It Will Give You Goosebumps - Alan Watts On Death and Reincarnation

A fascinating and profound speech by Alan Watts on Death and Reincarnation. Original Audio sourced from: Alan Watts: Essential Lectures, Program 8 - Death
►“When death comes, it's just like winter. We don't say, "There ought not to be winter." That the winter season, when the leaves fall and the snow comes, is some kind of defeat, something which we should hold out against. No. Winter is part of the natural course of events. No winter, no summer. No cold, no heat. "
- Alan Watts. (1915 - 1973)

“I am what happens between the maternity ward and the Crematorium” ― Alan Watts

[@TouchnotDAnointingof136DZion]

Greetings. You're entitled to you opinion. However, I greatly disagree with you and the man in this video. There's a remnant (Elect) amongst you here. In whom many call Earth Angels. They were sent from the 1st Estate (Celestial Kingdom) here in the 2 nd Estate of Eternal Souls (Earthly Kingdom) in order to help humanity lift their vibrations from the bottom of Jacob's Ladder (The Lowest Power Center/Root Chakra/Thinking with the Lower Head/Lower Nature) within humans. We as Christ and the saints of old... Many a few return back to The Righteous Divine Royal Heavenly Parents (Jersusalem above whom is The Mother of all creation). This Earthly Kingdom is a School of Life. Many have been Reincarnating over and over again. Denied entry into the Kingdom of Heaven (Jerusalem) above. Due to the Conspiracy, Deception, Greed, Unfaithfulness, Lust and Treachery of the Banished Sons of God (Fallen Angels). Whom are experiencing Reincarnation through their children's children. They're the undead. The flesh dies. However, the Eternal Souls transfers after receiving Judgement when the materialized vessel the soul inhabited transpires. They are rejacked back into another Females Matrix (Womb/Portal). According to the Judgements given due to their pass life offences many males womanizing harlots experience Reincarnation as women. Many whom abused and hunting animals for game and sport: Experience a life time in the Animal or Mammal (Water Kingdom) as that which they preyed upon. In order to teach lessons of Reverencing and Honoring all of creation in the Circle of Life. I certainly hope this insight has aided you in balancing out the truth from the Sons of Belial (Baal/Beelzebub) and their many fairy tails of half truths. I'll stop there. Moving forward.... Hoping you all continue on the journey of taking the time to "Spiritually" feed the innocent pure hearted child of your Eternal Soul. That's living within your materiized vessel. I've other rounds to make. I hope these seeds of living life fall upon good ground. Being rooted and planted in the women that will actually repent turn around from the path that man have led them on. In order to return back to your Heavenly parents obeying the Rules and Regulations (Exodus 20 Laws of Morality, Decency, Respect, Order, Justice and Equality for All) apply them to your life in order to receive everlasting life. Coming to a close.... She says the kingdom of God suffered violently. However, the violent take it back by force. I have all my more to life suffered violently. Up to now I suffer violently from the sons of Baal Patriarchy (Manosphere). In order to deliver these messages of the Kingdom of Heaven to you. Do not let my suffering go in vain. Take what is written here screenshot it. Even if you do not understand it now. There is how many time very soon your mind will revert back to this wisdom knowledge and Inner-standing. You'll wish you had it. Go and share this with other women. Each one saves one. However, women like their male handlers and Gatekeepers (sons of Baal) do not want to be saved and experience Ascension graduation returning back to the Heavenly Kingdom above. Whether Jerusalem above is free. She is no fun slave to know man. Nor his diver lust. She is the mother of all creation. Freely ruling above in the Heavenly Kingdom over the 12 so let's start tribes. Like the women here in the earth. Which are enslaved with their children. Bowing down to males that have committed all manners of evil against them and their little girl virgins as well as the little boys. I will end with first, "An Apology in advance for any typos." My device is running slow. Seems to happen only when I'm sharing the truth online. It was a pleasure serving you all today and reading comments from your own individual perspectives. This humble Daughter of Zion loves your Eternal Immortal Souls. I pray that none of you shall perish. Due to lack of Righteous Godly Counsel, Wisdom, Knowledge and Inner-standing of The Holy Spirit of Christ Consciousness. Which lives within the "Righteous Divine Feminine Royal Heavenly Mother and Righteous Divine Masculine Royal Heavenly Father above in their 1st Estate within The Celestial Kingdom. Where they rule as our Heavenly Parents. You're my Sister's and Brethren. I've cried out in much Effectual Fervent (Boiling Point) prayers. That you'll awaken to this Divine knowledge, Wisdom and Innerstanding of The Christ Conscious Holy Spirit that dwells within The Heavenly Mother. From: Your Sister in the Celestial Kingdom of our Righteous Divine Royal Heavenly Parents, Great Royal Council of Elders. The Saints that Experienced Ascension (Graduation) from The their many courses of life Lessons in this Earthly Kingdom (2nd Estate of Eternal Angelic Souls in Materialized Vessel of Flesh). This Daughter of Zion (Heaven) refuse to give up on you. There's no pit to deep that The Most High Heavenly Parents Loving instructions, warming, wisdom and counsel can't reach.... The Righteous Divine Spirit of The Royal Heavenly Parents is deeper. Christ the Messiah descended to the depths of hell for 3 days to reach those whom were lost and deceived when they lived in the world. Know that you're loved by The Righteous Divine Royal Heavenly Parents whom created you and gave you free will. Even if you chose not to willingly, Faithfully, Honor, Reverence and Obey their instructions written in the scriptures. Serving you today is: LDS (Latter Day Saint). Also, the initials of my G.N. Known in and out of ministry as Precious and Hadassah. Childhood name TT (THIRD TESTAMENT) by my Earthly Parents, Relative's and Childhood associates. "Come"....follow me as I follow in the path of The Messiah. Which is Christ Consciousness of The Holy Spirit (Also called Ruach Ha'Kodesh which is Feminine Holy Spirit in Hebrew/Righteous Divine Feminine Royal Heavenly Mother of Christ consciousness/Motherly Wisdom of Proverbs 8).

