Alan Watts - Profound Reality of Space: Concept of Nothingness

[@manir61]

This is a refreshing speech from him... Thank you.

[@EquanimityLogic]

You're Welcome!❤️❤️

[@DeclanGilmartin]

Without space nothing else could exist because there would be no space for it to exist in.

[@EquanimityLogic]

Exactly, how can a universe expand if there was no space to expands into!

[@MrJustinmorse]

If nothing exists without space, then - within what does space, itself, exist?!

[@typeterson1822]

My gf said we need space, I finally know what she really meant

[@bubbasez1687]

Funny thing is, there is no such thing as space. Nor emptiness. Space was a place marker just like dark energy and dark matter. They're obsessed with explaining everything somehow without the aether.

[@Micheal313]

Watts' metaphysics talks are really good, I agree.

Time is an endless succession of nows.

[@EquanimityLogic]

What a great observation! The endless succession of nows is all we ever have!

[@Zen.Kyokushinkai]

An endless succession of nows would also imply an endless succession of thens ? 🤔

Our language limits our thinking

[@EquanimityLogic]

How true!

[@ritazammit]

There is no thinking without language ❤

[@ElielVieira-h7j]

​@@ritazammitthats called being used to a state of being. do you think if u went on and isolated yoself from ppl and spend 5 years alone do you think u would still be thinking with words? theyrenly necessary for basic comunication the universe isnt basic but infinite thats why it limits, got it

[@timesywimesy]

At 1:02:50ish he mentions writing "Under every word in this book is paper" then writing "paper..paper..paper.." each page tbereafter, anywho one day back in the 90s at a barnes an noble in missoula, MT, someone had written that exact thing in sevral sketchbooks 😂 I always thought that was so damn Zen! An then I hear its Alan watts who suggested it 😅😂

[@EquanimityLogic]

Absolutely amazing when you make connections like that!! Fantastic!! He was a leader!!👍😊❤️

[@joegardens1973]

Alan Watts is like a half a pound of flour in a 1 pound bag... Room to fill and some to pour out if you needed... finding half full is the middle way.

[@EquanimityLogic]

Well said Joe! Love the analogy! 😊❤️👍

[@howard1beale]

The news in the guardian is the space between the adverts

[@EquanimityLogic]

lol, nothingness!!

[@unfrozencavemanlawyer3950]

Space is not empty. It’s full of space.

[@EquanimityLogic]

If space didn't exist, we couldn't see it, nor could we ask "what is in the space" therefore, Space must have a physical presence? Perhaps the physical part is outside of our human 300-700 nano-metre perception, and therefore, cannot directly perceive its physical characteristics, but it must exist (because it holds stuff)! 😊❤️👍

[@FormsInSpace]

@@EquanimityLogic or space only "exists" as an abstract concept, (the opposite of stuff). but ultimately "existence" is only what we "perceive/know/conceive/experience" there fore all existence is an abstract concept and thus an illusion. (says the solipsist)

[@ocofficial5481]

If Alan could here this, apparently my dads teeth got healed lol

[@EquanimityLogic]

Space does brilliant things!!

[@andrewpennell2879]

How much space is needed for a dream?

[@EquanimityLogic]

What a great question Andrew, have not contemplated that before! In my opinion, Our dreams usually reflect an experience of some kind from our conscious awaken state, therefore, dreams could not occur without a similar experience taking place at some point in our lives whilst awake; because there would be no sensory input that conducts energy into our 85 billion neural network for a dream to be based upon. So, the space required for dreams to occur would be proportional to the proximity of the original experienced stimuli that occurred in the dream, for example, if you dreamt of the day you went rock climbing, then the space required would be quite large because your brain received sensory stimuli of an open large space that you originally perceived, however, if you seen rock climbing on KZbin and dreamt of that, then the space required for that dream to occur would be quite small (computer screen as sensory input). To give you a politician answer! All dreams would need to be considered on a case-by-case basis and the total space required would need to be calculated based on the original sensory input experience. Great question! Would love to hear yours and the entire internet's response to this question! 😊👍

Pay for premium 😂😂

[@ceeemm1901]

KZbin is starting to make itself unpopular by too much control over peoples comments and control of ads. The internet I reckon will eat itself soon on account of it becoming a fkn TV Shopping Channel like the ones watched by lonely neurotic housewives.
