“You are an aperture through which the universe is looking at and exploring itself.” ― Alan Watts

[@OnlyThisMoment]

All of us come into this world with nothing, and yet, we know everything. We leave this world with nothing that we have collected, having forgotten that we already had it all from the beginning 🙏

[@moniquebode1655]

I like what you have said 😏

[@fumarate1]

We leave the world the same way we came into it on teeth and shit in out pants.

We didn't come into this world. We came out of it. -Alan Watts

"By holding his breath, he loses it. By letting it go he finds it." -Alan Watts

[@ericfarina3935]

Ignore the big picture. Let the world burn. Feel better about yourself. Breathe. Just, breathe. Nothing is going to be alright. This isn't about them. It's about you.

[@ericfarina3935]

​@@wolfmage1922Who fucking cares? The best person in the world won't stop humanity from destroying ourselves. You are focused on the wrong problem, and you call that "enlightenment". Breathe. Just breathe. Breathing is involuntary. It is automatic. I would understand if you read this and came to the conclusion that I have missed the point. But I get it. I understand. It doesn't matter. You have no idea the terror that waits for us all in the very near future. When it comes we'll call it a force of nature... We'll pretend nothing could have been done. But with an ounce of foresight, this tragedy could be averted. It won't be.

[@tarunchauhan3393]

Alan Watts was so ahead of his time. He died long before even mobile phones were invented, but he still narrates the painful reality of today.

[@aldrinmercado3475]

@Saa Justin why do you wanna know God's beginning? Will the truth help you with your current life? Once we pass this earth, and go back to our creator we will know the truth. The human mind is not equipped to store all the memories and knowledge of the universe. All that we need to know is who we really are, the I am, part of the All

[@lesterdelacruz5088]

Listened to Alan Watts at 14. Don’t know what it is that made his words resonate at the time. It helped me through my suffering. At 31, his words still soothing and still helping me through my suffering. A lifetime of suffering is bearable derives from his teachings (I’ve since added lessons from Dostoevsky, Kierkegaard, Nitzche, and Bible in the last 17 years). I might even say these lessons make the suffering meaningful.

[@ombababrian]

The most fascinating part of all this is that Alan was describing a world his audience would never live in. That is to say, Alan Watts lived in the ancient, past, present and future in one life. So in his simplicity, he had a teleporting machine at least

[@jean-pierrefrancofievez3328]

One of the spiritual whistleblowers! Listen isn't enough, as always, if we don't apply it.

[@dupeit007]

He simply stated what is, has always been , it's a matter of discovering it within ourselves, that's upto us to what lengths we are prepared to go to do that, it's not an easy path but it's a beautiful and peaceful one, as I've discovered 'aham brahmasi'- I am the universe! It's the eternal truth which our culture teaches us everyday. We & everything around us is impermanent, once you accept this truth everything becomes simplified and clear but to truly accept this is tough. As the Gita says- it's not that I do not own anything, it's that nothing owns me, once we understand this we are everything and at the same time nothing

[@honeybunchhoneybunch9954]

He was an amazing man. Why is it that he was so wise - yet he became an alcoholic later in life? Was it because he became frustrated that so many didn’t heed his wisdom? It seems just a tragic waste of such a genius. What is others opinion on why he changed so much? Am so grateful that he shared so much invaluable knowledge and learning with us all.

[@azloii9781]

As a musician/songwriter, I interpret "it" as the note you reach as the chords and such finally resolve in a song. I'm sure some of you know what I mean. Don't keep trying to reach "it" or the whole song will be this potential energy not fully realized. Breathe a bit, let more rhythms fill in then sing like the DOVES. Or maybe im high as shit, or both!

[@Aurelius-VDB]

Thank you for beautifully editing these videos ❤ really appreciate the non distracting music

[@morgan-5171]

I just wish they stayed here with us in this this journey our loved ones as we must take this trip alone it seems well not quite alone as our creator is up there watching over us like a cloud in the sky or a star in the night. Thank God for Alan thank God for us.

[@vipsaulo]

We've been always controlled by some kind of force. That's natural. Freedom and protection come from within and are available to anyone who finds their way for that path no matter in what part of the history we come about. That's why we were inserted in this temporary part of our existence. Everything is possible, not everything is probable.

I do enjoy and find Alan watts inspiring ... the music was distracting in this video. I think I'd prefer to listen to his longer discourses .. with quieter or no music

[@klassyride]

" We are all messengers in this world,in a way or another with messages not of our own,always searching for a purpose for that "I Am " pointing to "our body",which holds an immense power And we do not recognize it, connected to and through power of Creation A drop of soul,in a Ocean of souls,and an Ocean of creation In a drop of Soul... Energy with No borders and no prejudice...just Love and Peace...." - ( from creator).

[@Tammygma]

Ever since I can remember I knew there was someone there in this universe than what I could see. Yes, He has a name. His name is God, my Dearest Heavenly Father. I've just known this my entire life. This is without anyone putting anything into my mind. Love is pure and so are the feelings we get that give us testimony unsearched.

7:50 He predicted the modern smartphone culture! I do mean _culture_ and not just the phones themselves because there was a time, up to about 10 years ago, where it was still considered rude and entitled to expect instant replies and answers to your calls and messages anytime of day or night. These days even employers and clients are upset if you don't give their texts and emails an instant reply late at night. It's all so wrong.
