I wake up every morning to one of my favourite Alan Watts quotes, I had it framed in my bedroom wall "The meaning of life is just to be alive. It is so plain and so obvious and so simple. And yet, everybody rushes around in a great panic as if it were necessary to achieve something beyond themselves."

[@noahjuanjuneau9598]

I was fortunate to encounter Sensei Watts at the age of 14 - I read many many of his books, some I read several times… I listened to hours and hours of his ‘dharma talks’ both recorded and on video… I’m 77 years old now and… I have to say he was one of the wisest, hippest, most inspirational, and most intelligent individuals I have encountered on this planet in the past 63 years. Ever so GRATEFUL. Thank you Sensei.

When I was a child in the 70s my aunt and uncle were really into The lectures and literature of Mr.Watts. these people were unlike any other people I knew. They never got angry or loud or stressed out at least in front of I and my two cousins. I remember thinking as I got older into my teens how I wanted to be like them However I just now started to figure things out at 51 but I see how wonderful this world and life here can be. Thanks for uploading his teachings and thanks Mark and Allan

This is exactly what I've been trying to explain to humanity. we all and everything around us are part of a picture only few choose to see. Most choose to only see their part of the story. When there is so much more to it than that. Our systems have trapped our minds made us focus on only our selves. We need to step out of the box we put our selves in. And look for our selves so we can see the real picture.

Alan did very profound thinking and had practical experiences in addition to and academic work in religion and philosophy. I believe that all this information that Alan speaks in this recording, is information out there to tune into for a sensitive person who has a long, long journey behind him or her. It amazes me that I have come to the same conclusion than Alan. I love listening to him. Any human being can come to the same conclusion, it is there for all of us to discover. He is a beautiful and powerful soul.

While I understand that Alan Watts wasn't some messiah or all-knowing guru, and that he had his flaws and shortcomings just like everyone does, I still can't help but feel a certain kind of... "spiritual respect" for him. Maybe his ideas weren't completely original and maybe he wasn't a serious, respectable, academic philosopher in the way that serious, respectable, academic philosophers define themselves. So what? Who cares? He was still uniquely talented at taking ideas and perspectives which are fundamentally incompatible with the traditional western worldview, and translating them not only into terms we can understand and resonate with, but do so in a way which is entertaining and pleasant to listen to. That's not something everyone is able to do, and I remain grateful that he chose to do so. I am a more well-rounded human being because Alan Watts gave and recorded so many lectures.

[@Michael_X313]

It's his genuine flow imo. He keeps his talks very real.

i dont get this criticism. i can understand being distracted by the music but how does it trivialize what he is saying? his words are still his words. his life is still his life. this just seems like unnecessary negativity that helps no one and serves no actual purpose whatsoever.

Thank you for these ! The legacy continues and hopefully for a very long time ! Perhaps when the world begins again all these lectures could be put in a time capsule so that it forms the basis of early consciousness and therefore , maybe, just maybe , humankind might just get it right !

I think the point is that everything is as it needs to be. We already are 'gettinh it right'. We are here, in the eternal moment. That's enough. Choose the life you would have, but don't expect to have it. You may, or you may not, and that's the way it has to be.

[@andreasfehlau4965]

I have been traveling quite a lot lately and I can say that "I" is repeating itself everywhere. For instance, if I had a time machine and I could go back 4000 years and pinch a baby and let it grow up in this time, it wouldn't be different than anyone else. In other words, our technology, coupled with knowledge, is our tool, mentally as well as physically. Unfortunately, we all obsessively cling to the past, even though the future is Hier. So help the future to thrive or keep your psychological mouth shut.
