THE UNCOMFORTABLE TRUTH by Alan Watts - Things Fall Apart (SHOTS OF WISDOM 10)

Check out the entire Alan Watts Playlist: • Alan Watts Playlist
“You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free”, said once Jesus. Even the most discomforting truth would set you free if you just learned to accept it. This is what Alan Watts wonderfully demonstrates in one of his most disturbing, yet most revealing speeches.

I live willingly off grid, basically homeless just me my dog and my backpack.. I spend all my time doing as I please and living in the moment, I'm happy and rarely need anything more than some weed or good meal.. Every day the "donkeys chasing carrots" as Allen so lovingly calls them, they look at me as though something has to be wrong with me for choosing freedom instead of being another mindless sheep.. As though they feel bad for me, while I feel bad for them for wasting what little time we get... It falls apart faster than most people realize, if you make it to 100, and most people don't... 100 years is only just over 5000 weeks... Don't waste it, enjoy it and be present in life

[@kayasement6115]

Everyone is living their life and doing what they think is best for them. Many of them aren’t “donkeys” they just haven’t become aware that’s they are chasing carrots. But it’s our job to open their minds while also knowing that “Wisdom that a wise man attempts to impart always sounds like foolishness to someone else” that’s our obstacle in enlightening others around us.

I am on the same road and its been so hard to let go of the judgements and criticisms of my youth and even now, Im the odd one but I live in peace and joy and let few things still bother me. I have a vision of peace which I will follow till completion. Blessings on your beautiful path. We know!

The tempo, tone and dynamics in Allen's speech are as mesmerizing as the content.

Alan...

[@lennysoenaryo4313]

I am not a native speaker, and yet, I enjoy so much his speech. It is like a music.

[@creaampuff5658]

Glad Im not alone. I really find peace and calm in this kind of audio video of Alan watts with calming music.

[@DustinFurlow]

The fact that he could be so wise, well-spoken and communicative yet still laugh heartily says everything.

[@brucegelman5582]

So remarkable.I wish every young man and woman could hear this in schools across the planet.Bless you Alan!

So true, especially in the case of Alan Watts.

Instead of tomorrow, make today great by focusing on your Personal Development. Tomorrow is never guaranteed and at least you may go to sleep tonight knowing you are now better than you were yesterday.

As to saving for retirement, you can live on love, but you can’t retire on it. I get all the rest, but never want to be a burden on the people I love.

[@emperorlelouch5696]

Wow. I've listened to Alan Watts before and it's been some really good stuff but this one really got me thinking even more when thinking of looking deep into someone's eyes and seeing the self. I got chills.

[@indiraghai7972]

Thank u god for ur wondrous gift of life

I could listen to Alan speak Shakespeare for the rest of my life and wouldn’t experience a wasted day.

It’s all maya and maya is good. “I work. I eat. I rest. I am at peace. It is good.” ~Kwai Chang Kaine

[@justinzwaan6704]

Maya is the key to Nirvana. To witness what remains first we must witness what disappears…. Everything that comes and goes is not real… But all of this is always observed, this observer is what remains and has always been, and will always be….

" Tomorrow do they worst, for I've lived my best today .. " as the saying goes . .

Crazy how relevant this is decades later. His teachings are truly timeless.

This actually thoroughly depresses me

Allan sounds giddy with joy on this video. Such a treasure to hear . Thanks for putting it up🙏

[@gottasay4766]

But when I’m falling off a precipice, I don’t want to take those I support and love with me, in my case my cherished four legged family, just because of my whim.

[@Bungaroosh]

I see everything as falling together, not apart. But then,everything is how you look at it.

[@inspireAS]

Everything ephemeral, that is having a beginning and an end, such as... EVERYTHING you see, is definitely falling apart (in due time).

If you really read the quote over From the poem that he's reciting from william shakespeare it sounds like a spell And it seems like this poem is in Tune with time - These our actors, As I foretold you, were all spirits and Are melted into air, into thin air: And, like the baseless fabric of this vision, The cloud-capp'd towers, the gorgeous palaces, The solemn temples, the great globe itself, Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, ...

Thank our masters for dealing with the weak ones around us. The ones who cry about the government, the wef, the powers that be, the over breeders, the over eaters, the talentless and the attention deprived, the thief and the snitch, the self righteous and the dreamer, the fake girls and boys, the fsgs, the abusers, the quick to judge and the slow to act, the greedy and the peasant. Anyone who is a stray dog In the middle is the golden path; forget the squabble and go your own way 😂

@Gary Francis Has nothing to do with not being able to hear and understand Alan Watts. I'm a lover of music. That said, I prefer to allow someone's else words & insight to provoke new thoughts/ideas & subsequently change ones perception than I do to allow music to dictate mood. I just place higher value on the substance of the material being presented. Especially when it comes to material like this. This would be much more powerful IF the music was more subtle.

[@abeiswaykooler]

Nobody asked.

[@careless3241]

Is what it is, dont waste time sweating meaningless stuff. Music, no music, either way just try to pay attention 😆. There's hours of lectures to choose from and I'm sure there's a copy of this one with no music already made somewhere on youtube. Take your pick and play nice kids
