    Stop and look. Look at your hand. Look at the table. Look at your loved one and see the ineffable life in front of you. Unbelievably complex and subtle. Infinitely unique and ever-changing. The identical differences of the Divine shining out of you and into your own eyes.

      I was born one year after his passing to the afterlife. It took me almost 50 years to learn to know about him.
      Alan Watts is a beacon of wisdom in both great depth and width. Listening 5 minutes to his lectures are much more nourishment for my soul than enduring decades of sermonising from the pious hypocrites in all churches and mosques together.

    • @chriscanon8829
      @chriscanon8829 4 года назад +2

      @ What does that even mean? What kind of God? Why does that matter?? Spirituality is far more than theism. He goes into this in great depth in many of his speeches.

    • @chriscanon8829
      @chriscanon8829 3 года назад +1

      @ He's talking about the inevitability of death and the importance of relaxing when contemplating the nature of death and dying. We're all going to die lol. Good religion teaches us how to die well and how to live in a way that brings honor to your life in the face of death.
      In other places Watts does talk about suicide in the context of the writings of Camus, who proposed that the greatest philosophical question is whether or not to commit suicide. And the question isn't some easily apparent no. Yet, these writings help those who might contemplate this question "to be or not to be" with the proper attitude and hopefully with enough contemplation on the beauty of life even in its absurdity to live life to the fullest.

    • @chriscanon8829
      @chriscanon8829 3 года назад +1

      @ For those of us who have rejected the theistic model, for numerous reasons, but also find the "fully automatic model" to be lacking, Watts provides a model of reality that is truly compelling, meaningful, and I think wonderful. Read through the comments on how well people feel about it and how its helped their depression, anxiety and so forth. If you hold tightly onto the theistic model then then this isn't going to do anything for you. He talks about the idea of God and its flaws many times elsewhere.

    Doing what we have done, despite the war etc, I would have no issue evolving from slime. The harder your beginnings, the more difficult it is. The more difficult it is, hopefully, the better it (we) become. I am fine with being slime that rose up from the oceans.
    Also, faith implies belief without knowing. I have faith only in our instincts to survive. But these instincts to survive tend to push into directions which are self-serving, but that is what makes life interesting, to me. Having these urges, these instincts, to self-preserve, but then the other side which would do anything to help another also survive, which is also instinct.
