Alan Watts always makes more sense than any religion I've ever heard. He's always very interesting.

Why am i crying? Neither happy nor sad tears. Just tears. Perhaps the only adjective that describes them, is 'beautiful'. What a privilege it is, to not just see beauty, but feel it.

When our body is sick just by stop thinking our body automatically heals on its own, stop thinking is the greatest healing thank you so much! ❤️🙏

“are you breathing, or is it breathing you” ❤🙏

2:38 to 2,57: ''You (your ego) cannot meditate. You, you ego image, can only chatter (think), because when it stops it isn't there... When you are not thinking you have no ego.'' 5:22 to 6,20: ''One of the easiest ways to enter into the state of meditation is therefore: listening to what is... Listen to the random sounds that are going on in the room - in the street - as if you were listening to music - without trying to identify it's source, name it, or put any label on it at all. Just enjoy whatever sound is going on...''

I live in 'Thoughtless awareness' it is established not continuous, because I am still free to think whenever I want, however thoughtlessness is the status quo for me now. It is profound and I living in it all my waking hours now since January 10, 2023. It is the best thing that ever happened to me. It feels like living in Heaven on Earth. It is beyond thought, because thoughts are too slow versus being thoughtless, where questions are answered instantly because I am ONE with Source/God/ infinite intelligence. I took me 50 years to find and experience it and yet now I know that it can happen in 1 hour for anyone. I found the Holy Grail to living in the moment Now, one with Source. Good luck to you all. Few on Earth have achieved it and even fewer can show someone else how to do it. I am One.

Alan Watts was a fantastic guru. A true bodhisattva. He made deep things accessible and understandable for the "average Joe".

What a synchronicity! Just 5 days ago I found that 14 century meditation guide titled "The Cloud of Unknowing" written by a Christian monk, and had the same idea that people should lie down on the floor in churches and meditate.

We cannot allow the old wisdom to be forgotten

Wonderful message. I can’t stop thinking, I ask myself to stop, but a few minutes later I start thinking again.

The breathing really helped because i was not breathing good but now i am

I love it when videos like this just plays after something that I was watching, because I love his voice, and Alan never says anything untrue, at least not when he was recorded.😁.

Sharing this love with all

I Dig Alan Watts...

It's beautiful, isn't it?

So easy so difficult. Practice nothing else.

Watts clearly spent his entire life thinking, and thinking about thinking.

That was so beautiful, I cried. I love Alan Watts. ❤

This piano was perfect for this

Superb

Embracing silence and present-moment awareness can lead to transformative experiences, fostering a deeper connection with ourselves and the universe. 🧘

So out side my boudaries.....Cowboy, Blue collar........... then dawned on me.. we do this naturally, we just do not call it Mediatation. Being mindful of the smell of grass, horse sweat an not thinking just being. As an athlete, no thoughts just reactions. I wish before I die I could get some Hunters, Cowboys, spirtual people together like Alan Watts etc.. because we do many of same thing but do not have the same names for them. Love him.... Do not think, just be. Hear, smell........ mmmmmmmmmmmm

I love this man so much

Thank You. Much Love.

Thank you Alan Watts 😊❤🙏💝

Mushin - No Mind is the highest state...!🔮

Many, many thanks!

Amazing 👏

I am always thinking negative thought, in spite of trying not to. I can only assume my spirit has a negative aspect to it. Also my mind races with thought churning around. I get old songs and tunes from 50+ years ago popping out into my conscience mind and cycling around, over and over again.

beautiful..

Isn't his poetry just marvelous!?

I'm so ashamed I feel so much shame I'm the oldest and my youngest sibling is getting married... AGAIN! (for the second time!!) meanwhile, I've never been married, I have no children, in fact, I've never actually ever been, in a real relationship... (just an awful horrific series of abusive "situationships") I die of the grief and shame just die

This will be a good'n to fall asleep to 👍

wonderful speech, wonderful editing. 💞💫👏👏

I feel so driven with this!

Interest helpful video by Alan Watts, however still a far away point from living in thoughtless awareness naturally all day long established not continuous because you are always still free to think, however thinking is too slow and inefficient when you achieve living in thoughtless awareness connected with infinite intelligence with instant answers, instant insight. No mantras, music, or special breathing is required. Few on Earth have achieved it. I have achieved it after a 50 year quest and it was through Divine Intervention on January 10, 2023 and it is the best thing that ever happened to me. I live in it all day long and it feels heavenly to me. Good luck finding it. It only takes one hour when you know how. Good luck to you. Maybe you will find it in your lifetime. The odds are 10 million to 1. Good luck.

This was surprisingly soothing and relaxing!

Obrigada ❤❤❤

Now only, is what is important ✨

Whoever does these edits is awesome

I wish i knew someone like Mr Watts😢

I need to try this.

Most people try to be silent,point is not what you do or dont do. Point is in what you have sense of "self" . If that is changed,than there is silence,otherwise you can have eternal and still miss the point.

emotions

❤❤❤

Thank! I ưill to try it.

What he really means is don't be self conscious. It's funny how the title can ironically be counter productive when viewed in a way.

Mind is everything, what you think you become -Gautam Buddha

just energy

Good video

Ya right, not possible no matter how hard I try But I won't give up 😊

I dig music.

