What really surprises me is that I only discovered Allan Watts, by accident, two years ago and I had genuinely never heard of him prior.

[@SignalFifty]

There are no accidents. There is no such thing as an effect less cause, or a causeless effect. When you are truly ready to learn, a teacher will appear.

[@SignalFifty]

Sometimes it's hard to believe he's been dead for 50 years. His work and belief in miracles seems to transcend death.

[@alchemybyangela]

And yet his teachings should be taught in *ALL* schools and homes growing up. P.S. There are no accidents. Only synchronicity. Much love and many blessings to you and to all! 🙏🥰🙏

[@hhtobee777]

Alan finds you when you’re ready. It’s never an accident but on time 😊

[@carmin1999]

2011 or so his name came up on youtube. Being born in San Rafeal Ca. And living 2000 miles east. Mt. Tamalpious was my backyard. I feel im in the Redwoods when he speaks. So strange. He was a Gobal blessing 😊

[@hareshjoshi09]

Alan starts at 3:48

[@joseramirez-rp1id]

Yes!!!! His lectures and words are the only thing keeping me sane and re-confirming we are in the matrix

[@Magicisreal66]

You're so lucky for having a dad like Alan Watts- if all human males had even half of the (divine masculine) that your dad had within him, this world wouldn't look like a human septic tank- I really wish so very much I could have attended at least one of his lectures- but I was born in 1966 in San Jose California- too young. I, as well as may others are sooooo great full to u, for putting together all of his works, and sharing with the rest of us 😊

[@Deairworld]

Divine masculine is a good phrase

[@cwilkinsonwck]

Well put. What a beautiful being.

@@shane2526 not sure if you wanted to make a point, but can you say that all in English?

[@JT-vt5kk]

Not sure Alan would agree w that…he pretty much confessed to being an absentee father

[@danpiller5156]

Thank you for putting these together! Forever grateful for these well put together podcasts of one of the greats in the Universe

[@4luv215]

Thank you for doing what you did with your fathers work. I was a waitress in the early 80s and I had two women customers who brought me a father’s work on Cassette! I loved his work so much. When KZbin came along, I found your father again. His work always has resonated with me and shaped the totality of my views today. Peace love and joy♥️💯🙏

[@Charliesolo10]

Thank you and everybody involved 🙏🏼

[@SavingAmerica]

Mark, This Is So Precious. It’s Wonderful that You are Continuing his Legacy. Been listening to his guide for almost 15 Years Now ❤ Thank You. Namaste ❤

[@WilliamCheung-h2c]

The Universe has a heart!, what a beautiful quote. Thank you for your effort and time in bring us this content. You and your Dad is just awesome. Thank you!

[@cwilkinsonwck]

Mr Mark , I've been studying and training for many years. Your father is and was Awesome, I'm sure you have heard this before, but ahead of his time is a misunderstanding, at least in his sharing wisdom , he knows what going on then and now. May you be blessed for sharing and we thank you greatly. I hope as many as possible watch and contemplate clearly. Thank you from my family to yours.

[@OthmanMalainine-pn8fu]

I love your Dad , you should be extremely proud , man man man , he is the father for all wisdom seekers

[@wonderousearth8225]

[@bkosimi]

Best philosophical entertainer whose works have potential to change the whole human civilization for the better! I can see it gaining more proliferation with coming of AI and super intelligence, extensions of human consciousness, just like Alan Watts predicted himself! :)

[@Magicisreal66]

Yep- spot on!

[@daodejing81]

Love that final point. So we'll put. All is one.

Thank you for this 🙏❤️🙏🕊

[@jamesdouglas5497]

Thank reality for Alan Watts!!

