We All Learn It Too Late - Alan Watts On The Illusion Of Control

An inspirational and profound speech from the late philosopher Alan Watts.
Original Audio sourced from: “Alan Watts - Our Self - Destructive Nature"
Video Produced and Edited by T&H Inspiration
“The alternative to self-love is self-destruction. Because you won’t take the risk of loving yourself properly, you will be compelled instead to destroy yourself. So which would you rather have?.”

Had a horrible shit day, and this speech just totally realigned my entire being as silly as that sounds

[@johnharrison7176]

Doesn't sound silly at all 😊

[@knoxalike1]

what a wonderful sign from the universe

Only through shit does one come out clean.

Good deal.. Hang in there..its i the past now.

[@damonbeddingfield2958]

Hang in there man. Always know, there are people all around that relate to, can explain experience, have felt, are feeling or have already moved on from everything you go through.

[@jdt2003]

I wish every human could stumble upon Alan Watts

[@Suroshi89]

I couldnt have agreed more, i am happy i came across his content couple of years a go

[@darrylschultz9395]

That would require a clone of his corpse to be placed outside the front door of everyone's home. And what would be gained?

[@cecilcharlesofficial]

been twelve years now and I still listen to him pretty much every day

after this video, I realised how resisting I am. i always have a reason to not do anything. i need to change that attitude and have to go with the flow

When you think you've got it, you don't. When you realize you don't have it at all, then you're on the way to understanding. When you understand that you can never have it because it's you, then by golly You've got it.

I adore his laugh.

I'll try my best to remember this next time the next blllrlllp is about to happen, and hopefully laugh as life begins again.

[@knoxalike1]

grateful for this video, the universe loves us all

[@tannhauser5399]

@knoxalike1 - Considering the state of the planet, powerty, wars, famine, lack of resources, modern slavery (which stil exists to this day), dying of whole ecosystems in the name of future profits and next year stock market price, and most of all greed... I would say that the "Universe" simply doesn't care. All you can do is live, or try to live as best as you can, and maybe if you are lucky, grow internaly as a human being. But nothing more. Like the saying goes, at the end of the game: king and pawn go back to the same box. So make the best of it.

[@Daron1133]

@@tannhauser5399 Ahh.. I feel like that too sometimes. I'm sure ALOT of us do. Our lives are so minute in the scale of time. On the other hand, if there never was any Bad how would we ever recognize and appreciate the good. But yes... I would say we are alive at a very strange time

[@YOUARESOFT.]

@@tannhauser5399 you are getting played like a fiddle. this planet is currently at its most docile state in human existence, . turn off the tv, you are doing it wrong, you are losing.

[@Nature_Consciousness]

​@@tannhauser5399And the universe is doing all of this, it aways did and we aways prevailed in the end, the world is clearly materially much better than in his own time. If people stopped with your negative pessimistic attitude, they wouldnt do what they do anymore, pessimism drives all of this, and you necessarily cannot be pessimistic because of that. Suffering is illusory, problems are illusory, and this necessarily includes this feeling that they are real, but we dont realize how we are reaching at a climax where after that everything is gonna be great. Trust in the universe, our own values arent distinct from it and everything will be great in 10 years from now.

Well I don't want to get hurt. Because it hurts. That is my resistence and my anxiety...

[@edith8349]

So you choose to live in with anxiety and fear rather than to LIVE?? I suppose no need to ask, but I will. Do you enjoy the way you live? No need to answer. Thats for you to think about.

[@fabiankaufmann6213]

@@edith8349 I think if I were more comfort-able otherwise I would just live otherwise..

[@edith8349]

@@fabiankaufmann6213 comfort-able and resistence and anxiety are very different things. You probably high as kite because you do not have any sense of what you are saying. Or you just talk out of your ass. Or you simply cant even make sense for any other reason. Maybe you just simply choose to be a victim. I would say its the latter.

Frequency | free copy | X at BooksMcClelland | Intro - In the vibrant landscapes of India, Paxton, an Englishman on a soul-searching journey, stumbled upon an ancient spiritual enclave. There, amidst the whispers of the wind and the aroma of incense, he experienced a profound revelation. He sensed that humanity existed in a dormant state, akin to a collective dream. Paxton’s newfound awareness led him to understand that humans vibrated at an extraordinarily low frequency. However, glimpses of a future unfolded before his eyes-a future where human frequency would ascend exponentially. This ascent promised a realm of unimaginable possibilities
