Alan Watts - We As Organism

[@danieltrainor1261]

[@louisj2256]

Some of what he says is a bit silly - for example, reality is not composed of parts and we only think there are parts because we cut it up into parts. This is not true. Take the human body, for example - everyone has bones that are about the same shape, that slide against one another in about the same way, and the same organs arranged in the same places. We have even gotten so advanced that we can sometimes transplant these parts from one person to another, but if it is not done correctly, it does not work. Even at the atomic and subatomic levels, reality seems to be composed of the same 'parts', like atoms which have the same number of protons in the centre and the corresponding number of electrons in their electron shells to result in a unit of the same element.

[@OrangeUaLemon]

@@louisj2256you misunderstand what he meant by that is the problem. It went over your head, I don’t mean to be rude in saying that but the point is none of those “parts” exist by themselves but as if they were assembled. The point is it’s not parts assembled but one undivided whole that has distinct characteristics that make up that whole that we then can piece into parts for whatever reason we deem necessary.

My first encounter with the wisdom was probably about 50 years ago, he had written an article in playboy magazine called the world’s most dangerous book . It was about the Bible, and it had a great influence in my life. Nobody else quite like Alan Watts one of greatest philosophers of our time!

[@chemical93girl]

Now I’m out of the worst of it, I can say that five years ago Alan Watts saved my life. I was very suicidal, constantly high, terrified to leave my house. I found his voice on KZbin and for the first time, something made sense. So I got sober, I engaged with Buddhism, I became alive again. Life is wonderful. I became more than my body in that moment. Ask for help, and the universe reaches out to you. Life is better than I ever could have imagined.

Alan Watts very cleverly picks up where Nietzsche left off, showing the West a potential path forward that N himself could not find to even his own satisfaction. Watts draws from Eastern philosophy to help fill in the holes in Western angst, and he does it in a very charismatic, entertaining, and non-preachy way. There's no sales pitch, no sky-high promises of self-improvement, just an outstretched hand offering to show us alternatives to how we were raised to think.

​@@commie281This reminds me of a quote I heard, not from Alan Watts but Ram Dass, about his response he often gives when he's asked 'how do we share our excitement and passion about these teachings with others?' and he says, "all you can do is become an environment, so when another person is ready they can come up for air." I sorta take on this philosophy when it comes to Alan Watts. I find that people listen better and have more insight when certain ideas come up naturally in conversation. And if people already know I enjoy listening to Alan Watts, they tend to come to me when they have questions in that domain and I do my best to help them find some ground so they can do their own introspection if they're willing.

Seeing him just a few hours before he passed. Knowing this would be the last time I spoke to him, I told him how much I loved him and what he meant to me and that I would keep his memory alive and tell my kids about him. I felt in that moment I made him realize he was dying that’s what I seen in his eyes and I feel terrible about that. Fear of death and search for reason of life has led me to find Alan Watts. His talks have helped but I still can not come to the grips with death I still feel stuck, trapped like I can’t get out.

I lost my grandmother 2 years ago - her passing is always with me. She was the only real light in my life (her positivity and wit was second to none; she had no malice outside of her failing brain). I really struggled with her memorial - it was a big bible-bashing session, but in that moment I felt and knew she was with me, she gave me peace in her passing and she made me realise that she can always be with me. I find myself saying out loud, "I miss you granny. Thank you for the light in all the dark." Death isn't the end, it's just the end of the physical self and death of others cannot be about you, it has to be your realisation they gave you what you needed in life and tools to grow, it is just the end of their suffering (that is all). She's one of very few people in my life that loved me as I was made and never criticised me. I hope you find healing and realisation that there is never an end, there are only new beginnings 💚

I, the speaker, have recently given my attention multiple times to Alan's educational talks on the internet video platform, KZbin. These talks, despite being experienced repeatedly, continue to hold my interest and never seem outdated. However, this particular talk stands out as likely the best in combining his ideas into a coherent whole, in a manner understandable to those without specialized knowledge. It's an ideal speech for presenting Alan Watts' study of fundamental nature of reality to people hearing it for the first time. His ability to affect the inner, immortal part of humans in a unique way is remarkable. So articulately and fluently, he manages to make complex concepts simpler and clearer, illuminating the true nature of existence. It's genuinely astonishing. His existence as an individual will perpetually continue through these audio captures. I deeply desire that a larger number of people would experience his verbal message.