Seeing those children running to the Christmas tree reminded me of the feelings of joy and amazement that i had as a child when experiencing new things. I am old now and try to rekindle those feelings now as much as I can by trying new things and visiting new places. It is not the same, but sometimes I see the child peering out from my eyes.

[@StillYHWHs]

I fully understand what you are saying.

[@PhillipLWilcher]

I lost my father - he died in my arms at 99 years of age - on August 20th last year. I had been his full-time carer for 12 years. He had dementia. Throughout the greater part of our life together, we rarely got on with one another, but as his carer we became the very best of friends. I like to thin that we were living proof that Love - real Love - works. The last four days of his Life I recounted as his eulogy. I'd like to share it here with you if I may: His voice is veiled as he asks me to help him to stand up, he wants to go home. "Help me stand up" he says, "I want to go home. My mother will be wondering where I am!" Even if I could help him to stand up, he is so physically weak and depleted now, that I think we both would fall. Late yesterday afternoon, when I was about to leave him for the day, I asked him if he minded that I should go, assuring him as I do every day that I will see him again in the morning. "If I am here ..." he replies. "Where else would you be?" I ask him. "In Heaven!" How his broken voice it breaks me and so, I arrange with hospital staff for me to stay with him the night. Several hours earlier he had told me that there were people gathering about us in his room. Looking to either side of me, firstly over my left shoulder and then to my right, they who were there not for me but only him were dressed in white. "Do you recognize any of them?" I ask him. He raises a boney finger and replies: "Just one!" I ask him who the person is that he recognises and he tells me that it is himself. "What age are you?" I ask him. "I am 15!" At the time of writing this, I have been by his side a full thirty-four and a half hours. Inasmuch does his mind meander, I am never not so knowing of what he means. "Lift me up, I want to go home!" he says over and over: "I want to go home!" Holding his hand, I tell him that although I cannot lift him up physically, I can at least lift him up toward Spirit, and I place my other hand at where his heart is and say to him: "Home is where your heart is! If you live within the home that is your heart, you will always have Love; you will always know Love: God's Love!" "I want to go home!" Massaging his chest gently in a clockwise rotation, because the motion of Life is always forward even after Death, yet without actually lifting my hand from his ever weakening heart, I lean forward and whisper into his ear that he can go. "Go home! You do not have to stay, just know that I love you!" "And I love you!" He is even weaker now but not yet gone, and I do not think that I have ever known of a moment so innocent as this, the lingering of a Life as do the Guardians of Love they prepare His way. His doctor visits with me. She is concerned for me that I have stayed the night, telling me I need to look after myself. Squeezing his hand a little tighter in mine I look at her and say: "I Am" Another day passes during whose time he is bathed twice in his bed, first in the morning and then again at night: Bed Bath Lite. The ritual of cleansing a rite of passage now, water, glycerin, gels and fragrant oils, they do not soil the sheets but soothe his skin, tissue-paper thin. He breathes in and breathes out ever more purposefully on the exhale, and I copy the sequence of sighs sorrowfully, that none too cold each pant becomes, nothing so irregular, not just yet. I would bet myself he would live another year but for my fear the end is near we both do know it, and I think to myself how stealthily the dusk does creep before the breaking of each new dawn a waking day, how we live to die and die to live reborn. With his cheek resting softly upon the pillow I lay my head at his side. He places his hand on my head and touches my hair. and I want more than anything for him to keep it there. As his breathing becomes more shallow I chant: "Everything I am is of you; all my love is yours!" "Everything I am is of you; all my love is yours!" but then to add: "If you take my heart with you when you go, my love will be with you and forever more, because of the love I give to you are you a part, two soles, one heart!" I dim the light to dull the play of shadows upon his features that I see only myself in him now. And then, at the eleventh hour of my stay this day he takes his last breath and quietly slips away, into the silent land where there is only Love and Time it has no borders, bound not by night neither lit by day, only Love! Love has sped him away! (Leslie James Wilcher 16.01.1923 - 20.08.2022)

