Thank you for sharing. I was raised Catholic but always questioned it’s teachings. I’ve never felt comfortable or felt like I belonged. I’ve read the Bible several times and still questioned it’s teachings. I then started reading and reading about different cultures and their beliefs. All concepts are similar yet different in different ways. I believe in a higher power of good and oneness. Blessings to all.

[@themenace4017]

I’m Also Catholic and have read the Bible and I’ve questioned all things since I was very young, and again in my teens and late teens and very much in my 20’s & 30’s, and even more in my 40’s thru now in my 60’s…. I’ve found that to be a very good thing, maybe we found different answers but my experiences are on the whole it has brought me closer to Christ and with a deeper understanding of why I carry and build a stronger faith in our Lord and Savior, and with the Blessed Virgin Mary…. Today we have Medjugorje and I admit I had to question this as well and 1-2 years later I find that I also believe the messages are from heaven and The Blessed Mother and are also true. As we have knocked on many doors and opened them is what God wants us to do, and not be a robotic tool that doesn’t think or come to him with that attitude or mindset As we’ve heard n known “that we must have the faith of a child”, which is easy enough yet very challenging at times, and we all get dry sometimes.. I know most people then ask or say, that’s dumb or why should an adult have the Faith of a child… Very simple, cause like the change in your pocket, there’s 2 sides, Good n Evil. And for most people it’s just natural to become syndical with age, experiences and becoming desensitized due to life. So once your weak in faith wouldn’t someone make an easier target for the evil ones to destroy that faith you known makes sense in your heart n soul ? Again everyone one of us is different in all ways of our center and it’s decision making so we will come up with different answers and ideas and more questions Take care and don’t loose your faith in these most wicked of days

Good for you, to think for yourself. I too was raised catholic. I’ve come to see, that organized religions, are primarily about power and wealth. (Greed). My spirituality is in the eyes of a baby or a child’s wonder. To be in nature, surrounded by the life force. As removed as possible, from our deconstruction of life. Though I have seen nine bears this year. It could get real.

[@richarde.plante3292]

Correct, I also felt that way. Each and every religion professes their god is the only god. So how many true gods are there? Is it like the Greek gods, one for water, one for land, another for the sky ! If there is a supreme being and maker of humanity, it's not going to be like a club of gods competing on which one gets the most love and admiration. What kind of supreme being would allow babies and children to be slaughtered as is being done right now in the middle east??

[@internetfactcheck]

Ever since I was a young child I could never accept religion, especially in the way it was presented in Christian churches. It never resonated with me. I saw judgment, shame, fear and control coming from the mouths of people who did not act in the way they preached. "You will get it one day," I was told. "You are simply too young and naïve." Though the older I have gotten, the more I have realized that my instincts have always been spot on.

I've been there. Now I enjoy them all or only the popular ones so far. I'm trying to learn, read, watch as much as I can. One thing I feel in my soul to be true is that there is Good and Evil. And Evil can be helped to be good and good can be tricked into being evil. If I have free will than I'm able to come to my own conclusions. Religion teaches us to much to discuss here but one thing it teaches is to be kind to all living beings. To forgive, because God does. Intelligent humans from the beginning of time wrote down these prophecies.. I don't think we will ever call something we say a prophecy ever again lol. So I humble myself to all religions and respect people's beliefs because of those who went out of there way to bring this kind of education on how to live your life in peace. It is us who chose to use these ancient writings to divide us. But to dismiss such brilliance is a sin in itself.

[@PeaceUnforsaken]

Disproving religion because it is supposedly the work of men's writings while quoting another man's writing. Laughable. Boils down to which written word one believes in. For all your wisdoms of past events and theories were also given down to you by mens writings. But we all die. And eventually see the Truth.

