Alan Watts on the Limits of Language - Being in the Way Podcast Ep. 28 - Hosted by Mark Watts

[@HydrusT]

Watts and McKenna are two of the greatest thinkers and philosophers of our time. ❤️🙏🏾

[@johncollins806]

This man’s words have changed my life to say the least. I did heroin for 22 years and have done way too much time in prison. One way or another the synchronicity brought my path to him. Ty universe almighty

[@stevenknoph711]

I am in the same path also, convicted felon, ex drug addict now 1.5 years clean. You're not alone man. I listen to watts every night also

[@christopherschmitt9924]

Fuck yeah ty!!!

[@LazyInnovator]

That’s amazing brother🎉

[@maxplayerOtaku]

💀 Well good thing you changed but , I don't get why people do drugs or alcohol just for the trance feeling

[@codymills6429]

I am currently struggling myself with addiction and have been in and out of jail since I was 16, now 30....at this point am just hoping that one day it kills me outright....the world nowadays is truly a disturbing time to be alive but also an interesting one as well. Drugs(meth) help my ADHD brain to slow down because doctors won't prescribe me ADHD medication that works because I am an addict....see the contradiction and the predicament I am in? If I'm not high my brain goes too fast and won't stop thinking and anymore those thoughts are VERY dark towards myself. So I can't get clean without being properly medicated but I won't be medicated because I use drugs to medicate myself when the doctors won't....FML

[@Douradaniel]

Thank you Mark and family to keep Alan’s voice and message on the air. The best !

[@loridunstan1129]

I so appreciate having access to this life changing material. Thank you for all you do 🙏❤

[@bascogolfer5210]

Alan Watts is greater than western culture itself for me. No other western Philospher is better than him when it comes to explaining and teaching.

[@psionicbrotha8903]

He grew from it tho, meaning that he would not be what he was If there was no western culture.

[@AllisOneOneisAll]

​​@@psionicbrotha8903yes, the alcoholism is proof. he just knew and was able to deprogram himself adequately to adopt into the more inclusive Eastern philosophy and ideology to be able to teach and liberate other westerners.

[@lewwal8327]

Interesting rambles by a modestly focused polymath.

[@marcelkuiper5474]

He is one of my teachers amongst a small group of teachers who where humble enough not to refer to themselves as masters, their students do, that's how you recognize a Master. Nice fact: they recently found out and record how plants communicate through a to the human eye an invisible mist.

[@ovarianbarbarian4186]

What is the process called? And they communicate with humans through the air with invisible mist?

[@ontheflyphil]

One of his best lectures ever?!

[@cameliaturda6472]

Inteligența emoțională a acestui om mă ține în viață , Recunoștință . 💫

[@dickyboyryw]

Bless you, your siblings, relatives for keeping Alan's work out there. You're helping So many folk. Your father is up there with Jesus and Gautama Buddha. Magical messengers *

[@rakagiaco3065]

Mark you and your father saved me from inevitable suicide and allowed me to move on and be at peace of my best friends suicide as well please continue to do what you do you’ve made your father so proud and really lived up to his last words in ways he never could have imagined

[@TheSoulBlossom]

These recordings should be sent out to space

[@williamlukeduckett7653]

Very much before his time ❤

[@ontheflyphil]

I've never herd this talk before.. absolutely amazing as usual!

[@williamlukeduckett7653]

Greetings all, thank you very much for these recording,l've been listening to Alan words and different prospectives for several years now ,very refreshing to say the least❤🙏

[@thomasLivesInANewCountryNow]

He was an inspiration a great guru great insight intelligence He would've been one hundred years old today. Listening from the 70s it's not dated whatsoever totally contemporary.

[@angelsheart85]

I should have been lived when he did! The mind and spirit of his being....❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@psionicbrotha8903]

Amazing talk, one of his best in my opinion and I ve been listening since I was 17 and I am 32 now. We need this now more than ever. Thank you for this Mark, much love!

[@Charles-allenGodwin]

We live in a word built Uni-verse (unified verses = narrative). Words are frequencies in resonant alignment with their referent frequencies. Words are the smallest atomic unit if narratives. Every perception is to some extent memory. Every memory is to some extent imagination. Perceived narratives are the outcome. Our world to view mirrors our worldview. Our worldview is a narrative. To change the narrative, change perspective. Every choice we make generates a corresponding timeline of experience. Is the resulting narrative a limit or a creative guideline? No wrong answer - only another choice.

[@jaseservos7634]

Yep probably saved my life numerous times , certainly saved my minds mental health thousands of times , thank You alan.

