So true. I don't think that it is possible to understand this video completely, if you have not found it out yourself. Which makes it hard to share these thoughts with people :(
I found that out myself and freaked out, I thought I was going crazy, wasnt until i started to do some researches that I calmed down and felt proud of such discovery.
***** Very true. To transcend the "I" takes a bit of effort. It requires letting go of concepts, precepts and any notions of the self that we cling on to so dearly.

I'm coming to the conclusion that Alan Watts may be a healer for mankind's mental suffering, the reassuring grandparent to a world of secretly scared adults
I remember being 5 years old on a trip to the planetarium and feeling this incredible connection, synergy, comfort, knowing, beauty of looking at the stars. It has stayed with me my entire life and now realize it was a very pure soul (by way of being so young and not yet conditioned) recognizing a part of itself. Beautiful
"Your skin doesn't separate you from the world, it's a bridge through which the external world flows into you and you flow into it." Love the way his brain works. Thank you TJOP for this beautiful rendition!
Reminds me of Bill Hicks quote, " All matter is merely energy condensed to a slow, vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves"
You yourself are the eternal energy that appears as this universe. You didn't come into this world; you came out of it. Like a wave from the ocean - Alan Watts. This quote from him is pure gold.
Uh, it is. They do not "keep it to themselves to keep us in line". It hasnt been totally accepted for a terribly long time. I mean some of you are in your teens, perhaps older. Yet you take this idea to mean you are actually the universe. You're part of the universe just as you are the nation you live in. Did "stardust" make you? Well, over billions of years when a massive star explodes at the end of its life, the resulting high energy environment enables the creation of some of the heaviest elements including iron and nickel. The explosion also disperses the different elements across the universe, scattering the stardust which now makes up planets including Earth.
This is Pantheism There is only ONE thing in existance constantly going through perpetual construction and deconstruction, infinite recycling of itself. You were formed by the metabolic process derived from the lifeforms that your mother ate when you were in the womb, like those beings your energy and the lowest levels of your composition will be consumed and returned to billions of things, just as you were billions of things in constant composition and decomposition before the birth of your current temporary composition. Just as with the process of individual beings, all material entities, the earth, solar system, galaxy and universe also goes through the same process of composition and decomposition and the process repeats forever. The ALL was never born and never dies. There is only the ONE thing in all of it's different forms and masks.
gives me chills every time I see the picture of intergalactic space moving backwards.. so many galaxies. so much possibility of life. so expansive.. so beautiful.
I, and every other living thing on this planet, are sentient stardust. When ancient stars exploded eons upon eons ago, in effect, that is when all living things on this world were born. And thinking about it like that, you are not twenty, thirty, forty or seventy years old, you are already billions and billions of years old. You are not in the universe, you ARE the universe. And if that doesn't empower you and make you feel a little bit bigger, then I don't know what would :)
There is only one Truth about reality but sadly it cannot be explained or described through words. You can only experience it. Until you let go of the ego ( who you think you are ) you won't be aware of the Truth which is right in front of your eyes. You are not a person experiencing the Universe. You are the Universe experiencing a person. Reality is absolutely infinite. You are nothingness. You are the emptiness that contains everything possible and nothing at the same time. Paradoxically, Reality itself is a paradox. There is no limit to reality because limits themselves are within reality. Every possibility and impossibility already exists right now in the present moment. There is no escaping reality because reality is all there is and will ever be.

Nautilus1972 ive had this view since I can remember before I learned about atoms and philosophy. that life is just one way in.which we experience ourselves
this is absolutely awesome, i spent all night watching videos by alan watts confirming some incredible realizations. this morning i got onto youtube to watch a few more, i wondered why i hadnt seen this one last night. and that is because this video was uploaded today, crazy. :)
My guess is they’re people that believe Alan’s words are an affront to their religious beliefs. Please don’t hate on them, Religion is their way of connecting with their inner spirit and they believe they must fight to protect it. 🤗
The biggest thing that surprises me is that I didnt hear about alan watts until 2015. I appreciate the internet and people like this that spread his teachings.
Alan said so many beautiful things, he's a Yoda in many ways. He surprises you with a simple turn of phrase all the time... You do not come into the world, you come out of it.
