Alan’s Masterpiece 🌹👁️🌹
I subscribed yesterday. I happen to be a fan of Alan Watts and Star Wars. I have been thinking a lot lately about Star Wars and what it would mean to be a Jedi on Earth. Found your channel while listening to Alan Watts stuff, trying to cheer up.
Philosophy is my favorite subject. I love how complex or simple it can be. It is a fundamental and diverse subject. Like the force. It teaches one how to think freely, and to ask any questions. I’ve been looking into mysticism as well. Manly P. Hall and Rudolf Steiner are of personal interests currently.
May the force be with you, Master Jedi. 🙏
Thank you for the sub - it is greatly appreciated. I’m sorry to hear that things have been challenging for you my friend. Such is the way of things sometimes. I’m so pleased that you are seeking philosophical answers - that is a necessary step. Hall and Steiner will help, as will many others! As Rumi said “Yesterday I was clever so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise so I am changing myself.”
The trickier part is applying what we learn, not to change per se, but to reveal the potential already inherent in us - and that is where the Jedi archetype has great value.
May The Force be with You . . . Always
@thejedilibrary I decided to cut my hair and start a Jedi braid today haha. Mostly just for fun; and to practice giving up attachment after wearing it for a few years or so.
Now seeing this response. The Force is showing me signs, a form of patterns in reality, synchronicity…
I believe in the force tbh. I just think of it a bit differently in real life. I feel like energy, vibration, frequency, electromagnetism, attraction, repulsion, neutrality, ignorance, and knowledge are all a part of it. Perhaps also like a universal consciousness, which can be activated or interacted with through meditations and dreams. Like a library in the clouds of the mind’s eye. Akashic records. Everything is connected. Everything is a multiplicity in that every thing is vibrating at various frequencies. But everything is also a singularity, in that all things are vibrations. And consciousness works within some sort of interconnected web of some sort. Like a field within “space” that is a network of coexisting electromagnetic fields and consciousness as the fundamental guiding force of all material. I probably sound crazy haha. I’m a philosopher and I enjoy physics and mathematics. I think I think too much 🤔
@@mikerivers8595 You don't sound crazy - sounds to me like you have a good working model! Many great minds have come to a similar conclusion: "The only true atom, the only thing which we cannot subdivide and cut in half, is the universe." - Samuel Butler
The trick is truly living in that knowledge and developing the habits and ways that emerge from that metaphysic 🤗
May the force be with you...always ❤
Thank you for making this! Thank you for looking past the haters, who can't read your description lol. being Alan Watts fans i hope they can at least know how to read and comprehend what your creative mind has made!
I'm reading the original book while listening and it is very helpful to me. I love the other terminology used here. Big like and subscribed!
Thank you for this!!
Hello earth family 👋
Thank you! Great voice for an Alan Watts book reading!
Just finished listening to your entire adaptation. Not only should it please George Lucas, I believe Schopenhauer would have dug it. You're one of the best audiobook readers.
Thank you for your kind words - your encouragement is much appreciated 🙏
Excellent
Awesome job!
Hey man, this is so well made. How much time did it take to work on this project from start to end?
Thank you! I genuinely don’t know - but it takes about 6-8 hours for each hour of content. So 30-40 hours sounds about right? !
This isn’t an Alan Watts book? Curious to know before I burn up the time listening to it. I’m looking for Become What You Are by Mr. Watts
It is an Alan Watts book - but with small adjustments. The changes are minor and appropriate for a Jedi audience - they don't change the book's message at all!
Alan Watts is my favorite philosopher. However I found this book condescending as it was supposed to be written for kids. 4:15:52 The giveaway is the line "anyone who brags about knowing this does not understand it". WTF, I still can't believe he left that line in. And by the way there is no mention of the Jedi, the Force, the internet etc. in the original book which was written in 1966. Nice try though.
Thanks for the feedback - he did think of it as a book for young adults (rather than kids), but I still find it valuable. The suggestion that "those who know, do not boast, and those that boast, do not know" is extremely ancient and appears in many wisdom texts (e.g. Tao Te Ching ch.56) - in my personal experience, it is a good heuristic! Furthermore, nobody with a lived practice based on this book would ever feel the need to brag ;)
Be here now.
This is not alan watts voice
You ruined this book!
Only a Sith deals in absolutes, how dare you come to our temple and leave your bad energy.
MY EXACT THOUGHTS !!!! CANT EVEN LISTEN
Why? Should I bother listening or is it not the original book?
@@collin2285 all that the channel has done has swapped some words for Jedi, and the force.
What a horrible pointless book. Waste of 5 hours of one's life.
I'm sorry that you feel that way , When I first went on this journey.
I almost thought the same thing You did . If I can offer a suggestion the book of Thomas short. Listen I wish you lunch a block god bless
I wish u luck and God bless
Thisid not by alan watts. What's the point here?
The original Book was written by Alan Watts. I made some adjustments to modernise it and recorded an audiobook of it. The point is in the wisdom his contain ;)
