In this inspirational speech, Alan Watts addresses one of the most disruptive concepts that the ever-shattering human mind fails to grasp in very simple terms. For those who are familiar with the works of Alan Watts, this is “nothing new under the sun”, yet they would sit there, like myself, totally spellbound and listen to him speak as if they would listen to him for the first time. Such is the special magic of Alan Watts. For those who listen to him for the first time, congratulation! You have come across one of the greatest teachers of the highest truth. Your journey might start here, so make sure you check out the next Alan Watts videos. Watch and enjoy!

  • People live in their head.. always reliving the past.. or anticipating the future.. neither of which are real.. only the moment is real.. and how our heart feels in this very moment is what will create the potential future.. if you feel love and gratitude in this moment despite your circumstances your future will be full of things to love and feel gratitude for. You can choose this or dwell on negatives.. at which point you will draw the negative into your future. Choose wisely.

    Alan Watts had the most beautiful voice.

    We shut up. We stop interior talks. There is the real world as is. There is another world of symbols in our head. Meditation is like music and dance: no ulterior motive, no future. Only enjoyment in eternal now. Thanks Alan. 2 April 2023.🌹🌴🤪😎🍁🍍🌛🔥
  • Next time I get asked that casual question "whatcha been doin'?" I'm going to say I've been grooving with the eternal now.
  • @zandrokos
    I love how I always blunder into these videos when I need it the most.
  • @baalqefel1570
    Forget trauma and be natural towards one a other.. one person at a time
  • Yes, absolutely! So many people just want to talk about the past - what they did yesterday, or last week. Or while walking in the countryside they talk at length about a book they've read. This is the opposite of coming alive to the here and now. To be alive to the here and now is moment-to-moment exhilarating, even in an empty room. And living in the here and now, one is never lonely.

    I was crying today in the morning, rating myself, my skills and how I think I wasn't good enough and this video just made me realize how it's all just in my head and not the 'reality' Definitely needed to hear this, thank you for sharing!
  • Life* perhaps we aren’t meant to comprehend and know it all!?! Let go of control! Embrace the good and do “your best!
  • @luckyphilism
    Reality is a scary thing but once you work it out you can see beauty in little things that most people miss
  • Most of the time we believe the "real world" is really about independency, employement & how to take good care of our bodies. But there is more to life than just how Allen Watts is explaining. Like Meditation is to improve the mind itself & there is no such thing as tomorrow. Thank you Allen Watts for giving us a big understanding.

  • @pauladavis1220
    I agree totally. Being silent and still within. HalleluYah!!!
  • If we taught this kind of meditational approach to life in schools, I wonder how more peaceful this world would be ?
  • @SRtruth
    Thank you universe and God for this guidance and wisdom, support and encouragement ❤ thank you to this channel and thank you to all the viewers who are here in this "reality" :)
