It Will Give You Goosebumps - Alan Watts on Falling in Love

[@rossquirke]

Alan Watts may have the greatest mind of his generation. His lectures have transformed my life in ways I cannot describe.

[@Shindai]

I think he'd agree that YOU transformed your life, he only asked the right questions to keep your mind busy while you looked for the road. And that's no disrespect to Alan, he's spoken of tatva masi before. It was all you, friend :)

[@rossquirke]

@@Shindai damn what a beautiful beautiful way to put things 🥺 literally almost made me choke up man!! Thanks for the insight

[@MrSchuriI]

Hey man that's nice to hear. What did you change or how did it transform your life? I'm curious

[@TemoteControl]

@@Shindai well said.

[@rossquirke]

@@MrSchuriI that’s a really tough question to put into a small space like here. But in the best way I can say that my overall understanding of life and death, workings of my own mind etc have hit a point I never thought I would ever come close to. I think I have a peace in my heart I would not have without his teachings.

[@mariangelfrancoespinosa8717]

People are wrong when they say that loving is difficult, what is really difficult is being WILLING to truly love because everyone needs love and longs to be loved but only some are WILLING to love. When you have the will, love will be easy and intuitive for you.

[@Bronte866]

Respectfully, maybe you are referring to your own unwillingness to love. People often say “we” when it’s actually themselves. But you are right - many are unwilling to love because their caretakers did not truly love them. People are very terrified of realizing that their parents did not truly love them and will not accept it even though that’s where it starts. Humans are not the finest creatures on this planet. I am very loving and very willing to love but it is very difficult to find others who are able to love. Many see those who are loving as weak, as prey to harm & destroy. And this makes it all even worse.

[@helenafranca4077]

I give my love freely but receiving love I find hard to accept. My Mother told me when I was a young girl that I would die a lonely old Woman. I didn't believe her. I'm now 66 and so far it's true. Not so much lonely, but alone with no family. My Mother didn't show me any love so maybe I think I don't deserve it. But deep down I believe every one deserves it. I've only recently discovered Alan Watts. Very encouraging words of wisdom. ,

Nostalgia - its delicate, but potent. Teddy told me that in Greek nostalgia literally means “the pain from an old wound.” It’s a twinge in your heart far more powerful than memory alone. This device isn’t a spaceship, it’s a time machine. It goes backwards, and forwards… it takes us to a place where we ache to go again. It’s not called the wheel, it’s called the carousel. It let’s us travel the way a child travels - around and around, and back home again, to a place where we know we are loved. Don Draper

[@arthurradley4423]

I pray for your patience and for God to be with you always. I felt like you described after my wife and I divorced after 11 1/2 yrs. Our girls were 2 and 4 and they stayed with me in our divorce and I've raised them on my own ever since. Fixing to be 10 and 12, I don't know where time goes. Almost 6 yrs ago I met a very Beautiful girl who was going thru a divorce and 6 yrs later she's still going thru it. We're totally committed to one another but we've never lived under one roof in the six yrs. She has 2 kids as well. With us in separate houses and raising 4 kids with activities it's almost like we never see one another. I feel if I hadn't gotten involved with her i would have already met the one God had for me. I was single when we met. In the last 2yrs I've thought seriously about ending it, but I never have the courage too. The thought of it makes me sick. I don't want to go thru what I've been thru already but I don't want to loose this point in my life to try and meet someone that's more available and wanting too start a life under one roof and have a life together. I'm almost 45 and time isn't going backwards. Relationships are hard. May God bless you

[@heatherbartlett3148]

​@arthurradley4423 I am single for this very reason. I'd rather be fulfilled on my own than devote myself to someone who isn't 100% devoted to me. I trust my intuition more than ever. Humans have a built-in "compass" to steer us in the right direction, but too many people ignore it. I learned the hard way to NEVER ignore those red flags. But I'm truly grateful for the life lesson! Please don't ever settle for the sake of not being alone. Once you have enough time on your own to self-reflect and truly grow, it'll take a literal Mrs. Right for you to give up the peace in your solitude! Best of luck to you and your situation! 🫶

It is quite a statement. Some wheels began turning emotionally for me, listening to this.

[@MrCrystalwarrior1]

I learned from a young age to live my life in LOVE, not fear, and that in coming to love my SELF, not myself, I learned to love everyone and everything in my life unconditionally. Many people don't like being around me, as I am always sending love out from myself, and they feel threatened by my energy and philosophy.