[@orothien]

@@PeaceUnforsaken It is an argument. Disproof is left for you to decide. And on the matter of Truth, you need self-reflection; not death. If you can philosophically enlighten your mind, you can see through transcendent assertions that cannot be relevant for human psyche. Therefore any mystical manifestation -such as a holy text- is actually itself laughable.

[@PeaceUnforsaken]

@@orothien An Argument can be won or lost. True or false. There is no logical contradiction in God's Word. In scriptures there can be found more and more explanations for the same phenomenon. It has been proven to be a very exact archeological book. Wisdom is found in the Bible. Knowledge of the spiritual world. And events to come prophesied. Cities described in scriptures, that scholars doubted of their existence, have been found. And there is so much more your spiritual blindness prevents you from seeing. The Word of God explains everything around you including religions, science and everything else. This you call enlightenment. And Only the WORD is the Light of the World. One can certainly obtain the knowledge of the Truth before one dies. I was pointing out, in your case, it seems you will meet the Truth only upon death. He will be standing before you. Now about human wisdom. Our science is based on a lot of theories. Theories can not be facts. And even man's inventions have proven science theories to be wrong. WEB telescope. Proving that our supposedly correct conclusions were not congruence, had consistency, nor coherence, or usefulness. Wasn't TRUE. Our knowledge is nothing compared to God's. You may think your totally enlightened and know the truth; but it's your personal truth. Your conclusion to what you feel are facts. The fact is God already knows many think they are wiser than Him. “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts."

Everyone, to me, misunderstands what the term Hell truly is. Hell is a tormented human soul trapped in the decaying remnants of its own body, unable to escape after death due to the absence of faith. When a body is buried six feet under or consumed by flames during cremation, the soul remains imprisoned, doomed to an eternity of darkness and isolation. Faith must be arduously earned throughout life, regardless of religious beliefs. The Bible can guide obtaining this vital faith, offering a glimmer of hope amidst the encroaching shadows. Summary: HELL is only six feet under.

[@djmandyland]

I was an atheist my entire life up until 3 years ago when I found Christ. I have never been afraid of dying. In fact I attempted suicide multiple times when I was an atheist. After finding Jesus my life isn't easier but I move through it with a complete peace in my soul and spirit like I've never felt before. So I have never cared about death. I am happy and optimistic about it now sure but it was never a real concern or thing I cared about. Jesus truly can change you in ways you could never imagine. I literally am a complete 180 of the miserable angry sad human I use to be all because I opened up my heart to him. Meanwhile the world is overly medicated on anti depressants, anxiety meds, etc. Big Pharma aka Satan is having a field day at how he's keeping people suppressed and locked in chains mentally. Porn, social media, narcissistic tendencies are sky rocketing. People only caring about me me me what can I get what can I achieve. Jesus teaches you humility and how to surrender to actually opening up your heart to him and he literally breaks ALL of those chains. The chains of the world/satan are nothing for him to break. I truly pray everyone can see the truth eventually because these intellectual speakers are pawns used by satan to keep you in a state of thinking you can do it all on your own or if you do tap into a "higher power" it's demonic and you don't even realize what you're invoking. I've been on BOTH sides. I use to follow this man and other mystic teachers and practice witchcraft before I found Jesus and ya'll seriously have no idea how deceived you actually are. The devil is SMART, smarter than any human could even fathom. His greatest trick is playing off of humans egos and making them think they can be all powerful. Funny, that's literally what he did in the garden of Eden by telling Adam and Eve if they eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil they will be just like God. Tempting a human and their ego is his number one go to.

It’s all about manipulation and control. They will promise you the “Kingdom of God” or anything that doesn’t exist and then ask for “donations”. In Germany they wanted to automatically discount it from my hard earned salary every month. I said “no way”, I already help people in need every time I can.

Not a shred of physical evidence to support that claim. In those times, religion and politics went hand in hand. Politicians and certain scholars would use the power of a made up story to control people and gain favor in the name of "religion". Christianity is nothing more than any ancient religion; it's a astronomical adaptation. Walk on water, water into wine, virgin birth, or any other "miracle" that was described is simply a lie.

