It Will Give You Goosebumps - Alan Watts On The Eternal Now

[@zacharylowe5851]

I'm blessed I was able to buy land and follow an old dream of mountain living. Finally being able to come to peace with my life. After losing my child in a horrible accident i didnt think i could be happy ever again. I was suicidal,beyond depressed,and drinking my face off trying to not wake up anymore. Now 11 years later I started another life and I'm raising my kids with my wife on a 40 acre ranch in arizona and no I'm not rich in money but rich in life. The land was 19k I got a hell of a deal. I'm able to move on from my previous life. I miss my little girl every day but I know one day my soul will be at peace when my time is done. You have to move on and you have to keep going. I knew if I stayed strong I would have a family again. I was given the williness to live again. It's a wonderful feeling to wake up everymorning and watch the sun come over the horizon. I struggle still with flash backs of her tragic and horrific death. But I'm still pushing everyday to give my daughters and the one on the way a fighting chance in this very scary world. I was 20 years old when she died I turned 21 two days after I said my last goodbye to her. Life hasn't been easy but its worth it to stick around. I wish everyone the best with your struggles in life keep your head up high.

I don't believe most people understand how important this 9 minute video truly is. He breaks down the whole path to enlightenment, including the end game few come to of realization that you(ego) can never attain unattached selflessness, because you have a selfish reason for doing it, which leads to the ego truly having to die, for you to progress any further. I'm amazed that most people never realize that in both eastern and western religions, for salvation(enlightenment)(getting off the wheel), you have to die to self and be born again. We to often argue about petty differences, that are usually born out of scrawny language, instead of accepting similarities that are right in front of us. This is also ego driven, on both side, due to the desire to be right. In the end I think we are all here to remember and appreciate that it all boils down to love and the tributaries that flow from it, which I believe the 2 main ones being forgiveness and non-judgment and those should be applied to ourselves as well as to everyone else. The answer to the messed up place we're at now is that simple but I'm afraid we are to far gone to ever obtain it. But if each of us can try to individually, then the world becomes a little better, a little at a time....and that's a win. Just my opinion.

Your soul is the essence of who you truly are. It's timeless, ageless, and eternal.

[@jesusisking3814]

Yes, your soul is eternal and if you die tonight, do you know where you're going/transfering? Did you know that Jesus Christ is THE Truth, the life and the only way to Heaven? Revelation 20:15 ''Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.'' Through Jesus Christ, God offers you a FREE gift - forgiveness. All you need to do is repent, turn away from your sins and evil ways, from now on put your faith completely in Jesus Christ and be obedient to Him. Biblical explanation of the Gospel: God doesn’t want anybody in hell, but you must understand why we deserve hell and why those who refuse to live under His authority will go there. He gave us the law (Ten Commandments) not to make us righteous, but rather to show us our sin (Romans 3:20). God gave us free will and since Adam sinned in the garden, sin is the nature of our flesh and we ALL have sinned. (Romans 3:23) The law demands death to those who sin (Romans 6:23). Since we have all sinned, we all deserve hell. Revelation 21:8 says that all liars will go to hell. Yes, even if you have lied once in your life, you are sentenced to hell - that's how high God's standards are of moral perfection because God is holy and righteous, there is not one sin in Him. For someone to be justified before holy God they have to be sinless, that's why everyone need Jesus Christ - for He lived a sinless life, died on the cross and rose from the dead on the third day. None of us are good in God’s eyes, because for God good means moral perfection. We all have broken God’s commandments, we all have sinned in our lives so none of us are good. ‘’For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.’’ (James 2:10). Our carnal mind is hostile to God; it does not submit to God's moral law and it never will (Romans 8:7). We hate the thought of God for the same reason a criminal hates a policeman - we know we have sinned against God and are guilty of it and we don't want to be damned. No good works will ever save you. You can't earn salvation by good works, because God will judge us for our sin. Good News is that Jesus Christ lived a perfect, holy, sinless life and He died for our sins according to the Scriptures, He was buried and He was raised from the dead on the third day according to the Scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:3-4) For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.’’ (John 3:16) We aren’t saved by our good works, but only by the grace of God through faith in Christ. ''For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9) Jesus said ‘’it is finished’’ (John 19:30) just before He died on the cross, which means He paid the fine for our sins (past, present, future) to be forgiven only IF we repent and trust in Him. This is how you can get saved from sin and hell - repent of your sins and trust in Jesus Christ. Get to know Him by reading God's Word. So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him.” (Luke 11:13) ''What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not!'' (Romans 6:15) ''Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out'' (Acts 3:19) Repentance is a turning away from sin and all evil works, and it always results in changed behavior (Luke 3:8). Biblically, a person who repents does not continue willfully in sin. While sorrow from sin is not equivalent to repentance, it is certainly an element of scriptural repentance (2 Corinthians 7:10). Do not play a hypocrite. ''God is light; in Him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth.'' (1 John 1:5-6) (John 3:3) Jesus replied, "Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again." If you have repented and have genuine faith in Jesus Christ then you will receive the gift of Holy Spirit and be born-again spiritually. When you believed, you were marked in Him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession - to the praise of His glory. (Ephesians 1:13-14) Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. (John 3:36) ''You will know them by their fruits'' (Matthew 7) If you have been truly born-again with the Holy Spirit and He has regenerated your heart, you will desire righteousnes - to do what is good and righteous in God's eyes, to seek God everyday in His Word and prayer, to strengthen your relationship with God. You will no longer desire to willfully continue living in sin but will want to obey God out of your love for Him because of His amazing grace revealed to us through the death and resurrection of His Son. ''Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.'' (2 Corinthians 5:17) ''For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.'' (Eph 2:10) You will have a testimony - of what your life had been before and how has it changed now when you have surrendered it to Lord Jesus Christ. As a declaration and affirmation of your faith in Jesus Christ, get baptised in water because He commanded us to do so. In John 3:5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.'' ''Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit'' (Matthew 28:19) ''Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.'' (Acts 2:41) ''And this water symbolizes the baptism that now saves you also - not the removal of dirt from the body, but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God - through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,'' (1 Peter 3:21) ''We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.'' (Romans 6:4) ''Having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through your faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.'' (Colossians 2:12) Please get right with God and get to know Jesus Christ personally today before it’s too late, because there’s not much time left! "But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.’’ (Mark 13:32) Get to know Christ through God's Word - Bible. At first I recommend reading Gospel of John and book of Romans. God bless you! Jeremiah 29:13 - ''You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.''

