Before my health fell apart, I was always anxious about both the big and small decisions that I had to make in life on a daily basis. Having now spent almost 3 years of my life lying in bed each day, I can see, all that time I spent worrying, could have been time spent being grateful for all that I had in my life, for each and every pain free breath of air, for every sunny day and every wonderful person that I took for granted. What I would give for just one more day of good health. Please don’t take your health for granted as I did. Your mental and physical health is everything, your mind and body are your vessel to travel this Sea of life 🙏

I hear you my friend. My illness and physical limitations are progressive and leave me in my bed and head more and more. I can only say that on my brave days when I can reflect through the suffering it has become a bridge to a better human being. Struggling for each breath gives me little time for my old resentments, petty dramas and superficial wants. I'm glad I still; have good days when I can get up and walk out into the sun and wish that for you as well. I will remember your words and try to be grateful and thankful for each and every day that I can interact and experience love and life. Peace my friend.

What is the title of the background music?

''We think of letting go as something you need to do to relax: a return to a state of flow and calm. Yet, letting go is actually vital to life. Philosopher and writer Alan Watts says so much of life happens all the time in the space of letting go. When we let go, we sleep, we relax, and we allow life to happen. In fact, we enter into the flow of the entire universe.''

Every time I desire to feel better, it is Alan watts that guides me.

In a time when mental health issues such as anxiety and depression are so widespread, and supposedly are rising constantly, it's videos like this that should be in the education system. Bonkers how the crud of the internet goes viral so fast, when wholesome stuff like this goes almost unnoticed in comparison.

Watts was truly a Master Jedi.

Let Go. Possibly the 2 most powerful words ever.

There is a Zen saying that reads "let go or be dragged." It is one of my favorite quotes.

This man has helped me to change my entire perspective on life, death, suffering, pains and many more things. And sometimes I feel like he’s still with us because he’s like a good friend, almost a father figure in my everyday life. What a blessing for humanity he was. Thank you very much, Mr Watts! Edit: Actually he’s also changed my, or rather confirmed my view upon modern society. Not in a positive way tho. Well, I guess there’s the outside for that inside again.

I once heard someone get asked "who are you" and that person struggled by listing all their interests and certain traits they had, but then I started to ask myself that very same question and boy did I struggle internally. I did all this 5 years ago before I found Alan Watts. I remember when I first stumbled onto Mr. Watts, and I could not understand him whatsoever until a couple of years ago. I'm about to be 43 and I and this man has played a big part in my healing.

We all have sinned, and have broken God’s law (The Ten Commandments). Wrong doing deserves justice and must be punished (just like how a criminal has to pay for the crime they have committed) but God saved us from the eternal punishment of our sins by sending His Son Jesus Christ to pay the penalty for us, so that we may have everlasting life. Now for you to accept the free gift of grace, you must repent of your sins and put your faith in Jesus Christ and you will you be saved from eternal punishment, and be given everlasting life. By faith you will receive the Holy Spirit and He will transform your heart and clean you from the inside out. Turn away from sin, read Bible, pray for Jesus to reveal Himself to you and change you, seek to do what is right according to the Bible. Much love and God bless.

😇💫Poetry of love. Beautiful .. Thank you.

He/this makes SO much sense. It is pure gold, and invaluable insight/perspective. It’s incredibly puzzling to me how and why he passed away so young… so prematurely, especially given just how much wisdom and insight he possessed The stories of his drinking and falling health confuse me because quite clearly he understood the concept, impact and power/consequence of man’s God given ability of ‘choice’. IOW, he had to have understood both the short AND long term ramifications of one’s personal choices, and yet he still chose a lifestyle that cut his life short…. Unduly short. Perhaps it was by design, and he genuinely knew or believed that he was headed somewhere ‘better’ so that ultimately, it didn’t make any difference. Or maybe it simply speaks to the insidious nature of alcoholism/addiction, and how hard it is to control. It IS a disease by the way, and the only one that tells you you don’t have it.🙃 One thing is for sure, this man opened the eyes of so many people to a new way of living/being, and a better way of interpreting life in all its beauty, wonder, splendor, intrigue, and joy….and similarly, in of all of its pain, suffering , sadness and tragedy. He is STILL positively impacting the lives of countless people, and this little ditty is proof of same. Thank you so much for creating and sharing such valuable, worthwhile content. This video is extremely well done - truly top shelf material, and I am very grateful for the time and effort you invested in creating and sharing it. Well done and many thanks! Andrew

I heard someone say that worrying is like paying interest on money that you haven’t borrowed yet❤

When I was young I worried about so much. So much. Everything! And I worked all day long, 12-17 hours a day. And even when I wasn't working, I was working. Working and worrying. Working, worrying, stressing out. Yes, it's true, I made tens of millions of dollars a year. I paid more taxes in a quarter than most pay in their lifetime. Yes, this lead to a fancy home in the suburbs, a yacht down in the marina, and even a small Cessna that I flew from beautiful San Diego to LA every other weekend. But all that stress... it was a lot to handle. It was killing me every day, slowly. My health really suffered. Then one rainy and cold December morning I decided, just be. Don't stress so much. Just be! Things will come to me. I just have to trust and believe! Just be damn it! And now, four years later... wait, a manager here at this McDonald's is telling me I can't use their free WiFi anymore unless I buy something. I'll have to finish this speech when I walk to another fast food restaurant that offers free WiFi. Being homeless really sucks.

It’s weird this guys keeps saying things on Facebook that I have been constantly thinking about and now this. Ever since I stopped resisting, my life has been great other than my social life is much smaller but healthy. I’m eating better and saving more money. Best thing of all, 0 effort. And then I watched an episode of Rick and morty called analyze piss and it really hit home for me.

One love Deep Divers, keep the vibes high and remember to do something today that you can thank yourself for tomorrow!!!!

I have no idea what this guy is saying but I like his voice.

people need to understand that letting go is not something you do its something that happens.

Letting go is like solo dancing. You dance with no one while dancing with everyone.

This is what the AI researchers are missing. The ability to ascribe meaning to life, to be subjective and to have a feeling of self does not mean reducing wrong ideas and introducing awareness of even more aspects of life. The subjective self that can ascribe meaning to life emerges from the ability to filter out, letting go and to nurture the smallest experiences of life.

This is a nice video, keep inspiring

Wow.
