These ideas need to live on. If you agree, please share.
A profound speech on the life's illusion by Alan Watts. Original Audio sourced from: “Alan Watts - Out Of Your Mind 04"
““This is the real secret of life -- to be completely engaged with what you are doing in the here and now. And instead of calling it work, realize it is play.””
- Alan Watts. (1915 - 1973)

Truly "all just a game!!1!1!1!1!!" moment
this man is a legend.
I’ve been saying this for years! I always posed the question to those who complained about the system ( which I don’t agree with as well), why don’t we all just stop going to work?? As simply as he put it, it’s because people are not ready and many do like the competition even if it means hating your life
I am never serious but I am always sincere 🙏

To play the game and know it's a game is quite fascinating. He doesn't take it seriously, but he isn't shallow and frivolous either. All the roles are played by the joker. 😂😂😂😂 All positive and negative are paired. The positive is always in the process of overcoming the negative. Winner and loser must be paired. It's transactional. But if the negative always overcomes the positive, the game won't continue. It would be a tragedy! ⛩🐳🐘🍇🌝🐧🐞🍉🍭🐓🎯 Reality is invisible, but stripes are put on so people can see it like a zebra. God is invisible because of his self forgetfulness. The world is visible because it's a game. Therefore, we are all forgetful God playing on Earth like jokers.😇🤡😇🤡😇🤡 Thanks Alan. 13 June 2023.🎯⛩🦊🍇🐳🐞🍇🔬

You put out some valuable content. A little off topic maybe, but there’s this woman I got in touch with during the lockdown which cost me my job. Ms. Norman Davis helped me manage my assets by introducing me to the best investing platform and strategies, I earned a lot of $$$ working with Norman in the comfort of my home. I still keep in touch with the amazing lady

As a single mother with 3 kids, it wasn’t easy having to raise them alone after my husband had passed. I remember the hardest part was when my eldest son got into college and having to pay for his tuition would not have been possible without the help of Ms Norman whom i had gotten in contact with the previous year. she assisted me and taught me how to earn extra income

I made a pac with myself that I would NEVER work for a company more then a few months. Being an actor, it was perfect. I worked in every field I could to learn as much as I can, and don't regret anything. I am not rich, far from it. But I am wealthy from the knowledge and graditude I gained from others.. So many. Including Mr. Watts..
I love Alan Watts wisdom. This is beautiful. Happy dark side of the moon. It’s amazing the way we humans attach so much meaning and labels to everything forever creating duality. Thank you for all you do, share and are.

@@mnetzer6777 this is an interesting thought. Jeremy Corbyns policies were called loony left by UK media. But in fact are seen as moderate in Europe. A Capitalist system that is regulated could work, unfettered greed no. Remember it's socialism for the Rich, when the Banks failed the Tax payer bailed them out. Austerity was forced on everyone because of their reckless behaviour.

“The world is like a ride in an amusement park, and when you choose to go on it you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. The ride goes up and down, around and around, it has thrills and chills, and it's very brightly colored, and it's very loud, and it's fun… for a while. Many people have been on the ride a long time, and they begin to wonder, "Hey, is this real, or is this just a ride?" And other people have remembered, and they come back to us and say, "Hey, don't worry; don't be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride." And we … kill those people. "Shut him up! I've got a lot invested in this ride, shut him up! Look at my furrows of worry, look at my big bank account, and my family. This has to be real." It's just a ride.” -Bill Hicks

It’s precarious, living within the tension of this polarity between chaos and order…losing and winning…good and evil. Random and chance has enough order to it to bet on it. Win some, lose some…never zero sum (over sharpen a blade, it blunts).
This revealed truth reminds me of the Heyokas of the Lakota Oyate where I grew up. Heyoka vision is beautiful! The sacred role that they play is so enlightening. Vision. Play. Dream.

I choose not to play the game. Especially if it involves other people. I had a dream about "an end". In a live raft with others struggling to have rational thoughts. I saw a dog trapped along the river banks before we were about to go over a waterfall. Instead of wasting time trying to communicate to the others all in hysteria to bail. I just jumped to go for the dog an left the people behind. I choose to play the game of life. Not the game of drama...
a game with dire consequences! .

So.... I had premonitions about the majority of the more intense aspects of my life long before they happened. I thought they were just weird dreams caused by my subconscious mind. They were that and more. I wish I could tell someone about the true extent of my premonitions and clairvoyance. It's haunted menall my life until I finally gave up on trying to make sense of it. what I can say is that consciousness and SpaceTime have a different relationship than we seem to understand it's not straight up causal in one direction.
Can someone please explain the actual meaning here, I have it to a degree but if some one could put it in a nutshell?? Thanks

I have a tendency to take things too seriously, because I wish to not see others suffer needlessly. I get agitated at the idea of the powerful inflicting suffering on the powerless and it makes me want to fight. After all, you can not know peace, without conflict.

WHY ARE THE SCRIPTURES AN ABSOLUTE IN THEIR UNIVERSAL TEACHINGS?🎉🎉🎉
No man can stand outside the game theorem of all of life. that is absurd. those "outsiders" are indeed very key players. Expansion of the individual guiding from spirit first, then to the mind and onwards to matter opens up to a greater synthesis of the "rules" if you will. the game breaks down when you see that the construct of games themselves is an order served to us by what we perceive as a "game". There is not enough subtlety for games within the bounds of the layers of infinity x

Why why why the music?
I figured it out, I'm not playing Time will tell, don't listen to a word I say... the game must go on, I have no reason and don't want to continue much longer... remember and laugh in memory, don't miss me... The game played out this way, you should play along in joy Don't follow to know the end...

Correct. And we get to play infinite roles for an infinite amount of time! It's the greatest fun park of all time. Our ancestors created it long ago. Given how quickly our technology has evolved in just a few years....do you really think it didnt evolve until 100,000s of years into our evolution? No...we a far more advance than what it appears. What exists outside the game. Outside the construct is far beyond anything you can imagine. ;-)