I cried tears of joy from this video. The first time I first hand experienced this feeling. I thought I was crazy or going insane. When I would describe it to other people, no one would understand me and they would think I was crazy. I now realize that I am the correct one and everyone who doubted me just will not know what I mean unless they experience it
It's so crazy, I couldn't stand listening to his videos. My brain just never could fathom what he was saying. Then in the last 3 months I had an extreme awakening brought on by a brutal "illness" I now listen to his talks and understand them as much as being on acid or mushrooms. It's so cool!!!!! Mind bending! My "illness" is now healed thanks to somatic meditation, allowing, accepting and Allan watts videos! Boom!
The first one minute and 27 seconds of this video is the most inspiring and moving spiritual teaching I have ever heard. I found Alan Watts about a year ago and I listen and read everything I can by him.
"what you are basically, deep-deep-down far-far-in is simply, the fabric and structure of existence itself, and when you find that out you laugh yourself silly"

When I'm listening to Mr. Watts speak, I feel like my mind is expanding, opening or relaxing. I really can't describe how I feel while listening to him. Its not just in my head, it's throughout my entire body. It's kind of a tingling, soothing sensation that resonates inside and outside of my body. I can't be the only person that feels this way while listening to Mr. Watts speak. If you're reading this and you experience similar or odd feelings while enjoying Mr. Watts , I would love to know what you feel , if you don't mind. I apologise for my vague attempt to describe these feelings.
Buddhism is like a technology that teaches you to become established in this reality- that you are NOT. You are inseparable from everything that came before and will come, from everyone. It's hard to remain established in this truth, while living in the world, but Alan Watts helps you do this. He is a master.
I totally know what he means when he says "you will know when the universe shows you what it really is" for example...a few months ago i would say " wow i get it, thats weird,,, " but i only kind of understood it, but i thought i completely got it!!! then one day driving my truck at work on a dirt road in the middle of no ware i started thinking deep about what i new,, and then out of no ware i sat up strait grabbed the steering wheel and hit the brakes and started screaming "HOLY FUKN SHIT ....I AM THE UNIVERSE" my life has changed completely since then,, i am not the same person i was 2 months ago, the only thing the same is my body!!! I DESIGNED MY OWN UNIVERSE AND WOW!!! TRUST ME!!!
I listen to this every other month, because sometimes; the world just simply gets to me; thank for your thoughts Mr.Watts, they help me every passing day, I just need a reminder.
"You are the fabric and structure of existence itself..and when you find this out you laugh yourself silly". Haha, in that moment that's all you can do.
Alan Watts developed his own theory of everything mixing science and eastern philosophy to give us a beautiful and simplified explanation of what this whole thing is. I’m forever grateful for his work.
I always wanted to know what God was. I thought to know what it is I had to be in some kind of religion. But The more I listen to Alan Watts the more I realize it's not about knowing its about realizing and understanding that we are all God pretending not to be God and just living to live. Like he said "the God hood is unknown to itself" all that life is, is a game. To have fun. And enjoy now.
へんたい せんぱい The All , Universe by definition is all that exists , it contains all the power and knowledge and awareness and is omnipresent. From the water and iron in our blood to calcium in our bones we are inseperable from the greatness, carbon atoms inside us were made billions of years ago from the centre of our Star, the sun.
I am in fucking sane. Billions and billions of years of solar galaxy creation, solar systems craetion, planetary creations... millions of years of incarnation to get to this point just to know that the reason of my existence is because I do??? that is.. that is utter, insanity. I AM INFUCKINGSANE, THAT WAS SO AWESOME.
The source of all light is in the eye. If there were no eyes in this world there would be no light. You evoke light out of the universe. Eternally grateful to Alan Watts for ever opening my eyes so I can let the light in.
We are all infinite reflections of the One.... Imagine one being going into a room full of mirrors and seeing billions of reflections of himself... That is who we are 💝💝💝🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
Once you realize your self is largely an illusion and that more or less the same versions of you will always exist in time and space, death becomes more like sleep and less like existential horror. This isn't magical thinking or reincarnation. It's the very reality that we inhabit.
