“All music is purposeless. Is music getting somewhere? If the aim of a symphony were to get to the final bar, the best conductor would be the one who got there fastest. When you dance do you aim to arrive at a particular place on the floor? The aim of dancing is to dance, is the present. It’s exactly the same with our life.” - Alan Watts

Alan Watts has kept me sane while going through Multiple Sclerosis, becoming legally blind, and losing my job. He teaches me that the happiness of life is all about perspective. I have had a great life and can only be thankful that I do not have it worse than I do. The teachings of Alan Watts have helped me have the balanced perspective that I do today. Life is a journey worth taking and creating as you go.

Hi, everyone I have a secret for you reveal. The reason why the United States of America and the Vatican keep delayed time by playing the voting game between President Biden with President Trump even though they know their children is going to die for no reason because if the Tibet and India know Pope Francisco does not want to see Holy Dalai Lama but he sent a Vietnamese came to Tibet say Vatican and NATO will liberate the Tibet and India. In contrary; every time NATO visit any country, Pope Francisco will visit that country. They do know the Vatican had done with Tibet 's citizens, thus they don't even say sorry. Secondly; I hope the India' citizens please pay attention. Don't you think this is disrespectful. Lastly; Pope Francisco told the whole world that he had a plan to make the world will be peace but I say from now to 10 years our economic will collapse and we will face the flood of the ocean that will drown alot of country such as Japan, Korea, Philippines and Taiwan etc later. Because Russia will fight with NATO in Europe at the west, and at the east, both of them fight at Alaska. When the iceberg break and melt, the sea level will be up. IF India doesn't allow NATO settle in their country. Unless Pope Francisco says sorry to them so this disaster will not happen. Otherwise; India might stop support the petroleum bought from Russia to provide to Europe and USA that means the gas prices will be more expensive. May be we will pay $10 per gallon in the future. Please tell me your comments Sincerely Thanks

I love listening to Alan as a past time, as entertainment, as reassurance! But knowledge, explanations, reasons etc is secondary to realising what is beyond. And what is beyond is a Disposition of Unborn Happiness, Unborn Reality. When alive as That Disposition every individual will live differently, rhe difference from being self-possessed and Gods possessed! However IT cannot be gooten by self-effort. It can only be ‘had’ by surrendering and trusting in Grace to do Its Work! 😊. Blessings. Thank you.

Bernardo Kastrup, the emerging popular and increasingly influential idealist scientist/philosopher of the day, seems to be carrying the torch that Alan Watts (and others) lit back then in a way that is truly challenging the materialist/physicalist framework at it's core, and opening the doors to think and act in better ways for us to function and survive in our changing world, in my opinion.