Maybe its like when your half asleep and the sounds become quite relaxing in the background ...or just flowing in a non intrusive way ..🥳

Go Surf🏄🏄‍♀️

I do "Thought Recording sessions" to get the thoughts on to Paper, then they become echoes of a silence that speaks along with me. *Save the Thinking for the Thinking, and Keep the Faith in Aceptance"- Author of this post; ME. Whoever that is.

🙏

The first step to the Yaqui way to knowledge is stopping the internal dialog.

More! We want more! Love Alan Watts. ❤️ Where can i hear the rest of this? Thank you

Thoughts feeling emotions this elementary

Think. Just control your thoughts.

"Just be" Domo😊

but nothing can take away this blues

PLS Can you recommend some nice mantra chanting to listen 🙏?

Forgive me if you can. I have ruined myself beyond what I could fix, and there is no hope except to die as I was born. I have nothing to give. And I want to sleep forever and dream about what life could have been like if I were a better human. And be true to myself. Trust God. And. Wait. That’s what I’m doing

moods

I excellent at not thinking. My wife tells me all the time.

What mantra is the best

Heya, any chance we could get the music from this video? Tried shazam but ain't working :(

🖖😉

Music credits???

✨🙏🌊💙🌎💙🌊🙏✨

The sky sounds like andrew Ryan. from bioshock 1. Giving us a life lesson 😂

I like Alan Watts but I'm not sure that thinking is a bad thing.Its a perculary human gift and sometimes prevents people from doing the wrong thing..for example thinking about the consequences of an action before doing it. The mind can obviously think too much and go round in circles and needs rest and recuperation but the act of thinking has produced so many great things particularly in the west.

how to get rid of unwanted emotions

the force 4th

Kinda hard when we live in such an ego driven world....

Can you dig it?

I thought about possibly watching this video... And thats as far as i got😅

Try explaining silent mind to a know it all

If I can “not think” enough, will I become a politician?

consciousness is evolutionary tool to grow without this we r just observes and animals

so give me your feedback how it is

How did the ego get created in the first place....i am sure i was one with the universe before...so why did i get caught in the ego....where did my soul originate...and get caught in time....

The 'problem' here is that abstraction, schizophrenia, and poisonous snakes ARE also 'reality'.

What confuses me is that all words and languages never existed or did they exist and where did they come from , are we the first humans or is there millions more earth like planets out there.

Vanakam! Do you have some idea about Tamil language which is oldest in India. older than sanskrit. tell me, why pm Modi uses verses from Thirukkural here and there? Moreover, he says " yaathum oore Yaavarum Kelir' in his UN speech. Why? But he is not allocating sufficient fund for promotion of Tamil language across the world? Any idea about Sithars from Tamil? thanks a lot.

He's talking about hindu vedantic philosophy 😀 and some Buddhism

you say its good or bad, liked or dislked, cruel or social

Love the audio content of the channel but why oh why do you have to use the cringiest "bro just transcend" animations all throughout the videos.

But don't think is a trap. If you tell your mind not to think, it will think about why it shouldn't think and then ask how it can stop. Go ahead, try it. When you really get to the core paradox of life, you are totally on your own, no Alan Watts to comfort you.

There is no such thing as free will and choice for the indivual, no one can stop thoughts from arising just like clouds can not be stoped by the sky :)

Just pretend the name you gave everything is wrong

This is my GIFT to you and anyone reading this.. These suggestions have made me the person I am today. So take one or two or all of them and transform yourself to a super being. Thank me later. I personally did and do everything listed below and I got massive results. 1. Write out a statement of your Short Term Goal AND your Chief Aim/Main Goal... on a "goal card" or paper. 2. Write it out 50 times a day for 30 days preferably around the same time each day. After the 30 days, you go back and write it out ONCE a day. This is your compass in life. 3. Set your phone alarm to go off every 3 hours (to disrupt your daily routine) and when it goes off write down your statement and then close your eyes and see yourself with your goal for 2 mins. 4. Record your statement in your voice on a voice recorder on your phone, and play it back to yourself on loop while you sleep and as often as you can daily, example... in the shower or when you are using the rest room. 5. Find an accountability partner. If you cannot find someone, then you MUST write out your statement DAILY. By doing this you make yourself accountable to YOURSELF. 6. Find a community or FB group/group chat, etc and from that community form a Mastermind with one or two people who have studied from REAL Mentors and are giving VALUE. There is a "Law of Giving" and many people are using it. Andrew Carnegie told Napoleon Hill this back in the early 1900s. Its a LAW and it works. Its what I am doing with this post. 7. Auto-Suggest (Think and Grow Rich Chapter 4) to yourself in front of the mirror in the bathroom at least twice a day. Look directly INTO your eyes OR one eye and recite your WRITTEN statement. Then splash cold water on your face. This sudden shock seals the thought into the subconscious due to emotional and physical shock from the cold water. 8. Write out ten "I AM" statements a day. example. I AM happy, I AM more confident. Use the word MORE; implying you already have it, but want more. You trick the brain. 9. Write out 5 things you HAVE that you are grateful for and 5 things that you are grateful for that are coming to you. Mix up the list one after the other. 10. When in public tell people you see that you love them in your mind. Simply say "I LOVE YOU" to them as you pass them, especially when driving, because their subconscious hears and FEELS the intention. Say it to about 10 to 15 people daily. This increases your Good Karma. It might seem like a lot. But it took me less than two weeks to incorporate the list into my life and 32 days later I started getting massive results. What have you got to lose, try some or ALL and see your results. Let me know know too. Have a great day... and thanks for reading.

This bloke loves the sound of his own voice
