One of the best things I've found in life, Alan Watts. He's like the teaching grandfather I've never had. Learnt so many things from him and other great people he knew and cited in his lectures, and for that I'm eternally grateful. My mind is pacified.
This lesson is fabulous! I can really relate to it. I meditate a lot. Sometimes people tell me that is a very egoistic thing to do because when I sit "for myself" I'm not doing anything "good" for anyone else. My answer is always: if everybody would make sure they were taking good care of themselves (and that is not more difficult than just meditating, just sitting, shikantaza, something everybody can do, even my cat does it all the time) the world would be a good place for everybody. It's not up to me to do "good" for others, because I don' t know what is good for other people and it's not up to me to decide what is good for other people. I'm trying to find out what is good for me. If that works I made the life of one person really better. That's an achievement! I'm not pretentious enough to think I can make someone else's life better. I don't want to be the monkey that kills the fish in order to save it from drowning (I love that analogy).
@@chaddybby1979 how you go about to achieve that for others is the question, everybody's situation is different, you can't force people to meditate or don't do drugs or alcohol, you can just tell them or convince them somehow, for that you have to know them better
I'm glad that I got over that falacy of doing things that are supposed to be "good" for you. Alan explained it very well and in some interview talking about it he cited C. G. Jung: "Life itself is a disease with a very bad prognostic. It lingers on for years and invariably ends with death". He was joking, but he said this because it's how most people see life. So they try constantly to get rid of this disease by doing things that are supposed to be good for the sickness, and they try to get better. Sort of like taking aspirins. The problem comes when you give aspirins to another person that does not need them and you end up causing the reverse effect.
When Alan Watts was on it, he was absolutely on it! This excerpt is one such peak moment from the great teacher. Beware the person of one book, one outlook, one idea. Beware the halo polishers, virtue signallers & other manipulators of others. Let it be! Speaking words of wisdom, let it be! What is Zen is Zen, what is not Zen is also Zen. Doing non-doing, all is finished. The point is there is no point. Breathing is virtue. Seeing is virtue. Marvellous, succinct, seductively sanguine & simply sublime. Thank you Alan Watts, RIP. Namaste.
This was such an eye-opening discussion on the complexities of 'doing good' and how it can unintentionally cause harm. I once worked with someone who was constantly trying to improve themselves but found that their well-meaning efforts were often met with frustration. Watching this video made them realize that sometimes, overthinking and forcing growth can backfire. It's a delicate balance between self-awareness and allowing things to unfold naturally. Thank you for presenting this in such a profound and engaging way!
This is the one that most helped me move on from being a people pleaser (mostly). On self improvement, I may have over corrected, but I cringe everytime work start talking about doing a self-improvement leadership program.
these videos are good but there’s a book called rapid manifestation secrets by marie runner, and it shows you how to really activate your manifestation energy
Humanity needs leaders who can guarantee: health, education, freedom, human rights, the reduction of suffering, the right to happiness and love, social justice, peace and security, environmental protection, solidarity and cooperation, access to clean water and food, equality gender, respect for diversity, right to decent work, democratic participation, transparency and government accountability, child protection, non-violence, access to justice, right to privacy. This should be the alphabet of politicians.
if my cancer comes back i don't want treating, just make sure i have no pain and keep my dignity. i agree that humanity does not change only fashion and technology
Being positive can only help & I wish you heap's as I have two very close friends in a similar situation right now and chemo and radiotherapy definitely take their toll so one is continuing the other with bone cancer is going herbalist route. But now I've got them to see life differently resulting in reassessing many things, particularly what matters to them so it's a blessing in itself. Stay strong and keep your faith in yourself.
hey..did you know that cannabis essential oil will get rid of that cancer? yup. and remember that cancer feeds on sugar. don't eat any form of sugar. not even fruit. also.. better to alkaline your body drink purified alkaline water. no chemicals.. organic everything I'd possibly. wash all vegetables for 1 minute with baking soda and vinegar. that will get rid of the "round up." good luck!! and don't go to the dr. don't get biopsy. good luck 😊
I don’t know how you get these video’s and how there made these Alan watts video’s but keep it up I’m loving them very well made and don’t know don’t care even if it’s an ai but I don’t care I’m loving it listing and learning and opening my mind to all thoughts people every other view I have on race religion country’s sex and lots more cheers from Australia I think you really are a time travelling back recorded Alan then come back and then learned how to work computers and found out the power of our network and editing and shering these paces of master paces my favourite video is the one of death I’m not a pace and will never fear death and like John Kramer from saw someone made a edit too about tribute of John Kramer and I love that how life is hell but you must go though hell to know what heaven is
I can’t remember who to credit for this quote “ I would rather be hated for who I am, then loved for who I am not” “God must grow weary of being called down on either side of every conflict” When I speak of God I am talking about the universal life force that flows through everything, not some old guy that lives in the sky.
Makes absolute sense to me. Look at diabetes for example. Not that long ago people just died from it. Now we can keep those people alive and therefore those people breed and now it’s becoming more and more common.
I look forward to playing the game, until we win, just as my ancestors did.. If you can't understand that, then I guess we both will endure the very end.....

