When Alan Watts Asked about Satan and God! | Alan Watts

"As God, what responsibility do I feel to ameliorate evil in the world? I begin with the point that I am responsible for the way the world is. If I couldn’t feel that I’d have to blame somebody else. I’m not willing to do that because I know that under various changing circumstances, it might be appropriate for me to be as big a rascal as rascals have been. Now as to improving the world, the world is always improving. It may look to some people slow, but it’s improving even when it is declining, because the world works in an undulatory process, like a wave: it goes up and it goes down, it goes up and it goes down. And it couldn’t go up all the time because if it did, we wouldn’t know that that was up. So it goes down some of the time so that we can know when it goes up because if we didn’t know when it went up it would be like being in a space where everything was light. There’d be nothing to write home about." - Alan Watts

Its incredible that he was able to answer those questions with such detail on the spot

It went from them trying to diagnose the "patient" to then listening in awe. Loved it.

[FRATEagle]

This has helped me on so many nights when sleep won't come and my mind won't stop.

[ringmaster]

Such a sharp witted Man. Much respect and admiration for Who He was and what He tried to teach

[justinupchurch]

Thanks for living with us for a while mr Alan

Becoming like God is about loving serving and helping your fellow man. It's about sacrificing your self not glorifying yourself.

[courtneyawalsh]

Interesting. Words like “savior” & “enemy” never made much sense to me. I don’t feel we are mini gods…I feel we are all extensions of our Creator. Faith-based people have a strong spiritual connection. Non-believers put their faith in science, technology, money, men & machines. The sentence: “There is nothing that is not God”…gives me truth chills. I feel like evil is basically a deep-seated amnesia about this undeniable (to me) truth.

🙏💜🙏Thanks Alan, it's a blessing that we can like Alan said, listen to these talks at the touch of a button !! ❤💞❤ What a man ! 💖❤

This was amazing. Thank you very much indeed.
Started to read a book this morning and it mentioned that "God is absolute existence, knowledge and bliss. The universe is not real. God and man's inner Self are one... No object, no kind of knowledge, can be absolutely real if its existence is only temporary... every object of knowledge, external or internal is subject to modification and therefore "not real"... What is the Reality behind all our experiences? There is only one thing that never leaves us--the deep consciousness... this is the absolute Self. In dreamless sleep, also, the real Self is present as a witness, while the ego-sense which we call "ourself", our individuality, has become temporarily merged in ignorance and disappeared."

That, plus this beautiful video, I feel are connected somehow as if one led to the other. Anyway, hopefully somebody else can enjoy it or absorb something from it.

From the longer piece "On being God" great lecture, you can even hear one woman's awakening "oh wow" brilliant...

[JJmoony]

Now we have all heard what Alan had to say, now we must all get on with it! If we don’t then we never listened.

[maruthikaranth]

There exists nothing but God. One Universal energy is appearing as you, me and all . This is the Absolute truth. This appearing and disappearing is its own play for it's own sake. So be not serious but be sincere and honest. Be happy that you don't die. You are the Cosmos pretending as so and so. My salutations to Maharishi Allan Watts the greatest master of this century. 🙏🙏🙏🕉