[@Palidin13]

Loving SELF is embracing all that makes you unique, the good the bad and the ugly. Loving myself is narcissism. I started loving all people when I was shown that we are all sick in our own ways, and hate only poisons thyself. If people are tending to shy away from you oh, it could be just need to get to know them with a little phatics first before introducing Concepts they're not familiar with period also be careful with jargon it can turn people off quickly. Best wishes Sean

[@MrCrystalwarrior1]

@@Palidin13 I've been told many people don't like being around me because I'm "too positive" for them to deal with, don't allow anyone to talk others down, and don't bow down to the "beautiful" people who think that because they're physically attractive it gives them a license to treat everyone around them badly. I don't tolerate disrespect, narcissism or pretty much any negative behaviour, as I myself used to indulge in certain negative ways when I was younger, mainly due to being bullied by family/teachers and others, and so became quite violent at times. I learned to accept myself and set boundaries, and my life became so much better that I won't turn back on how far I've evolved, and appreciate who I AM, what I have in life, and also what I don't have in life (Such as materialistic ideals, jealousy, addictions to alcohol/drugs etc), and live my life victoriously every day. Most people I meet seem to focus on what they don't have when compared to so-called "celebrities," and so miss out on celebrating so much that they DO have inside themselves. I've met many celebrities over the years, and most of them are deeply unhappy people away from the cameras/limelight. I try every day to make anyone I meet feel better about themselves, which is just my way of trying to make the world a better place to live in. Social media has many trolls following me and making derisive comments about me as a person, yet the very few who've actually met me after posting such comments have found themselves changed after spending time getting to know me and learning that they aren't what they think they are, hiding behind a keyboard.

Keeping you close in prayer .. your suffering never goes unnoticed, those who love you can feel your pain & struggles .. Unfortunately my wife died in Oct 2013 . My little girl was starting school for the first time back then & I had no clue how life would play out . I don’t want to bore you with a long drawn out spill but I promised myself I wouldn’t fall in love again because 10 years before marriage I was in a DUI crash that killed my high school heart .. After a few years of cussing God out every chance ever given it took years away from my life . Such vivid nightmares of the two of us trapped in my Mustang .. In having ptsd,the putrid smells of death & chaos surround me each night …. If we can’t beat it learn to love it , welcome the pressure , the constant state of panic and be comforted by what no one els can handle.. Is it possible?? I don’t know ?? Im working on it & probably will be for years to come , alive with my little girl graduating high school next year ptsd will suffer from me .. Unknowing how life will play out still, I do know the breath in my lungs pisses the devil off to know end cause he almost had me 3 times now so if he wants it , he will have to earn it .. Yesterday’s mistakes shouldn’t affect tomorrow and its decisions .. I don’t presume to know the pain you may feel, I don’t know what you are facing talking to someone who might be able to relate is always progress.. May God Bless you & your burdens. Keep the fight going Aiden .. Praying for you in FL God Bless

Love Everything and Everyone of Any Nature.

[@UP4OFFER]

I like what you are suggesting however LOVE and PAIN are most definitely not the same thing. Pain can lead to love and love may lead to pain but they do not share the same description. If what you love is causing you pain then I suggest it is not an ideal fit unfortunately. Love heals pain, pain does not heal love. See what happened there? I hope this helps you in some manner further understand the spectrums of human emotions. Love is beautiful, delicate even and true love is extremely rare. If found it is to be protected and guarded at ALL costs. As if it were the very essence the universe depended on and would collapse without it. I would die for what I love most, I would also endure pain for it. If I could see fragments of my past lives I believe if it's inbuilt in you those things would never change. ❤️

[@Terry-x2x3r]

Somehow I came across Alan Watts, knew of him, knew the name but unsure who or what he was, and I'm learning about him, listening to some of these videos. His voice really is soothing.

[@toddbuckman3012]

For all you AW fans here, his autobiography is really something else. You’re connection to him will be so much deeper after reading it. You’ll laugh to tears over and over too! In My Own Way is the title

[@happygucci5094]

I will look out for it - What brings me back to Alan Watts is his mischievous, rascaly, impish humor as much as his formidable intellect- he was/is so full of Life.

[@angeljacksonpresents]

I love you always. For real and for true.

We can choose or control who we hate, but we can't choose or control who we love.