Seek and ye shall find. Knock and the door shall be opened. I've been seeking for about 6 months because I had so many questions that I was afraid to ask due to my 47 years of Christian background, and I am completely blown away by all of the information I am learning as I continue to dig. I honestly feel that I am seeking in my heart and I am being shown the truth. All of this makes so much more sense and answers many of my questions compared to the answers I get from any religous follower that have more experience than myself or any preacher both local or all those on KZbin. Here are a few questions I had after "trying" to get through the first 5 books of the old testament without being confused for the 2nd time (the first time I tried to read , it scared the crap out of me, I put the book down and went back into my box.) Here I am, 7 years later trying again and I feel no different than I did back then: 1.) How or why are we automatically born into sin? An innocent child coming out of the mother's womb with no sin is still considered a sinner? What makes this so? 2.) Why was God favoring a certain group of people? Aren't we all God's children? Aren't we all created by God? 3.) Why isn't the Rapture talked about in Revolations? I always thought it was, but it's not. Where did this come from? 4.) Why in the New Testiment is there so much talk about food and sacrafice? There was so many references to sacraficing animals. 5.) Why were so many people, including children murdered by God? The reasononing I heard preachers state was that God created life and it is a privlage to be alive, so he can do what he wants. Those children would have turned out to be awful, murdering, and corrupt people, so he did a good thing. I find this hard to believe. There is so much corruption now, so what's going on with that? Why aren't the current corrupt being destroyed by God now? 6.) God spoke so much of being fruitful and multiplying yet suddenly we are to spend our entire life with one person, yet so many men had several wives. Most all men back then and even now can't go an entire day without thinking of sex at least once per day. If the purpose of sex is to pro-create bringing children into the world, why did God allow sex to feel so good? Why is an orgasim one of the best feelings a person can experience? Some may say that it's the devil making us feel like that, but I say it's a sensation that was given by God in our body and the devil had nothing to do with that feeling. They may also say that people wouldn't pro-create as much to populate if it didn't feel good, but most have this desire to start a family at some point in their lives and would do it regardless of the feeling in order to start a family. I don't like to work because it doesn't really make me feel good, but working gives me something I want (money), so I do it regardless, however sex feels so good and is a beautiful experience, so why is it looked upon as a sin if you aren't in a union with someone? Why would even thinking about a person sexually be considered audultry? Everyone for the most part has felt this way about someone else at some point in their life. Is this something created by the Romans to make us feel guilt and shame? I could go on and on with the questions, but my main questions that lead me down this road was "How do I pray properly" because so many of my prayers go unanswered. This is when I learned about the lost gospels that weren't accepted in to the biblical cannon. The others were "How was the bible created?" and "When was the bible first distributed?". When I realized that the Romans were the main people that "decided" on the scripters permitted, I was super confused and unsure of so much. The Romans were violent dictators. They killed for sport. They were huge sinners and did un-Godly things, yet Constantine decided he wanted to be a Christian so everything changed after that??? Hell, the first thing I think of when I hear the words Roman Catholic Priest is "child molester". How many have gone to prison for this? Many....how many Christian leaders have turned out to be scam artists, rapists, and sexual molesters? During my search on the history of the bilble, I learned about many other texts that were not accepted and wondered....why??? I wondered if any of these texts could have been edited, altered, or changed. Many may say, "of course not"., but I say "what if?"....is it possible??? Yes! This is likely why there are thousands of different denominations in Christainity. Why so many? Are we that far apart on what is right or wrong? I am now at the point where I just love Jesus and I love God as the creator. I believe that Jesus was awake and understood God and creation and was a messenger and taught us how to be in oneness with God and the way we should live and try to be, but I believe God is loving and wasn't as harsh as the old testiment says and is accepting of most all people. I don't know what will happen to the corrupt and evil people, but I feel I only need to keep myself happy, strive to be a good person, take care of my family, be fair, and most importantly, to LOVE all. I am so confused on this because I do attend church and I feel as though I don't belong and I don't want to raise my children in a belief that could be false as I believe I was through my family. I feel now like I did when my parents told me Santa wasn't real. I feel betrayed but I still have faith that God is everywhere and in all of us. Maybe I'm just crazy, but I have a feeling that when I die, I will still go up to be with God because God loves all of us more than we realize and God wants us to do the same. I feel it's really just that simple. Great video by the way!

