Alan Watts was a person who played with words to make us understand what we already know.
And to some, what they had not thought about perhaps?
@@davidlangelaan1742I think they mean knowing deep down or subconsciously. Not that everybody already thought this
Alan watts has the ability to bring peace inside to any human being
Then why am I miffed and thinking he's some hippy pot smoking jerk right now ?
If Watts is in hell...where's the peace?!!
Alan was a master of life and was able to connect the dots of consciousness in words. Such a gift to society.
Blasphemous
Don't think so 😊
@@Honestandtruth lol
So true, what a teacher ☺️ so much to learn
You still haven’t got the point. God doesn’t relatively exist. It’s Because nimrods don’t understand that God is energy. Runs through every way. It’s your emotions your process the electrons. He has no nature. We don’t have rules but to take care of ourself and everyone who makes her breath.
I can smoke a tobacco pipe around a log fire and listen to this man all night.
I'm with you on that! 👍🏿
I listen to him a few nights a week for about an hour while smoking my pipe on the back porch😌. It's awesome. Very relaxing for me. I just zone everything out except his voice and clear my mind.
Yes. Truly.
Nothing new here
I would love to find friends like this 😢
"The image of god has a far more powerful effect on our emotions than our ideas"
This is a very powerful statement
Wow❤
What exactly does he mean by this, if you don't mind me asking?
@@namesarentcool7239 Hello - We are ALL segments of creation, We are microcosmic creators, We are Gods!
God is not a special personality, everyone is God in their own ways….
That depends upon the idea, doesn't it? Some ideas are very powerful - and what image of God are you referring to?
Alan Watts was a cool cat. We need more people in the world like him today. Stand out. Don’t fit in.
The only thing left for you to do in life is to work, eat, and rest. Even if you don’t have a 9-5 job- do something no matter how meaningless it may seem. There’s nothing more for you to do. Just live life. That is the meaning. Get to the point in your life where you can say- I seek nothing. I seek no place to be. I am at peace, and it is good. 👍

We can feel the presence of god...
By mediating ,and praying and affirmation ,thus lifting our mind to the higher consciousness....
After trying so many times,at the age of 28 i felt the tremendous presence of god and i was shocked,and scared..
Not an easy task ...but i was lucky ,for a week i was in a state of joy,peace and love ,,so amazing feeling i couldn't believe my self.and concious level was raised..
how did you do it

It took me until I was 39 years old to know that energy presence of god. I am so appreciative of it.
@anthonyquinn7246 By believing and Trusting God and have faith...... very Simple 😅❤😂
My understanding of God wasn't achieved by that, it was by looking to the sky when I was being abused and cursed by born to my set family. God, is that which is achievable, or not. That's all that God is. God is achieved by power, not love or meditation.

Meaning?
Watts spent most of his life battling alcoholism and never did find what he was looking for.

@@MrEpicFlair Well I’m glad you know who you are because nobody else gives a shit 😘
I don't know what to say. This has put my life into perspective.
As a person who has attempted to self-delete twice, I no longer feel a sense of hopelessness. I've never been religious, nor have I been one to pray; however, this video has made me feel entirely different.
Nonetheless, I am grateful for the upload. I will research all of the citations Mr. Watts mentioned and see where it takes me. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
Watts alluded to suicide a few times. Basically said it was permissible but to live before you go.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who is happy that you did NOT "self-delete" (that's an original way of putting it).
If you fail at self-termination, I think it's because, *fortunately* , you don't *really* want to cease existence. You want someone to understand just how much you are hurting. I hear you. I have thoughts like this, myself. Don't give up.

So interesting because I had the exact same thing going on a few years ago when I heard Alan the first time. Dude saved my life
If alan watts came centuries ago, he would be a prophet.
His qualities are more than a prophet. It is unfortunate that he appeared in our time.
The concept of prophet is currently not entertained. People won't qualify anyone as prophet even if he talks about deeper things unlike the past.
He would have been put to pyre 🔥😳
Prophets are chosen by God the Eternal Father, not self-appointed because they read the Bible or some other book and feel like they have something to say to the world. The physical and exalted Man who is Elohim will chose his mouthpiece and ordain his prophet and Apostles with the keys and authority of the priesthood of God.
And who is saying this? God himself or someone speaking for him. Who is God? What does he say? Anything God says is always in the past. These are mere works of people. Why is he not saying anything now?
I've been thinking along these lines for a long while.
I'm right there with you! After being stuck in a cult, I'm done with religion, I'm feeling exactly as he's describing now. I'm still stuck in at the moment, tho.
This is like a masterful description of my exact thoughts and beliefs. I could have never said it anywhere near as well as he did. But this hit me right in the gut bc its exactly how I feel about real spirituality and god. Ive never believed god was a being. That has never been a possibility to me. Its way way more complicated than that. Not even comparable. Love this guys philosophy.
These are exactly my thoughts. Alan watts can explain the ineffable. His words even brought me to tears because he exactly described how i feel about this topic, but i could never myself understand it or translate into words.
For most of my life I have hovered between "non religious theism", meaning I believed in God or a "higher power" but rejected all worldly religions, and made no attempts to define it, and agnostic atheism which means I am simply not sure if any God or higher power exists. So far this video seems to define "non religious theism" fairly well.

