An inspirational and profound speech on The Illusion of Money from the late philosopher Alan Watts.
Original Audio sourced from: “Alan Watts - Veil of Thoughts Pt. 1"
Video Produced and Edited by T&H Inspiration

“And uh, forget the money. Because, if you say that getting the money is the most important thing, you will spend your life wasting your time. You will be doing things you don’t like doing in order to go on living, that is, in order to do things you don’t like doing, which is stupid.”
– Alan Watts (1915 – 1973)

Everything that’s really worthwhile in life came to us free; our mind, our soul, our body, our hopes, our dreams, our ambitions, our intelligence, our love of family and children and friends. All these priceless possessions are free, but the things that cost us money are actually very cheap and can be replaced at any time. - earl nightingale

Since my divorce in 2015 I've embraced minimalism. Half I've never felt happier.

Don't be pushed around by the fears in your mind. Be led by the dreams in your heart.💙🙏🏽💫

“The more a thing tends to be permanent the more it tends to be lifeless...”. WOW 😳!! That hit me like a stone while I’m going through a huge transition and my entire world turned upside down.

*“And once the storm is over you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, in fact, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm you won’t be the same person who walked in.”*

Have a great day!

I guess it is why I personally am so nomadic I am 63 and have travelled all my life, clinging to something too long has never appealed to me I am happier this way, always touching something new and learning..

Alan Watts is like Obi-Wan Kenobi. It's great to listen to his timeless wisdom.

When we become a silent seer ( an unattached witness of events going on around us )... while continuing with our duty in the best possible manner ( as per our present level of understanding)... chances of our getting liberated in this material world are much more likely ...
I repeat ... the easiest way to do this is to start watching ourselves in each and every situation and action... leaving aside all biases... our actions then start arising from a state of pure awareness ... which liberates us ...

Thanks and have a good day everybody

What Alan Watts said about money not being real 60 years ago is more true today than it was even then!

I really like this very good lecture and particularly these statements:
“The more things become permanent, the more they become lifeless”.
And “The physical world is like music.”

I've been doing what everybody tells me to do for so long, that when I begun to do what I wanted to do, everybody was shocked. I'm happy now, even if I'm a revel in their eyes...

The most important thing is not money. It’s the people we take for granted that could one day be gone at anytime. Family & Friends. Love and cherish them, love and pray for your enemies.

[myrna]

The value of a person has become the number in their bank account. However, money cannot buy you the most important things in life. And those valuable things don’t cost money. Anyone can have them but only the people who realize there importance are the ones who enjoy them. We are here to experience nature and the spirits of others. We are not here to accumulate objects. If we did we would not fear of dying.

[TheDhammaHub]

The ego illusion is so incredibly strong... we reaffirm it with every moment of existence

[abcdefg]

money 💰 is like a drug an addiction, if not carful it can change, destroy, build, among other things but at the end of the day, you forgot You Die. Your Creator is looking at your deeds, your heart, character. Thank you.

You were able to awake many people to the truths of reality

We put money on such a pedestal - it’s literally destroyed lives. Everything we already neeed comes from within us. Money is the reason why so much greed occurs. We are not separate from money. Once people start to realize we have an abundance of resources already existing on earth then we won’t need to steal or hurt eachother for money
