The Art of Radical Acceptance and Surrender | Alan Watts

Alan Watts (1915-1973) was a British-born philosopher, writer, and speaker who gained widespread recognition for his profound insights into Eastern philosophy, particularly Zen Buddhism, and his ability to bridge Eastern and Western thought. He remains influential for his explorations of human consciousness, the nature of reality, and the search for meaning in life.
In this discourse, Watts encourages us to relinquish our desire for control and instead place our trust in the natural rhythm of the universe. Set against the backdrop of the transformative mid-20th century, this lecture invites us to embrace the wisdom of letting go and allowing life to unfold organically.

No annoying music or stock, literal videos of actors holding there head in their hands or staring into sunsets. Just Alan (and a background plane) - glorious.

So simple but beautiful isn't it :)

[@Durchii]

​@@WuWeiOfLifeNo, seriously bud, it's greatly appreciated. I can't stand when already great lectures are backed by overly dramatic music, I can't/won't even listen to them.

[@WuWeiOfLife]

@Durchii means a lot, thanks for the support. You can guarantee a plethora of lectures will be readily available, any suggestions for future content are also welcome. :)

If any of those things bother you, then there is no way you are actually listening to anything Alan is saying. You are missing the point entirely. Don’t worry about such things.

A lot of “geniuses” are tormented. He knew, but he was unable to do it himself in many ways. He knew the answers, quite well. But, was unable to free himself completely; though his teachings showed he really wanted to. Possibly his own struggle, kept him seeking and thinking..yet thinking too much. To his own demise? But, who knows how much he actually overcame? And alcohol was his dominate monster that he never got to conquer fully. Maybe next lifetime?

[@renegadejane6122]

Ram Das has mentioned this in a few if not more of his lectures.
