Loved the bit about dancing, how we’re not thinking about a destination or why we’re doing it, it’s simply the dance of being alive! Namaste 🙏

[marselluswallace]

We are water. Life is water. It just flows. Isn't trying to go anywhere. It just flows. Following path of least resistance. Playing to the various lakes, rivers and oceans. There's nothing to hold onto. Just flow with it and let it do it's thing. Be like water.

PEOPLE. LISTEN. Life does its thing. We are all just passerbys. It’s all about the journey. Stay focused. YOU ARE THE JOURNEY THE JOURNEY IS YOU ??? yes or no. BECOME ONE you and the journey. Become one being. Presence. Then all secrets become unmasked. And u will walk around with a smile on your face all day long. Even before you twist up a joint and laugh at the world for being so self righteous in its ignorance and stupidity. My best to you all. Peace pipe time. Smile people. It don’t cost nothing extra.

EXCELLENT !!! The scenery is wonderful too. Thank You

[ThroughTheseGlasses]

Alan Watts was amazing. Love listening to his thoughts. He has changed my life.

[glok]

To be awakened is to hear words but understand they are empty, to perform actions but understand they are meaningless, to live but to die each passing moment..

[Dismal-future]

Man this really strikes home. I've been doing the rat race for decades but I love music especially( almost exclusivel) heavy metal. It's like I've always understood the way they want you to live is BS. You have to listen and dance and enjoy(really live). But for some reason they don't want you to.

[melanielang]

I have hindsight. I look at an era of my life and I can define what I gained holistically from that era. With each passing era of experiences I reflect and identify how I grew through the experience and became wiser, stronger, kinder, whatever, but I can see how going through the experiences elevated me and developed me, and deepened an understanding of how I was lacking prior to and how I am more fulfilled and enlightened after. Now I have faith that when times seem hard I become grateful because I know the era is a masterfully sculpted experience that will provide my soul something important lacking within me. It is a beautiful opportunity divinely constructed to allow me to experience becoming Gods masterpiece. I have the will to self destruct but I have the faith and wisdom to acknowledge what a gift each day is and I’m grateful to be blessed with such a gift of experiences and opportunities to live Gods will and share in a beautiful construction.

[asmodeus]

Good talk. Watts was very perceptive in regard to human nature and the human condition and can put his perceptions into words.

Mark Thank you for posting without music!

Alan I started out with Behold the Spirit and have wound up here...Here is what I've learned along the way: Nihilism is essential, from there creating meaning emerges, becoming who you truly are while enacting your role in The Great Drama of Life is, for me, the purpose of living this life. The goal of life is not happiness but eudaemonia. It surprises me that Alan has taken up the mantle leading his listeners to eudaemonia. The root of this word contains a clue as to how a life with meaning and purpose is led on a day to day basis.

[lizbec]

And that's a wrap! No more schooling needed on my part! Now, we dance!

[forthepeoplebythepeople]

IMO, there is a reason and a meaning to our existence. But when we are too ignorant to the purpose, that we create means to end our existence.... what's expected?! I believe we're spiritual beings and this life we experience is a step to something better.... THIS CAN'T BE THE MOUNTAIN TOP. Health and happiness to all

[MiVida]

Life is a dance in the room of the world😊

[Snowrosered]

Good wisdom. I agree. Pretty much have had this attitude for many years.

[kevincarty]

John Muir has a similar perspective. Between every two pine trees is a doorway

[zandrokos]

I love the watts videos with music and sound but we need more of these where it is just him as originally recorded.

[latneyblunk]

Meaning is something you participate in. If you don't participate in something meaningful, you'll have no meaning.

[nickdiaz]

If we have more than one purpose in life.
