How do you know what your life would have been . . . had you NOT listened on LSD ???? My point . . . there is no way of knowing. Ergo your claim of change is moot. Everything is always changing . . . whether listening on LSD or not.

[@DedicatedSpirit8]

@@piehound My life would have been drastically different has I understood all this earlier. But essentially it would've been the same. I would've lived, grown, deteriorated and died.... But the quality would've been much better... These are all personal assumptions... It's funny because my brother was always trying to turn me on to Watts and eastern spirituality but I never listened... I was alone one day and randomly decided to take 1 hit of very strong LSD while I was home one day and his video came on my feed. I was crying profusely during the peak It all clicked. Very intense mystical experience. And I was sitting on my couch in my underwear lol

[@anonymousc4tor0fgod59]

This is the difference between true religion and cults that that reached immense size. It provides a philosophical point of discussion. It is a process of self discovery. Not some arbitrary commandmemts, blind worship of a figurine, baseless love being repeated by the mouth of men, and endless demand of submission to a greater authority.

Is amazing what you said because I was in a evangelical church and start to read the bible and there is few verse in the book of Genesis that always intrigued me in cap 1 verse 26 is read" God said will create the man at my image and similar to us, conform to our Likeness,...." Verse 27 "And created God the man as it's image, as the image of God created them, God created them ; male and female he created them". Later in cap 2 verse 7 , "then Jehovah God created the men from dust of earth" and verse 21 "then Jehova make Adam to fall in a deep sleep and took a rib from him and created the woman." Why before woman creation, the being he created is both male and female? Later I understood that the first being was hemafrodite because have both, masculine and feminine energy and he divided it when put him in that deep sleep. Is like a double talking just in the first book of the bible. Also is talking in plural...I start to asking questions and eventually understood that no church could have them or hide them for the majority of humanity. I just find your videos and they bring a lot of light to all of us, thanks for this video.

[@MichaelAngelEscalante]

Good observation ♒

[@Salulu963]

Rib - could be just genetic material. Deep sleep - maybe cryo freeze/coma, life pausing. We (god/s) made man- sounds like genetic tinkering, successfully accomplished. Possibly after some attempts. Male/Female kind of implies an inability to procreate, and on this context, it's not appearing to be exactly the same as Man/Woman. To me only the latter sound perfected enough to be able to replicate with consistent genetic traits. I had fun with this, thanks :) haven't read a Bible since I was young but I know the verses well. Never noticed what you did though. This eye ;) peace

Can you imagine what Alan Watts would have said if he had lived until the "year" we all have strangely agreed is 2024? His input on Internet, social media and the such? He sounds like hes tripping heavy here. I could be wrong though.

[@Earthangel63]

@@DedicatedSpirit8 I don’t think he got heavily into psychedelics, but I do know he did it under medical supervision two or three times. He liked it and then the last time he said, he definitely had a religious experience, but he wouldn’t say it was for recreational purposes. I kind of believe him because how could you be so brilliant under the influence all the time. And he is definitely brilliant. I could be wrong, but I don’t think he was an acid head. Definitely would love to know his thoughts about 2024. In one lecture I can remember him saying “well now there using computers so they’re gonna help us a lot. “ I was like yeah buddy be glad you checked out early !✌️

[@DedicatedSpirit8]

@@Earthangel63 very true. I've done psychedelics maybe under 10 times in my life and the most meaningful experiences were when I did them alone/ with a trip sitter that would just be there as a crutch (we weren't hanging out, they were in the room next to me on call) and on high doses. Its most beneficial when meditating and or exploring your spirituality/ yourself. But I think having a strong spiritual base helps the experience alot too. But psychedelics are not "the answer" You will eventually sober up and the ego returns almost like it had never left. It's up to you to implement what you experienced into your present. Psychedelics are more of a key to answers within yourself rather than the answer itself. I am not an expert. Do your research!

Why people fight over these imaginary lines and wish for a day when we invent things to help us to evolve more and more instead of killing over these stupid lines. I contemplate how tiny we are and think we are so big and intelligent that we crave to outdo everyone else , while knowing that if we do get to the very top and beat everyone else there, we find that it’s only self left. And how lonely it would be. I think that this whole world is made up in our tiny human mind that hasn’t yet discovered all we are, is one entity strewn across this wondrous planet that we’ve created to enjoy.

[@Earthangel63]

@@KassJuanebe This is a long comment, got on a roll, sorry I agree with you. For instance, say that you were brought up in Strict Religious settings. Take me for example. Brought up to believe black or white. Roman Catholic or The Devil. You choose one or the other. No in between. As you grow up, You can certainly keep with you ,your morals and traditions, but still explore what other cultures believe, especially if you devote yourself to researching not only Their beliefs, but to also research your own religion beyond what you were taught in your own community. You may find inconsistency in some aspects that you interpret differently now that you’ve read more about WHY people think the way they do. Now you just might say to yourself. “ I still believe in God, but in the version of text that I just read sounds more like something that makes more sense to me” You could decide to travel like Watts did, and EXPERIENCE all different kinds of beliefs and come home with a different mindset and wonder about what we are and why we are , and something else now draws you to practice a bit of things from every culture. No one is bound to stay locked up in someone else’s belief. You had a strong foundation growing up and now you can sample the entire world and pick what suits your beliefs now. As far as I can tell tell he was very busy reading books and traveling to the far east studying our foundation of language , and how words are distorted by each generation that translates it to the next. He doesn’t condemn any of it. Just lays it out in a way for us to sample what he has learned. Cult leaders use shame to shape their followers, and abuse their power over people looking for a path that is better than the one they found themselves on , which may have been very abusive. Or innocent children they can manipulate straight from childhood. They do it for money and power. And personal perversions they have in some cases. No, he’s definitely not a cult leader. He just shares his passion and people like me and tons of others love his views. So they listen. And I imagine we are all grown ups. 😇❤️✌️
