An inspirational and profound speech on What Is Happening from the late philosopher Alan Watts. Original Audio sourced from: “Alan Watts - Not What Should Be Pt. 2"
Video Produced and Edited by T&H Inspiration
“Things are as they are. Looking out into the universe at night, we make no comparisons between right and wrong stars, nor between well and badly arranged constellations.” - Alan Watts. (1915 - 1973)

T&H Inspiration is on a mission to share inspiring wisdom. The goal is to have you pause, think, and reflect. Many of our videos revolve around the extraordinary teachings of Alan Watts that we produce with permission from the Alan Watts Electronic University.
T&H also films and releases original interviews with iconic people who have experienced successes, while also persevering through life's highs and lows. We look forward to sharing more of these perspectives and insights.
Our hope with these videos is to push your thinking. As Alan Watts said “No one is more dangerously insane than one who is sane all the time: he is like a steel bridge without flexibility, and the order of his life is rigid and brittle.” - Alan Watts.

Imo if overly depressed or anxious then usually is because of lack of good organic food,aerobic exercise dictionary reading, music, conversation, animal time, chants, etc.

[@mikefoster5277]

@@mateoreyes4235 Good question! I think Lao tzu's original comment was a somewhat generalized and simplistic overview of things - so true in a sense, but not necessarily so technically speaking. He appears to be referring more to the person's immediate state of mind more than anything else. But of course, there's the physical body to take into account also, with its more ingrained energy patterns. So you're right - a depressed person could be anxious at any given moment, and perhaps even the other way round as well.

@@ivanrowe2880 I have not thought about an equation that represents Spirit, per se. That would require a subjective conclusion. I make no conclusions. My research provides implication in equation form, in some examples. The mind must be capable to recognize these implications. "Spiritual growth is cognitive growth." m.scott peck, The Road Less Traveled. Meaningful? How would you formulate this in an equation? An equation meaningful to me, and mindboggling if one cannot apprehend Spirit: 2c + 191.5349 = X X is my daughter's birthtime relative to a full year, relative to my birthtime. When we met, I lived at 915 and my wife lived at 5349. If you draw a circle at each location that intercepts 1.915349 km, you will define the location where Floyd died. We lived in Minneapolis when we met. On March 18, the anniversary of our first meeting, is 23.44 years after we bought our current home. 2c = 44(hexadecimal). This is our 44th year together.

I noticed an immediate resistance inside when Alan said "We are used to seeing things from a perspective of Subject and Object, this meaning that when there is a verb in a sentence, there also needs to be a Subject, there needs to be the one who is perceiving it" and I immediately thought: How could that ever be possible? But it hit me... What if there is really no subject? Our need to have a "subject" stems from our ego mind, our conditioning that has taught us that we are separate from the outter world. Our ego mind wanting to separate itself from oneness, but if we really look into it, everything is interconnected. Like the cells in our body. Every cell is different, but a single cell wouldn't make sense if you don't embed it in the context of a body. And God/the universe is to us, like a body is to a single cell.

“And then we get this strange feeling that we have never had in our lives.. that we are no longer this poor little stranger and afraid in this world it never made, but that you are this universe, and you are creating it at every moment.” To me, this video is about the exciting future that we are finally willing into existence. What a time to be alive! Choose an exciting disruptive future over the same old status quo. Crypto is a weapon that we can choose to use, to take back the power that is ours.

Learn to live in the moment, live in the now instead of looking too far back and looking too far ahead. We tend to create worry, and anxiety within ourselves when we do try to control the mind. Sit in silence let thoughts come and go & watch how quiet the mind becomes. ❤

The genuine meditation. Accepting knowing and feeling without the limitations of I know and I feel. Not the constant separating that comes with ANY identity, physical OR spiritual. A great video for those who claim they "can't" meditate. There is a reason we continue to listen to Alan Watts.

you forfeit your ego? and become what? nothing. go on. id say you(your ego) exists for a purpose, find it and fulfill it. existence is not a matter of random chance. there is reason and purpose.

[@-KorruptionOfLight-]

The now is always elusive, because you're surrounded by a plethora of stimuli that brings into focus, the past taint and the future promise. So much of the modern life is geared up to instill a permeant state of unhappiness. I'm trying to be happy. I really am. I can only ever speak for myself, but this is only the first step and the steps will keep happening until we are no more.

[@dak2450]

'the past taint and the future promise' I've never heard this before. It's powerful. . . And so true👍

[@johnnykay7411]

This new world was never intended to be birthed in peace and tranquility, but in the very strife and turmoil that destroys the old systems before the peace can be realized. Be prepared to be at peace with yourself first so the newer world will come from inside you where it's always been, knowing your purpose now is to survive and make it so.

Ohh, that where they got the idea to call people gathering at a park “A Happening” Allen Watts is actually a hero for waking so many people up during a time in American History when the Innocence of America was lost and began to be replaced by “Innersense”. In order to live an awesome life and to become fearless one must know their Innersense is the true guide to peace.

[@Azure4Shore]

Thank you very much for creating this... ever since I initially discovered Alan Watts over a year ago in college, I greatly admire listening to his lectures and his uplifting philosophical outlook about life and the nature/duality of our physical reality. All that matters is this present moment, the eternal beautiful now!

[@bobdillaber1195]

I discovered him about a year ago too. I guess I've been preparing to hear his message all my life. I've been seeking this understanding all my life. He helped me realize I actually knew it all the time but didn't know I knew it. That encourages me to trust and honor my "now being" even more. I'm just short of 82 years old and glad I've been able to stick around long enough to understand this. It gives me peace.

[@DagolarFly]

This is one of those discussions that on one level sound, sounds brilliantly wise and in tune with a greater understanding. On another level, what it appears to be, is addressing the reality of one layer of beingness....while another layer is not being accounted for...and then that this is taken as the totality of what's going on. "It's just an idea" as a summation of what is going on doesn't cut it. It's like Alan Watts wanted to boil it down and say that everything that is quiet, simple, and in there here and now - that's reality. But anything more noisy and complicated, like language and words and so on, is not. One layer is reality. One layer is not. No. Both are. We, as individual selves, separated beings, identities, whatever you want to call the functioning components of our experiences over time.....have choice. We always have choice. You may not be able to choose how your irises and retinas process incoming light. But you CAN choose to close your eyes. Now, if Watts is saying that even the choice that you do have available to you is not really you and is merely part of a greater mechanism, I would fundamentally have to disagree on that because of the consequences that pertain to choice, and the responsibility in that. We are not just all the interconnected everything. We are not just the separated materialistic body. We are both. We are, in consciousness, the "bridge" between one and the other, which includes and encompasses both. That....is the reality. With that, comes choice, responsibility, and a whole lot more. I think Watts' take here is good for people who are unaware of, or refuse to acknowledge, the silent interconnectedness in all things. Without that, you really are running under the delusion that such a thing doesn't exist, and you will be (un)pleasantly surprised with that point of view when you die.