Reincarnation is a lie of the devil! Don't be deceived by demonic visions! Hebrews 9:27 states: And just as it is appointed for man to die once after that comes judgement. Born again Christians will go to be with the LORD in paradise, unsaved people go to hell until the White Throne Judgement, afterwards they'll be thrown into the Lake of Fire. Please accept JESUS CHRIST as your Lord and Savior while there is still time! HE paid for your sins on the cross and came back to life on the 3rd day!!! Thank HIM for this while there is still time. Read the Bible, listen to great evangelists like Dr. John Ankerberg.

Keep being you, don't change for any other reason that you feel betters you, because it's one part of who you are and your existence. It's a part of the overall collection of every experience you ever have or ever will have. Have a lovely life because youre gonna experience an infinite amount of others that are no more or less important than who you are now. You're part of something greater than you see and the joint mist vital part of its existence.

[@Frazer231]

Ive thought about this too,when I die time does not appear to pass , ill wake up instantly ,as the same baby and many similar babies with the same arrangment of the same atoms , if time and space exist and go on as an infinite cycle.Comforting, and it feels good ,comforting to know many variations of this life may be possible ,hopefully kind versions full of love ,as Alan Watts says" with no idea of the other lifes existance",also good that our loved ones may do the same.I find these toughts a bit overwhelming though. and they feel a bit harsh and clinical ,I hope there is a universal kindness involved controlling infinity, letting us drift in a love cycle of gentle rebirth and wonder full of kindnes

[@princeoffine]

Idk how people find this comforting. Let's suppose you want to become the best artist. You work every day, practicing singing, dancing and writing songs. And after years of practicing, you become known as Michael Jackson (just for the example). You think "I did this, I spent years doing this, there's no one like me". Then, years later you die and you realize you were never Michael Jackson, you were just an avatar, you were in his body, probably in his mind but that wasn't you. You were just playing his part. That's why I like the idea of having only one life - that way you know for sure that you're you and you what you've achieved was done by you, you weren't just a spectator. For the loved ones thing, for example parents, they are not your parents, think about it. If we reincarnate again and again, then the people that you call parents are also someone else's parents, who knows they might be my parents. So love in that sense doesn't make sense. I love my parents just how they're right now, not in they're other forms or lives. It's all fake. The people that we love are just souls trapped in an avatar, that we will forget, they never actually existed cause they're always changing into someone else, how is that comforting?

