Improving Yourself RARE LECTURE - Alan Watts

Improving Yourself RARE LECTURE - Alan Watts
DON'T MISS

[phil]

If this lecture doesn't show you that the best thing we can do is not to seek ourselves ("who am I") or that our objective is to "improve" ourselves (as the end goal) and to just live our lives the best we can without overthinking it then I don't know what is. Just enjoy yourself without going out to harm others but when you do unintentionally 'harm' others in some small way, as everyone does, you shouldn't feel too guilty about it.

Greatest philosopher to have ever lived. Even Bruce lee listen to him, Alan and Lee sadly passed away in 1973.

The masochist said to the sadist, "Beat me!" The sadist replied, "No!"

The earth has a heartbeat at the frequency of 7.83 htz our alpha waves resonate along with it. Fear has the frequency of 5 hz the rose has the highest frequency of 320hz the closest tangible thing to love at the frequency 528hz. Old English word for love is lief, so just be-lief.

His words definitely create room for thoughts to heroes and refine. I'd never thought that once you elevate something you invite ridicule which would then affect your liking. So, by liking too much, you dislike. Who doesn't do that.

Fabulous job, Alan!

This is why I prefer watching lens reviews on YouTube.
Less tricky. I'm very likely to find a better lens. And I can take pretty pictures with them...

Truly enjoyed this talk, what a wonderful mind.

How can I Surrender myself?

How can I not desire?

Complex problems we are faced

Afraid of death

Afraid of pain

Inward light

Identify with your higher self

Build up a sense of seperation

Stop the judgement

Who is the self behind this self?

Ego falsely identifies with the higher self


How to get that higher self working?


All the do good is in the will

Call me righteous what ever, if you have been around me that long and call me righteous well we really need to talk. I think there for I am, and I think about a whole lot more than just making the world a better place I would say 90% of what I think about does not happen 90% of what I do off the computer I win. When you talk about fixing the world I ask questions about problems I have noticed, did I mention I fix stuff and I'm good at it so asking question about broken things comes natural to me, sorting things out comes natural to me, doing hard things comes natural to me, I might not be good at it but I like it. I live the best most decent life I humanly can with no judgment on the way others live their life, having an understanding everyone has to make a living and we all are not built the same as we all have our own strengths and abilities as I am incapable of being trusted due to being incompitant:) I'm being righteous now are I.

Alan watts always takes forever to tell you that he isn't telling you anything.

[doreekaplan]

Seems he did not take his own advice. Saw him at his house in Tiberon where he talked to us students from Berkeley.

There is no self versus improving yourself, ... PARADOXICALLY.

I was listening to this when i was tripping on some very powerful THC. I started seeing some things while trying to focus on what he was saying. But i couldnt focus because the visuals i was getting were pretty strong.

It was a mindtrip. Very abstract. Hard to define, or describe. Everytime i focused on Alan Watts, the words were being torn open, kinda like a scroll and I was getting even deeper insight as to what he was saying.

I saw something that was conscious. It was sorta amused by me. Amused at itself. Laughing at me in an endearing way.

It represented itself like the Kings on a deck of cards circulating on a machine where each teeth was represented by 1s and 0s. At the point where the teeth on a machine meet, that was the present moment. The "now."

It started chanting very playfully, it almost sounded like a clown, or a cartoon, speaking to me through these Kings. And it said, "I am the alpha and omega. The beginning and end. The first and the last. I am the Now."

And the machine moved even faster, almost flickering these bright colors and i began to see different moments throughout time as if it were explaining everything to me.

I kept hearing the phrase, "the utterly magnificent brilliance of now." As if it were showing off to me in some sort of way.

There was so much more to it that im probably leaving out. But i feel that it kinda connects with some of the things Alan Watts is saying here.

This present moment is all there ever is and all there ever will be. Our memories are just illusions. Maybe what we see, or who we are today, is also an illusion. But its this present direct experience that we have that is the most spiritual experience of all.

I dont know. I probably sound clumsy in my explanation. But maybe thats the point. It's very abstract and paradoxical. If the first and the last are one in the same, maybe the enlightened are just as well as the unenlightened. There is no real concept of time. No real concept of space. All of those things are just the limits of this canvass we experience in our realm of existence.

The enlightened are just as righteous as the unenlightened and that's what makes this whole thing go round.
