Your Watts video "The Illusion of Time, Money and Ego" jump started my journey and changed my life forever. I'm so happy you keep returning to the Watts well, the man's already a genius and yet your art takes his words and provides a whole new context that imaginations can really grab on to...and it takes his elevated concepts and makes them so much easier to understand. I am in grateful awe.

Alan Watts, wherever you are, thank you for being.

It puts you into a state where nothing matters in a good way. You truly don't give a shit about anything and you're just happy as fuck as a result, because nothing matters. Nothing matters, nothing means anything, there's nothing to do, there's no point, there's no goal but there's also no boredom, there's no negative meanings attached to the meaninglessness, it's just perfectly meaningless and it's awesome. You're basically just like sitting like a cat on a windowsill enjoying whatever experience is before it, just being and it feels amazing.

When I simply observe, that’s when I truly feel free. We have mental models to explain every single thing and we get caught up with words and symbols. What I used to call enlightenment was only a realization of what I am. Experience the totality of being my friends 🙏🏼
Thank you for the upload 👏🏼

I was depressed then I found Alan Watts, now I am enlightened, in love with life and you as well. Whoever you are, I love you ❤️

There is something about his voice that makes me want to listen. Love the Alan Watts videos 💛

A description is one step removed from reality. A mental barrier between consciousness and experience. ❤️ ✌🏼

I discovered Alan Watts thanks to your channel and it has been such a journey so far... Thank you!

Out of coincidence I was able to break through on a psychedelic experience and visually experience what he talks about here. We are all one, words can not go into how connected the universe is. The cycle of life and death and the kiss of forgetfulness that we get when we are able to let go of our ego, and be reborn again.

I love listening to Alan Watts! Wish he was still alive giving his lectures. I can listen to him all day . He was a very intelligent man who knew what life & the world was all about & puts other professors to shame. 💯❤️

Alan Wats is like the sober and eloquent version of the really high friend who just figured out the key to the universe.

Years ago Alan Watts saved me from myself! Bravo!

[thechancellor-]

To the *incredible person* that's seeing this, I wish you all the best in life❤ don't over blame yourself, accept things and go forward. Don't let others define what “success” is for you. Get up, learn the skills needed and get after it, all the keys to a happy life is in your hands. Keep pushing.

And the most important lesson that I have learned from all this: Smartphone bad! Nature Good!

[bkosimi]

Watts is the best of all philosophers, the master of Zen and synthesizer of Eastern and Western ideas! The more people learn from his speeches the happier and harmonious they’ll be as part of this magical universe, enjoying the musical that life is now!

When I was 19, meditations revealed a great truth. I saw with my own eyes how we are all connected. Then later on I saw How the more we try to quantify existence the more shortsighted we become.

As children we get it. The world is colorful and one thing not parts. Then our societal enforcements systematically indoctrinate us into objectivism instead of subjectivism. Those people, that cloud, that land.

Such sensibilities ain’t spiritually sustainable. It creates walls where there are none. It cheapens life to a heartbreaking degree

[dadrummagstag]

Its amazing that a community of open minded thinkers and artists, whove created a series of videos full of interesting perceptions and facts, can share this stuff with everybody around the globe. It's truly a show for those who love learning something new and practicing mental and spiritual flexibility :) Blessed be
