"Carpe diem quam minimum credula postero."
Seize the day, trusting as little as possible in the future.
Our first foray into the philosophy of Alan Watts. The Present Moment is the one which eludes us the most often. It is the juxtaposition of the fleeting and the lasting.
What we really want is that you take away this message from the video that-
Instead of perceiving your past as having an overbearing shadow on your present , it is much more favorable to observe that your past will be ultimately defined by your present actions in the long run.

Just a random thought... we always think the day we die is going to be "in the future." We forget that the day we die will be today, it just hasn't happened yet.

Alan Watts philosophy should be a regular lesson in all schools

Today is 3rd march, I have an exam two days from now and was feeling anxious about it and googled about the power of being present. I fell sick today, was having a tough day but dis video brings a lot of calm. It’s a nice moment, the sun is shining bright outside and I had a cup of tea in my hand while watching it. Feeling grateful for all that I really have. 5:43 pm.

Alan Watts at his finest.

Astounding: Alan says: The past is the result of the present. Everything proceeds from the present (even the past.) "Alan, you are wonderful, and thanks."

Theres nothing more important then what you do right now in the present moment. Love it. Awesome video!

Just want to mention: This is one of the most profound lectures. In Alan we see a wonderful aptitude (gifted person.) The gift is given to us in this lecture. Alan confessed his wisdom. And we all get to hear.

5/01/2021 Today I find myself back at this video - needing a reminder to be present - did some surfing in the morning, 3 hour session... it was fun, a good time, but later I felt very unproductive. I struggle with productivity sometimes - not feeling like I accomplish enough in each day. It’s strange. Even when I have days where I hit all my to do’s, it just resets the next day - I find myself needing this video at times. Feeling better after listening. Much Love

"It all starts right now!" Indeed! Powerful!

There is only this moment . it is impossible to escape from this moment but through denial we can convince oneself that we have done so .

This is one of the most powerful and most important videos on youtube. I love Alan's wisdom and ever since I discovered his lectures in 2019, my view of life turned completely upside down and the so-called "normal" people seem a bit crazy now. 😂

The act of becoming content in your moment, your surroundings in itself is the only flower. To see the moment as a beautiful dance of life that will never be the same to anybody else and will never happen again.
