Alan Watts was an incredible philosopher and speaker who had a unique way of exploring Eastern philosophy and spirituality. His captivating lectures and books have inspired countless people around the world.
Alan Watts was born in England in 1915 and developed a deep interest in Eastern philosophy from a young age. He studied Buddhism, Taoism, and Hinduism, and became a renowned interpreter of these philosophies for Western audiences. His ability to bridge the gap between Eastern and Western thought made him a popular figure in the counterculture movement of the 1960s.
One of the central themes in Watts' teachings was the concept of "the self." He explored the idea that our sense of self is an illusion, and that we are all interconnected with the universe. He encouraged people to embrace the present moment and find joy in the simple act of being alive.
Watts had a way of delivering profound insights with a sense of humor and playfulness. He believed that life should be approached with a sense of wonder and curiosity, and that we should not take ourselves too seriously. His lectures often included anecdotes, stories, and metaphors that helped illustrate his points in an engaging and relatable way.
In addition to his lectures, Watts wrote numerous books on topics such as Zen Buddhism, Taoism, and the nature of consciousness. Some of his most well-known works include "The Wisdom of Insecurity," "The Book: On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are," and "The Way of Zen."
Alan Watts passed away in 1973, but his teachings continue to resonate with people today. His ability to distill complex philosophical concepts into accessible and relatable ideas has made him a beloved figure in the world of spirituality and philosophy.

[@burnesray777]

It's odd how some youtubers make images of Dr. Watts as a pseudo Asian looking dude. lol. He was 100% British, by the way. Anyway, his wisdom is timeless particularly when it comes to existential suffering. He embodies the lessening of that suffering. There is a dance between oneself (Or within oneself). The union of that 'battle' or dance is nirvana, the holy spirit, etc.

[@malabuha]

Yup, i agree with that assessment 💯

[@bdcavedweller]

I too have been frustrated with a number of visual AI type renditions of the man, looking recently so strange and false to demand, that someone says please stop your provoking the wrong brand, or fabricating falsehoods and hoping it grabs glam or some other superficial attention seeking van or carriage to capture the minds that less sand, through the glass or the hour by the time lessons hand, still in part we know sour and the flight as we land, we knew prior to the touchdown of both the Watt and the man, genuinely transcendent he still politely commands, for respect beyond time and thumbnails being hammed, detached yet attached we know the little things still jam, in the cistern of the system with more AI than real man.. consistently Alan sees and speaks that same things we see at exactly this time, feels like i've thought that the same thought for most of this mind :-) haha. cheers

If you were really tired of it you’d be done with it. But something is keeping you caught up in the drama. You’re getting something out of it, some ego trip. Whether it’s “oh poor me” or whatever it is, you’re feeding into the illusion somehow. I’m not saying this as a slight on you at all, I’m caught up too obviously, can’t escape it haha but that’s how it goes… until you’re really done.

3:00 was a realization I had in my room a long time ago when meditating on a psychedelic experience I had an image of a tree with infinite branches infinitely branching off and growing and it clicked for some reason 😂

[@T1GEVERETT]

I went for a walk and gazed at my city through tree branches. They looked as though they formed cracks in the reality I walked from on a non-literal level. It felt like it was showing me something but couldn’t tell. Later through taking more natural psychedelics, I went through dark tunnels. I was given the option which one I could go down. As I went, I could barely see through the walls as if it was a weak void to barely capture what the other tunnels wouldve shown me. Nothing. It gave me an understanding that life has doors of opportunity with windows to see what the others wouldve given, but not enough to know truly. It helped me in a way I can’t explain. To be more comical, Ill say I also love watching the flat objects around me wave like rollers in the ocean and that is always a fun time for me

This isn't Zen, this is personal experience based on lot of meditation and studing, because Zen don't speak, Zen is very individual experience which never speaks against anything, and does'nt speak about experiences at all. Real Zen Master who has highest achivement will laugh on such interpretations of Zen, or even never see or hear anything like that. This isn't critique, this is only personal opinion on my level of understanding, and mr. Watts isn't alive, so "De mortuis nil nisi bonum dicendum est".
