Alan Watts | Live Without Worry & Fear | Never be worried Again | Live Without Anxiety

Always he has a way of explaining the complicated in such a simplified manner and never comes off as “woke” and try Harding for likes

Definitely one of the best, but please take a chance and listen to Mooji and/or Eckhart Tolle as well.

Whenever I feel overwhelmed by life, and I’m feeling anxious, depressed, or even hopeless, I listen to Alan and it makes me feel better and feel that things are going to be alright. It’s a priceless thing to have when feeling this way.

I completely agree! Alan Watts has a way of bringing clarity and calm when things feel overwhelming. His words remind us that life is about flow, and that tough moments will pass. It’s amazing how his wisdom can shift our perspective and bring peace.

Too bad he was part of the deceptive Fallen World, studied how to control thoughts and worshiped dark entities. What he was involved in was so bad I won't even mention it. I have forgiven him, but become ill just tearing his voice now and have burned all of his books. I am so sick of learning about how so many were secretly motivated to deceive for money and control. This guy really did fool a lot of people and unfortunately I was one of them.

Listening to Watts on and off for 4 years. He provides some golden nuggets of info or points you in a direction to do more research. Applying what I’ve learned over the years makes me almost immune to having a bad day or getting angry over other people’s actions. I also have found peace within rather than chasing external vices.

Watts has this incredible ability to delve into complex philosophical concepts and explain them in such a relatable and accessible manner. His words resonate deeply within, reminding us of the power of living in the present moment and embracing the essence of Zen. This video is a true gift for anyone seeking inner peace, tranquility, and a deeper understanding of life. I highly recommend it to all those who wish to embark on a spiritual journey and explore the depths of their own consciousness. Thank you for sharing this profound wisdom!

Conversations, lectures such as this, stirs up to understand more and better, as well as realize how much we do not know and may never hear again, or maybe never hear. Only being here fully in the moment without leaping ahead or forming a question which interrupts attention and learning from the one who shares their POV and experiences.

[@vitin6039]

Watts wrote his 1st book in 1951, since no other guru have come even close to his way with words.Will love to hear his take on this crazy relativistic world.

[@TheGutter404]

Alan Watts indeed has a way of grounding us back to what truly matters, a philosophy that I often explore on my channel through various lenses, including the business world. This video is a goldmine of wisdom, encouraging us to live a life unbounded by societal pressures, a message that is more important now than ever. Thank you for sharing this beacon of wisdom and light. 🌟

[@yudithenya]

Each time I listen to Alan talk I strip myself into a different space of time that are nothingness until I hear him talking about giving no meaning to that which is meaningless which even if I want it to blow my mind it doesn't since I lose it to the ever morphing and dispersing dissolving and fading away from the meaningful to meanigless.

[@deeannacoy3361]

Plato thought the self is an immortal soul and existed before we were born. He believed all knowledge is remembered from our prior existence. A teacher(Zen master) can set forth a line of questioning that draws the knowledge from your subconscious memories of past existence which contains all knowledge you've ever retained in your collective subconscious. You don't have to fear being alone after death there is one true self, but with minions of egos experiences, knowledge.

That's a tough situation... I'm not a teacher or any authority on anything, but I wonder if your role isn't to just help her to see the freedom you have found in the wisdom of the present moment.

You can't not worry - not out of some personal will at least. Firstly, you don't control your will. You don't choose what you want - that would just be expressing more 'want.' We don't choose our thoughts. We don't choose what we feel inside. Yes, those things can change, and we can learn habits, but worry never goes away. And you're not in control of it. Because 'to be in control' is a fallacy, since while perhaps we have free will, we still don't choose what that will is. Again, that would just be more 'expression of will.' And so you can, in a very deep way, let go - only because you know it's entirely not up to you. And so you also won't let go, often. And that not letting go is anxiety. And being forced to feel anxiety - your willingness to do it - it's the only thing to do in the moment. Teach yourself to be willing to feel it. And watch the anxiety transmute as it's being felt. "The mind that clings to nothing, rejects nothing" - that's you right now. Not because there's no clinging. There is - you're anxious. You're clenched inside. We all are. The statement is true because there's no mind. There's clinging, there's just not you.

What helps me to decompress from hostile or passive aggressive interactions based on reflections I immediately work on mentally, is to revisit all the right assertions I had and remembering the nonverbal cues I also gave to deescalate the tension, and most importantly assure myself that their lack of empathy or healthy management of their emotions is due to something I am ignorant about and also NOT my fault, as in, it's their problem, which I will not let affect my self-esteem.