@@kitdatkat My old posts keep mysteriously vanishing, my chat session keep getting cut out. READ THIS OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN if you don't get it at first. Believing in and seeing evidence of intelligent life beyond this apparent world is something most people genuinely hope for deep down. The full implications of even a single sighting being genuinely real is almost to good to be true, it confirms everything I've wished for my whole life, and many others. The reality we are in here and now isn't real in the way we think it is. It's real because we believe it's real and all there is, but there is a shocking bigger picture. Peoples heads might literally explode if they suddenly could comprehend what this bigger picture is, it is that shocking. I could never fully believe in an optimistic worldview like this with all the apparent suffering in nature - animal suffering, how could a loving "god" setup a world with that going on. I'm just going to blatantly say it, I've figured it out. This reality is the most elaborate prank of all time, setup to make us believe we are something we are not. "mother nature" is no different whatsoever than any human made technology, it is "manmade" technology in fact. No "God" exists that created the plants, animals, cell, human bodies even. Nope it's just mere technology INTENTIONALLY SETUP TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE BENEVOLENT OUTSIDE INTELLIGENCE DOESN'T EXIST. that is all. everything we learn in science about evolution and our history of having evolved from animals, or religious fairy tales like the garden of eden, are just cover stories to hide what is actually going on. There is no such thing as death, conscious death, we aren't bodies but have forced into believing we are, we are in fact something FAR FAR more than mere bodies. Genuine consciousness is the only real value thing in all existence. It has been unfairly farmed through our suffering for the benefit of the power brokers ruling this world. It is allowed to happen like this, because it also serves as the ULTIMATE test of true character and true love. But it is just a game, a cosmic hoax, prank, with loving implications that reach beyond understanding. It's a riddle, a test. That is it.

I am here in this 4d body, but my higher self is outside of time and matter... but I am my higher self, just having this experience.

Notice that I use the word "seemed' in both cases there..? From this, and other Alan Watts teachings, I now like to ask myself, objectively, questions like "is this really true, the beliefs (thoughts), that I currently experience..?" This is important, at least for me, because it provides me the opportunity for space, almost like that moment of silence, the quieting of the mind, that Alan Watts speaks of often. The almighty seems, the illusion of my thinking, isn't always quite exactly how things are. Anyways, things didn't just change over night, but my thinking had, and now I am in a place that is exactly the opposite of where I was. I am so happy. Thank you, Alan Watts...

[@Chris_Wolfgram]

Very interesting speech. On the one hand, I live more "in the now" than most of the people I've ever met in my life. Yet through a long list of life experiences, living through SO many things that can't be explained scientifically, I happen to believe their will be more. A lot more. If I'm wrong, I'll never know it, and it won't hurt me. If I'm right, it will be the most important thing I ever believed.

