I have listened to this several times and realized that the only way to have grace is to believe that you have received it, and it is so. I can't explain why, but it works

For me, this is Watts's best lecture.

2:21:50 is actually hilarious and I can’t believe no one laughed. It was not the laurel bush that smelled. It was the zen master who didn’t hold back his fart😂😂😂. This is my best lecture of Alan Wats. The secret to liberation is to realize that you are already free🙏❤️

Yea, this is a great one. I havent heard it in a while. Thanks for posting🔱

Maybe one of Alan’s most currently relevant talks

Alan Watts is such a legend of his time, becoming more popular as time goes on x

Yes, indeed. Divested of grace as we are. Us foul tarnished, we dead who yet live. We must rise up.

letting go of the arrow without thinking about it! in the 1970's i first threw a bowl on a wheel; it was gorgeous and i thought it was so easy. i smashed the bowl back into a ball and could never get another one again. Beginners luck!

People fall from grace because they have lost faith

Saving this

Brilliant ❤

I always chuckle at a “coexist” sticker. It’s more of the same. One person compelling another’s will from some false moral high ground.

Not sure I understand your statement. Wouldn't the idea of the "coexist" be more about tolerance than taking a higher than thou stance? Now if you're speaking of the "one up-manship" of assuming one is taking a higher stance because they are more tolerant than someone or others... even though that's presumptuous you'd have a stronger argument. Anyone that stands back or over and points and thinks or says "those people" are the ones who're lost or fooling themselves. At least a collective has the excuse of serving the whole even if selective, which isn't wrong or negative in it's nature. The lack of consciousness of action is the only merky thing about that but anyone who thinks they have a higher anything is the one that needs to look in the mirror and see where they can improve their overwhelming and unchecked ego. Having an opinion is lower level thinking and making presumptuous statements on top of an opinion that is easily undone is even lower thinking. Not having a "better" or ultimatum is the higher level of evolutionary consciousness that seekers and knowers have a responsibility to exercise. That said stop being so damn judgemental over a bumper sticker and project thankfulness and hope that the driver really lives tolerance. Imagine a life of tolerance and how the world being more tolerant and accepting would be. Perhaps we'd work together more instead of judging and condemning one another 🙏🏻 Too many examples of that going on in the world and causing more chaos and instability. Why perpetuate more of that?

The meaning of the bumper sticker is wonderful! However it is the car owners opinion and a presumption Which he is advertising. assuming other people need a reminder of this That's one upmanship . It s a passive way to give an opinion.

20.21 when he talks about too much virtue and a mass of a million saints , I chucked at what he would think today and during the pandemic with all the virtue signallers

Repentance is a renewing of your mind, so changing the way you think, therefore, the way you live. From grace through faith in Jesus, you are saved. God gives grace so no man can boast and say he was saved by his accord, and this way, God always gets the glory. To whom much is given much is required. This includes knowledge and information. There is only one way that leads to life and that is the narrow path We are all sinners yes and the wage of sin is death so either you die for your sin or believe Jesus died for them this way not only is your sin defeated by him but death because he rose from the dead giving eternal life to whoever believes and follows him

It is funny when someone is so convinced of something they could never know if it happened or not. That is one of the difficulties where Christianity is flawed and loses its argument. By faith not actions... and with so many sects of Orthodox Christianity/Catholicism that go by actions then there's the holier than thou difficulty. Who would really follow that mold or model? A follower would, not a free thinking human. If one bases such limited thinking towards an entity as in this case, "a" or "the" God, then through the eyes of a "sinner" or imperfect being cannot judge anyone. Please tell me how one is justified and given authority to judge anyone, anything and any time? Quoting texts that are politically ancient and written, spliced and promoted by men who had a stake in pushing an agenda in a time and place that isn't relevant today nor was it to an entire world when they were written, how can anyone that follows those teachings not also see and consider that? That's called ignorance isn't it? Dumb, stupid or ignorant, there is a responsibility to understand especially when imposing judgement. Be well great judging human and good luck with that. Hopefully the world will stop breeding people that think they know the spiritual cosmos when they don't even know this planet and all its beautifully different and diverse peoples 🙏🏻✌🏻

Pretty much a goody goody here , not perfect but virtues and morality and natural law compass embodiment. Here to let you know that experience is an evil teacher and we aren't born like this, but actually had to make every possible mistake and carry that weight until the Catholic guilt stopped. About 30 years.
