Alan Watts on Trusting the Universe (NO MUSIC)

[@RScottLaMorte]

THANK YOU NO MUSIC. Adding music to watts is like spraypainting a redwood.

[@plantsinrocks]

Maybe... But Wattswave by Akira the Don on Spotify is one of my favorite stations / playlists

[@bftruly]

Thank you for no music. Thank you for no rain, waterfalls or moving water off any kind. Thank you for no tibetan singing bowls. Thank you for providing the talk as is.

[@Mrgoofyoops]

I am always very happy to find a recording of a lecture from Alan Watts. His deep knowledge of history, cultures, spiritual traditions, and wisdom teachings combined with his speaking skills makes for thoroughly enjoyable, and uplifting listening.

[@I_goch]

You should listen to his son's recordings on the be here now channel :)

[@HelloMyNameIsCody]

Amazing speaker… I don’t currently or never will be able to speak like him but he’s one wise teacher. The words flow as an artist makes music in the present moment yeno. Genius

[@AlanWattsInspiration-v6i]

love how this video highlights that real power comes not from controlling everything, but from trusting and empowering others. The idea that the universe works in harmony when we stop resisting and start flowing with it really resonates with me. This is such a refreshing reminder that our energy is best used when we let go of our need to manage every detail. How do you all think we can practice more of this in our daily lives?

[@ArtofZentrification]

After I discovered Watts I learned that I may be pathologically Taoist. Most of my life has been uncalculated, but it was only 4 years ago that I heard anyone suggest that it was a good thing. I think through the practice of activities that grant easy access to meditative states we are allowed the possibility of direct experience of flowing without thought. One example of this for me is playing music. I can't write music by consciously thinking about it. I have to just play. Or sometimes I will paint a canvas blending colors and then see the image in the brush strokes and shades, and accentuate it. From a professional standpoint, I have been a Chef for 25 years. You can't resist the process of cooking. You can't force the process of cooking. You guide the process of cooking. You collaborate with it. It was by applying the teaching's and Watts and Taoism to my philosophy in the kitchen that I saw how it all works. Flowing is a skill that can be easily transferred to other aspects of life once one has an understanding. The fact that we are having this conversation is because I quit cooking five months ago and all I can say is, I know which direction I am going but the path can change at any moment.

[@kaushalsuvarna5156]

My life has been mostly out of control for some decades now. Often i see the beauty in it. However I lost a girl who truly loved me, so I don't fully agree with the Universe either

[@theendarkenedilluminatus4342]

This talk keeps reminding me of The Limits of Control by Jim Jarmusch.

How so? If that particular topic is on your mind, and by your statement I believe you're saying that sarcastically but The Myth of Sisyphus by Albert Camus might be interesting given that particular topic is discussed. It was quite meaningful to me.

Awful subtitles, very frequently incorrect, really ruins the quality.

[@ArtofZentrification]

Yeah, I fucked that up. It was early in my doing this and poor vision led to an err in judgement and I trusted the machines. The video has been good to the channel but I intend to break it in three parts and fix the subtitles after some original videos that I have in the works. I could pull it but I like the comments. I went from managing large teams in professional kitchens to working from home and I didn't bring the attention to detail with me, but I sorted that out.

Watts toured and lectured a lot which often makes it hard to pinpoint exactly, but this recording is likely mid to late 1960s.

[@MaliciousMadi]

Do you trust your heart to pump blood and oxygen to throughout your body? Or do you consciously do it. Do you consciously make yourself breathe in and out all the time? or does your lungs take care of it for you without your conscious input? Open your mind and realize how things outside your body are doing these same things on their own, thus you should let things flow of their own accord.