I once slipped into a mystical experience, long before I even knew who Alan Watts was, and this concept of the universe being the canvas of which things and life can exist was something I thought was a personal revelation of the universe. Now I know that i am not the only one who has experienced this revelation. Alan Watts is a wonderful teacher who is able to contextualize these things to the uninitiated.

Religion attaches itself to something that is very real, which is the fact that we do matter.
The universe harbors life, and serves no greater purpose than to provide a place for life to happen.
Do not search for answers you cannot find. Just because you can ask the question doesn't mean it has an answer. The Universe could know the same as you and it has been around for billions of years which is insignificant if you don't know if there's an end. The fact that nothing can't exist because nothing is something.
@@scottmccain1537 "The fact that nothing can't exist because nothing is something."
Exactly, {Nothing} truly is {Something}, therefor "nothing" does not exist, and this can be proven with set theory.
This statement is the reason why the question "Why is there something and not nothing?" asked by the religious folk is a stupid question. {Nothing} is not the opposite of {Something}, because {Nothing} itself is {Something}. {Something} has no opposites.
What is the probability of picking a green ball in a bag full of only green balls? Its a 100% probability.
What is the probability of the existence of {Something}, if {Something} is the only option? A 100% probability.
So when a religious person asks me, "Why is there something, and not nothing?"
Answer is:
{Something} exists, because "Nothing" does not.
None have ever understood this answer.
The universe got me this far, so i just go with the flow.

Alan Watts to me has always been the very best spiritual teacher/philosopher of all time.
From the moment I first heard one of his lectures It never occurred to that he ever passed away.
& Whenever I listen to him, I can feel that he teaches from eternity and through his great lectures does he still live on strong.
The level of insight I get from this man I haven't gotten anywhere else in my life so far from anyone.
What I haven't done yet is find all his teachings in full that aren't heavily edited or monetized. All people
deserve to hear him speak freely. 💯
I regard him as the modern bhuda. his books are too sublime.
His son did much of the recording of his lectures. He has an archive online i believe. Currently he is collaborating with some folks who offer the "be here now" network, which included talks by Ram Dass as well.

@@chidozienwanedo9234 If you see Alan Watts as _the_ Buddha then perhaps it would be advisable to read/listen to more of what he's said about buddhahood and core concepts of Buddhism.
i had a similar experience. i fell in love with his speeches. listened every day for six months before finding out that he had passed away years ago. i literally mourned his death as if it had just happened.

Saying something doesn't make it true. Evidence is what makes it true. What the evidence shows is that we're evolved animals in a closed system and we eat each other. Survival of the fittest doesn't care at all about God.

Even death, evil, ego and suffering are a part of God's Leela ( divinity)

I had out of body experiences. When I died I saw a beautiful place. It was like a city on the clouds. Big white tall buildings, golden glowing city. Everything was perfect white and gold. But it was a momentum experience.
I was murdered, that’s why these visions appeared … but I came back into my body.
When it comes feeling the light and love, that was a different experience that I had. At that time I was alive, praying 🙏 when I was praying I felt beautiful supernatural warmth. I felt so much warmth and light. Freedom, it felt like there were windows opening in the sky, it felt like there was no darkness, only love and light. It felt safety, protection…

In the original Greek translation of the bible, Jesus says, "I am *A* son of god," not "I am *THE* son of god." The inference here could be that he was saying we're ALL sons of god. Or just god.
Psalm 82:6 - Jesus: "I have said, ye are gods."
If he had said this "Son of god" stuff in Hindu-India they would have replied, "Duh. Welcome aboard."
We are all god, pretending we are not.
God is a spirit, that voice that's always trying to lead you on the right path, that voice that pushes you to never give up, that voice that tells you to forgive, we are made in his image. That is evidence that he's real for the experience we can't comprehend, rather supernatural, no man or mammon will ever find out a mystery such as this.

