I saw this by accident on PBS one summer day flipping thru channels (Turning the dial by hand!). I'd never heard anyone talk like this but it made so much sense I had to stop and listen. Every word made an impression on my 15 yr old brain and I have never forgotten it. How marvelous to see and remember it once again as I was and as I am today.
1993 I found a book a seconhand book The title is The Book On the taboo againts knowing who you are by Allan watts. This book change me alot then most of my friend families seems like I became a strange/stranger for them. I read the book many times. Now my mind opened like eyes. And Alan Wats is like My teacher he helped me change my life. I'm a filipino/philippines. When I read the book theres a dictionary biside me hahaha. Alan Watts you help me a lot. When I listend his video I feel like I'm in front of him.
Thank you for sharing this message, in 1971 Allan Watts were saying we were at a dead end, what would he say now in 2024 😢. We are in state of calamity.
Simplify your life. Get to the point of your life where you can just be and say these words: I work. I eat. I rest. I am at peace. It is good. I seek nothing and I seek no place to be.
I love Alan Watts. He was a great teacher with wisdom to help guide humanity. We so desperately need these enlightened people to teach us the path to our true nature.❤❤❤
I had a dream with one of those wheels in it. People were coming back to earth in those wheels that spun really fast, and it creates light that transported people back to earth.
If you like Alan Watts, this one is as keeper. If you discovered just now Alan Watts, you might read enough to discover his very own fallacies, which made him a Man with insecurities about women, death, life, nature and what encompasses our very own insecurities. He did not pass peacefully, making him even more relatable as a fellow human rather than a prophet.
Word. It’s his essential vulnerabilities and humility that make his work so relatable and (at least for the time) revolutionary in the western world. He’s my self help hero.
In my humble opinion Alan is at his most eloquent when he talks about the real meaning of Christianity. Its particularly powerful because he originally trained as a priest . His beautiful talks on the subject are available on RUclips. I would urge the Pope , Archbishop of Canterbury and other leading Christian teachers , to listen to these talks in order to understand the Christianity you should be preaching .🙏✝️🕉️
I've sense this deep within myself for years and it's profound and emotional to hear it put into such amazing words that this man uses... what a talent. Such deep thinking with eloquent use of words. An actual delight. Enjoy your life.❤

