I want to be nothing, no sense, no being, no object, no consciousness, just need eternal peace

[obas]

Nothingness. The feeling you have when you sleep and when you wake up, Before you have any dream and thought.

[elysiumcore]

Losing faith in humanity on a daily basis, this gives me hope

[jsphbronson]

I listen to this almost every day, and every day it strikes a cord deep within me. It is so beautiful.

[harrycharalambous]

You have to feel what he's saying. You can't realise it intellectually

[rogerlin]

Nothingness is the fundamental reality of who I AM. It's pure, infinite and can never be contaminated. Out of nothingness arises the entire visible universe.
Thanks Alan. 🏆🍾🌲🌸🐧🥁🎀👍

Haha in the end we'll just laugh it out and know that we did all this for nothing but we won't care cause it's all so beautiful. Allan watts oh how much I love you

[MrScoobydoo]

I experinced this yesterday on 5Meo-Dmt, it was terrifying for my ego (me) but I saw that ultimately we are infinate nothingness ...out of which comes everything, liberating !

[eljesa]

I had to listen to this twice because I’m so stoned watching this it’s like literally two universes against each other but in the end it’s all nothingness

[jordyvandeven]

If someone would ask me: "If you could spend a day with 1 person, no matter who, who would you choose?" I would say Alan Watts

[jeaninecaterisano]

Alan Watts lives, evey time we listen to him he lives. He's so important to my life. I love him so much it goes beyond love it forever!

[creativthinker]

I couldn't imagine the horror of being consciously aware in this one relatively small Human mind throughout all of eternity. There is great power in nothing because everything came from it. Just imagine the instant conscious thought ends there it is again in another form all through the power of nothing.

[LifeTheExperience]

In the beginning, there was Nothing.
And God said, "Let there be light."
And there was light.
But there was still Nothing.

[kampagang]

Nothingness, Emptiness, Oneness, Allness and Wholeness are the same. Buddhists call them "Sunyatā".

[Catscosmos]

I've been on a journey finding what is the ultimate reality and how its logic works, I read books, meditated, tried hallucinating drugs, watched videos and I was inside of my mind for too long thinking what the fuck is reality? why am I here? and what it's like to die? and after that, I realized I was in a total emptiness I lose interest on everything I don't even have emotion I feel like I'm ready to die after learning the reality perhaps the ultimate reality is emptiness. After I stop learning reality I feel like I'm born again the emptiness I feel was filled little by little I gain interest on things I became happy again and I'm back from the journey and all I found is nothing/void/emptiness but that nothingness gives me a power to decide what to put in it and that's what I've learned from the journey I've been to.

Ive listened to this like 10 times and broke out crying, smiling, and giggling about 3 or 4 times. So beautiful and great and amazing it all is if you can see what this is pointing at. Its literally what you are. Namaste 👍🏻😁👍🏻

"We come spinning out of nothingness, scattering stars like dust"

[sebastiancastellanos]

Thank you Alan Watts.I feel healed from depression with this way of thinking.Nearly died from depression, from my fake ego, from way of thinking of matters and living.Nothingness make me feel released from worry of living.Nothing matters at all...

"To grasp what it means to exist, one needs to grasp the fact that he might not exist, that he treads at every moment on the sharp edge of possible annihilation and can never escape the fact that death will arrive at some unknown moment in the future." - Rollo May
