[@howardrobinson4938]

Of course you love his voice. Alan loved to think and talk. So naturally, you love his voice. His voice is simply one aspect of his actually living his philosophy. It is his authentic expression. Find yours.

I've looked into Hinduism and Buddhism, my take on their view as far as their main topic was on inner peace and harmony within the chaos of the world and how to get there. Hinduism has the Kundalini, which to my understanding requires for you to refrain during the act to fully experience the moment of union.

[@GaslitFree]

Kundalini can happen without sexual contact

In the words of John Waters;" Thank god I was born Catholic that way sex will always be dirty!"

[@Dolan8350]

Yes yes yes!!!

[@גקליןיפה]

As Molly bloom said❤❤❤

[@GuillermoValleCosmos]

but isnt the problem with this that if one lets go too much to the present, one may do too risky stuff, like get addicted to opioids or something?

[@Whatisright]

Balance. And to get and keep balance you need control.

[@TylerK-vy8dm]

What you express here is the fear that holds most of us back… what I have found is that it liberates one from chasing quick fixes through bad decisions

4:46 Why sex is the top of pleasure. This is not only for Christianity.

[@funtimes-g8l]

The bible doesn't say sex within the marriage arrangement is wrong or bad at all. Any scholarly writing outside of the bible on sex is merely an opinion but if you believe the bible is of value or God backed than sex within the marriage arrangement is perfectly acceptable.

[@mardishores4016]

The bible is FICTION!

[@roopinimynampati2499]

Not in today's bible. He said in old bible it was always wrong. But in marriage they are ok with it, but mostly preached to avoid it.

[@BrianForTheWin]

Paul clearly states that for Christians, procreative marriage is an inferior and unpreferred option to celibacy. He recommends it not as a good in itself but only as a remedy for lust.

This guy believed that we're all one all are God What a sad way to believe If true that would imply your alone

[@Ghost_on_the_beach]

So if you would be alone, wouldn't you tried to make a some sort of friend? Like from old ball with smile face on it? To be a god could be not so cool as we see it...

[@happierabroad]

It's not just Western culture that's hung up on sex. Chinese and Japanese and Taiwanese culture are too. For sure. But Alan Watts tried to make all Eastern cultures sound good and free of flaws. Too biased and one sided.

[@KRISTIBENNETT-999]

I feel like things have certainly changed in all cultures since Alan was alive and was giving these talks...

[@nirhacham7658]

But he doesn't speak on eastern culters here.

[@RenfromBespin]

[@ambiguousparadox]

He mentions exactly this issue five minutes in tho ...

[@tristenbonacci3733]

But I wonder if Eastern culture was at first impressed upon by Western Puritanism?