@@cuebj Souls know it: Christianity is reality, not a religion. We place Christianity among the religions, ain`t we get "Catholic religion"? We place Christianity among the religions, we then give it to an satanic origin. - Why on earth we would do that? Christianity - a religion? - so saving from hell fire ain´t taking place for real? Christianity - a religion? - souls going to hell, to pay for their own sins, ain´t taking place in real? Souls, who see Christianity as religion, feel free to explain. For i see CLEAR REALITY and not a religion. There is choosing between 2 masters, GOD OR MAMMON? - whom we will serve? Truth or lies? Reality or religions? LIFE or DEATH? Deuteronomy 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: Joshua 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.

I pray that more would study about the rapture, that Rapture which will deceive many, like with Easter, and Christmas. There's a very good read on it by Margaret McDonald back in 1830. She was thrown in prison for her belief and also because of her vision about the "RAPTURE" so why would they throw her in prison for that? Tells me a lot about their rapture that pastors started to deceive many and I wonder who was in charge of that, satan. God said that some of us will be thrown in to prison for his name and will put us to death as well. Margaret McDonald studied Christian Theology and was a devout christian, and a nurse in the army. It's a good read. I've been studying & doing a lot of reaserch about this false fly away doctrine that God talks about in Ezekiel 13: and other books in the bible, even though rapture is no where in the Bible anywhere. But I've study faithfully on it for 7 years to help others. Is it my calling, I don't know, it can be, and I've prayed about it. But I do believe 100 % that it is from satan.

The bible does not state that man would be able to do as good if not better, however I see how you may have come to this conclusion or the persons who may have said this to you or in a sermon. For better context you need to read further than John, chapter 14, verse 12. The next Verse in the bible talks about Jesus promise the coming of the Holy Spirit, who will empower the disciples after he's gone. Going to the father speaks of his death on the cross for our sins. I believe you are referring to the holy spirit which could be referred to as the light of God inside us. Since Jesus came to earth as one man, the collective body of Christ would go on to more than what Jesus in human form could do in his short time on earth. His relationship to giving his life for our sins was the catalyst for changing how we as humans would be able to connect with the holy spirit and through Jesus God the father. Not even sure why this was the comment I decided to respond to. But I hope this helps & you are doing well a year later. =)

Alan Watts, the maestro of Eastern philosophy and the art of living, reminds us that life is not a problem to be solved, but a mystery to be embraced. His profound teachings invite us to let go of our rigid perceptions, dive into the depths of existence, and dance with the ever-changing rhythms of the universe. Through his wisdom, we find liberation in accepting the impermanence of life and discovering the beauty in every moment. Thank you, Alan Watts, for guiding us towards a deeper understanding of ourselves and the interconnectedness of all things.

Of COURSE there are problems in this world that NEED to be solved. Dancing w/ the universe is not the solution. Jesus's life & teachings are, & his presence is. All people are interconnected, but it's not people or the rocks or trees that save people from themselves. Mankind very much needs saving from itself. As Jesus said that God would do, God sends the Holy Spirit of Truth in Jesus's name & as Jesus said, the Holy Spirit is a teacher. The Holy Spirit is very real & is *Amazing.* I have much direct experience w/ the Holy Spirit. People don't know what they're missing & what it's supposed to be like on Earth. God sends The Holy Spirit to those who truly repent of sin, ask God's forgiveness, & accept Jesus as Lord & savior. Many people who consider themselves to be followers of Jesus actually don't understand him & aren't following him. I feel sorry for anyone who has no idea that they have a soul & that it's the most important thing they'll ever have & that the most important question in life is where your soul will go after life on Earth. Do yourself a favor & read a red-letter, modern-language New Testament w/ Jesus's words in red. Focus on Jesus. Not on what a student or apostle of his taught. Focus on Jesus. People who are dismissive of him make a huge mistake & don't know what they're missing out on.

