'I'm not afraid of death. But I am afraid of dying'.
@@DanDevey I would say that most people are afraid of both
@@KnowZone2024 being afraid of something you've not experienced is folly. Don't hold on when there's nothing to hold on to.
@@DanDevey So true

The gift of gab AW and Mckenna, Ram Das, even my fave Joseph Campbell possessed was truly astounding. Their minds and verbiage combined with flawless knowledge of the subject matter was and is, thanks to RUclips, divine. Christopher Hitchens also had such a mind. Grateful to the fellas who started RUclips in the 1990s - the greatest social media platforms ever invented. The bibliography of the world. 🌎 peace ✌️
Melinda!
That song slaps!
Your banter is wise and soul-soothing~
I love you, too.
~an American in Korea 🇰🇷
I feel like I understand Allan Watts because I seek the truth and understanding of the universe and yet enjoy the pleasures of drugs and alcohol.
Beautiful presentation, many thanks.
Beautiful music with Alan watts words helps to going deeper in mediation with bliss bless everyone have a nice day where ever you are in this world 💗
The cause of suffering is called THRISHNA, not "Krishna". It's where we get the word "thirst".
Yeh the subtitles are pretty clueless. Need a Buddhist proofreader.
AI Generated translation, probably.
Legalism, missing point.
@@John-me7tx Not missing the point at all, it's a worthy correction.
Whenever someone puts something out there to be considered, they should expect corrections.
I enjoyed the video apart from the poorly translated subtitles which could confuse the inexperienced . Please correct .
Absolutely accurate and beautiful.
Thank you for the subtitles 🙏
I forgot my headphones and went out to eat bymyself and I was able to tap into this instead of the environment.
Bless you all.
Be careful, the subtitles are way off in many places
@@rogerunderhill4267 they are fine.
I appreciate your work 💖👏💐
Thank u please upload more
Thanks you. Middle way as the point of gravity, a point of balance, a point of équilibrium...a géométric view of univers, ...maybe hologramic...The dreamer wake up, has butterfly..you know the story . Thanks 🙏🙏💎
What gets cut out around 3:53 when he says, "I don't want to suffer, and I" (subtitles continues with "want to find someone" but it gets choppy. There's briefly another line of subtitle that comes up next that says, "of suffering" but it doesn't match what he is saying. Weird...Oh wow, these subtitles are terrible, lol.
The subtitles are not doing justice to someone like Alan Watts.
Music*
Timeless teachings and theories...metron ariston. Socrates. 😊
Jai Guru Dev.
Yessssss
There is in the universe, a life force, it is those few actions and beliefs that cause life to exist and grow. Suffering comes when you do or believe things that differ from the ĺife lorce.. if you feel suffering figure out what you are doing or believing that is at odds with the life force.

නමෝ බුද්ධ ❤
Beautifully put. I believe alan watts to have been a great bodhisattva. Namo Buddhaya ❤
I bet he was very happy. He didn't seem to be sitting in front of a computer doing transactions or watching You Tube.
Bohisattva is not an intellectual affair only, to be bodhisattva one must practice it and which require a strong dedication and effort and one may have a true realisation of a bodhisattva
He is saying "trishna" not Krishna
Also "dithering" not "differing"
I came to the comments to say exactly this. Thanks
Can the bloody music!
Can the bloody music what? 🫠
He means put the music in the “ trash “ can …
@@bodhi9464no, we’re quite certain that he’s asking if the music can be shifted to a Dminor progression. Maybe a Csharp, maybe.
@@andjunglepunkthirteen760 😁 I love smartasses.
❤
The subtitles are way off and completely wrong words in many places. Pls redo them manually. Thx. But it’s a nice talk 😊
Yes please correct those subtitles!
Then maybe appreciate it for what it is...and don't concern yourself with perfection. Namaste
"I don't want to suffer and I want to find someone or something that can kill me of suffering?" You gotta fix this. Alan Watts is not saying, "Kill me of suffering." LOL!
I suggest just listen and dont look at the screen. The subtitles are full of errors.
Hare Krishna.
A good one by Alan. I think the earliest writings of Buddhism will be in Pali/Pakit. Sanskrit came later and still later came Classical Sanskrit which we have now. It's written in the dev nagri script which is around the 10th century I think. It may alter some meaning of certain words
Sanskrit is the older tongue, FYI. But it was fairly dead back in 600BC. Its revival later doesn't reflect on its age.
Watts knows :)
Love the message, not the messenger
Oh really? How come?
I hope you're in fact just making a good observation that the message is all that's important, rather than merely judging a person you never met and showing no love for fellow human beings who were just doing the best they could to help society. If the latter is so, then that shows you don't understand the message at all.
@@AD-kv9kj So true!
😮
Watts with the spot-on Japaneesy impression 😂
@ 3:54 there is a cut clip, words are missing
I m too stupid to understand
Along the way as wu wei and advaita vedanta no want is the greatest bliss let go of everything and remain as what remains pure consciousness atman brahman shiva beingness krishna consciousness Buddha nature christ consciousness its all the same thing there is no separateness go beyond the body mind beyond concepts beyond idea's imagination beyond even beyondness and just be abide in the self, namaste 🙏 let there be peace let there be love for all beings universal om 🕉 shanti shanti shanti 🕉 🙏
Thanks very much for your work.
Only a comment, the subtitles are no so faithful to the speech, and it could bring confusion and or wrong ideas, it could be better not to put subtitles or do it more careful.
