The Power of Letting Go - Alan Watts on Life And Death

[@dmackenzie3528]

"We cannot be more sensitive to pleasure without being more sensitive to pain." - Alan Watts

[@luisaapostol2414]

When I swim and when I dance I crumble, then fall, then come alive again. It's splendid!

[@KillTeamHungary]

Of all the Alan Watts videos I have seen in my life, this spoke to me the most. Thank you!

i cannot deny it. it was easier to be stronger against death when I was younger. Now I am 41. I fear it. Need this reminder.

[@terryjross1184]

Nothing to fear 41 just starting to be an adult Enjoy

If I might add my two cents. I'm there two😂...in all seriousness take a look at the philosophy of the solar body. Your magnetic body. It helps to have an idea like a map of sorts, to know that we are possibly changing to the next body from this one. Wu Wei leads to the next stage the heart or solar existence.

[@ogre706]

Why do you fear it?

[@yoursubconscious]

@@ogre706 - (i happen to be on youtube - quick response) - Dunno, I guess I feel I need to accomplish a few things (kids, house, dumb money) basically things I never seemed to worry about until recent. I wanna "shake it off" or just "cope". Though the brain just wants to run. 🫠 (listening to rap, likely why the slang haha🙂‍↔️)

..."if in the course of life, you die before you die physically, if you accept the fact that you're completely disintegrating and there is nothing you can do to hold onto yourself and nothing you can do to be saved, you come alive"

[@rolandkoczka7895]

The born like the death is the most common scenario in our life, each birth in this Live and each death. I have lived through these scenarios, the live before a was a nother person. This is the Tao ☯️ 😇 Thank you! 🙏

[@ivonnecolon8471]

Since millions of years people that have already died , died and the universe is still here alive. Not true nothing is falling apart. We are part of a living universe God. Stop being so negative. Do not lose your time being negative and pesimist. Be happy to be part of a living universe, energy God

[@ArthurM1863]

Just as you can say everything is falling apart you can say also that everything comes to life. Its the two sides of the same coin, you cannot have one without the other as Alan said million of times. The reality is that for something to come to life, other thing must fall apart, so everything is in fact falling apart and at the same time life is constantly renewing itself.

[@ForesterOchieng]

I think Alan Watt helps us to understand that the negative is just part of life and it shouldn't bring us down but live with the flow which makes you be at a better position, as the universe/God takes its course. Everything that has got a front has got it's back

[@kimberlysmith7311]

Lol, you can't tell Alan not to be negative because he's been dead for years lmao❤ !!! The message of this to me is same as Serenity prayer 🙏

Damn this made me cry. In a good way though

[@AngieStewart]

The only thing scary about death is how afraid everyone is to talk about it.

[@Control-Alt-Delete619]

Can we please not talk about it. ⚰️🍻🇺🇲

[@danielkinney6325]

I think a lot of people are scared of suffering a horrible death. My music minister was a beautiful lady of god. The doctors gave her a pill that made her gain weight. She looked like a model. It also made her suffer 6 years then she asked her son who became her pastor WHY was GOD DOING THIS TO ME ? That was hard for me to hear. She recorded music could sing and play the Hammond B3 & the piano and died way too soon. I think a lot of us are very scared of suffering. They are POISONING OUR FOOD AND DRINKS we are buying from the stores. Chemicals are in everything. That’s why there are hospitals on every corner and drug stores on every corner. We are living in a time that no one grows their garden in the back yard any more. My parents grew a nice garden. Once you start eating chemical laced foods and drinks you’re going to get sick sooner or later and all we can do is pray we die in our sleep. I’m not scared of death I’m scared of suffering. I believe humans should have the right to be treated like we do animals when they are sick we end their suffering. It is very inhumane to allow suffering. You won’t get it until you are suffering. I get it. I’ve seen it. People getting sick because of the WHO THE GOV THE FOOD AND DRUG COMPANIES are all making us sick slowly but surely do we live on a merry go round rude you cannot get off. Stop buying foods laced with chemicals. Start trying to get off SUGAR that is making everyone sick fat !!! Watch the doc FAT SICK AND NEARLY DEAD.

@ivonnecolon8471 Did you listen to it properly? I think you're missing the point.

By George i think he's got something there . . . or here.

[@anthonyandrews7053]

My father's name was George! He loved pie. Gooseberry Cobbler with whipped goat cream was his favorite. though.

[@piehound]

@@anthonyandrews7053 ALRIGHT. Thumbs up. That's something we all need to know.

[@donaldsloan4943]

When I die I want to know it. It will be the last thing I will experience. I don't want to miss it.

[@EchoesWeaved]

I fear not death nor any man who claims to bring it to me.

[@George_Orwell]

Everything has an expiration date.

[@BNJA5M1N3]

This was what Jesus was trying to demonstrate for us to follow. That to gain life you must first lose it. I have never felt more free than after surrendering to the loss of all my roles as it happened outside of me. The way I look forward to my final release is with such relief and joy because I am. This illusion, including my physical body, has been nothing short of a burden, although necessary for some time.

I just do not understand the need for background music. It is so distracting annoying and foolish to add a musical track to a speech. Imagine a scenario where Alan Watts has been invited to speak in a large room filled with people and as soon as he begins to speak, you turn up the stereo and play some music. Where is the sense in that?

[@User007RD]

Preference. Love the music myself

[@d.sfilms7677]

These lectures are all available without music. This channel is specifically tailored to a KZbin video presentation with editing and music. I personally find it is more accessible to an audience who likes to be stimulated more

[@jayc3110]

@@d.sfilms7677 thanks... I have seen those. They specifically state "No Music", which I prefer... Best wishes.

[@HomelessNinjaKennedy]

​@@jayc3110 The music is distracting. Some people enjoy it when there is music to help them know what to feel, other people prefer to listen to the lessons without the emotional coaxing. I think it's a good sign that you prefer learning and pondering without music.

[@chrisevans8694]

It sets a mood for people,, I think what is being said is better than hearing the music,,,,, Isn't it strange?How all advertisements have the right vibe of music behind a product or whatever, Frequency,,,, Everyone wants to pull you their direction with music😢
