Alan Watts was an incredible philosopher and speaker who had a unique way of exploring Eastern philosophy and spirituality. His captivating lectures and books have inspired countless people around the world.
Alan Watts was born in England in 1915 and developed a deep interest in Eastern philosophy from a young age. He studied Buddhism, Taoism, and Hinduism, and became a renowned interpreter of these philosophies for Western audiences. His ability to bridge the gap between Eastern and Western thought made him a popular figure in the counterculture movement of the 1960s.
One of the central themes in Watts' teachings was the concept of "the self." He explored the idea that our sense of self is an illusion, and that we are all interconnected with the universe. He encouraged people to embrace the present moment and find joy in the simple act of being alive.
Watts had a way of delivering profound insights with a sense of humor and playfulness. He believed that life should be approached with a sense of wonder and curiosity, and that we should not take ourselves too seriously. His lectures often included anecdotes, stories, and metaphors that helped illustrate his points in an engaging and relatable way.
In addition to his lectures, Watts wrote numerous books on topics such as Zen Buddhism, Taoism, and the nature of consciousness. Some of his most well-known works include "The Wisdom of Insecurity," "The Book: On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are," and "The Way of Zen."
Alan Watts passed away in 1973, but his teachings continue to resonate with people today. His ability to distill complex philosophical concepts into accessible and relatable ideas has made him a beloved figure in the world of spirituality and philosophy.

I can not stomach the world as it is, and yet I am knee-deep in it. It's happening whether I would approve of it or not. Is this the grand design? To contrast suffering with no suffering? Light and dark sound nifty thrown out as an abstract idea, but on a relative level, as biological creatures, the suffering we endure is immense. It can not be denied, even if you have it all. Looks, personality, intelligence, drive. You will lose everything, no matter who you are or how much spinach you eat. You will suffer. Some more than others. But there it is. And there is no escaping it.

What if all you REALLY have to lose is the materialistic ego. Cause before you were here you had nothing and everything at the same time. What we all need, we already have and what we all want, we already had. Its cliche to say, but live right now. The future and past is nothing but electric signals in your brain. It is as much the now as the now that is happening while youre reading this comment. Just like the suffering you might experience is in the now, its nothing more than layers of a cake that you forgot to digest when you ate it. Dont let the now be the past of the future now. Or in other words. Digest what you must, so that future you have no worries but what happens the ego...

Yes. This world is disgusting. It was created as a prison (Durga) for the reformation of our egotism through suffering from the physical body and mind. But very few understand that and even we understand that, we can’t reform ourselves because it’s extremely hard to fight the attachment to our desires and needs no matter how illusory (temporary) they are.

@Mokshafromdurga Yes, I am finding this to be true for myself as well. I see my situation, all my attachments and habitual responses and all I want is to find compassion for my predicament. I pray that my understanding of just how stuck I am increases my love for all beings here. I suffer tremendously, and I know others do too. May we find freedom in the midst of our troubles. May we find stability in the craziness of our lives. Much love to you friend.

Like a spiral in a circle a wheel within a wheel never ending or beginning on an Ever spinning reel! The big bang? What did it Bang into more like the big happening for everything came into existence all at once and it's been expanding ever since then? Like sound comes out of Silence existence comes out of non-existence, endlessly cycling back and forth without beginning or end because the beginning of anything is the end of a previously existed and the end of anything is the beginning of something new and creation and destruction again two sides of the same coin because whenever you destroy something you create something new and whenever you create something you destroy what previously existed! Extreme poles of the same process! Non-duality!

I know my comments are dumb, but its actually the right attitude, this is the comments section game, the game being; who can come up with the best comment, and according to alan watts you guys hella lost, because your taking it too seriously, trying to sound all smart and scholary. The right approach is to be zen in every aspect of life and to never lose the feeling of fun, hes not trying to say something philosophical, hes explaining something very simple and pure that is beyond philosophy and religion.

The most zen thing you can do is to make light of serious things, and the dumbest thing you can do is to turn things that are fun into something serious. Thats why jokers and comedians are the guardians of truth, because when you say something true with a detached irony, like you mean it but not really, thats usually pretty funny. But if you say something true with frankness and complete seriousness then your just preaching. Alan watts has the ability to say truths without sounding preachy, its almost like hes saying jokes

LIFE means "L IF E" combined with "LI IF E" because our Ego is two halves of time as an L is the old testament behind and the F leftover is the same "I" now at the new testament as faith. E= L F and one E is five pillars set ready to wed again at six as Love. The L is sin behind us as good and evil F mixed together as L. Then we awoke at the new testament and the F is good and evil now separate paths so that we can witness and stalk our thoughts to see that the evil side made the good side evil so now the F is good with good as a new L where HE escapes HE-LL at six, not three as the E is just a C when Love is S-EE. Hey Einstein..E= L F and there the C is squared..see ya soon.
