Alan Watts: INNER VOICE Lecture (Rare) | ORIGINAL FORM 

I can listen to this man saying absolutely anything for the rest of time

the no sad/cinematic music makes it so much better, just his voice and knowledge

I feel like Alan at this point is like my virtual grandpa

He was ahead of his time. He was something very special. He saved me.

Thank you for posting this without music on top

I am zen = I am one = I am whole = singular = zen = one = completely tuned with nature’s rhythms.

Love how there’s no annoying motivational/mysterious music going on in the background. Cheers for uploading this ❤

That bell’s ring touched my soul

Alan Watts is a doubly pleasure to listen or/and read: a philosopher par excellence and an irresistible orator.

I love this man. I could listen to him all day. Instead of forcing you to hear his views he forces you to think.

I love his voice... so peaceful and mesmerizing. i could fall asleep to it. He was definitely born to be a speaker... so wise.

I only ever feel like I'm in touch with the real world when I'm running. And I'm miles away from anyone, amongst nature, I'm knackered and I just stop. Birdsong, weather, my body trying to catch a breath, the air and the stillness.....thats the real world for me. A rarity

If you're watching this and you haven't ever given meditation an honest try, you really should. I downloaded a guided meditation app 5 years ago and managed to stick with it. Now I don't need any guidance, and I enjoy it so much! It's often the highlight of my day. (Note: Get an app or a teacher and do it for at least a few days: meditation is a skill, and you can't expect yourself to be competent in a new skill the very first time you try it.)

He could read a recipe and I'd feel relaxed and emboldened with knowledge

Wow this is me. My insecurities ruin shit. I self sabotage relationships because of past relationships. It’s a vicious cycle. I need to break it.

my god that is a gorgeous sunset, the reflection as it dances on the waves is mesmerizing

Oh I love this thumbnail, it's so retro. Not to mention, another gem of a lecture from Alan 💖🌈

What a wisdom he shared with us. What i search for is what he find out. So i know where i must look at. Be grateful was never meant such a deep meaning until now.

He’s like the Beatles - each generation discovers him and he lives on

I'm so glad to have discovered this beautiful human being.

Me to I go to sleep listening to him or Brian Scott The reality Revolution

If one could only listen to one Alan Watts lecture, this would be it! The concise points are invaluable, especially about stopping thinking to meditate. Thank you for posting this, and especially not adding any music.

This is awesome! Thanks for not adding any stupid music. 🙏

Another absolutely fun passing interlude with lovely Alan Watts = scholar / intellectual / historian / realist / teacher / bodhisattva = The sheer playfulness of Alan's _'essential isness'_ may well be described, on the verbal plain, as what surely is ever-delightfully enjoyed as perhaps a truly 'embraceable' _Man For All Seasons..._ !! 🤣 Thank you Scott Ocean for this pivotal little ditty that *_"doesn't mean anything but itself"._* 💋

This is such profound wisdom. Thinking of ourselves as concepts and words, that's the ego. Such a light bulb moment.

Thank you for not adding music !!

I fall Asleep listening to this wonderful human. 🦉

I just adore him for his wisdoms, I am listening to him every day , especially when he says about the religion ........

Very intelligent and very deep. ❤💫 The western culture is now starting to grasp this.

Another gem 💎

*Your videos give people priceless lessons. Thank you for sharing! Keep up the great work! Hope to see more from you! 💪*

Imagine having this guy as an uncle.

I listen to Allen Watts everyday, that is how I start my day

It's comforting to hear someone talk about the things I've thought about. Not saying I'm as wise or intelligent. Just that we've all asked ourselves these questions and thought of these thoughts. We probably didn't share them because we think nobody would understand.

Finally a video without dumb music

Thank you so much for NOT adding background musical nonsense to his lectures!!!

Inside out but virtual. Each emotion has a voice

No time like the present 💝

Love listening to this man. Thank you AW…

As I age and feel my cognition decline, I sometimes wonder if the blankness is the ultimate quiet and that maybe some of the ones who sit and stare all day are doing better than we imagine.

Love this talk I do.

Beautiful☮️

Absolutely brilliant ❤ so happy I stumbled on this

Thank you

the sunset is so beautiful, I would love to hear Alan Watts admire this view!

Always Alan💫✨💛

Presence is all there is and is the only reality for all of us. You can break free from illusion once you can recognize the chains of indoctrination. Until then, suffering is indefinite.

Great video!, Thanks for sharing.

This is absolutely gold. Wow. Thank you for posting.

Phenomenal. My favorite AW clip yet. Thank you!

Thank you🙏💜

We Love you Allen

I enjoy reading comments,I don't personally know another person that listens to philosophy, or any one who cares to study.

Thank You!