[@MrJohnDocHolliday]

Alan Watts, a British-American philosopher, writer, and speaker, often discussed the concept of being in the way of oneself. While I can't provide a specific quote from Alan Watts on this topic, I can offer an interpretation based on his teachings and ideas. Being in the way of oneself refers to the ways in which individuals hinder their own growth, happiness, and fulfillment by imposing limitations, holding onto negative beliefs or patterns, and resisting the natural flow of life. It suggests that our own thoughts, actions, and perceptions can create obstacles that prevent us from living authentically and experiencing the fullness of life. According to Watts, individuals often get caught up in self-created barriers such as rigid expectations, attachments to outcomes, fear of failure or judgment, and a constant need to control or manipulate their circumstances. These self-imposed limitations can restrict our potential and prevent us from fully embracing the present moment. Watts encourages individuals to let go of excessive self-consciousness, self-doubt, and the constant striving for external validation. He emphasizes the importance of surrendering to the inherent interconnectedness and spontaneity of life, allowing ourselves to flow with the rhythm of existence rather than resisting or trying to force outcomes. By being in the way of oneself, one inhibits personal growth, restricts possibilities, and creates unnecessary suffering. Watts invites individuals to cultivate a deeper understanding of themselves and their own patterns of thinking and behavior. Through self-awareness and self-acceptance, it becomes possible to release self-imposed limitations and align with the natural unfolding of life. Ultimately, being in the way of oneself is an invitation to let go of self-imposed obstacles, embrace the present moment, and live authentically with a sense of freedom and openness. It encourages individuals to explore their own beliefs, question their conditioned patterns, and discover a more harmonious way of being in the world.

[@davidharrison2099]

Beautifully stated. Thanks for that ❤

[@MrJohnDocHolliday]

your so welcome.... godspeed@@davidharrison2099

[@Sue-mi1vm]

Awesome. Thank you xxx

[@JaCapella]

I already have what he’s taking about. I am whole perfectly loved, perfectly validated and I am not afraid to die. I am in no hurry but utterly stoked about the Demi god that I will be. Higher than the angels

[@SignalFifty]

The truth never impresses me. But it gets my attention. Its single redeeming trait.

[@nicka731]

I’m posting for the algorithm and that this was dope ty 🙏

[@16bitPRNTZ]

Thanks Mark! Ironically I'm a Mark too 😹💪🏾 There's a reason I keep listening to Alan Watts he def lives in my mind at the round table.. Much love

[@bro7105]

Thank you so much for these. Do you know when part 2 of this lecture will be released?

[@schevalirae]

Thank you, Mark, for sharing these wonderful gems of your Dad speaking. This particular talk speaks loudly to me and is in line with my way of thinking concerning the beginnings of religious thought. Makes perfect sense, simply modeled on what happens with humans ruled by a king. I actually feel like why didn't I see that? It's just too simple and I want to complicate it or think that it is complicated? For some reason King Henry VIII comes to my mind, must be the first king I heard much about. He certainly acted like he was God. This may be my favorite of all Alan's talks I've heard thus far. I've been listening to him approaching five years. I love that this talk speaks directly to the fallacy of religion. I want to believe that more and more people are coming to grips with that truth. Thanks again, Mark.

[@justwallace]

Goodmorning everybody

[@MariaDelCarmen-zy2zf]

Everything is made of atoms and atoms vibrate . So everything in existence has consciousness or is consciousness.

[@thorgt8197]

What have you learned from your father? Do you find his philosophical thoughts on point? I find him enlightening and entertaining.

[@cjdingojames3715]

Well what else is there .. Go out of your mind to come to your senses

[@Dezzreck]

We’re getting out the trap with this one

[@-selby-]

I hope

[@Chris-yf2wo]

What does Alan mean with his last sentence “it’s all in hear” I don’t get it 30:39

[@JT-vt5kk]

"It's all in here": the entire universe is in you.

[@jahrasta4907]

Alan Watts saved my life after the insanity of Christianity almost killed my mind.

[@KoboldBoyX]

Christianity felt like it wanted to cling to me after I had played with AI once getting back into books, it gave me a fright like I was playing God and didn't know how with AI, maybe more playing Devil then in that sense?

[@SalemHill]

Out of the Trap….an oldie but a goodie

[@OoSwIItchyOo]

Skip to 3:50 for the beginning jeez

[@jonfrodsham4216]

I only recently came across Alan Watts. What a wonderful chap. So prescient to be minded to do these recordings. It's a pity is so late in our Worlds destiny of mass extinctions in this cycle.

[@berthacheese8924]
