I am thankful for Alan Watts on the days that I need reminders that I'm not crazy. I'm happy to be experiencing this life with all of you right now in this moment. Be blessed.

"When one threat is exterminated, you immediately start to worry about the next threat". It turns into a vicious cycle.
Very true...

Everything…E V E R Y T H I N G…is dependent upon your thoughts. Realize that you are not your mind. You exist behind it. Your mind is like an unruly child throwing thoughts around. It’s up to you to start managing your mind. Start observing it. Then take what is positive and leave what is negative. When fear or other worries enter my mind, I say gently to myself “I appreciate the suggestion, but I’ll decide what I think, ” and then dismiss it. It takes a lot of practice every day and in most moments. But it becomes attainable with meditation, which is the training ground for managing and quieting the mind.

I was crippled by fear my whole, my greatest fear was death. At the age of 55 I took pilot lessons and flew a plane by myself, it changed my life forever. I have zero fear of stepping into what ever God asks me to and I am definitely do not fear death. That was January 4 2018. My life is amazing and my best years are in front of me.

The greatest lesson I've learned in life is to not hold onto anything when it leaves. Feelings, thoughts, beliefs, fears, whatever. Feel it while you and let go when it leaves

[PrometheusZandski]

The best way to overcome fear is to realize you don't have two choices, but three. You can choose to succumb to the fear and live in fear your whole life. You can choose to fight the fear, then you live an aggressive life chasing paths that lead to more fears, to fight. The real third choice is to ignore fear, and live a life with infinite possibilities and the paths you choose are yours. By ignoring all the uncomfortable paths through life, you open opportunities you never had before.

Just stop thinking and there is no worries.
Thoughts create reality. Only have thoughts of what you want to create in the positive.

“The world is like a ride at an amusement park, and when you choose to go on it, you think it's real, because that's how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round and it has thrills and chills and it's very brightly colored and it's very loud. And it's fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time, and they begin to question: 'Is this real? Or is this just a ride?' And other people have remembered, and they come back to us and they say 'Hey! Don't worry, don't be afraid - ever - because... this is just a ride.”

- Bill Hicks

You don't need smoke weed all you need is to listen Allan Watts

[rogerlin]

Giving the show away is just as bad as not knowing it's a show.
The universe wants a show, otherwise it's boring.
The Spirit is the ultimate showmanship.

2:55
The secret is not to be afraid of fear.
If you don't resist fear, you master it.
When you resist fear, you set up vicious cycles. Worry is chronic fear.
If you don't make yourself into a preconceived idea of what you ought to be, you are on the track.

Thanks Alan. 3 April 2023.⚽️🌹🎯👻🔥🍍🍁👻🎈

I basically discovered all this while taking a high amount of shrooms. But its so crazy while tripping because I KNEW It like I knew the sky was blue, and I realized the way I lived my life and the way I looked at everything previously was completely wrong. Then I woke up the next day and it was hard to see, but I'm slowly getting back to that point (: Much love!

God keeps the planets in orbit and the stars suspended above us. He's got this and He's got you too. Love to you 💛

Alan if only you knew the impact you have nowadays on millions of people <3

This is another reason why 'I am' an Ex-Christian. I was never afraid of the fear, the religious right imposed on humanity/myself, and it helped me question everything I'm being told. I question the left and the right and everything in between. It's nice to be surrounded by such good people who are capable of thinking for themselves and making a stand with what they do believe, or don't. It really helps me understand the 'I am' in all my humanity.

I watched this 3 days ago. I didn't even need to think about the one question. I pictured a spiral and laughed " How did you decide which way to turn?" I didn't expect an answer. The very next day I was aware in laughter. " what the enemy made for evil, you turn it for good"

[andrewhammel]

I realized these things when I was a kid, but I thought I was crazy. I fell into drug abuse and tried to suppress the thought that it was all an act. That thought scared the hell outta me, cause I was afraid of being alone in the universe, with the others being just "me".

[christystokely]

I love Alan Watts. He was truly a philosophical genius