It's not about figuring out or understanding as that would be just another, albeit interesting, philosophy. Alan Watts is speaking these truths from his very EXPERIENCE of life. This experience is available to anyone willing to investigate their own nature. So what he's saying is interesting as an idea, but sublime as an experience...
This gentleman is completely 100 percent right when you think of it our body is of the earth but the breath of life that God gave us is of the universe because he is the creator of the universe and the universe came out of him and he put the universe into us which makes us an unstoppable abundance !!!!!!
the fact that you mention God proves you don't know Alan Watts quite enough. He is not a deist ( christian, Mulims or Jews " and the variants of each religion), he doesn't believe in a God who created the universe and therefore us. He is more a Pantheist, that means that Pantheists do not believe in a distinct personal or anthropomorphic god. Some Eastern religions are considered to be pantheistically inclined.
This is beautiful. Although i often find myself disagreeing with many of the things Alan says, i have to admit he was an intellectual who helped give birth to the intellectual and spiritual change that many people needed in their lives. This includes me. Btw these videos are masterpieces. Keep it up!
Perhaps this is what Jesus realised. When he tried to explain it, everyone mixed up his sentiments and created an entire religion based on a misunderstanding. He understood he was the eternal energy of the universe manifested briefly as a human-being; hence ''son of god'. It's almost comical to think about really.
No not quite Jesus understood his nature of being 100% God and 100% man. His goal on this earth was to become a propitiation for our sins and reunite us with God in eternity. His message was clear throughout scripture. He gave us wisdom to allow us to live godly lives in the wake of his second coming. The religion (if it must be called this) was created long before and Christ simply fulfilled over 300 prophecies in his coming. The reason was because of our sinful nature and because “the wages of sin is death” we need a savior as our spirits had become eternally separated from God. We know there is nothing we can do to save ourselves . “For by grace you have been saved, through faith. This is not a result of your own doing but a gift of God; so no one may boast.” But simply believe in his deliverance, accepting our sinful consequences, and admitting the need of a savior, unlocks His eternal kingdom. Didn’t mean to share the entire gospel with you but I kinda did
You are the eternal thing that comes and goes. You evoke light out of the universe with your eye. The whole cosmos looks out through us. We are the fabric and structure of existence itself. Thanks Alan. 🤩🌷🎯🌎🐧💖🥂🎈🌴⚡🤠🌾
In Hinduism, there is a description of the 1st person to know this fact, the fact which is TRUTH itself about LIFE. We call him god. So, from that very moment, he's trying to wake the world since then, maybe from billion years, but some wake up some don't. I've not yet. Alan Watts did in the past century. So, my point is, making Human blossom, is a very very hard task even for enlighted beings working together. Anyways, I must say LIFE is so beautiful that nobody can give any explanation other than it being a dream of a being who is light itself. Let wisdom hit us all.
It is only passion to know the truth, the love, strive towards understanding and finding that which we look for all our lives, ourselves, in this path of learning is the key to all the doors inside of us,we are it... we are what we are looking for,we are love.
Dear TJOP, I love all your videos particularly the ones with Alan Watts. There are several videos with Alan Watts' voice on RUclips but most of them ruin the experience of watching the video because of the horrendous music that becomes a huge distraction! But when I watch your perfectly made videos, with divine visuals and soul soothing music topped with the great wisdom from Alan Watts., I feel as if I have attained nirvana at least for those five minutes of the video and then I am back to my mortal self. I would like to thank you for your your time and effort for making the videos. Your videos are not just an audio visual experience but a journey into the sublime. Looking forward to more such journeys. :)
@@degaussingatmosphericcharg575 He makes no assertions, this is literally the reality of things, and science has shown this to be the case. That reality is that YOU are the universe. You are not something that was outside of it that was placed into it when you were born, you grew from it, you are something the whole universe is doing. The human condition (A product of our biology and evolution), makes us feel as if we are something inside our bodies (behind the eyes and between the ears). We think that we are the ego, which is the idea and opinion you have of yourself and the world, but we know that this is a complete illusion. The self is an illusion. This universe is just a big playing of energy, and the human being is just a complicated pattern of energy, and this pattern has given rise to consciousness and essentially allowed the universe to observe itself. When you realise this, that there is no duality (self and other) and that it is just one big playing of energy, you loose the idea that you are just some poor little thing inside of the universe, a stranger, afraid in a world that it never made. You are this universe, and there is no woo woo rubbish or outlandish claims made in that, it's just the way things are.
