I don't mean any disrespect to anyone but the comments under these videos complaining about the background music are the bane of my existence
Edit: just finished the video and it is another masterpiece. The incredible words of Alan Watts accompanied by the perfectly selected images and music

It's so funny how he mentions that once you realize you're "that" you become full of delight and energy. I was in a really dark mental space a little while back and I thought it would be a good idea to get high when I had anxiety; I began to shiver and shake and I felt so awful trying to stay awake, it's like I was experiencing an overload, so I went to bed and listened to music. Ironically enough out of the thousands of songs that could've come on when i hit "shuffle", one of the first ones to come on was simply an anthem about letting your light shine. I felt so cold, my hands and body riddled with anxiety and mind with racing thoughts, but once I was able to be still and listen, I quickly warmed back up like magic, like the gas on my internal lamp was cranked up and I could finally feel at peace. I truly feel like my energy was fading and it took me getting back in tune with the world around me to bring me back, to make my light shine again

The Universe is infinite, no beginning, no end, no Big Bang, no centre, no time, unknowable, we are an essential part of IT.

It is all about Flow. Within the body, within the planets, within everything. Let go, and flow, you paddle YOUR canoe in this flow

I have such a deep appreciation for Mr. Watts and all of these great teachers who have articulated the impossible, to be able to communicate such things in a language intelligible to the modern mind, with a compassionate heart behind it. Timeless wisdom. Thank you to the video creators for putting together this lovely video. I wish everybody reading this only the best in your journeys.

Alan is my most favoured speaker on the nature of existence. I find others who dismiss him as not being sufficiently patient to see through the veil of phenomena and emotions. The idea of Zen, is as Thomas Berry was wont to state: "Nothing is itself without everything else." Alan very simply explains in his own way, that our humanity is entangled and intertwined with our essential underlying nature of being; that they are as inseparable as a crest is from a trough, to create a wave.

8:10
Energy is eternal delight.
You are that.
The perfect man employs his mind as a reflective mirror.
This is to live without hang ups, to drift like clouds and flow like water.

See all life as magnificent play of energy.
There is nothing to fear.

Thanks Alan. 3 July 2024. 💗🍇🌈🐠🦒🤲💐🐠🐠🪷🤲☘️🐠🌹🍁🌊

6:55 forward is the most relatable thought pattern I remember having as a child. As a 6yo I had existential crisis daily because this was a recurring thought in my mind and had a deep sense of feeling alone having no explanation and seen as crazy from my Christian raising. My grandmas screech forever engrained into my mind, “Whaaat?! You’re too young to have those thoughts, you shouldn’t think that way at all.”