Love isn't what I thought it was. After 37 years and many, beautiful relationships and women, I've found someone with whom I can can really be me. Maybe being me will eventually pull us apart but I'm prepared to take that chance. And she loves me for it 🙏

In madness lies sanity.... How true but the reward of pure love is ecstasy and a fulfilled life with your soul mate.

[@hankbringhamsome9694]

LIKE I SAID, A CONNECTION IS THE MOST IMPORTANT AND ENLIGHTENING ACTION WE AS INDIVIDUALS MUST LET HAPPEN IN THIS LIFE ....... PERIOD!! IT MUST HAPPEN OR ONE DOES NOT LIVE!! LIVE FREE IN THE CLOSEST SENSE OF THE WORD FREEDOM!! LOVE IS LOVE 💫🤟🏼🎶♎

4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 1 Cor. 13:4

[@sqvishykilla]

Amen. I love my boyfriend 🥰

Loving the Divine within helps one to truly love another. No expectations, hard to do though a way to avoid suffering from any who do not have their life dedicated to deepening their realization of the Divine.

[@baronpride55]

I truly hope to love someone one day that shares the same feelings as me

To be in love you become. The other person you live for them, you lose yourself,, ...its beautiful but its gut wrenching pain .the burden you carry for them ,the pain. You take on for their behalf i hope everyone finds that kind of love . ❤❤

Selfishness and Love have been in a war since the begin of time. In the 21st century, selfishness has once again slowly, regained the upperhand. Its secret weapon; narcissism.

[@jeffreycooley6537]

I say this all the time about selfishness...It has to be removed to be able to love and succeed

[@GemsbyAnn]

I agree

Grateful, deeply grateful to everyone who is part of making this video- Someone spoke the words, someone chose the words, someone edited the words, someone chose the videos, someone edited the videos, someone played the protagonists in the videos, and many more who remained Unseen ..& YET, they ALL came through as ONE.. ..THAT IS LOVE. Wow!

[@CharlieClark-u7z]

As a 32 year old man whose never been in a relationship or had sex , listening to this has given me hope that I can find someone.

[@joshhumbler4197]

28 here, had sex twice, didn't like it both times. I also never had a girlfriend. Thought maybe i was so depressed that i simply couldn't enjoy sex, but I'm more thinking I just didn't enjoy it because it was with the person i didn't love. Don't just go have sex, to have sex. Have sex with the person you truly love, i believe it's so much better.

[@CharlieClark-u7z]

@joshhumbler4197 I respect your openess, thank you for that. I understand exactly where you're coming from. I like having a strong emotional connection with someone. I've never had that with anyone , whether that be with family or a love interest. I want so bad to just be human with someone and love someone's being , as well as loving their body . The thing is, i don't love myself at all. I'm alive but I'm not living, yet. There's a long story to that. I don't think I'll be able to be in a relationship , let alone a sexual one , until I learn to love and accept myself.

[@joshhumbler4197]

@@CharlieClark-u7z holy shit you sound like me. I don't like myself either, and i don't have any emotions towards family. I take care of my father financially not because i love him but because i simply see it as an obligation for taking care of me when i was a child. He's a huge alcoholic and i hate when he calls cause he's always drunk just asking for more money. My brothers don't bother with him so i don't bother with them. But i feel like i have no human emotions. I simply do just to do. Just know, you ain't the only one who thinks the way you do.

[@CharlieClark-u7z]

@joshhumbler4197 I took care of my sick mother , we were all each other had. I don't have any siblings. My family and me are estranged to a degree because I don't believe in God and all that , also they were very abusive when I was a kid and so I learned early they aren't to be trusted. My father was an alcoholic, abuser and dope fiend. I am just now starting to figure myself out as a person and it is so strange, yet rewarding. The biggest and hardest thing is that I don't have anyone that I can call for help if I'm hurting and what's worse is I don't even have myself. I'm getting there, but i still don't have myself.

[@joshhumbler4197]

@@CharlieClark-u7z i also do not believe in god, and i know the feeling of not being able to call anyone. When i was homeless and when i was in a dark place no one cared, i was a nuisance to them. Now i have a job and my own place every talks about me saying "oh why doesn't he talk to his family, that's wrong" and stuff like that. I myself also drink but I'm a function alcoholic, i just get by day by day.

True love is recognition of another souls direct counterpoint. If you fall in love ONCE in this life?? You have felt something truly magical that so many people never actually experience or feel.