[@drm54321]

Brilliant! Thank you Alan and Mark 🙂

[@jamlo3278]

Ty for sharing it proves that with the right words and spiritual awareness anytime is possible ☝️🙏

[@StephenPalmer-o8x]

Now i know why some people Don't watch tv

[@FlorenceRoseWooward]

Did you accidentally date a dolphin instead of a human man as well because I did not concern to cross spaces hybridisation in my pussy? Wawa?

[@FreshlyWILD]

The best!

[@Taldaran]

I have seen quite a few comments here to the distracting nature of the sounds of ice cubes clinking in a glass, So I will offer an alternate possibility. A lot of people jump to the conclusion that it's a highball that he's drinking, but quite often he wore beads and varieties of pendants.

[@AymaneBenyoussef-w8c]

Thankyou for share with us. I am glad for you you has great father us Alan watts🙏

[@emmanim944]

why do i always fall asleep when listening to his podcast

[@Rajmaata8829]

I fell asleep to. I like to think it’s because he’s speaking to my subconscious and it steps forward so it can be completely focused on the information.

[@lisahoney4913]

I agree...And his voice is beautifully mesmerizing. As I sleep, when I hear something fantastic, it pops me right up out of sleep to soak it in consciously.

[@staciejean]

Wonderful recording!!!Just downloaded the app! Thank you!

[@stemdar]

What is the app called?

[@staciejean]

@@stemdar Alan Watts App is the name

[@staciejean]

@@stemdar it's AMAZING! Everyone should download it!

[@StephenPalmer-o8x]

Way ahead of the politcally correct era

[@FlorenceRoseWooward]

Thank you

[@psychiccouple1728]

Amazing thank you

[@NOBODYATALL1111]

Extraordinary

[@StephenPalmer-o8x]

My experience is my experience Though so many others Believe otherwise

[@moefun19]

It's true Alan the true Divine. does not differentiate.

[@hawkarae]

Immortality

[@gauriblomeyer1835]

Quite true. Languages have got a frame and this frame grew in the last centuries. There was a time when nobody had understood the meaning of plethora. Today all the Greek expressions have been included. But what is the meaning of Sachchidananda or Mahashakti ? The whole wisdom of Sanskrit is unknown in the English language today. This limitation of the English language will cease when the expressions of the Sanskrit language entered into the English language.

[@kevinbissinger]

No. You can't put the universe into words because the universe is not made of words.

[@DennisMader-n4b]

There is something in this background that sounds very much like ice cubes in a glass and something in Dr Watt’s presentation and in his chuckle that cause me to imagine he might have been 3 sheets in the wind at the time of this lecture. I understand he was very fond of his scotch and his pipe. Do you see what I mean? Is it my imagination or is it possible…?

[@doncahooti]

..or perhaps it's a porcelain spoon cooling a steaming cup of green tea ?

[@VenusLover17]

❤❤❤

[@mrtheo7680]

Tremendous

[@bonniepeperkamp-moy7526]

If you are interested in language, listen to Maximus Peperkamp

[@CaptainPhilosophical]

Does anyone else need a drink?

[@mikefox3939]

I want, but don't need

[@stevenloudermilk7036]

im pretty sure Alan had a couple during this recording

[@CaptainPhilosophical]

@@stevenloudermilk7036 yes, the clinking of ice was what spurred my comment.

[@anneolsen4181]

🥰

[@MaximusPeperkamp]

He doesn’t get to the real deal…the difference between Disembodied Language (DL) and Embodied Language (EL) for that you have to go to Maximus Peperkamp

[@Zekearus53]

Whoever recorded this with that tea cup noise in the background really ruined it for me. Never had any issues before but that shit was driving me nuts

[@bigfluff73]

it's probably Alan's glass

[@StephenPalmer-o8x]

Postmodern

[@baka_yaro_sama]

I rue the day youtube's algo suggested Alan Watts' videos. How can one reject all these useless recommendations?

[@kevinbissinger]

There's literally an option to tell youtube not to recommend a video. Here's an idea, stop clicking on the videos you don't want to watch, and definitely don't leave comments. It's not youtube doing that, it's you.

[@kevinbissinger]

Super appropriate username, Mr Moron.

[@StephenPalmer-o8x]

In other words There is not an objective reality

[@dianacudby7290]

His words don't make any sense, not wasting my data on this

[@ideasandtrucking]

Don’t try too hard to analyze it with your mind instead feel it in your body more and relax

[@sisselhansen3915]

It's like the loving advices:"Make It Simple" & "Shut Up And Listen"!!! Thanks alot, for putting this on KZbin.❤🙏🏽🫂💐🎼🎶🆒 And you're his son! That must have been an awesome childhood😍
