One thing I love about Alan Watt's speeches, is that he's not too on the nose about religion, but teaches how to live a good life, and generally just exist, without feeling compelled to follow or adhere to a higher power's wishes, we truly need more people like him today, because the world is beyond lost these days, and everything is backwards...
**The meaning of life is just to be alive. It is so plain and so obvious and so simple. And yet, everybody rushes around in a great panic as if it were necessary to achieve something beyond themselves.**
Dude Alan watts.... You got it man. You had it. Probably the most enlightened man I've listened to besides Jesus
Alan Watts is probably the most intelligent human being I’ve ever listened to. Great stuff.

Listening to this wise man is like finding your backpack again with your map and your compass and some water after having lost it on a dark night of strolling through the desert.

Another brilliant, fascinating teaching. Thank you! 💫🙏
Thanks for this its really helpful
Excellent!
Interesting and amazing . Thank you 🌷🙏🏻
I resonate so much with the teaching that we have all come into the world with a purpose and a mission. This teaching emphasizes that this world is a place of work and that we came from a place of rest to which we will return to once we leave here. It is so well presented in a book by Marshall Vian Summers called - _Greater Community Spirituality_ - it's such a great book, and it's free online!
This is diametrically opposite of what Alan Watts was saying and is more of an intuitive extension of our feelings towards our parents, how we always felt expected to be someone by them, expected to mold into our role whatever it is in whatever society. It's a powerful and basic instinct, but also one that loses its usefulness once we're grown up and no longer need it to survive. We can instead poke it and see what it is
@@NJ-wb1cz What you describe is definitely real but what I am talking about is a deeper need of the soul. It is what keeps us going in search of the truth about our life. Sometimes it goes diametrically opposite to what our parents expected of us. Sometimes we have to disappoint other people to do what we know is right, what we know keeps us moving on this road of discovery. I know I feel this strongly, although not everyone does.
@@oneworldonehome it's not about literally wanting what your parents expected you to be, like wanting to be a plumber :) it's this whole background assumption and reliance on something big and external and purpose in general. When we were tiny, we were completely vulnerable and our parents were our everything, in total control of us and our lives, except we didn't understand any of that in the terms we use now. The memories and dispositions we had when we're like 2 weeks old when we didn't even have the concept of a "parent" can linger in vague wordless ideas and feelings and directions, and obtain new forms, and feel incredibly deep and foundational to what existence is.
For some it may be natural to express it as the idea of a single omni present all powerful God, for others it may more naturaly be expressed with the idea of purpose of their life or any other need for an external structure of some sorts that tells them who they are or must be that they fulfill in accordance to their cultural ideas about the world. But like any memories and dispositions and beliefs we accumulated as part of our adaptation to reality, these things can be introspected and poked to see if they are still representative of the world we live in, or just gnawing needs that made sense only in a world that doesn't exist anymore
These things often tend to shed when a person goes down some kind of meditative path where they listen to themselves with endless curiosity and don't settle on seeing internal things as deeply important unquestionable things and don't just follow and satisfy those things. It's kind of that moment when the search ends not by finding an optimal thing that fills the hole, but by the person realizing that there was nothing to search for and that no search was needed
dear Ivan, you completely missed his point, I think. but that's okay. listen to his other lectures. good day.
This helps me understand why so many people create a chaotic life
we all do, just by existing.
Really interesting man and helpful in explaining the DAO and Yin/Yang. Thanks for letting me discover him.
Motivation can also lead to increased satisfaction. #motivationix

If you take the easy life it will be hard
Don't work, play......

The point of this speech isn’t to work, it’s unnecessary and impossible to try to be who are. The opposite of work, to accept the truth of yourself, to get out of your own way. Stop working at being yourself and accept yourself. It’s unnecessary to be in pain, to assure yourself you exist. To realize life is all things light and dark, and one without the other would make itself nonexistent.
Learn to find happiness well in a struggle and you're there....

Hmm...
I know it doesn't sound proper but Watts IS a badass
Each problem that I solved became a rule which served afterward to solve other problems.

Allan Watts is kind of a Commissioner Gordan of Spirituality

Let's go work in the kitchen and observe the movement of the course of short order cooking. The fast but takes time food order. Right up.
Row Row Row your boat gently down the stream merrily merrily merrily merrily life is but a dream.

Haha .. the "contorted" Jesus statue.
Lol.. I sometimes don't realize how often we use pain and struggle to overcome so many precipices. But...
Lol..I think the Jesus on a cross is messed up.
There's a lot of mofos who suffered a lot of messed up stuff. The thing we should highlight about Jesus is how he was when he *was* here.
That’s not true in its entirety, only if you are a pragmatic thinker over practical you will see things the way Alan is speaking of, that’s why most spiritual books like the Bible and Dhammapada from Gautama siddhartha illustrate, for the Bible God says that all the beings he created are good, and Gautama Buddha also illustrates this with bees and flowers, as he mentions not crushing or plucking the flower, and not disturbing the bees by knowing they will not attack him if he is gentle with them.
So it’s important to know to let things be and also keep to your own rhythm, than and there you can be doing your part with both enjoying seeing them, and yet not disturbing either your or their ends.
Watts gets it though, the Dao teaches this, a unity without unity, and detachments from transitory things. I appreciate Alan’s explanation of our defaults as well, which is imperative to both acknowledge and yet discarded, and yet at the same time kept in check, for an unguarded mind leads to ruined. This is why I agree with Alan about the spiritual foresight. You have the former mentioned, pragmatic, practical, and the higher end of mysticism, the middle ground we all should be is practical, for practicalities will drive us to doubt less and trust more. All the while at least knowing the mystical properties of the Bible/Quran, Tao te Ching/four-classics, Buddhist books, Hindu Vedas and other such holy books.

I don't understand, what does he mean he jumps from realisation of self centered, to pain growing character, to being balanced with emotion I think? Sure You should be the most important person in your life but pain will cause helplessness, and emotions are unreliable
that's not a fruit fly.
What BOLLOCKS & HUGE GENERALISATIONS, THIS GUY IS WHAT? WHO IS HE , HIS PROPENSITY FOR B.S. IS AWESOME !
It's like screaming at an artist that their painting is all off and doesn't at all look identical to a photograph and where's the proof of this painting anyway, it's total bs
Caps lock is yelling on social media stfu
Atleast he can put together a cohesive thought.
Lol. You just don't get it. Wishing you well to find your own tune you can resonate with. This one somehow worked for me after searching a lot.. we are all wired differently
It's funny how someone can critique an intelligent human being and not even know how to spell or write a sentence. Good luck buddy!