Wow. How have I not heard this one yet. What an amazing piece. I liked Alan’s use of the word atheism. It was not the formal usage he admitted. It wasn’t about a lacking or denying of a supernatural inclination, but rather with a “profoundly natural” inclination, and in that sense “religious”.
I also like where he said “I advocate for atheism in the name of god”. … “and you see that is not atheism in the formal sense of the word. It is that which you can't put your finger on. That which always escapes you. That which is completely elusive.the blank. Seems to be absolutely necessary for there to be anything whatsoever. behind the father image, behind the mother image, behind the image of light inaccessible and behind the image of profound and abysmal darkness there's something else which we can't conceive of at all. Consciousness for example. Nobody can imagine what consciousness is.” … “Dionysius the Areopagite called it the luminous darkness. Nagarjuna called it Sunyata, the void. Shankara called it Brahman. That of which nothing at all can be said, Neti Neti. Beyond all conception whatsoever.
Also, I was about to quote one part of Alan watts, but find that I can’t can’t put the end quotes and now it’s just dumb because I’ve typed out the transcript lol anyways enjoy: “this is a profoundly religious attitude, because what this corresponds to is, practically, is an attitude to life of total trust… of letting go. When we form images of god, they’re all really exhibitions for our lack of faith. Something to hold onto. Something to grasp. But when we don’t grasp, we have the attitude of faith. If you let go of all the idols. You will of course discover that what this unknown is which is the foundation of the universe, is precisely you. It’s not the you, you think you are. No. It’s not your opinion of yourself. It’s not your idea or image of yourself. It’s not the chronic sense of muscular strain we call “I”. You can’t grasp it. Of course not. Why would you need to? Suppose you could. What would you do with it? And who would do what with it? You can never get at it. So there’s this profound central mystery and the attitude of faith is to stop chasing it. Stop grabbing it. Because if that happens, the most amazing things follow. But all these ideas of the spiritual, the godly, as this attitude of … ah … must … and we have laid down the laws which we are bound to follow. All this jazz. … is not the only way of being religious. And relating to the ineffable mystery that underlies ourselves and the world.
Ethical monotheism means that the governing power of this universe has some extremely specific and definite opinions and rules to how this universe. And if you don’t watch out you will go against the fundamental grain of universe and be punished. But there is this sense of authority and it’s not you. This Jewish, Christian Muslim approach makes people feel rather estranged.”
... I started reading comments as I listened, and as I read your comment it married up exactly at the point in the video, I glossed over a couple of your comments between, and it matched up again😂. I didn't mean to do it. Just thought it might interest you to know. Thanks - a fun moment.