I think you both misunderstood what he is getting at. He is saying it's pointless to be mad about it. Parents are going through life for the only time, too. No matter how many books, experts, or wisdom exists about parenting, you only learn about parenting by actually being one. They didn't sit down and choose for "you" to be born. They didn't ask to be born any more than you did. They couldn't predict what their or your life would be like. It's amazing how many young people are mad because their parents weren't perfect when they have birth to them. You will never be perfect and neither will they.

every alan watts lecture feels like reading an old very beloved book that was forgotten over time, but then rediscovered. a most satisfying momentary release from the cruel reality of physicality. the release from the material is the highest of freedoms.

The Great Journey of Life doesn’t happen to someone. It’s happens for us, & because of us.

[@henryross3788]

I've been listening to Alan Watts for years but this talk. Wow. Blew my mind. The ending is beautiful, how he figured these truths out is beautiful. This is the cure to how we were taught to think.

[@aniokay]

This is bringing me back home to myself. Thank you Alan Watts, the music composer and the ones who put this video together.

[@BillSmith1900]

I listened to this many times. It is remarkable how I pick up new points of understanding. Like when he talks about vibration being constant. It made me think of how a heart beat is a beautiful metaphor for it.

[@PrimeNPC]

Alan Watts lectures are the only ones that I've listened to more than one time. Some I have listened to many times. One of the best excerpts / videos on KZbin is called Sudden Enlightenment

[@BillSmith1900]

​@@PrimeNPCI really like that. I wish I knew of Alan Watts sooner. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@cnjogu1]

Got emotional listening to this.... splendidly beautiful ❤️

[@ryanmiranda3695]

This should be taught in schools before college level. He's not a boring talker. Those who seek shall find. It's not for everyone but would touch the right kids. Wish I listened to him before I was lost to addiction.

Alan Watts is a great big wind bag... Each word blows through my mind clearsing out what is not useful and leaves what is useful.

[@maricamicallef9545]

And he knew this 50 years ago? How amazing ❤️

[@deanthegod5649]

Oh how much you probably didnt know the amount you would help humans in the future may you rest on peace alan i thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤

[@valorierobinson5985]

😁As one of the immediate baby boomers after ww2 to drop in after the two big mushroom clouds blew up wandering the chaotic San Francisco Bay Area of his day I can finally grock what this guy was saying! What a treat! Kind of summarizes all the stuff we HU wo/mans have have Ben coming up with in the last 50 Plus years! Who says we are not eternal!?💝 Thanks Allen and Pals

[@bkosimi]

One of his best lectures ❤ amazingly eye-opening and empowering message delivered masterfully!

[@sheeplessingeorgianm9977]

That’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard

[@Tidda86]

Despite the number of years that has passed since Alan’s death he is still so relevant in today’s world. RIP Alan I hope you can see the legacy that you have left for this world

[@TheEvelynTurner]

I am so grateful for Alan Watts. What a beautiful mind. Thank you for making this available to listen to. So Amazing. I particularly loved 19 minutes in ❤.

[@kylerasmussen1455]

Beeniste reading and listening to Watts for about 15 years and I'm always amazed to find a new recording like this one. ❤❤❤ ❤❤

[@mrblakwolf1]

Dude saved my life. That I am. I lost my son 14 years ago. Due to a bad day and self termination. I am happy for chest pains on a ladder. Only hope.

[@johnmurphy7593]

Very sorry for the loss of your son. That must be very tough. i hope things are going well for you overall and hope the best. Stay strong!