+Pr3ssPl4y We are the universe, but we are different parts of it, therefore we are not the same being. It's a nonsense to call "you" me since that is logically equivalent as asserting that you don't have a conscious of your own. Try to think a little next time.
+ByRTD yO (byRTD) You are assuming separate consciousness must make something not part of a single whole. You have no logical basis to make that assumption. You have different parts of your brain that are separate - conscious and unconscious thinking. Perhaps we have a lot consciousness points, like a bunch of eyes.
Dr. Michael Baumgardner Are you trying to be stupid on purpose or are you just joking? My existence is the only thing in the whole universe I cannot doubt. I am aware that I am thinking, feeling, doubling, therefore I exist. Even an illusion requires my consciousness to exist. I can doubt the universe exists, but I cannot doubt my existence. Sorry but you failed. Yes, the proposition that we are the universe is sound and valid but not the proposition that we are the same being. Your flaw is thinking that just because we are part of the same being that therefore that makes us the same, but that is not true since we have different minds.
Dr. Michael Baumgardner Even if it's only one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, that still doesn't make us the same being by the simple facts that we have different properties such as different minds and experiences. You guys are confusing the idea that just because we are the universe looking at itself that therefore that makes us the same being ignoring that we have different unique properties such as different minds like I've said.
these are great snip-its of what Allen had going on in his talented writing and as a speaker. My teacher knew him rather well, and so I am well and at calm when I hear these short pieces if colorful words on life this Life Our Life which we share..
I came on to this realization shortly before I saw this video and began to ask myself if I was crazy, then I heard it from Mr. Watts mouth and am quite positive now I'm not crazy. We are all so obviously one.
He right though, because when I figured it out, I was driving. And sure enough, I literally laughed myself silly. Wondering how the hell I did not know this all along. LMAO
Alan Watt shares his wisdom in a provocative and creative way; yet, what he communicates, even though insightful, will not change your ego to an enlightened state of being. The belief in free will and free choices are an illusion. Gurdjieff explains that man is asleep, and how can anyone acquire knowledge when you are asleep? Studying Gurdjieff’s work and Spinoza’s philosophy these past 45 + years have awakened me, since then, I have created a method of awakening one’s higher thinking intelligence, then true permanent enlightenment, and happiness are possible.
It's one thing to be told this. It's another thing to figure it out and experience it for yourself.
So true. I don't think that it is possible to understand this video completely, if you have not found it out yourself. Which makes it hard to share these thoughts with people :(
xT0Xx A concept shared is no matter how close, is still so far from experience.
***** as open minded and "awake" as we are, it is our job to help others find the path that they need

It's hard to remain established in this truth, while living in the world, but Alan Watts helps you do this. He is a master.

Agree, if I know this at childhood, my life would be much better
This message with that music. Chilling.
I totally know what he means when he says "you will know when the universe shows you what it really is" for example...a few months ago i would say " wow i get it, thats weird,,, " but i only kind of understood it, but i thought i completely got it!!! then one day driving my truck at work on a dirt road in the middle of no ware i started thinking deep about what i new,, and then out of no ware i sat up strait grabbed the steering wheel and hit the brakes and started screaming "HOLY FUKN SHIT ....I AM THE UNIVERSE" my life has changed completely since then,, i am not the same person i was 2 months ago, the only thing the same is my body!!! I DESIGNED MY OWN UNIVERSE AND WOW!!! TRUST ME!!!
Kc Poopiepants i'm happy that you understood brother.
Blessings!
The Wondering Wanderer I sure do!!!
What does it mean that to be universe?
Kc IMNAIBRAIN I'm trying to get to where you are at brother. congrats on your rebirth.
slimjimdion I don't understand!! What did he discover??