The wisdom I have been needing. Thank you all for being kind enough to share with us. Hope you have had a great day! And I hope many more to come! 😊

Thanks Great talk Love you all

i love how he takes out all the mystical nonsense and puts everything into simple and practical terms with absolute clarity. no frills and cheap thrills.

ALan is absolutely wonderful

"Manjusri asked, World-honored one, what is the state of the unconditioned? Buddha said, The absence of thought is the state of the unconditioned." ❤

He lives, he creates life to be better!

Alan Watts died at the age of 58 and I was surprised to learn that he was a heavy smoker and had drank heavily in later years.

Needed this ❤

I like to listen to him because he makes me feel better. Thanks Allan watts

This is the best speaking/knowledge sharing Man that possibly EVER Lived!! 💯🔥💯🔥

I appreciate this.

Mr. Watts is a very brilliant thinker. He gave humanity so, so many valuable guideposts for this journey. Thank you for sharing this!

I just wish I could have sit with the audience on this lecture. Especially when the gong.... I think it would have changed my life...

The voice ❤

Hope everyone has a blessed year 😊 (John 3:16)

🕊️🥰😁 love this brings warmth

Just listen to the silence . If the chatter starts in your skull just ask this....I wonder what my next thought is to be ? The self talk will stop . It works ! Try it and you'll see .

He was way ahead of his time .. he speaks total truth I wish he was still alive! ❤

I listen to Alan Watts for introspection and Jim Rohn for motivation. 💗

Grateful

Rip Allen Watts thank you for those precious reminder gifts all the way from heaven ❤

The real world is the reflection you receive from your own heart and essence

the inner voice says love each other

A very knowledgeable man.my concept of meditation is not by not thinking.its 1 by deep breathing excersises and 2 repeating a positive thought to yourself for a amount of time to improve your concentration.

Love that ocean background

Money makes a good person better and a bad person into worst conditions.

This guys awesome

Meditation is thought-fasting.

The meditation discussed is but one of the many methods available. If you're interested in accurate, scholarly presentations on meditations and their respective intentions, look up Alan Wallace, the west's preeminent meditation teacher and retreat guide 🙏🙏🙏

Brilliant

King Of King’s made of concepts ♥️You Can’t Conceive reality ♥️

Thank you, thank you, thank you for no music

At the age of 36 I finally had a moment(hour or 2) of complete and utter silence in my mind. It was the most extraordinary feeling i have ever felt, i just sat there and thought of absolutely nothing and this after a very special girl kissed me.

We all look to know and search for some what of understanding what we think we might know but never finding a definitive answer to something we will never understand but will always shearch for it in the hope we find awareness

Peace can only be found by oneself .

Hari Alan, Hari Alan, Alan Alan, Hari Hari....

I can find peace in my thinking. Conflict arises in fragmented, materialistic or incorrect thinking.

*I love you, Alan...you were cool, not like those so called religious people with certain sort of attire...Alan Watts, Osho and J. Krishnamurthy I love them.*

Allan watts was an amazing individual , a gift from the celestial origions.an incredible balanced mind and well versed in philosophy and existence.amazing being.

Ah, my dear interlocutor, you have stumbled upon the cosmic dance floor of existence, where the humorous melodies of life twirl and tango with the absurdity of it all. So, let us embark on a whimsical journey into the realms of existential hilarity. Imagine, if you will, a cosmic jester with a twinkle in his eye, merrily skipping through the ethereal dimensions. He whispers secrets to the stars, chuckling at the seriousness with which we humans ponder our purpose. With a mischievous grin, he asks, "What is the meaning of life?" and promptly bursts into laughter. You see, my friend, life is the ultimate cosmic prank, a never-ending game of hide-and-seek. We chase after meaning like a dog chases its tail, only to discover that it was within us all along, wagging with laughter. We strive for success, fame, and fortune, thinking they hold the key to happiness, only to realize that happiness dances in the simplest moments-a good cup of tea, a belly laugh, or the sheer absurdity of existence itself. But do not fret, for in this cosmic circus, we are all clowns in the grandest of shows. We put on masks and costumes, playing our parts with gusto, unaware that the audience is also part of the spectacle. We chase after goals and achievements, desperately clinging to the illusion of control, while the universe chuckles, knowing that the punchline is in the impermanence of it all. So, my dear seeker of wisdom, if you find yourself pondering the meaning of life, take a step back and join the cosmic laughter. Embrace the delightful uncertainty, dance with the absurdity, and remember that the joke is on all of us. Life is not a riddle to be solved but a cosmic comedy to be enjoyed, so let us have a good laugh and savor every moment, for the punchline is always in the here and now.

So intelligent, just way ahead of he's time. Could listen to this man to the end of time... He talks so much sence

Very interesting )

Imagine knowing Alan Watts!
