether that's business, insight, financial assistance, sex, laughter.. whatever. If you're only interested in yourself then you don't really have anything to offer anyone

[@alfinlibres3]

I love you Alan❤

[@basantadel355]

Amazing ❤

[@7motion985]

❤❤❤❤ I love him

[@milkboccle]

How on earth have I only just found out about this guy?

[@jososr3271]

It wasn't time yet.

My ego is my enemy. I'm not special, I'm not unique and replaceable anywhere.

[@WorkForit-yk6zr]

What is ego

[@hudzGee]

Your ego is also another gift given to you to help you experience life uniquely to you.

[@oaax20]

I like how Alan watts address this, that ego doesn’t exist, the duality of men is just illusion and the reality is just that you are only a human who do things.

[@HangrySaturn]

True true

[@shmirie666]

Allan watts is one of those people you use as an example of an old soul

[@mrscooshy1838]

Rip 🙏

[@GrubKiller436]

Exactly. I read that book "How to win friends and influence people." The book teaches you stuff, sure. But you can't just immediately jump from uncharismatic to charismatic from reading it.

[@robertstates6538]

I must be interesting, I have so many people gangstalkig me

[@user-ob4pw3mw8n]

Did he just smash Dale Carnegie? 😂

[@Heather-fx7sr]

That’s what I heard!

[@Oldmanbraun]

Rightfully so

[@ricksandoval1187]

Sounds like. But that book is interesting too. It made a lot of sense to me because my personality was already there so it's not faking it, it just made me understand more about myself. But this Alan guy is interesting too.

[@pleaseleavemealoneandgoheal]

💯

[@TheDeepening718]

There is no personality. The thing they find interesting is just a pattern of behavior. An object in a constant state of change has no identity until it stops changing.

[@miscellaneousSLUDGE]

Amazing! Very profound words

[@Woolong-ql1jh]

I need to write this down

[@PopularDemand1000]

This is very insightful. Thanks for the comment. Do you think that a personality is a particular expression of a general (archetypal) pattern of behavior? It is true that we cycle through identities as we move through the day and through our life, and woe to those who never change.

[@craigseganti8999]

Sounds profound but not. Those patterns of behavior are called personality. It's like saying there is no such thing as an orange, it is just a series of molecules.

[@PopularDemand1000]

@@craigseganti8999 fair enough, perhaps different descriptions of the same thing. A personality is a classification of that particular pattern of behaviors. It coalesces into that identifiable phenomena.

[@supp282]

*sneakily hides "how to win friends and influence people" book

[@savannahshepherd2283]

Profit off a great mans free knowledge

[@AlanWattsOrg]

Alan actually charged for most of his live lectures, all his books, and his audio/video recordings. He never identified as a guru, rather he claimed to be an entertainer. His son, Mark, travelled with him for many years, recording his talks, editing and packaging them for distribution. Together they set up the Electronic University, now the Alan Watts Org, and Mark continues Alan’s efforts to be a custodian to the integrity of his father’s voice, helping to spread Alan’s potent, yet lighthearted, message for the world to enjoy. However, all of this energy input by Mark continues to require resources… so we are still offering Alan’s work in fresh formats to the public - in exchange for their support. We hope you’ll find value, or at least understanding, in this response, and in the restored and remastered audio we’ve been working diligently to provide.

[@NghiLa-yv6kv]

💖💖💖💖💖!..

[@kyle.falconer]

Wow I didn’t know any video of him existed

[@AlanWattsOrg]

We have 34 color videos of him on the streaming platform and new app!

[@josevillasenor3051]

but it's great to let them know where did you pick up you're fruits from ☯️

damn, I could not recognize him with short hair and without beard

[@donn2427]

Oh, don't knock. Dale Carnegie

[@JoeyMonteleone]

Holy shite

[@humantacos9800]

I have no personality. I know things, that no one is interested in.

[@santhoshgopinath816]

. My persona is never free ; but I can be free of my persona .

[@FishForFoodNotSport]

Actually yeah you can and I did and people find me much more interesting for it.

[@dubiousgoose23]

Can anyone please tell me the title of this?

[@AlanWattsOrg]

Apologies, I must have missed adding a full description on this one. It’s titled Zen in Gardens and Architecture from the Eastern Wisdom and Modern Life TV series. Available with 33 other full length color videos on the official Alan Watts streaming platform and app with a subscription which supports our restoration efforts. In browser/web at Play.AlanWatts.org or in AppStore’s as Alan Watts : The Ultimate Alan Watts Experience

[@ABO-Destiny]

Which is why most corporate management courses are harmful

[@jonesready3325]

😂😂😂😂😂😂TRUE!

[@strikingitrich7630]

Where is the whole video?

[@AlanWattsOrg]

A free extended preview is on this channel - just search Judo and Fencing. The full remastered and colorized video along with the entire Eastern Wisdom and Modern Life television series it belongs to is available on our official Alan Watts streaming platform at play.alanwatts.org with a monthly subscription. There are a dozen or so other full length videos there to watch for free to sample the platform and app.

[@suesmith9665]

I wonder whzt happens to him?

[@ILLUMINATION313EVO]

If everyone did this then no one would be interested by anyone. If you think about it there needs to be a uninterested one to be interested in someone interesting. We all need each other in s certain way.

[@victoriakudry3127]

I have bad news for you, you are born with your personality already!!!! That is why you will have hell of the time changing it😂

[@domjfp]

His point still stands. I would say you’re both right 😮

[@f.u.c8308]

False

[@CBBBJ]

He don’t even know man….2024 got nothing but influencers teaching how to have a personality 😂😂 he prolly looking down like smh smoking his pipe 😂

[@FLIGHT1234321]

Uh...not sure about this one...Dale Carnegie literally wrote the book on how to win friends and influence people in the 1930s...a lot of self help and human psychology stems from his writing...including being interesting

[@giuseppesallustro3504]

Dale Carnagie doesn't like this content

[@zelalemmekonnen8030]

lol😂

[@user-zc5mi8sh6k]

To steal someone’s life to have your own Forced to be interested Savage behavior 😮😮😮