[@jeffreydrhodejr411]

Beautiful sentiment. I admire you.

[@sandrafelkner813]

I feel the same way. It's like a strong "knowing" or "feeling." I've heard before that, at the end of this life, we each get what it is that we expect to get (good or bad). If we are meant to learn, that would make sense.

[@jesusisking3814]

Thank God for being so graceful and sending His Son to die for our sins. If you die tonight, do you know where you're going? Did you know that Jesus Christ is THE Truth, the life and the only way to Heaven? Revelation 20:15 ''Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.'' Through Jesus Christ, God offers you a FREE gift - forgiveness. All you need to do is repent, turn away from your sins and evil ways, from now on put your faith completely in Jesus Christ and be obedient to Him. Biblical explanation of the Gospel: God doesn’t want anybody in hell, but you must understand why we deserve hell and why those who refuse to live under His authority will go there. He gave us the law (Ten Commandments) not to make us righteous, but rather to show us our sin (Romans 3:20). God gave us free will and since Adam sinned in the garden, sin is the nature of our flesh and we ALL have sinned. (Romans 3:23) The law demands death to those who sin (Romans 6:23). Since we have all sinned, we all deserve hell. Revelation 21:8 says that all liars will go to hell. Yes, even if you have lied once in your life, you are sentenced to hell - that's how high God's standards are of moral perfection because God is holy and righteous, there is not one sin in Him. For someone to be justified before holy God they have to be sinless, that's why everyone need Jesus Christ - for He lived a sinless life, died on the cross and rose from the dead on the third day. None of us are good in God’s eyes, because for God good means moral perfection. We all have broken God’s commandments, we all have sinned in our lives so none of us are good. ‘’For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.’’ (James 2:10). Our carnal mind is hostile to God; it does not submit to God's moral law and it never will (Romans 8:7). We hate the thought of God for the same reason a criminal hates a policeman - we know we have sinned against God and are guilty of it and we don't want to be damned. No good works will ever save you. You can't earn salvation by good works, because God will judge us for our sin. Good News is that Jesus Christ lived a perfect, holy, sinless life and He died for our sins according to the Scriptures, He was buried and He was raised from the dead on the third day according to the Scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:3-4) For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.’’ (John 3:16) We aren’t saved by our good works, but only by the grace of God through faith in Christ. ''For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9) Jesus said ‘’it is finished’’ (John 19:30) just before He died on the cross, which means He paid the fine for our sins (past, present, future) to be forgiven only IF we repent and trust in Him. This is how you can get saved from sin and hell - repent of your sins and trust in Jesus Christ. Get to know Him by reading God's Word. So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him.” (Luke 11:13) ''What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not!'' (Romans 6:15) ''Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out'' (Acts 3:19) Repentance is a turning away from sin and all evil works, and it always results in changed behavior (Luke 3:8). Biblically, a person who repents does not continue willfully in sin. While sorrow from sin is not equivalent to repentance, it is certainly an element of scriptural repentance (2 Corinthians 7:10). Do not play a hypocrite. ''God is light; in Him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth.'' (1 John 1:5-6) (John 3:3) Jesus replied, "Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again." If you have repented and have genuine faith in Jesus Christ then you will receive the gift of Holy Spirit and be born-again spiritually. When you believed, you were marked in Him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession - to the praise of His glory. (Ephesians 1:13-14) Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. (John 3:36) ''You will know them by their fruits'' (Matthew 7) If you have been truly born-again with the Holy Spirit and He has regenerated your heart, you will desire righteousnes - to do what is good and righteous in God's eyes, to seek God everyday in His Word and prayer, to strengthen your relationship with God. You will no longer desire to willfully continue living in sin but will want to obey God out of your love for Him because of His amazing grace revealed to us through the death and resurrection of His Son. ''Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.'' (2 Corinthians 5:17) ''For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.'' (Eph 2:10) You will have a testimony - of what your life had been before and how has it changed now when you have surrendered it to Lord Jesus Christ. As a declaration and affirmation of your faith in Jesus Christ, get baptised in water because He commanded us to do so. In John 3:5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.'' ''Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit'' (Matthew 28:19) ''Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.'' (Acts 2:41) ''And this water symbolizes the baptism that now saves you also - not the removal of dirt from the body, but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God - through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,'' (1 Peter 3:21) ''We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.'' (Romans 6:4) ''Having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through your faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.'' (Colossians 2:12) Please get right with God and get to know Jesus Christ personally today before it’s too late, because there’s not much time left! "But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.’’ (Mark 13:32) Get to know Christ through God's Word - Bible. At first I recommend reading Gospel of John and book of Romans. God bless you! Jeremiah 29:13 - ''You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.''
