The path to enlightenment is not a destination, but a lifelong commitment to self-improvement.

Its incredibly relieving and beautiful to listen to this man speak. He's genuinely changed my life.

This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my YouTube channel 6 months ago about self development. Now I have 501 subs and > 100 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.

I’m so glad my feed rolled over onto one of these videos. I’ve never heard of Alan watts before this past month or so.
He is one of the very few I’ve ever listened too, that made any sense to me at all.
Every thing he says just feels like truth. Thank you for sharing. These insights feel like he is speaking poems strait out of my heart, that were always there, but I was never able to find the words to express them.

[rlittlejohn]

He so wonderfully and poeticaly abke to put things into words better than most for themselves .

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

[draegongrime]

He might convince me to become a buddhist I just don’t have the time as of now to put slot of effort into it. Work and school take over my life but listing to his voice has helped me understand that life is a game and you really need to play it the right way. I have many goals and ever since I have listed to this man speak for the first time I’ve done nothing but push myself to complete them. Some have taken longer than others but the past few years of my life have been extremely rewarding due to all of my accomplishments. I can say I enjoy living unlike how I felt when I was younger and felt as if life was never going to work for me.

His voice is so relaxing. So glqd that my feed Rolled over onto one of thèse Video

[needheartranken]

Allan Watts, I get it, let go but the bills, but let go, but let go, haha. This game is fun, though. Full of heartbreaks and all of the highs! We are just really nothingness that got bored and want to play. :D

It's you, the mountain, the grain of sand, the atom, the galaxy, the planet, the tree, the blade of grass, etc all at once, us.
The Whole, poking Its head in to see Itself all at once - being in Itself, of Itself and through Itself - by Its own nature.
Such is the dream of life, the nature of which is that of the Mind (electromagnetic) - vibrations upon the ether in the same place at the same time, from the perspective of the Whole...
What else can the Whole of all being do but look inward?
There's nothing outside Itself... but more of Itself.
Such are you and I.
I am you as you are she is we are all together - the Beatles circa 1960
From the bigger picture, there can be no right or wrong, but only contrast to the picture - dance - music... game, in which there are no winners or losers, but only the game, which is ever changing.
To understand the nature of the game is to relax and enjoy.
Make your own music. Play your own game.
In the dream of life, there's only one and it's you.
To be yourself and choose to be happy is to allow yourself to become as you will.
Just realize that the electric (light) and magnetic (darkness) are two sides of the same coin (Mind).
To destroy "the Devil" is to destroy "God".
One cannot be without the other.
You are the Source of your world - your universe - as you're creating it... the lead character in your own story, as you learn and grow and become according to your own unique experience, which is the whole point of the dream of life.
We're at once, the Self contemplating Itself, and the Self propagating Itself, in, of and through Itself.
All exists by its own nature.
