To me, nothing is more completely comforting than when Alan chuckles. So warm and accepting.

[@davenelson4334]

To me, it's completely frightening in the greatest sense.

ABSOLUTELY....PRICELESS, MY DEEPEST GRATITUDE MR. WATTS

[@aug.jam.1]

I was literrally sick of stress, even had some organs removed due stress, until I started listening to talks from Alan Watts while under influence of psychedelics (5-MeO-DMT) I had an enlightenment. Since then there is not much I worry about anymore, I'm living more in the now than in the past or future, no longer afraid of death or being sick anymore and most of the stress I had has fallen away. My severe depression is no longer present and the need for opiates to control my pain and antidepressants were also no longer necessary. Some people don't like what I became, especially doctors and some close people, but I now see it is all just a big unnecessary game we're trying to play or is being played for us, and I'm done with this toxic game 😊 I hope more people finally get to see it. It's so liberating ❤

[@ajya462]

This is a giant change that doesn’t really happen very often. But I’m sure I don’t need to tell you that. Congratulations!

[@aug.jam.1]

@@ajya462 yeah I know.. I was the most skeptic person that you could think of before all this happened lol, zero spirituality, not believing in anything, blaming myself and anyone else for everything that happened to me. Such a sick way of living really, I have so much clarity now, it's amazing. Sure I dont consider myself enlightened but definitely much more than I was before 😄 thanks for your message, much love! ❤️

[@nnajidaveed9896]

Bless you my friend ❤

[@aug.jam.1]

@nnajidaveed9896 thank you so much ❤️ wishing you the best

[@user-nt4nm4fb3u]

Self realization(Truth realization/God realization) :- "You know it's a game yet playing for the sake of playing" means you're an enlightened being. This is the ultimate way of living...You're just going to be an absolute presence(no seriousness, yet fully involving with full clarity in whatever the karma you perform). This real way of living(absolute presence at the present moment) is bliss, ecstasy & enjoyable moment to moment regardless of whatever the drama happening around.

[@lhntr2]

But I interpreted as like he said its a “bad” thing to realize it but yet doing it anyways (playing for the sake of playing it.) I do that but how do you not do that? How do you realize but also stop playing it? I do not know how to stop not playing it

[@sanjaykhanka2028]

You cant...but its not bad too, thats a progression n u cant force urself into not playing, it has to be natural n spontaneous as (your) knowing had happened

[@iannyongesa-th9ks]

​@linnh940 What i think is once we awaken and realise its a game we have to keep playing it but all a new by re- experiencing everything we took for granted while asleep We also keep playing the game to learn to balance all aspects such as our ego that was in control for so long as well as bring our loved ones to light

If only Alan Watts could see New York on this very day (August 5th, 2023). Philosophy can, and wil drive an individual insane, but to me it is worth the risk in order to at least accept this realm. I don't know what anything, or anyone is TRULY. I don't know me truly. We must Accept the illusions of hope, but yet still practice hope that we may enjoy multiple sides of "reality". None of us is just "One something".

Zen master Linji said to the monks: "My teaching today is about the value of words. They can be nasty or beautiful, well-arranged or disorganized, encouraging, melodramatic, pious, wise teachings, and whatever, but they are mere mouth farts. Oh! monks, would you like to carry in your mind the filth of others having already your own?"

“ if you were to take a step back from Normalized perception and view out side the box , will there still be a game ? “ - Magus Bebo

[@Paul.Montreal.Canada]

Will there still be a you?

[@ds3965]

After knowing all this, the game is still so hard to play, absurd, and filled with suffering

[@Paul.Montreal.Canada]

I find comfort on this front by realizing that those who suffer under the gun of the rich who will forever need and want more have their role to play in this game, and the greatest thing you can do is honor the role they play in the game they are watching. This "watching" part pulls them out of the game whether they know it or not and if you know the person they usually respond with joyfulness when you come into the room. Life is meant to be lived and enjoyed and honoring someone else's role as they "watch" themselves play the game, is giving life to what you see, complete with free will. In turn the harmful stuff falls away and the player becomes transformed out of victimhood, and your vision of them changes to an active player.

[@daolso9268]

Not sure I know what you mean, but knowing the rich suffer the same as the poor doesnt mean much to me, the rich have much more security

Small children there is no tommorrow, or yesterday. There is just the now. We cannot survive in the now because of the consequences of tommorrow. Minds exist in a left field full of right script. This is more right script. Right script, if adopted on a collective scale becomes an ism. It is an ambition in some to have an ism named after them. It signifies acceptance at a wider level. That is a Barthes ism by the way.

Just stumbled upon your channel ,the content reflects all that I have said in the past, Is my belief that we have to be this way to survive in this environment of high cost of living , we see those misfits as being out of the system and free but without homes and money …. It’s capitalism , but other system like socialism sounds a bit better on paper, but then comes corruption.