You both see the importance of compassion and understanding in dealing with suffering, which is pretty cool! Alan also encouraged looking beyond strict religious rules to find your own personal connection with the divine.

Alan watts you are wrong bro now I'm not saying that you are totally wrong with the Catholics adopting the idea of Christianity but the real truth is the devil has them to take it partially over to corrupt the masses to mislead the youth and the general people of the public becuz if you have that KZbin caption that reads that they made it all up then you are also mainly saying that they made up the whole existence of Jesus Christ and if you deny Jesus you are basically denying the the creator God which is Jesus father .and you are also denying the events that lead up to Jesus being born into a manger.becuz look at it like this from my perspective I'm talking about God the creator having the ability from simple train of thought in the back of Gods mind to think of Jesus being born into Marys womb and it can to be this is why in the bible God has rested the seventh day the bible says .so if God has this type of power to create his son in the virgin Mary then God is infinite he is inside of everything every living thing the trees he is embedded into the core of our DNA so to deny Jesus is to deny God himself .God is an extension of our selves.now I'm not saying that the Catholicsl churches didn't try and take over Christianity but some of Catholic people also have been misguided by the devil and all and what I mean by that is the devil can manipulate and deceive the people of the public .becuz he doesn't want the real truth to get out about the real holy bible .me Alan watts I'm going to ask you this very one question if that story is all made up then why would the virgin Mary lie about her pregnancy being born with jesus.when the KZbin content creator had wrote a caption that says: and I quote they made it all up .well if they have made it all up then the very existence of God the creator is also none existing and the big bang theory also never happen too as well .everything around you is created by no other then God.and time was ideally already though of and created by God the creator himself .to me in my opinion time and motion is the same thing that's just my opinion becuz we cannot see the wind but we know that the wind is there .and again we can't see God the creator but we know he is there .and sometimes the devil's people makes false doctrines to also throw off the people of the general public.thst is basically what u are saying in your caption or the KZbinr is saying in the caption inside of the KZbin video they made it all up .the devil is mainly using the media when u break down the word m-e-d-i-a take that word and apply it to another word of the same origin m-e-d-i-t-a-t-e,just like the word m-e-t-a -v-e-r-se everything within the confinement spaces of the origin of those words has the same similarity of that word.and marker Zucker burge is the one who created the metaverse and he is the CEO of Facebook and all.let that sink in.

WRONG. Early Christians, after John wrote Revelation (into the second century AD), were not Catholic but attached still to what First century AD Christians (Jesus' followers and disciples) taught and believed. The straying had begun then, but not all strayed. Those who strayed became Catholics, those who apposed the straying slowly faded overall, even though some withstood the test of time at least according to their times. Catholics' attachment to Peter as a claim for an inheritance is unfounded in Gods word (more on this when anyone responds). And yes, God has USED people of the world to have his word or prophesies fulfilled, and those early "Catholics" were used in the same way. The Dead Sea Scrolls gave new light to True Christianity as Gods name was re-introduced into Gods word as it was suppose to: Gods name was never ever meant to have been replaced with "LORD" or just God in many places. The Dead Sea Scrolls gave better light to the Christian Scriptures as Jesus and some apostles quoted from the Hebrew Scriptures where Gods name is found so "LORD" and "God" and such titles have bee correctly replaced with Jehovah. Jesus is by far and away not like any other man mentioned in any other religious or spiritual book ever written. God did not send his only begotten son, the second most powerful and holy being in the universe, to be spat on, mocked, humiliated, imprisoned, beaten, tortured and killed, just so that it would be okay for everyone to have their own way of thinking spiritually. That is not how it works. God is a God of order and his word, The Bible, has been proved true and accurate time after time and again: only those who want and wish to do their own thing will believe what this shameless and uneducated video said. "The Great Tribulation" will without fail come soon enough, just take a look around the shameless and unholy world, Gods word comes to fulfillment every day.