Thanks again
How nicely said.
I dont mind that he was an alcoholic. The fact that he was actually makes me think that no one is perfect and its totally ok
He never tried to convince anyone of anything, he just liked talking and people like listening, thats all
Truth conqs.
The trap of others forms a collective trap. First you need to free your self from That trap. Then your own.
I've also heard it posited in reverse. That you must first free yourself if you hope to help others out of the trap.
Ok first, just as I was about to begin this statement, all the lights around me flashed off and then back on, so this comment which I debated on leaving, is meant to be.
To blow out in Alan's perception isn't necessarily wrong nor right, but let's break down the point of breathing like Watts pointed out. To breathe in, is to fill up, take in..consume. To blow out is just the opposite of such actions. To blow out in breathing analogies, is to let go, release, detach, and is no longer you but a part of self was influenced at some point. Studying myself for a decade, I'm no where near this space consistently, but I have been in and out. Which leads me to something outside of this topic that's widely misperceived...
Enlightened spaces does not mean you transcend suffering in any matter or form. It's the complete opposite with one shift in internal awareness. In the light is the end is Enlightened. Meaning that you are the awareness of every side of the coin, but that awareness that you trained your nervous system, body, mind, emotions, and spirit for, is that no matter the sum total of stimuli, your awareness does not waiver into one way or the other. That's why desire or want or need must no long be present because when this occurs, every desire is available at your reach. Buddha played a whole other game most may not be aware of, and that's the cat and mouse of awareness and detachment in every nanosecond.
Anyway, if you read this far..cool..if not, that's cool too. This is my first ever RUclips comment, and hopefully my last, as I choose to observe and pivot...
Click bating “the trap” over a set of beliefs in which people find liberation is a bit backwards don’t you think..
What is up with microphone?🤔
sounds like him
Trishna not Krishna in closed captioning.
Grave mistake at 4:16 ... it's not KRISHNA, but TRISHNA (craving.)
Lovely images, but what a lot of spelling mistakes in three languages!
Trishna, not Krishna (clinging, attachment)
Who runs this site? Suspicious...
✨🫂💚✨
Not Krishna, but trishna!
You are giving wrong definition for Krishna.
Thrishna! These sub titles are wrong!
These subtitles though... who wrote them?? They're so bad.
Well..all this and a dollar gets you a cup of coffee🤔
Where you get coffee for a buck?!
How is following Buddha any different than following Jesus ? I wonder because you say all religions are a bust, but yet you're telling us about Buddhism. Mixed signals Mr.Watts
Buddhism shouldn't be classified under religion because it's not one. Alan Watts spoke about this in one of his lectures. Reason being is it doesn't adhere or conform to a strict set of beliefs &/or rules.... There is no right or wrong way. We each have a different path in life to walk based on the choices we make.
And Buddhism doesn’t require you to follow Buddha .. you don’t need to pray to him and he won’t get angry with you if you don’t pray to him nor will he send you to heaven or hell .. u are looking at this through the lens of Abrahamic faiths..
Buddhism is not in the least about faith or divinity. Buddhism is a practical approach to internal peace.
Blind u r
The devil goes out it’s way to be deceptively clever it never stop until it owns ur soul
Funny that u mention it coz Buddha said that there is no individual soul.. without knowing Buddhism u cast aspersions and call it devil inspired ..
The entire animal kingdom has no problem existing. They don't argue what's up or down or all around. While spinning on a rock in the vacuum of space at over 1200 mikes per hour in what amounts to an invisible amount of universal plank time. Only humans convolute what's living for. Ha.lol
well said
@@murmerjangle3016 🙏🏻 🙏🏻What's more of a pointing you would never arrive to yourself. Well almost never. 🙏🏻. About this further.... In thinking about all new life coming in not here yet? About their base line understandings of chaste in any direction. In a world where inside out is not backwards...? You wonder about the human fabric's ability to stand up to ...a reality where no vulgarity exist or is called out as such therefore it's passed around to be understood as none exist? Drawn back far enough to capture.... Where some one knowingly attributed to damages upon other human strangers and at onset is far from found out? That one might embrace and be better off being accused or found out. Then continue in denial rather than in the self secrecy that was never suspect or challenged....Put to math and science... As sure as whisper down the lane's folly of accuracy is a given. Reality tells us so goes every institution's crystallized damage's coffers of denial's.
Alan Watts wasn't a Buddha and he more or less drank himself to death.Never the less he was a fascinating philosopher and his talks were stimulating and thought provoking.
The ultimate path to nirvana is getting drunk?
@@hafunland894he wasnt the path. He knew the path but didn’t fully surrender into it. And that’s okay.
“Do as I say, not as I do”
The ultimate path is attaining Breatheless state 😉 ... kevala Kumbakam... in doing that for long time the kundalini will rise leading to enlightment ..but for all this one needs a guru. Its what they say i have not experienced it , But the practices are effective the breathinng techniques will calm us down but it needs regular practice .
Infact only with suffering people turn inward so its a hidden blessing.
A brilliant man, alcoholic or not ❤
So you not only don't know anything about watts but even less about buddhism
Бода
Facts I’m not jealous of the devil or none of its disciples I c the results no thanks
Before Buddha, was I AM.
Wonderful - but GET RID OF THE CLICHE STEREOTYPICAL EMOTIONAL PIANO. Attempting to provoke an emotional response with your artificial insertion does Watts and the Buddha a disservice.