"It's time to wake up".. Yeah, right! That's like saying it's time to wake up to the correct answer to a highly complex mathmatical equation without first having a thorough knowledge of mathmatics and then actually going through all the necessary steps leading up to the correct answer. Or in other words, IMPOSSIBLE! ☝️
if you know what is good for you you would already be improved is false because like a three we grow step by step every minute every day. If I want a fit body day by day I workout learn and accend. I have listen to Alan watts for a long time and now I start understand where he is wrong. because there is true wisdom in his speeches. What is god is what to strive for because that is fun! he always talks about life being a play. So to do nothing in the way we give up is not fun because then we do nothing. what is fun however is to create a life that is filled with the type off things we like and to do that we will do what is called improve. But its not about getting the goodie like Alan says its about getting the Goodie and everything in between. Thinking about the goodie, seeing the goodie work and fight for the goodie until we have the goodie and then we can enjoy it. So I love Alan watts because he challenge the mind to a new way of thinking but I don't agree because the fun off life is life to live and to grow in your own pace to the best you can be.
Life it just a testing that will taking you between heaven or hell after this life and you just have one way ticket to bring yourself to heaven not hell on eternal life..i just remind you all that end of time is near prepared with do charity to your goodness in eternal life...
There is some truth in this but I think it also lacks some things. What does good mean in the context of this video? Good has not been defined so it may be heavily subjective. You may not always know what is good for you, but if you're trying to find out and failing on your way, is it a bad thing having tried? Is doing science and trying to find a way inherently a bad thing because you never can be sure the things you will provide good? I can totally understand how forcing political views or democracy, or any societal virtues on other nations can do harm to those. I can also see how you can harm yourself if you think too fast and take the first solution that comes to mind without analyzing your problem. Doing anything can cause bad, if you want it so. Every action you take, because you don't know about its consequences. So what is the gist of this talk? Never taking any kind of action because you cannot know it does good? Or is it about (not) worrying about things you cannot control?
How can a group of people find what is good for them apart from repeatedly talk about what they think is good for them and how their current situation could be improved? Collectively looking for a solution that suits everyone while still maintaining space for every individual to find their own way. Would total subordination to one of the group and not talking about individual needs be better? And there is always the question left what is considered good in this context. The whole talk is about something that hasn't even been defined properly.
Alan Wats was a Liar and a Deceiver From the UnConscious Hell ❤️ To the Conscious Hell 💚 Until the Paradise of Consciousness 💜 Stay Awake Not Woke ❤️ 💚 💜
As above, so below. If the road to Hell is paved with good intentions, does that mean that the Stairway to Heaven is built upon by bad decisions? Remember: Christ calls all sinners to repent, for it is not the healthy who need the physician.
Examine further the principle you propose. Heaven and Hell are concepts to grasp the polarization at their extremes. This experience is infinite, on all 3 Great Planes (physical, mental, & spiritual); inherently the principle of Correspondence. Reach further, it doesn’t stop at the rudimentary idea of orthodox Heaven and Hell.
@@Murdasome This is why I ask. I have my reasons for that question. I have a tough time seeing the silver lining with these things. I know the struggles of both Light and Dark, but they go deeper. It's strange that humans are caught up in between all this nonsense 😞
@@stevej.7926 100%. The intonation is all wrong and surely the message is not Alan’s. Watch one of his lectures posted years ago before this ai cancer spread.
Jesus has already secured life, perfection, and immortality for all of the created creatures of God…even the peeps which don’t believe…yet❤😊. This man is very well reasoning, but is hindered in understanding because he is unaware that God is in control of all things, and that God has subjected(temporarily) and bound all humanity to corruption, vanity, and death. Knowing this allows us to be comfortable in our constant state of discomfort.
Alan Watts reminds me that I have always been complete, after I have spent so much time trying to convince myself that I am not

Wouldn't a state of less suffering be better for others?
I feel the same way. Get in the center of my circle first. I see better 😊

What works for one doesn't work for all but encouragement to all in the search of something better is positive.

Makes absolute sense to me. Look at diabetes for example. Not that long ago people just died from it. Now we can keep those people alive and therefore those people breed and now it’s becoming more and more common.
You also have to take in account of the highly processed sugars they put in foods
Diabetes is largely avoidable.
Ignorance is not awareness.
