Alan Watts was an incredible philosopher and speaker who had a unique way of exploring Eastern philosophy and spirituality. His captivating lectures and books have inspired countless people around the world.
Alan Watts was born in England in 1915 and developed a deep interest in Eastern philosophy from a young age. He studied Buddhism, Taoism, and Hinduism, and became a renowned interpreter of these philosophies for Western audiences. His ability to bridge the gap between Eastern and Western thought made him a popular figure in the counterculture movement of the 1960s.
One of the central themes in Watts' teachings was the concept of "the self." He explored the idea that our sense of self is an illusion, and that we are all interconnected with the universe. He encouraged people to embrace the present moment and find joy in the simple act of being alive.
Watts had a way of delivering profound insights with a sense of humor and playfulness. He believed that life should be approached with a sense of wonder and curiosity, and that we should not take ourselves too seriously. His lectures often included anecdotes, stories, and metaphors that helped illustrate his points in an engaging and relatable way.
In addition to his lectures, Watts wrote numerous books on topics such as Zen Buddhism, Taoism, and the nature of consciousness. Some of his most well-known works include "The Wisdom of Insecurity," "The Book: On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are," and "The Way of Zen."
Alan Watts passed away in 1973, but his teachings continue to resonate with people today. His ability to distill complex philosophical concepts into accessible and relatable ideas has made him a beloved figure in the world of spirituality and philosophy.

We come to this earth, we don't know why. Weeks and months and years go by. We stare and wonder into the sky, what am I doing here? Who am I? True story

I will never understand why Watts was never offered as an option for philosophy. I'm 35 and all I had was Kant. Perhaps Watts didn't write enough, but his books would beg to differ.

He wrote tons of books. A philosopher was likely not the first thing he would have liked to be thought of as. In regard to his public speaking he was more of a musician and a comedian. A musician in terms of his speaking rhythms and tones, and a comedian in terms of his honest self expression. Instead of strictly inducing laughter you, in varying degrees, wake up.

Because Watts wasn't trying to sell the illusion that the Universe first exist(illusion of origin, measurement by concepts) but that the eternal present always first believes it exist because eternity is a reproductive state by always first believing it exist, now(eternity) and the origin story of now(knowledge of now, proof of being the whole eternal now) is a verbatim reproductive state therefore I am always first believing to write this comment.

Because the establishment doesn’t want his understanding of the truth of life to awaken American citizens. That would be bad for the business of society.
Everthing leads to the realizing, that we are one in our essence: One-Life, One -Love, One-Truth. It is so obvious.♥
Who am I? Is one of the greatest question, to me who I am is who I choose to be

One or another possible "ultimate question" that I could think of off the bat... Hmm.. Is being ultimately arbitrary? Or.. Is eternal bliss possible?
This is my GIFT to you and anyone reading this.. These suggestions have made me the person I am today. So take one or two or all of them and transform yourself to a super being. Thank me later. I personally did and do everything listed below and I got massive results. 1. Write out a statement of your Short Term Goal AND your Chief Aim/Main Goal... on a "goal card" or paper. 2. Write it out 50 times a day for 30 days preferably around the same time each day. After the 30 days, you go back and write it out ONCE a day. This is your compass in life. 3. Set your phone alarm to go off every 3 hours (to disrupt your daily routine) and when it goes off write down your statement and then close your eyes and see yourself with your goal for 2 mins. 4. Record your statement in your voice on a voice recorder on your phone, and play it back to yourself on loop while you sleep and as often as you can daily, example... in the shower or when you are using the rest room. 5. Find an accountability partner. If you cannot find someone, then you MUST write out your statement DAILY. By doing this you make yourself accountable to YOURSELF. 6. Find a community or FB group/group chat, etc and from that community form a Mastermind with one or two people who have studied from REAL Mentors and are giving VALUE. There is a "Law of Giving" and many people are using it. Andrew Carnegie told Napoleon Hill this back in the early 1900s. Its a LAW and it works. Its what I am doing with this post. 7. Auto-Suggest (Think and Grow Rich Chapter 4) to yourself in front of the mirror in the bathroom at least twice a day. Look directly INTO your eyes OR one eye and recite your WRITTEN statement. Then splash cold water on your face. This sudden shock seals the thought into the subconscious due to emotional and physical shock from the cold water. 8. Write out ten "I AM" statements a day. example. I AM happy, I AM more confident. Use the word MORE; implying you already have it, but want more. You trick the brain. 9. Write out 5 things you HAVE that you are grateful for and 5 things that you are grateful for that are coming to you. Mix up the list one after the other. 10. When in public tell people you see that you love them in your mind. Simply say "I LOVE YOU" to them as you pass them, especially when driving, because their subconscious hears and FEELS the intention. Say it to about 10 to 15 people daily. This increases your Good Karma. It might seem like a lot. But it took me less than two weeks to incorporate the list into my life and 32 days later I started getting massive results. What have you got to lose, try some or ALL and see your results. Let me know know too. Have a great day... and thanks for reading.

Just yesterday I pondered on the first person I AM And then I brought the second and third persons into this picture: You ARe (S)he IS. The 3 form WE and the TO BE form AM_AR_IS. And then I realized that Amaris means promise of God. We are all Gods children of promise, and this brought me to tears.

I wonder what alan watts would have said today if he knew the earth was flat.
To say that we aren't the center of the universe is an arbitrary point.

I don't think the universe is a manifestation of blind energy. I think it's about minds and eyes...and blind spots.
Smug? Oh no, George Clooney's acceptance speech has gone back in time to effect Allan Watts.
😂😂 why he look like David Spade?