I listen to this every other month, because sometimes; the world just simply gets to me; thank for your thoughts Mr.Watts, they help me every passing day, I just need a reminder.
"You are the fabric and structure of existence itself..and when you find this out you laugh yourself silly". Haha, in that moment that's all you can do.
Word! Love that part as well. So powerful
When i had my kundilini awakening i literally laughed/cried with happiness
Shane goose i’m excited for the day i have mine
thats crazy lol but amazing at the same time
Alan Watts developed his own theory of everything mixing science and eastern philosophy to give us a beautiful and simplified explanation of what this whole thing is. I’m forever grateful for his work.
I always wanted to know what God was. I thought to know what it is I had to be in some kind of religion. But The more I listen to Alan Watts the more I realize it's not about knowing its about realizing and understanding that we are all God pretending not to be God and just living to live. Like he said "the God hood is unknown to itself" all that life is, is a game. To have fun. And enjoy now.
へんたい せんぱい The All , Universe by definition is all that exists , it contains all the power and knowledge and awareness and is omnipresent. From the water and iron in our blood to calcium in our bones we are inseperable from the greatness, carbon atoms inside us were made billions of years ago from the centre of our Star, the sun.
His every word makes me melt and I am bursting into tears everytime I realize something which...I am.
I am in fucking sane. Billions and billions of years of solar galaxy creation, solar systems craetion, planetary creations... millions of years of incarnation to get to this point just to know that the reason of my existence is because I do??? that is.. that is utter, insanity. I AM INFUCKINGSANE, THAT WAS SO AWESOME.
wE arE connecteD what a wonderful realization. Nothing is truely serious.
The source of all light is in the eye.
If there were no eyes in this world there would be no light.
You evoke light out of the universe.
Eternally grateful to Alan Watts for ever opening my eyes so I can let the light in.
We are all infinite reflections of the One.... Imagine one being going into a room full of mirrors and seeing billions of reflections of himself... That is who we are 💝💝💝🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
True awakening for those who are still asleep. Allan watts is forever the greatest philosopher of the times.
It wasn't really his philosophy. He merely packaged it for a western audience. And for that I'm eternally greatful.
it was beautiful tjop, thank you
We are our beings plus the environments we live in. We can't be separated from that. Alan Watts was a true Master.
Once you realize your self is largely an illusion and that more or less the same versions of you will always exist in time and space, death becomes more like sleep and less like existential horror. This isn't magical thinking or reincarnation. It's the very reality that we inhabit.
It's not about figuring out or understanding as that would be just another, albeit interesting, philosophy. Alan Watts is speaking these truths from his very EXPERIENCE of life. This experience is available to anyone willing to investigate their own nature. So what he's saying is interesting as an idea, but sublime as an experience...
Thanks for this amazing video!
Alan watts speak such sense...to think he died almost 40 years ago is mind blowing...
Incredible editing, well done and thanks
Beginning at 2:37, Alan reveals the secrets of the universe. It's just that simple. Bless you, sweet soul.
Thank You Isaac. Much appreciated.
Once you get Watts its hard to pick a favorite, but this one's right up there with The Real You, for sure. Just really well done. Thanks!
This gentleman is completely 100 percent right when you think of it our body is of the earth but the breath of life that God gave us is of the universe because he is the creator of the universe and the universe came out of him and he put the universe into us which makes us an unstoppable abundance !!!!!!
Did the universe come out of god's anus? .__.
Lolololol I would say his conscience so which makes us the ambassadors of earth and the universe think about it
the fact that you mention God proves you don't know Alan Watts quite enough.
He is not a deist ( christian, Mulims or Jews " and the variants of each religion), he doesn't believe in a God who created the universe and therefore us.
He is more a Pantheist, that means that Pantheists do not believe in a distinct personal or anthropomorphic god. Some Eastern religions are considered to be pantheistically inclined.
This is beautiful. Although i often find myself disagreeing with many of the things Alan says, i have to admit he was an intellectual who helped give birth to the intellectual and spiritual change that many people needed in their lives. This includes me. Btw these videos are masterpieces. Keep it up!