Thanks again for your like and I am going through lung cancer for about seven months and before that I had a severe case of sepsis and was on IV treatment pump machine for almost a week and then hospital 🏥 cat scan showed them I had a large mass in my left lung and it's almost completely white and then I was accepting death and started watching Allen Watts and he has shown me that it's okay 🆗 to be able to flow with the energy of life 💘
Wowwww in the 70 ? He was definitely a higher being , Came to educate ❤️❤️🙏🏾. To think those knowledge have always exist in that fashion , would have help me with my sufferings so tremendously over the years …
In the 70's it was Vietnam, Watergate, Kent State, Roe vs. Wade, Inflation etc. Nothing changes, it has always been like this, in every decade. It's just the perpetual dance of Yin & Yang. In the 5th century BC Lao Tzu wrote the universe is forever out of control. Just enjoy the show and don't get caught up in the drama. For every bad there is an equal and opposite good. :)
I grew up not trusting "the system", doubting the adults around me and their agenda, academia, banking, suburbia, etc. etc. etc. ... thanks to some few words from Allan Watts, now I know why. A content life to all. Peace to humanity. Sincerely, A Right-Wing Hawk
Actually extra visuals and background music are currently accepted tools for manipulation, and are completely unnecessary. The message should stand alone in the time it was created to show that the ideals presented are in fact timeless.
@@Taldaran I agree and apologize, but Alan Watts' Estate requires it when using his recordings to make videos. Although sometimes I will throw in a funny clip, I try to stick to what fits best with his words/meaning, and he had a great sense of humor. To listen to original unedited recordings, they have them on their website at AlanWatts.org
“Cut! Cut. No, not like that, like this! Wardrobe! I’m so sorry, but this program is terribly important, and it’s greatly important that we get our meaning across”
Advice wanted please: he says we are trying to straighten ourselves out in a wiggly world.. I am in rehab currently getting sober, and the staff here are trying to help me create a routine or a regiment. Yet I see things differently but don't really have the words for it. It does seem though, that the brain does like to know what is coming and a routine can be healthy. Anyone have any advice on this? What would Alan do haha
Routine is massively helpful at most, promotes good eating and sleep regulation and helps you make good health choices and create a good self image. All fundamental in self love/respect. Applies to a lot of people,I struggle with tight routine so I’m gonna start just setting goals for each day, and just working to accomplish them rather than keep a rigid structure
@@seanwaters2577 you’re welcome dude. I was recently let go by someone I truly love, and they treated me like a piece of dirt on their shoe because I messed up. They are autistic and messed my whole life up ‘out of care’ The massive difference in my perception of what happened and what they said happened caused massive cognitive dissonance in my mind I.e they hurt me because they loved me. Made 0 sense to me. Their reasoning didn’t line up with their actions and I was told they couldn’t love me because I didn’t love myself. I haven’t got all the answers dude, but I find it easier to help others than I do myself. I’m glad my words resonated and I wish you the best of luck. The fact you are trying to change says a lot about you. You are worth it dude.
I could be wrong but I think he got the jumper from a rural Mexican village where they make quality clothes.. I remember him saying in a video it's the only place left to get real clothing
I wonder if it would help to put the trashed steal, iron, what not back where it came from, from where it got mined when we’re ready to dispose of it ?
It's hard not to be overstimulated and desensitized these days lol. Maybe try meditating, it helps a ton and there are a bunch of guided meditations on youtube
Do we need a psychiatrist, a phsychologist, a guru, a counseler, a priest, or can we understand for ourselves through close observations of the workings of the mind? At least we are surrounded by plenty of source material. 😅
Unnecessary. Alan Watts needs no subliminal addition to drive consciousness other than what was provided in the original format. To alter content of the message implies incapability of the viewers use of individual rational thought.
What?! What kind of technology existed in the 70's to do this? People wandering around in fields with cordless microphones attached to their person making clear crisp voice recordings? Sorry I worked in 8 mm and 16 mm in the 70's and, of course, there was no video -- let alone digital. And where did they hang the mic from -- the clouds? If you read the description closely you'll see it's a bunch of garbled information. Mark Watts was born in 1973 so he clearly did not "make" this video in the 70's. I mean the voice is clearly not connected to the image. C'mon people we're going to have to grow some discernment if we're to live in this fake world. Love Alan Watts. Most important public intellectual in my life.
He's at Druid Heights, which is a cabin. So when he is walking around in fields, he is actually right outside of that cabin, so he probably has a corded mic. This was a television special and the information is correct and according to the ending credits and Alan Watts' estate, run by his Son. Alan Watts died within a few years of recording this. I am not sure why you think there were no videos in the 70's, or if I am misunderstanding what you are saying? Also, the voice is connected to the recording and does line up, lol I'm not sure where you are getting that from. Even when he is talking in the distance you can see his gestures line up with what he is saying. The only thing I added was images and background music, because it is required when using Alan Watts material. I appreciate your discernment, but I'm not here to fool or mislead anyone.
There were no videos in the 1970's. I worked on music videos back then. You don't know why I think that? I think it because it's a fact. His son didn't create this he would have been about 5 years old at that time. I know when Alan Watts died, but thanks.
I think all the stupidity of man really killed him. I can imagine the anguish in being so aware of what's happening in the world and having to live with it. At least he lived the way he wanted - I'm sure he wasn't scared of death
Very beautiful and inspiring

I love Alan Watts. He was a great teacher with wisdom to help guide humanity. We so desperately need these enlightened people to teach us the path to our true nature.❤❤❤
There is no one to guide and no one to be guided. Everything is NOW. Breath being breathed. Sensations abd emotions being felt.
I had a dream with one of those wheels in it. People were coming back to earth in those wheels that spun really fast, and it creates light that transported people back to earth.
This is one of the most beautiful lectures by Mr Watts. Bravo. This is truth that resonates.

What's with the stock video footage? Show us the unedited version which shows Alan on his property.
It's required by his Estate when using Alan Watts' footage or recordings to add music and imagery
To think that Watts self-destructed just 2 years later.
❤❤❤
I hate other I which I felt different but I don't , I try not to desire but I fail, I can't listen to him cause it's what I listen to when I sleep!
