6 months of being quarantined at home taught me more about life than 25 years of education

As I get older I appreciate my parents more and more... These are the kind of conversations I had with them as a kid. I remember asking my dad: "What kind of job I will have when I grow up?" My dad replied: "Your only job in life is to get to know true self and be happy. And question everything. Especially ideas that claim to be the absolute truth."

Kudos to you for creating such an informative and engaging video. I was recently shocked when I found a forbidden book on Borlest called Whispers of Manifestation . trust me, guys, I have never seen anything like it in my life. From secret dark strategies to some unbelievable ideas. Trust me on this, find the book.

As someone who has always spent a ton of time in their own head, this was oddly comforting. I have often found that I am most peaceful...the most MYSELF when I am sitting in the woods listening to the birds, or out on a walk admiring the sky, or in my room creating an art piece or listening to music. There's a comfort in the now, just as it is. Regardless of what is going on in the world, the various versions of 'now' for each individual; our now is where we have the greatest influence. The 'then' or 'when' is where we slip into chaos and become unhappy with the burden of things that either haven't happened yet, or have already happened, so there's no possible way to go back for a cosmic "do-over".

A few years of drug addiction leading to being homeless changed my perspective on life. Prior to being homeless I was a workaholic. Too much work and stress helped me become a drug addict. One day I was sitting by a canal and it occurred to me that everyone is racing to work and for what reason???? Money? I have been sober for 3 years now and own my own business. I work when I feel its necessary and play a whole lot! Alan is the man!

Let's all just appreciate that there is no annoying background music

We suffer more in our imagination than reality.

I can't even imagine how hard it must have been to draw this whole video. It is beautiful. Thank you for your hard work

First found Alan Watts when I was about 16 I’m currently 24 pushing 25 and man I can never get tired of his voice and his thoughts. Always seem to cheer me up in one way or another

Mark Twain said on his deathbed that all of the things he feared happening the most in his life...never actually happened. I try my best to hold on to that one.

I see a lot of comments who seem to misunderstand living in the moment.

Living in the moment doesn’t mean “never buying groceries or letting experience inform your decisions”

it means eliminating the needless worry about the future and not allowing yourself to use the past as an excuse for being unhappy forever.