The forgetting when born, or shortly thereafter, puts the adventure in life. You wouldn’t want it any other way. How much would you learn if you remembered all of your former lives when you were born, learning would be stifled.

[@BarryMerson-zr1sv]

When I was a child and my mother was a young woman she was the adult who took care of me. When she became "old" I was the parent and she was the child.

What I learned is that it is possible that we were born and gone many times

[@dominicsmith7793]

In the grand dance of the cosmos, birth and death are simply two sides of the same coin. Just as we don't know where we came from before we were born, we don't know where we go after death. The universe is a vast, complex web of existence, and we're part of that web, both in life and in death. What's most important is not to fear the unknown, but to embrace the mystery and wonder of the universe, and to live our lives fully and authentically in the present moment.

Something if I wake up, I think abaut. Was that just a dream, or im dreaming in this moment, just I didn't remember, like I was going to sleep at last time. It's maddening.

[@elevans5758]

Yes, sometimes dreams seem to be more real than reality. One can not be blamed for preferring the dream to reality (What ever that is for us). Especially the last few years reality feeled like a never ending nightmare.

I like the belief that there are many dimensions. And that when you die, you die in this dimension, this existence. But your existence never stops, and you just move on to the next. Maybe not even human im not sure.

[@Samiyisuff]

I'm not Afraid of death but I'm afraid that I'll never be able to meet people I know, my parents my siblings this terrifies me 😭

[@lukaculajevic8404]

It is true, but sometimes hard to admit and accept.

This is what my Mom told me also.

[@ronnie4639]

Maybe, but we won't know for sure until this life comes to a end.

WOW!

[@StillYHWHs]

I know for a fact we are spirit and live after we die. We leave our bodies. There is no need to breathe. Speaking is in the form of telepathic/ mind/ thought. It's the best I can describe it. We do not have a body. I could see myself. Also, the room. It was only for a few minutes. Then I came back into my body. I think I died. I also had a shutterbug a few days before. I'm not sure why this happened. No drugs and not crazy. Only time it ever happened.

[@uf1978]

Just his opinion. I believe the soul goes on somewhere and lives forever and we are not reincarnated. No one really knows for sure what happens.

Alan Watts was once a Priest. After studying all religions he came to the conclusion that he was preaching an egoistic story to a bunch of egos. That was the moment he woke up. There is only an eternal now.

[@devonbennett4209]

It’s a lot deeper than an opinion. You can gain direct insights into death via introspection. What part of you is the soul actually? Dive into that question long enough and you’ll realize there is no difference between literal reincarnation onto earth or entering some other kind of eternal dimension.

[@veraintuizione6497]

@@questionmark8046Yes only the Eternal NOW, SO death doesn't exist.

[@alys26574]

Even all the stars and planets in the universe has their death…

[@albertafarmer8638]

Reincarnation is a lie of the devil! Don't be deceived by demonic visions! Hebrews 9:27 states: And just as it is appointed for man to die once after that comes judgement. Born again Christians will go to be with the LORD in paradise, unsaved people go to hell until the White Throne Judgement, afterwards they'll be thrown into the Lake of Fire. Please accept JESUS CHRIST as your Lord and Savior while there is still time! HE paid for your sins on the cross and came back to life on the 3rd day!!! Thank HIM for this while there is still time. Read the Bible, listen to great evangelists like Dr. John Ankerberg.

The scary thing is if you come to be nothing you won't know and since it's impossible to expensive nothing that's what makes a pacing scary even in religious people

What is it about this thing we call life that is somehow better than what I had before it?

Consciousness

[@questionmark8046]

@@woou0532 what is de reasoning behind your comment? The funny thing is that you have this idea of non-existence in your current life with your current self. However with reincarnation you have a completely new life with a new self not remembering anything. You will be another person. So your ideas and thoughts right know are illusionary, and so are mine.

[@thesage90]

@@woou0532 maybe that's why we don't remember anything

Nothing is more creative than death, since it is the whole secret of life. It means that the past must be abandoned, that the unknown cannot be avoided, that “I” cannot continue, and that nothing can be ultimately fixed. When a man knows this, he lives for the first time in his life. By holding his breath, he loses it. By letting go he finds it. ~Alan Watts