For millennia, connotations of the word "God" have become so deteriorated. The terms Consciousness / Mind / Intelligence seem more relevant for these types of discussions. It seems that the concept of God is not experimentally testable. However, evidence for the effects of Consciousness / Mind / Intelligence are scientifically demonstrable.
The illogical, irrational, and unreasonable position of claiming that there is No Universal Mind / Consciousness / Intelligence (i.e. Atheism): The fallacy is the assumption that something is true (i.e. Universal Mind / Consciousness / Intelligence does not exist) unless proven otherwise. The Claimant making a negative claim (i.e. Universal Mind / Consciousness / Intelligence does not exist) cannot logically, rationally, and reasonably prove nonexistence. Because, for a Claimant to know that X does not exist would require the Claimant to possess 100% knowledge of all things with 100% certainty and 100% accuracy (i.e. omniscience).
Even mainstream secular scientists claim that approx. 95% of the Universe is still unknown (i.e. Dark Energy and Dark Matter). Of the remaining 5% of the Universe, only 0.0035% exists within the visible light spectrum which the human eye is capable of observing. Moreover, of all that is made of atoms and capable of being observed in this "Material" universe, 99.999999999% is actually empty space (Note: Scientists now believe that empty space is actually filled with "theoretical" Quantum or Vacuum Fluctuations. _"Vacuum fluctuations appear as virtual (i.e. non-material) particles, which are always created in particle-antiparticle pairs. Since they are created spontaneously without a source of energy, vacuum fluctuations and virtual particles are said to violate the conservation of energy. This is theoretically allowable because the particles annihilate each other within a time limit determined by the uncertainty principle so they are _*_not directly observable._*_ "_ (Wikipedia) The point being, despite its name, Virtual fluctuations or “Particles" are unobserved *non-material* theoretical entities. Therefore, there is much, much more that humanity does not know about the Universe and Reality than it does know. Based on just this information, the position of claiming to be Atheist is shown to be illogical, irrational and unreasonable.
*_“… Everyone who is seriously engaged in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that the laws of nature manifest the existence of a spirit vastly superior to that of men, and one in the face of which we with our modest powers must feel humble.”_* Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955), founder of modern physics (Theory of Relativity inter alia) and 1921 Nobel prize winner
*_“All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind (i.e. Observer). This mind is the matrix of all matter.”_* Max Plank (the Father of Quantum Physics)
Modern scientific discoveries in Genetics / biology have shown that functional / coded / digital Information (i.e. DNA code) is at the core of All Biological Systems. Without functional / coded / digital information, there is No biology. The only known source (i.e. cause) in the universe that has been Observed (i.e. Scientific Method) in nature to be capable of producing functional / coded / digital information, such as that found even in the most primitive biological systems, is mind / consciousness / intelligence.
The fact that DNA / genes (biological coded information) exists at all shows that a Consciousness / Intelligence / Mind is involved in the initial introduction and subsequent propagation of living systems. Undirected random material natural processes have never been observed in nature or experimentally demonstrated to be capable of producing Functional / Coded / Digital information such as that required for biological systems, even at the most primitive levels of biological life.
*_"Language: All Digital communications require a formal language, which in this context consists of all the information that the sender and receiver of the digital communication must both possess, in advance, in order for the communication to be successful."_* (Wikipedia: Digital Data) Inherent in DNA is language. Language is scientifically demonstrated to be the product of only Mind / Consciousness / Intelligence.
Laws of the Universe exist Independent of anyone's personal beliefs in the existence of the Laws of the Universe. Just as man-made laws govern society globally, Universal Laws govern the entire Universe. Undirected random material natural processes have never been observed in nature or experimentally demonstrated to be capable of producing any form of laws. As scientifically confirmed, non-material laws are the product of only Mind / Consciousness / Intelligence.
The “World’s Most Notorious Atheist” and World’s Icon and Champion Advocate for Atheism for over 50 years, Antony Flew, finally concluded, *_“I now believe that the universe was brought into existence by an infinite Intelligence. I believe that this universe’s intricate laws manifest what scientists have called the Mind of God. I believe that life and reproduction originate in a divine Source. Why do I believe this, given that I expounded and defended atheism for more than a half century? The short answer is this: this is the world picture, as I see it, that has emerged from MODERN SCIENCE.”_*

When he said……..
I mean we think God is spirit
That God is very undefinable and infinite and that kind of thing.
I felt that! That’s exactly how I feel like how can they even comprehend what the image of God is! They greatly limit God by labeling! Alan Watts is a genius! Gotta dove deeper in his books!
HollyVander… I have always mentally fought against the religious image of a jealous and violent and vengeful god.
I’ve done a lot of meditating and came to the same conclusions as Alan Watts. Alan just knew how to express this and put into words as I couldn’t.
I read his book " The Book on the Taboo against knowing who you are" 55 years ago which I found to be eye opening/inspiring.
Jesus loves you so much,
He is waiting for you with open arms, so please accept Him in your life and heart while He is near
It's Better for us to Appreciate the Care taker of our Souls and our Existence just like we Appreciate our parents WHO Raise us from an infant to adult

He has really very well explained the philosophy of Ubuntu - I am because you are and you are because I am. Amazing

God is a word, created by man to help understand what it is we are and experiencing. What we experience (to me) is god in all aspects from our survival to our enjoyment our falls and our rises. Throughout many experiences we eventually learn so that we can self realize that we are a reflection of creation or God as to evolve not only our egos but our consciousness. The growth or evolution of “us” reflects to the growth of Creation throughout the all. The creator or creation if we apply as above so below (to me) results in the two that is one, whether that be male/female, positive/negative, north/south etc etc. Your choice of “words”.
Incredible interpretation! ❤
"Just as the heavens are higher than Earth, your ways are not my ways. Your thoughts are not my thoughts"
Our finite minds will never understand the infinite creator....☝️

@gabrielallen7440 I’ve been what you might call dead two times in my life. Believe me: It’s not about names and religious concepts. It’s so unbelievably much better what we really are. We are the Gods we pray to. Enjoy being blessed and living a human existence. It’s all inside us. 🙏🏻
The ultimate frequency of God is zero. " Be still and know that I am God ". Because when you are still, you are in sympathetic stillness with God. Union is attained.

