And the truly mind-blowing thing about Alan's teaching, is when we listen to him we are not really learning. It's already in us. We have just forgotten. We can't help but resonate.

Yes, what a great voice to remind us of ourselves as we've taught or learned these things along the way. Still he has opened up so many things. Love him

I had a life changing experience not so long ago, and the way I looked at the world changed completely. Not just my values and ideals, but literally the way it looked is different. It's tough to convey to others, but it's somewhere between seeing the world through a third person perspective, and seeing my life as an infinite series of slides. I can't pretend things matter anymore. I can't go back to the way I used to be. I feel shell shocked, looking around at the world, with the veil lifted for the first time. I grapple with the idea that maybe I have had a psychotic break, that maybe I'm crazy or delusional, but I feel lucid, reasonable. It's as though I was navigating life as a maze, and suddenly I've been lifted over the walls, and can see the whole thing from above. It makes exploring the maze seem psychotic. It makes looking for purpose, happiness within the maze seem silly. In any sense, Alan Watts helps me feel comfortable with this revelation. Maybe the world looks very different to me, now, but that's okay. Throughout my life I will have many understandings of the world around me, some more useful, some less. Either way, peace, compassion, and thoughtfulness are admirable principles, and to work towards a better understanding of my own mind is a worthwhile quest. Thanks to Watts and the community.

I felt that the ego is the third person idea. When I listened to Watts I felt that I had up to now constantly been seeing myself from the third person, but that the real me is the subjective experience itself, pure "first person consciousness" that suffuses all life, the "I Am" of God/Atman.

'This is where we are at right now, as a whole. No one is left out of the loop. We are experiencing a reality based on a thin veneer of lies and illusions. A world where greed is our God and wisdom is sin, where division is key and unity is fantasy, where the ego-driven cleverness of the mind is praised, rather than the intelligence of the heart.'

I am a culmination of the holy spirit evident in the eye of I and the Spirit of Truth since birth. The Spirit Of Truth is evident in the Eye of the Beholder and those who know "I" resides in Heaven on Earth as Earth is part of the Heavenly abode of Heaven itself and should be honored with utmost respect by day and by night.

When there’s a disagreement, someone will inevitably, most likely, be disappointed in me. So I engage in any and every disagreement in a way that ensures, that the person disappointed in me, never ends up being me! I aim to never repress, never suppress. I aim to never lose a part of myself. Radical honestly only: 100% of time. Always, all ways.

Some people say we live in a matrix, or a holographic universe. The better analogy would be, that we are living “as a reflection”. As a reflection of source(or God). ONE cannot know the color of ONE’s own eyes without observing oneself in a reflection. The reflection gives the illusion that two exist, thus giving ONE the ability to observe itself. To become aware of the color of ONE’s own eyes.

Place a mouse in front of a mirror and your cat will believe there are two mice. As with humans, they believe there is two, a heaven and an earth.

PEACE AND LOVE TO ALL

Consciousness reflecting upon itself, gives consciousness to the reflection. Like looking in a mirror and your reflection comes to life. Both sides of the mirror are both the source and the reflection. Nothing exists unless there is something else to observe it. Reflection is the only way to create another you, if you are the only one that exists. This is how ONE can become TWO, in order to bring the ONE into existence.

Thank you for providing this wonderful lecture for us.

Personally, when I use the article "I" in speech, it's used in such a way that the audience listening associates the concept being explained or the story being told as something personal. The article "I" is used as a frame of reference for the listener, so that they understand the data that follows is a personal interpretation of an experience rather than a repetition of an external influence. "I" is just a trigger word to symbolize it comes from within, rather than the world itself

Consciousness pervades the universe. We have antennas called brains that can tap into different levels of it. As we evolve, we develop potentials for greater realizations of that One consciousness. We develop concepts of it, all kinds of philosophies and systems of belief, but we always fall short of an accurate identification. Its potentials are limitless and the value, the real realization, is to realize that you are a part of it. There is no separation. Since you come from it, you are like a leaf on a cosmic tree and its not just you or a lower form of life... it is every atom in the universe.

Apart from the 'truth' that fried chicken tastes good, in any larger sense, what is truth? Does the collective discernment of 8 billion people create a picture of what truth looks like, or can be examined by the human senses? And the chances that everyone would agree? If you don't know what it looks like how could you be aware of it should you happen to stumble across it in the deep woods or in a cave? What an impossible dilemma. You're looking for something and don't even know what it is beyond the meaning of a plate of food or some sort of physical or psychological orgasm. How does one overcome the fact that most truth is a lie and most people like it that way.