Thank you ❤ for posting this. Alan Watts is a master. I have recently experienced what he just described. In my early age, I was Catholic, then in my teens a born again Christian. I’ve gone through so much pain and suffering (health related) and have this tremendous curiosity of life, of it’s purpose and if there is a creator. 6 years ago I saw a sign about meditation at a cancer center at a clinic. That journey led me to science and eastern philosophy (Buddhism, Psychology, Evolutionary Psychology Neuroscience, Hindu, Daoism, Confucianism)). That’s where I ran into books by Alan Watts, Robert Wright and others. Videos like this are amazing. I have started to see without the lenses or tint of my human nature. I can see clearly like never before. I Can see what ppl call imperfections but now. I Can see the fleeting nature of feelings and understand why they arise. I Can identify the inner chatter in mind and recognize it’s not me but my Default Mode Network (part of the brain that plans, left hemisphere). Despite my health issues, I accept them as part of this beautiful and miraculous life. And its only the beginning. I know I sound crazy but I can see and definitely experience what Alan Watts is describing. I wish with all my heart you all do as well. I wish you all my success, health, love and no suffering. 🙏🏻 I’ll be sharing this wonderful video with others.

What is love without God? God is love. The Bible is an historical document. This man opens up with lies. In Jesus day, they read and Jesus quoted from the Septuagint LXX of the Old Testament. Hebrew translated into Greek (the language of trade of the day). And we did not get our english Bible thanks to the Catholics. The Catholics read the Bible in Latin. KJV was translated in english from Latin in 1511 but that was not the first english Bible. Ultimately, that doesn't matter because we have over 45,000 manuscripts of the Bible it the original Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic. You can put the New Testament together alone based on the sermon notes of first century preachers such as Irenaeus, Justin Martyr and many more. More evidence on Scripture that your very existence. You can reject it but you have to be a deliberate simpleton to deny it. I preach Jesus Christ of Nazareth not denominations or the demonic roman catholic church. Hell is to hot to be deliberately ignorant and deceived by these charlatans and workers of darkness.

I myself committed my life to Christ at age 26 in the throws of a bi-polar manic episode (my first of a few). Now, 38 years later I still believe in Him. Its been a rough ride, interspersed with 2-5 year periods throughout of blatant ungodly living followed by repentance. I am stronger in Him today than ever but at the same time more aware of just how deeply I am permeated in sin even though it isn't dispayed in such blatant or obvious ways, such as drug/alcohol abuse and sexual sin. A lot of sin is derived from pride, bitterness, resentment, and wanting what I want when I want it. God is showing me that the fruit of the Spirit; Love, joy, peace, patience, goodness, kindness, gentleness, faithfulness, and self-control is what is most important. For this will glorify God in heaven when others see these attributes in a man who claims that Jesus is Lord of all. Just as importantly, when a man becomes aware that he is posessing these attributes then surely Christ has made His abode inside of him. For he promised; "I stand at the door and knock. If any man opens to Me I will come into him and make my abode with him. And dine with him. And I will manifest (or reveal) Myself to him." Now that is a promise I will do my all to hold Him to.

He had disdain for those that preached on "sin" and felt that this type of preaching/teaching oppressed believers with constant feelings of guilt. Guilt is very similar to "conviction" in regard to upholding a Godly standard in one's lifelong walk but even when a believer doesn't allow God to deal with it effectively it is better than an alternative of searching for answers elsewhere.

