It's one thing to be told this. It's another thing to figure it out and experience it for yourself.

[OGCOPELAND]

You can’t help but to cry tears of joy, when you finally GET it.

I'm coming to the conclusion that Alan Watts may be a healer for mankind's mental suffering, the reassuring grandparent to a world of secretly scared adults

"Your skin doesn't separate you from the world, it's a bridge through which the external world flows into you and you flow into it."

Love the way his brain works. Thank you TJOP for this beautiful rendition!

Reminds me of Bill Hicks quote, " All matter is merely energy condensed to a slow, vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves"

I remember being 5 years old on a trip to the planetarium and feeling this incredible connection, synergy, comfort, knowing, beauty of looking at the stars. It has stayed with me my entire life and now realize it was a very pure soul (by way of being so young and not yet conditioned) recognizing a part of itself. Beautiful

I'll never grow tired of watching this. His words are healing to me. Well done.

The.light is a possession of you.. you are light!!! Thank you alan watts for your great video on our existence... its beautiful

[Aaron_Gentry]

I, and every other living thing on this planet, are sentient stardust. When ancient stars exploded eons upon eons ago, in effect, that is when all living things on this world were born. And thinking about it like that, you are not twenty, thirty, forty or seventy years old, you are already billions and billions of years old. You are not in the universe, you ARE the universe.
And if that doesn't empower you and make you feel a little bit bigger, then I don't know what would :)

Thank Goodness for Mr. Watts, and who ever made the effort to keep all these lectures in the History Banks..

You are as much the universe as the stars are in the sky, just like each cells in my body is as much me as the head on my shoulders. - #MP   

[Bezol]

You yourself are the eternal energy that appears as this universe. You didn't come into this world; you came out of it. Like a wave from the ocean - Alan Watts. This quote from him is pure gold.

[saltaenutrof]

Brilliant. Shouldn't this be taught at schools?

[anders]

There is only one Truth about reality but sadly it cannot be explained or described through words. You can only experience it. Until you let go of the ego ( who you think you are ) you won't be aware of the Truth which is right in front of your eyes. You are not a person experiencing the Universe. You are the Universe experiencing a person. Reality is absolutely infinite. You are nothingness. You are the emptiness that contains everything possible and nothing at the same time. Paradoxically, Reality itself is a paradox. There is no limit to reality because limits themselves are within reality. Every possibility and impossibility already exists right now in the present moment. There is no escaping reality because reality is all there is and will ever be.

Mr Watts, the catalyst of enlightenment.

[damo]

You are..The fabric an structure of the universe it's self. I love this guy so much

[fulldead]

gives me chills every time I see the picture of intergalactic space moving backwards.. so many galaxies. so much possibility of life. so expansive.. so beautiful.

I remember when I first saw this, that we all flow from the same source of consciousness. I tried explaining it to people, but I got the sense that people didn't want to be reminded of that. As if they were saying, "Don't explain to me the rules of the game, just shut up and play!"

Who are the 82 trolls that downvoted this magnificent piece by Alan Watts?

[connorreed]

I cried tears of joy from this video. The first time I first hand experienced this feeling. I thought I was crazy or going insane. When I would describe it to other people, no one would understand me and they would think I was crazy. I now realize that I am the correct one and everyone who doubted me just will not know what I mean unless they experience it
