Alan Watts on the Path Beyond Desire

Alan Watts' "Way Beyond Seeking" is a profound exploration of the concept of non-seeking as a path to enlightenment. In this thought-provoking talk, Watts argues that the pursuit of happiness and fulfillment often leads to frustration and suffering. Instead, he suggests embracing a state of non-seeking, where we let go of our desires and attachments, allowing ourselves to be open to the present moment. Watts draws on Eastern philosophies, particularly Zen Buddhism, to illustrate his points and offer practical guidance for living in the present moment. Discover the liberating power of non-seeking and the profound peace that can be found when we let go of our attachments.

Anyone know the date of the actual speaking event?? At least the year?? Big thanks ahead of time ✌🏻♾

[@TheMysticalCompass]

@@friedricengravy6646 the only thing I can really find is a book by the same title "Way Beyond Seeking". It appears to be a collection of transcripts that were published in 1998.

[@TheMysticalCompass]

@@friedricengravy6646 From what I read this is part of the Essential Alan Watts collection. All these talks I've uploaded are from a retail collection, wish I knew more about them. 🙂
