That's being a little dramatic, don't ya think?? He was simply lucky to live a privileged life, go to some of the finest schools, summer in the South of France with wealthy people into Eastern philosophy, ended up having a mother-in-law who was very influential within the NY Buddhist community, then after moving to Cali, and working at Berkley, and being in some television broadcast, became chummy with many influential people including celebrities who just loved his knowledge in all things Zen and Eastern philosophy, which gave Alan a lucrative career. I'm not saying he was a grifter, or didn't have some wisdom to impart, but he was little out of touch with the common person, although I do think he was genuine and truly cared about helping people live their best life spiritually.
one thing i learned about US history is the problems we can see today, are the very same problems we had yesterday, are the same we had 200 year ago in the Gilded age. they had been around since the very founding of the country. i always fascinates me how Allen watts died such along time ago, but his words have relevant to this very day, and id expect for hundreds of years to come.
The worship of the future and the freedom money promises all stem from the desire to live forever. Eternal life is the promise, time is the frustration of that reality.
This is why I'm depressed I see the whole societal system for what it is and nothing can do to stop it, as soon as you step out of line the organism whips you back inline.
No it does not! You can walk away from it all and be FREE OF IT, with GREAT JOY visiting you all along the way. The System will only fight you if if fears you are ATTACKING IT. So don't give it that kind of energy. Put your FIRE into CREATING your own world first, and all else will be added unto you!
"...so the mentality that doesn't recognize the importance of watching a rain drop crawl down a window @3:18 Is the one that's creating the trouble in the world today." This Insight sucks but LOVE the truth of it, because then you see it always was & always will be.... Guess it's built into the 3D board game of life on earth 👀 see it?
@HARRYSHANNON-p3i with Alan Watts & so many others being shared, the amount of clarity coming through seems to be speeding up time, and so much of it is bitter/sweet like this insightful nugget 👍
That's the sad part....it doesn't take our whole life to be free of it. Once you connect to your own SOURCE POWER, and not THEIRS, you are FREE! It's AWESOME when you do finally break free! You've got to want it badly enough to do it, however.
This level of unadulterated wisdom may soon become difficult to find, if not impossible. Absorb it, while you still can. Intellectualism has become an endangered species. As are we all.
@@doc7569what’s the name of the talk. Sorry I have to ask. In our age of ai, anything that is not ai needs proof. Because almost everything on the internet these days is ai generated misrepresentation of great thought leaders of the past. I hope this channel won’t do such cheap shit given how great they were till now. But I have seen far too many influencers and content creators fall down to cheap attention grabbing shit once they become full of followers.
He was so before our time, yet his deep wisdom still echos and teaches. Thank you. Namaste
I see it different : he was in his Now.
Are you & I in our Now ?

The worship of the future and the freedom money promises all stem from the desire to live forever. Eternal life is the promise, time is the frustration of that reality.
And yet we all do have ETERNAL LIFE....just not in ONE BODY!

He is correct! Yet most of us spend all our lives trying to get out of the matrix!!

The brain is the greatest App that's not commonly used like it was before.

Your addition of music is distracting.

Yes...that's not ai
Because Ai is also learning from the master
Nope, this one is from the Future of Politics lecture. Look it up.
