This man’s words have changed my life to say the least. I did heroin for 22 years and have done way too much time in prison. One way or another the synchronicity brought my path to him. Ty universe almighty

I am currently struggling myself with addiction and have been in and out of jail since I was 16, now 30....at this point am just hoping that one day it kills me outright....the world nowadays is truly a disturbing time to be alive but also an interesting one as well. Drugs(meth) help my ADHD brain to slow down because doctors won't prescribe me ADHD medication that works because I am an addict....see the contradiction and the predicament I am in? If I'm not high my brain goes too fast and won't stop thinking and anymore those thoughts are VERY dark towards myself. So I can't get clean without being properly medicated but I won't be medicated because I use drugs to medicate myself when the doctors won't....FML

Alan Watts is greater than western culture itself for me. No other western Philospher is better than him when it comes to explaining and teaching.

He grew from it tho, meaning that he would not be what he was If there was no western culture.

I so appreciate having access to this life changing material. Thank you for all you do 🙏❤

He is one of my teachers amongst a small group of teachers who where humble enough not to refer to themselves as masters, their students do, that's how you recognize a Master. Nice fact: they recently found out and record how plants communicate through a to the human eye an invisible mist.

One of his best lectures ever?!

Interesting rambles by a modestly focused polymath.

Mark you and your father saved me from inevitable suicide and allowed me to move on and be at peace of my best friends suicide as well please continue to do what you do you’ve made your father so proud and really lived up to his last words in ways he never could have imagined

Bless you, your siblings, relatives for keeping Alan's work out there. You're helping So many folk. Your father is up there with Jesus and Gautama Buddha. Magical messengers *

Amazing talk, one of his best in my opinion and I ve been listening since I was 17 and I am 32 now. We need this now more than ever. Thank you for this Mark, much love!

Now i know why some people Don't watch tv

Greetings all, thank you very much for these recording,l've been listening to Alan words and different prospectives for several years now ,very refreshing to say the least❤🙏

Yep probably saved my life numerous times , certainly saved my minds mental health thousands of times , thank You alan.

Very much before his time ❤

Brilliant! Thank you Alan and Mark 🙂

I've never herd this talk before.. absolutely amazing as usual!

We live in a word built Uni-verse (unified verses = narrative). Words are frequencies in resonant alignment with their referent frequencies. Words are the smallest atomic unit if narratives. Every perception is to some extent memory. Every memory is to some extent imagination. Perceived narratives are the outcome. Our world to view mirrors our worldview. Our worldview is a narrative. To change the narrative, change perspective. Every choice we make generates a corresponding timeline of experience. Is the resulting narrative a limit or a creative guideline? No wrong answer - only another choice.

Ty for sharing it proves that with the right words and spiritual awareness anytime is possible ☝️🙏

why do i always fall asleep when listening to his podcast

I have seen quite a few comments here to the distracting nature of the sounds of ice cubes clinking in a glass, So I will offer an alternate possibility. A lot of people jump to the conclusion that it's a highball that he's drinking, but quite often he wore beads and varieties of pendants.

The best!

Amazing thank you

Extraordinary

He was an inspiration a great guru great insight intelligence He would've been one hundred years old today. Listening from the 70s it's not dated whatsoever totally contemporary.

Wonderful recording!!!Just downloaded the app! Thank you!

It's true Alan the true Divine. does not differentiate.

The universe is infinite so what if it doesn't have a center. Instead infinite centers. That's why we feel stuck in the middle of it. Each living thing or atom or wave of light or sound all it's own center of an infinite conscious universe

Quite true. Languages have got a frame and this frame grew in the last centuries. There was a time when nobody had understood the meaning of plethora. Today all the Greek expressions have been included. But what is the meaning of Sachchidananda or Mahashakti ? The whole wisdom of Sanskrit is unknown in the English language today. This limitation of the English language will cease when the expressions of the Sanskrit language entered into the English language.

There is something in this background that sounds very much like ice cubes in a glass and something in Dr Watt’s presentation and in his chuckle that cause me to imagine he might have been 3 sheets in the wind at the time of this lecture. I understand he was very fond of his scotch and his pipe. Do you see what I mean? Is it my imagination or is it possible…?

If you are interested in language, listen to Maximus Peperkamp

Whoever recorded this with that tea cup noise in the background really ruined it for me. Never had any issues before but that shit was driving me nuts

He doesn’t get to the real deal…the difference between Disembodied Language (DL) and Embodied Language (EL) for that you have to go to Maximus Peperkamp

I rue the day youtube's algo suggested Alan Watts' videos. How can one reject all these useless recommendations?

@kevinbissinger

There's literally an option to tell youtube not to recommend a video. Here's an idea, stop clicking on the videos you don't want to watch, and definitely don't leave comments. It's not youtube doing that, it's you.