Few years ago i had an overdose on drug but ambulance got there fast when my family found me like that so they brought me back. Maybe its all hallucinations idk. But i saw the other side. Everything is you. Anything you see is yourself. Imagine a kid is playing with toys he gives each and every doll a name a character a story, that kid is you and so are the dolls. God is you and you are god. Me, you and my cat are all the same thing just in different bodies experiencing a different part of life. Its that simple.

God is the mystery. Every thing is planned for us to meet and be with it someday
God is the mystery, and the mystery is all there is. At this very moment, 'we' are therefore 'that' - we are God, pretending to be something other than God. As God itself, what else can we do? What else would we want to do? In other words, there's no plan for the future for us to 'be with it someday'. This - right here, right now - is it. It doesn't get any better than this!
@@mikefoster5277 we are nothing close or similar to God we are just petty copy’s.
@@Sapientia-in-senectute God is ultimately all there is. The all intelligent, all aware and all creating Mind. Our human consciousness must therefore descend directly from this singular, all powerful divine consciousness. Who or what 'we are' then depends entirely upon one's present point of view - one's elevation on the mountain.
@@mikefoster5277 wtf does that have to do with what I said?
@@Sapientia-in-senectute Well... you appeared (to me at least) to be talking about the relationship between God and man. I was _also_ talking about the relationship between God and man. You're possibly not familiar with my explanation, but I think we were still both talking about the same subject!

Alan's entertaining, but he will never beat the fact its all a matter of faith. Even his views.
I think what he's saying, using this limited thing called language we've developed, is that faith in the traditional sense is clinging to something, but if you cling to absolutely nothing then that is true faith.

Exactly, god is nature! Life is all around us. It came from the stars. No need for a "creator"
You still have a creator you are just proposing that it is dumb random chance. That gives you no value or meaning and thus are not a meaningful agent in the indifferent universe you say we live in. A infinite regress of unguided processes is absurdity and moral relativistic insanity regressing us back to the law of the jungle.

@@GlorytoGodedification oh that guy was just a pot smoking hippie. Sorry man.
In the past, all events were associated with God, such as natural disasters, epidemics and other natural events, because science did not have this progress back then or because the state authorities restricted research and science back then. Now thanks to research we understand the world better and don't need a second explanation that it was or is God. What I mean by that is: Whenever we can't explain or understand something because it's too complex, we connect it directly to a creator. And the two most famous questions that man has not been able to answer so far are: what is the meaning of life and who created the universe. Thanks to these two inexplicable questions, the belief in a Creator still remains.
He is such a smart and thoughtful person, although I don’t 100% see it this way, I feel like this might be the most mature conclusion on religion
Created everything is everywhere it's in every part of everything of the universe has no form no needs no explanation no equal..

What created everything? It just happened. I'm fine with that. Its a wild ride. Wish I could live longer to see what happens in 2050. Greed has always existed but its getting more intense,more strangulating,deeper. Greed as well as fake religion and fake prophets will ruin this World.Already is. I feel for my son.
@@woweywowow
The sad thing is, and this is rather ironical..
We are in the shape we're in because human beings feel like they'll live forever. We are handed one life and that's known for sure. People Annalise, worry and rejoice in death, yet we were dead for a billion years before we were born. Didn't seem to bother us that much. But this is the life we have and you should make the most out of it. You can't do that until you realize this is the life you got. When you die everything that was in your life becomes trivial. All the worries all the fortune and all the love is gone. Doesn't mean that it's not anywhere, you just don't have it in this life anymore. We are not sure if we'll ever again.
When I was young my father told me to make sure my memories are good, because that's all I'm taken
La 6 ani, cand bunica mea Rada, mama mamei m a invatat sa ma inchin si sa spun rugaciunea" Tatal nostru" mi l imaginam ca pe un bunic cu barba alba si intelept, stia totul despre mine si gandurile mele...era omniprezent....la 30 de ani , citind, l am perceput ca pe o energie....care a m a creat si a creat intreg Universul....inca nu stiu ce sa cred ca e bine ce si cum sa gandesc sau sa definesc ideea de Dumnezeu....am 66 de ani!!!!

God is a construct of the human mind. No different than unicorns and leprechauns.
In a way, everything we see and experience is a construct of the human mind, in that we can only perceive anything through our own human sense perceptions - the result of which is then processed and interpreted by the limitations of our human mind. In other words, in reality, we never see what actually is - we only see as we ourselves are.