He died an alcoholic. He was more attuned to his own inner life and more unhappy because of it. You should do some research about Alan Watt and how he lived his life without finding God.

[@yvonneollivier7088]

@@Success1-xc4by I have not done research into A. Watts since seeing, hearing this video. I'm not enough interested in a narrative about him, positive or negative. I recognized the views expressed here as valuable. Period. I am not looking for a guru. It would be a mistake to assume that one who takes Jesus at his word, "The Father is greater than I," has not recognized the reality, existence and goodness, of our Creator, God. Too many people have, IMO, deleted the Christ's teachings and example from their minds and lives. They substitute worship of him, idolatry, rather than living in the example of his loyalty to God and truth or in following his way of integrity, whatever the consequences. It is easier to say, "Jesus died for my sins," than to "Seek ye the truth," much less to live it. A man, Mr. Watts specifically if your summary of his end is true...and I have no reason to doubt that, can be right in some things, while very wrong in others. The reason I had never looked him up, before or since, is that I was awate that he was something of a "spiritual", or perhaps more accurately "philosophical", rock star and he frankly struck me as full of himself in any brief audio/visual encounters/writings that I'd stepped away from. Until the above. What he said here, although I agree with it, has not made me a disciple or even a fan. Consider that honest people can speak falsehoods unknowingly, holdng unrecognized false beliefs. Fools or charlatans can also speak a portion of truth, with or without intention. He is not what counts. True words are. I agree with you, if you mean to imply that self-absorption is a dangerous road. I do think, from the little I have encountered his work, that he was self-absorbed. If the inner reality was all that mattered, there would be no need for others, society, or even creation. One's intuitions need to be checked against what is observed. In ambiguous cases, surely Spirit, God, must be asked for wisdom and clarity. To make any specific man or prophet into one's God is idolatry. But to regard one's own insights as one's highest reference, one's God, is also. If he did that, it was in error. No wonder he was not satisfied by it. Our souls/human spirits are indeed specific aspects of God. A part is not the whole. We are not God. We are not complete in ourselves. And because God created us of Himself, we are also precious to God, and no good thing remains lost forever. God is wills to share his nature with us, and to reveal Himself to the extent that we can absorb divine nature. We need each other and our Creator. It is also true that we are engaged here in a 'trial and error" process of discovering truth. I wouldn't hold Mr. Watts' diminishment and unfortunate death against him. It goes with the territory of living as a limited, sometimes mistaken, human being. I assume that he did his best as he understood life. Although not my cup of tea, he probably inspired many people to look within for the first time. It's too bad if he thought that was the whole ball of wax. In the movie, Groundhog Day, the main character begins, with some reason, to believe that he may actually be God. He is only brought back to reality when he cannot save the life of an old man. Maybe, next life, Mr. Watts sees it all. Or maybe he already does, and he has served his purpose on Earth by his work and teachings. Despite having a blind side, for those who can separate content from personality, and who are drawn to him without hero worship aspects, he may present needed signposts. Thanks for your comment. Yes. The whole ball of wax IS God. It is His creation. Just give us credit, we are the parts of God that He sent to serve in the trenches, and often on a very limited 'need to know' basis. There is a reason for all of it. Truth, indeed love, can only prove to be superior and divine when challenged. Earth challenges. And in us, the one God creates individuals of His own being.

What a beautiful and poetic contemplation. He speaks from the perennialist perspective, free of dogma. Inspiring.

As a born Christian, I always lived in a Christian community, but of course, I questioned my beliefs. However, there were multiple experiences with God that had a pattern, and there's no way they were just coincidences because they happened not once or twice. That's why I'm now a strong believer.

Believer of what

Sounds like bias.