Perhaps this is what Jesus realised. When he tried to explain it, everyone mixed up his sentiments and created an entire religion based on a misunderstanding. He understood he was the eternal energy of the universe manifested briefly as a human-being; hence ''son of god'. It's almost comical to think about really.
Ryan I understand what you are saying but he was in reality a practicing Jew. He claimed to be the prophetic messiah of the Jews.
No not quite
Jesus understood his nature of being 100% God and 100% man. His goal on this earth was to become a propitiation for our sins and reunite us with God in eternity. His message was clear throughout scripture. He gave us wisdom to allow us to live godly lives in the wake of his second coming. The religion (if it must be called this) was created long before and Christ simply fulfilled over 300 prophecies in his coming. The reason was because of our sinful nature and because “the wages of sin is death” we need a savior as our spirits had become eternally separated from God. We know there is nothing we can do to save ourselves . “For by grace you have been saved, through faith. This is not a result of your own doing but a gift of God; so no one may boast.” But simply believe in his deliverance, accepting our sinful consequences, and admitting the need of a savior, unlocks His eternal kingdom. Didn’t mean to share the entire gospel with you but I kinda did
Luke Hartsfield no one asked you to either
Stop talking about myths... this is science..
Thats what people do to prophets
You are the eternal thing that comes and goes. You evoke light out of the universe with your eye. The whole cosmos looks out through us. We are the fabric and structure of existence itself.
Thanks Alan. 🤩🌷🎯🌎🐧💖🥂🎈🌴⚡🤠🌾
In Hinduism, there is a description of the 1st person to know this fact, the fact which is TRUTH itself about LIFE. We call him god. So, from that very moment, he's trying to wake the world since then, maybe from billion years, but some wake up some don't. I've not yet. Alan Watts did in the past century. So, my point is, making Human blossom, is a very very hard task even for enlighted beings working together. Anyways, I must say LIFE is so beautiful that nobody can give any explanation other than it being a dream of a being who is light itself. Let wisdom hit us all.
absolutely wonderful background music that brings out the emotion in his statements.
This man is a genius.
It is only passion to know the truth, the love, strive towards understanding and finding that which we look for all our lives, ourselves, in this path of learning is the key to all the doors inside of us,we are it... we are what we are looking for,we are love.
Your efforts are producing positive impacts on society. :)
Wow...truly no words for this...
Have we grown tired of forgetting ourselves yet? Is it time to rest from the game and remember again?
I like.
Dear TJOP,
I love all your videos particularly the ones with Alan Watts. There are several videos with Alan Watts' voice on RUclips but most of them ruin the experience of watching the video because of the horrendous music that becomes a huge distraction! But when I watch your perfectly made videos, with divine visuals and soul soothing music topped with the great wisdom from Alan Watts., I feel as if I have attained nirvana at least for those five minutes of the video and then I am back to my mortal self. I would like to thank you for your your time and effort for making the videos. Your videos are not just an audio visual experience but a journey into the sublime. Looking forward to more such journeys. :)
"Wow, that's me!"
This is the most important concept man has discovered. Nothing else matters in comparison.
This video saved me...
The saved u from what?
I have lived this realization and am continuing to live it while I am alive.
Why?? That is me..... So beautiful.
I have these on audio book, these lectures are awesome when you combine them with the imagery and music.
Anyone else crying...?
yes :) but smiling at the end, when he says: "when you find that out, you laugh yourself silly."
MrOAKIL246 i feel you guys.
Yes.,...
Gets me every time it randomly toggles into my videos and I click on it.
I'm always like "You beside me, YES YOU! Stop cutting onions!" ;o;

He makes no assertions, this is literally the reality of things, and science has shown this to be the case. That reality is that YOU are the universe. You are not something that was outside of it that was placed into it when you were born, you grew from it, you are something the whole universe is doing. The human condition (A product of our biology and evolution), makes us feel as if we are something inside our bodies (behind the eyes and between the ears). We think that we are the ego, which is the idea and opinion you have of yourself and the world, but we know that this is a complete illusion. The self is an illusion. This universe is just a big playing of energy, and the human being is just a complicated pattern of energy, and this pattern has given rise to consciousness and essentially allowed the universe to observe itself. When you realise this, that there is no duality (self and other) and that it is just one big playing of energy, you loose the idea that you are just some poor little thing inside of the universe, a stranger, afraid in a world that it never made. You are this universe, and there is no woo woo rubbish or outlandish claims made in that, it's just the way things are.
