I’m 9 yrs old and I love Alan Watts

@rickywiddicks

I allways listen to Alan when I feel lost, which is often.

@jeffreyhamilton8950

I’ve been listening to and learning from Alan Watts for years on YouTube and the most amazing thing is to see people discovering him and commenting on his videos every day. No matter when I click on a video of his there is always a new comment from a newly awakened person. He lives on as a teacher infinitely.

@kosimpson2010

Thank you a 1000 times for not putting music in the background!

@vanessanassif

Alan is like an old, familiar and trusted friend.

Nothing as dangerous as a righteous saint. Brilliant

@evanvandaniker

That last line, “you can’t give it away because everybody’s got it, you have to make them see that they have it … that’s the most difficult task” calls to me from time to time and I come back to this video to hear it again. It’s so beautiful. Thank God for Alan Watts ❤ and thank God for every one of you, whomever may be reading this

Losing your mind 

Losing your mind is terribly underrated. 

All our lives we are taught to be analytical, rational, goal-oriented and in control. 

That’s why most of us are forever living in our minds rather than in the real world. 

In other words, we’ve got our heads buried in our screens or lost in thoughts rather than being present to what is here now. 

And when you take a break from being in your head and look around you, your mind immediately tells you all the things that are wrong or lacking from this moment. 

It’s a bit cold. 

I wish it was sunny. 

I’m bored. 

I wish I had money/love/happiness. 

I wish I was as tall/handsome/strong/popular as that guy. 

Before you know it, we’re right back in our minds figuring out how to fix this moment. 

In other words, we almost never live in this moment because we are always trying to get to the next, better moment. 

But by the time we get to that moment, we will be too busy to really notice because we will be so preoccupied with getting to the next, even better one. 

In this way, the mind separates us from life, from the magic of why we came here in the first place. 

The mind is afraid of life, that’s why it’s always trying to protect us from it. 

So if you have the opportunity to lose your mind, I suggest you seize it with both hands. 

Don’t worry about what the others will think - they’re really too busy thinking about themselves and the next moment to really notice anyway.

Listening to this on a mushroom experience was the key to unlocking my chains. It's been over a year now and every day is just wonderful.

@Gene-XL

In my ever present attempt to overcome a crippling depression, I am coming to really enjoy the voice and the lessons of this man!

Alan Watts is the rascal. In explaining the game he has played it perfectly. The magician whose trick is showing you the trick. He has outwitted us completely. I see you and your compassion Alan.

@rolandlegacy998

I know he passed long ago.. unfortunately. Still saving lives though. He’s a permanent voice playing on my daily drive to a job and a life I want to shed.

@knutjobgoblin

His voice and his laughter is appealing lighthearted and kind.

@BigRedeemer

Alan Watts changed my life.

@guerajj77

You know that fb post asking who you'd want to sit and talk to if you you could choose anyone? It would most definitely be Alan Watts for me. 💙