[@HoldemHustle]

Love to you and your family

[@DeusVu]

Alan was a wonderful human being with an unprecedented and profound understanding of the nature of reality. Although I never met the man, I consider him to be the greatest of friends, he has helped me to understand what I came here for. He has illustrated the most challenging concepts in a marvellously simple, erudite and intuitive way.

[@MotivationalAngel777]

I love this, thank you so much this gives me some temporarily peace within. Keep posting and sharing. You doing something good and great and uplifting, we need deep uplifting like this, atleast it is for me because I actually wanna listen trough and feel and think and look within and also at the things wich are spoken about here and actually think and reflect. Blessings to you and the good side of the universe is hopefully with you, wish you the best and keep doing whats right and truthful to you. Take good care wich I believe you do 🙂✌🏽☀️🕊️ 777🎉

[@AlanWattsOrg]

Thank you! Blessings to you as well ✨

[@johnmcleod8961]

I'm 65 yo...I remember reading a lot of AW many years ago...his thoughts facilitated how differently I see the world and life...all for the better...now, you can hear him with his reassuring voice...he let's you know it all is and going to be alright...his wisdom is timeless...this is teaching I never received being born, raised, and having lived all my life in southeast Christian fundamentalist Mississippi...I just always felt something wasn't quite right with "fundie" christianity...just didn't resonate with me...there's so much alienation among them...hypocrisy, self-righteousness, condescension...and in many cases, downright hatred...now, I truly believe I "see" what Jesus himself "saw"..."blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God".

[@NICKELL5]

I find it fascinating, how, even when somebody’s trying to tell you something that resonates with every human being some will still have a negative response to it lashing out, I pity these people, because they refuse to think they stick to their biases and opinions, without a willingness to change. I feel bad for those who carry these negative emotions, constantly

[@chandlerfreeman3899]

I remember being 11 years old, becoming self aware through unfocusing and refocusing my eyes and telling myself, I'm here but I'm not here. After that, I spent my teenage years wanting to find an understanding of reality for what it is and why it is. I longed for an answer of truth that made sense, even experiencing denial and hopelessness along the way due to an awareness of the darkness that has been influencing the world for so long. My soul craved and still does crave achieving a full and truthful understanding of the existence and purpose of life and the purpose for our experiences in it. Slowly but surely, the light love has always given me a portion of what I seek but somehow knows when I am ready to recieve it? I'm am humbly grateful and willing to allow this love light to guide me the rest of the way home, although I could already be there. Who knows, right!? Anyways, I don't know where this was going. I'm just grateful, and if you read this, don't let society make you feel that the expression of love should be embarrassing or make you weak. That is the opposite working against you're true nature and winning. You must fall before you can rise, to be humble is to be strong. Carry on!

I have listing to Allen Watts for the last few years. This is a wonderful talk. Top 10 perhaps. Thank you!

[@itsdweezy]

I really wish I could live out these thoughts instead of just thinking them. I feel stuck in an endless loop of disappointing everyone around me.

[@Namurez]

Disappointment is just as brief as gaining one's approval for an action ... it's just purely moving on from the action of being judged and your need of the action being reviewed...in short it is in the past and moving on is growth. Find the fertilization (sports, hobbies, doing for others, etc.) To keep growing and those loops will become the endless process of growth in which is the best game to play...your game.👊🏾

[@Namurez]

Just wanted to help.

[@skyehannah8388]

Hey friend… try giving Gabor Mate a listen on KZbin. I think like you often too, and he’s helped me understand that it’s rooted in childhood trauma experiences. You’re not alone ❤❤❤

[@LisaCulton]

Remove yourself from around the people who feel disappointed.

[@SandraHeron-r2g]

Pure intelligence. So succinct. Such beautiful clarity. The best ever lecture I have heard from Alan Watts.

[@The_Eternal_Now]

I have a good collection of lectures on my Watts playlist. If you listen to "You do not exist," I'm willing to bet it will top this one as your favorite. 🖤🤍

[@robmiles3845]

May you find peace within and without.