This always get me back to earth when I am lost.
its 4:30am and its way too late to have an existential crisis
How does this make you feel purposeless? I find great comfort and a sense of purpose when I watch this.
time is just an illusion made up by mankind 😉 Anytime is the perfect time for an existential awakening ☮
God is here Alan said so
God is here Alan said so
I had that experience he talks about at the end. I laughed for 8 hours straight. It started near the peak of a 9.5 dried gram mushroom trip.
it's nice talking to ourselves huh guys hahha we are just a being experiencing itself
We are creation, we are the intuit, we are the fire, we are the parable we are, we are, we are, we are
+Pr3ssPl4y We are the universe, but we are different parts of it, therefore we are not the same being. It's a nonsense to call "you" me since that is logically equivalent as asserting that you don't have a conscious of your own. Try to think a little next time.
+ByRTD yO (byRTD) You are assuming separate consciousness must make something not part of a single whole. You have no logical basis to make that assumption. You have different parts of your brain that are separate - conscious and unconscious thinking. Perhaps we have a lot consciousness points, like a bunch of eyes.
Dr. Michael Baumgardner Are you trying to be stupid on purpose or are you just joking? My existence is the only thing in the whole universe I cannot doubt. I am aware that I am thinking, feeling, doubling, therefore I exist. Even an illusion requires my consciousness to exist. I can doubt the universe exists, but I cannot doubt my existence. Sorry but you failed. Yes, the proposition that we are the universe is sound and valid but not the proposition that we are the same being. Your flaw is thinking that just because we are part of the same being that therefore that makes us the same, but that is not true since we have different minds.
Dr. Michael Baumgardner Even if it's only one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, that still doesn't make us the same being by the simple facts that we have different properties such as different minds and experiences. You guys are confusing the idea that just because we are the universe looking at itself that therefore that makes us the same being ignoring that we have different unique properties such as different minds like I've said.
these are great snip-its of what Allen had going on in his talented writing and as a speaker. My teacher knew him rather well, and so I am well and at calm when I hear these short pieces if colorful words on life this Life Our Life which we share..
Thank you.
I came on to this realization shortly before I saw this video and began to ask myself if I was crazy, then I heard it from Mr. Watts mouth and am quite positive now I'm not crazy. We are all so obviously one.
We are light we are life we are all the same we are all one
We are also darkness, without darkness you would not be able to tell between light and darkness...
a beautiful job of perfecting this video, TJOP... thank you so very much for your brilliantly creative work
""And when you find that out, you laugh yourself silly." LOL how true...:D ♥ ☼
Thank you for spreading this beautiful talk with beautiful work.
He right though, because when I figured it out, I was driving. And sure enough, I literally laughed myself silly. Wondering how the hell I did not know this all along. LMAO
Very inspiring video. We are the actual universe. Alan Watts is awesome. Thanks for the video theJourneyofPurpose TJOP
This hit me hard.
Hit “who” hard?
There was no one there to get hit!
thank you Alan watts. thank you.
life changing video ....... srs!
Thanks Mr Watts flashback and foreword time forever
Awesome
먼지씻어 멋진작품 작품 주셔서 감싸듯 극적인 차원 우주 감사합니다, 친구 주셔서 행복 하세요 ^..^ 미소
Alan Watts saved me, as I'm sure he saved a good deal many others, from the very brink. I was lost and asleep. He helped me wake up.
Am I the only one who cried at this
No, you're not the only one. Far from it.
Alan Watt shares his wisdom in a provocative and creative way; yet, what he communicates, even though insightful, will not change your ego to an enlightened state of being. The belief in free will and free choices are an illusion. Gurdjieff explains that man is asleep, and how can anyone acquire knowledge when you are asleep? Studying Gurdjieff’s work and Spinoza’s philosophy these past 45 + years have awakened me, since then, I have created a method of awakening one’s higher thinking intelligence, then true permanent enlightenment, and happiness are possible.