[@teasquared09]

I’m Ethiopian/Eritrean Tewahedo Orthodox Christian. We study with oldest and most complete version of the Bible in the world. I’ve always appreciated Alan Watts. After listening to this… I’m even more inspired by my faith. I have plenty of issues with Western Christianity/Roman Catholicism. Don’t discount Oriental & Eastern Orthodox Christianity. It’s a beautiful religion. May god bless us all 🙏

This guy missed the whole absolute point of this video and completely ignored it's point, just to try and point out his own point of view, while missing the absolute whole point of this video, what an absolute miss on your own behalf. Well done you

@@JohnnyJackson746You say that because you know that in your mind “If” God is real and he very much is, you are afraid you won’t/can’t be saved or won’t/can’t believe in the word of Jesus as your Lord, King, and Savior. That you can’t repent from sin, so why believe it if it damns you. You need true faith, few are blessed with the faith without any difficulty in their lives, especially nowadays. But most of us have to see the hardships of this world and reach lows we never thought possible and see truths for what they are, to connect the dots and not fear the reality but embrace it for what it is, the lord Jesus is coming and it is very soon, sooner than we realize. I know that you have been conflicted with the sin you have committed, the bad you have done. That’s your conscience and all have one, it is what God bestowed on us. God’s law is written in our hearts, no other animal on this planet has one. Deny yourself and accept Christ.

What Jesus said about himself is credible. In ages past, God's character had been misunderstood and confusing. Jesus revealed the true character of God by putting on humanity and living among people in his day. Today He lives in each one who believes in him

When I was young I never saw people who looked like me in paintings at churches. I always had questions and never got answers. I was just told to believe. I later began to study on my heritage and ancestors and found that they were spiritual and didn’t pray to a sky daddy and from there I began to see things differently and a lot more clearer. Settlers gave my ancestors a bible and took their land. Thus here we are today in a messed world run by imperialist living under capitalism.

[@alonzocrawford3212]

Well spoken and it could be no further from the thuth...I just wish we could all wake up and unite...

[@frsmoopus2864]

We’re not living on capitalism we’re living under crony capitalism. In other words it’s manipulated. We’ve had a central bank in this country for over 100 years and you cannot have capitalism with centralized control. That’s a key point that people need to know there are always gonna be problems as man’s nature is what his, that is our biggest problem our own nature. Best regards.

[@heavenlysadist]

I feel the same way. I never saw my ancestors praying for Jesus, they were busy doing their usual Bobohizan ritual and mostly shamanism. Right now, I want to go for that path and possibly carrying on my heritage, it's such a waste that this whole life we were told it's not doctrination but yet, it is.

[@frsmoopus2864]

Super-interesting comments. Ever actually study the words of Christ? 'Dare' you to! LOL You will get a completely different view than if you 'go to church' Mindblower.@@heavenlysadist

This is absolutely amazing 100% true! This is the Key! To peace on earth!! Love n light 😍🥰🌺

[@lawrenceehrbar8667]

Christ said he didn't come to bring peace but a sword and division. To divide a son from his parents and a sister from her brother and so on. So, argue that one. We are required to live peaceably within our society as far as it is within us unless that which that which society requires is contrary to God's law.

[@greaterthansolomon-vv4ho]

the sword is in the second coming. they killed him when he brought love.

[@tbridge7183]

@@lawrenceehrbar8667So a "sword and division," "dividing a son from his parents and a sister from her brother," is going to "require" us to "live peaceable within our society"? What are you talking about, man? 😂🤣😂

[@lawrenceehrbar8667]

@tbridge7183 I was saying that it is fruitless to strive for "peace on Earth". It will one day become reality, but only when Christ returns and not thru any efforts of mankind. The Apostle Paul teaches us to be at peace with all men, as much as it requires of us, with the exception of compromising God's law.

Its all apart of the test, when one is ready they will start to contemplate,to go within themselves rather than without an to the likings of a book ,this is when the inner knowings of things will come back to us ❤
