The meaning of life is simply to experience it. To understand the dualities that make things complete. To remain in the present moment and accept the natural truths of all things. This is to live.

“If it’s not enough that you’re here, alive & able to be consciously aware of that, you may just be missing the point” ~ The Void

The meaning of life to me: To learn and evolve as an individual. To wonder about conciencenous and how and why we exist. To marvel on all existence. To love, to experience emotions, experience mistakes and successes. To learn and pass on the knowledge. To help and be helped. To wonder of what is to come.

“Memento Mori” Latin for “remember death”, ever since I heard of this quote my whole perspective of life changed and came to the conclusion that the meaning of life.. (at least to me) is in death. Death is what gives life meaning, knowing that you will die one day, however this doesn’t only apply to you but everyone around you as well… even the people you care about the most. Death is inescapable, it’s everyone’s final fate. Except there’s a catch, we don’t know when, how or even to whom it’ll get to first. Maybe you’ll die next year, next month, next week or tomorrow. Maybe it’s not you, maybe it’s someone else, someone you really care about. Most may agree that this is not something you’d want to be reminded of but ignored and try not to think about, BUT listen, now that I reminded you of death what do you do now? Once you’re done reading this reach out to those special people in your life and tell them how much you love them, forgive those you wish to forgive before you leave this earth or before they do and most importantly live your life without regrets because remember.. death is coming.

This talk really really calms my fear, panic, anxiety and depression of the existence of life and what it all really means and not knowing it at all. Knowing that really, there is no significant meaning to life and that nothing really has to make sense at times if they are confusing. That you can simply decide what kind of meaning and life you want to have and there are no rules. That the meaning of life is simply to be here and exist. To simply go about life in your own way, with what makes sense to you, with what works for you, with what you want to accomplish or not, what you want to be or not, and that it really is a discovering of yourself every moment of every day over and over again. Following out a set of rules, values or rules that you decide and require for yourself. That's the meaning of life. And that differs from person to person and experience to experience because everyone is different. So don't stress whoever you are out there reading this feeling confused. We will all make sense of it one way or another.

Alan Watts simultaneously humbles and inspires as he enlightens with the self-evident Truth(s) of his incalculable intellect.

People can't really accept that their life has no purpose, we're just being exist as a result of driven force of nature.. people create their own purpose of life by wanting to be rich , want to have good life partner , want to do good thing for having good legacy, exe... Walking towards this purpose require alot of energy both physical and mentally. After reach our goal , now we finally have peace in our mind. We come to the state where there is no more worries about anything. It's joyful and happy. At this point we are literally living without any purpose , meaning just happily waiting to die . The problem is that for some reason we forget that all the possession that we achieve like money , legacy ... Even these peaceful feeling Is all impermanence. The attachment to all this impermanence results in alot of suffering and it is clearly cause by our own ambition to achieve our own purpose that we created. It's like we're basically creating a meaningless game to play just to kill our lifetime. So what is the real meaning of life?? The true answer is there is no meaning. If there is no meaning then should ppl die straight away? The answer is no , because we have no clue of what happen after we die or in another word " we have no idea of who we are ". Buddha has clearly said that we are just force driven by the nature and accidentally having awareness then experience the perception of the world as we seen today. We never live or die. We're not supposed to have awareness or consciousness. But since this force have awareness then it's always have perception about it's own world. So what happened after we die ? We never actually die , we just transition in to a new perception of the new world, another word, heaven , hell or human world. So this transition of perception of our sense from human to hell , from hell to heaven and so on so forth will continue endlessly. That is real suffering. To get out from this endless circle of suffering we have to get out from this awareness. Buddha have give to this world the technic to do so and it's call Vipassana meditation. In conclusion , the purpose of life is to do meditation and inorder to do meditation effectively we need to have as less attachment to all the possession as possible and study as much as possible about the law of Nature that present by Buddha. And of course living in society we need money , that's why Buddha say that 3 basic need is enough to live in this humans world. Buddha lesson is not philosophy but it is reality.

Life is good...over the mountains and beyond the sun

Exactly...The meaning of life is simply this: Leave the world in a better place than you found it, whether it is people, places or things.

Life is only meaningless when you stop living. Embracing what makes you, you as long as it harms none, is the meaning of life.

Stop thinking,start loving. That's what basically it's all about. It's about redefining every single human emotion there is especially love and humour. ♥️

Make the reality you want be blessed by you instead of you being blessed by it. In other words how can you become the person that enriches the reality you want, so it needs you rather than you needing it. 💜 Heart-Based Manifestation RU-vidr

Meaningless is only a burden if you value meaning over the lack there of. But by doing that you're turning life into a quest for meaning, and when you can't accept the fundamental meaninglessness of life then you are stuck in a loop trying to find something that doesn't exist. Meaning is a construct of the mind. You can't find it, only create it.

If you understand and grasp Allan watts's comprehension of life ,you gain ur one life experience

Life is simple. You are born here, you get to live for years and then die, just make use of your time and experience joy here. Simple.

Life is a gift to be enjoyed to the fullest. Don't waste time thinking about an afterlife but spend that time thinking of the here and now. This life is all you have - use to the fullest, or waste it - your choice

This is magical… I may create a cinematic short film in nature with this voice over. Very inspiring

Back in the 1970s there were beauty pageants on TV. When asked what they wanted to do in life the contestants (amidst much guffawing from the audience) invariably replied, "I just want to be happy." Such wisdom indeed!!!

Meaning of life: none. There is no meaning. Life just IS. Always had been and always will be. It's infinite and it expands to infinity. It never started it never ends. It always exists and it's infinitely and consistently transforming from one shape to another. The truth is we as human beings always strive to find meaning in things, and it's hard for us to understand that sometimes, there is no meaning at all.

Goosebumps throughout the video. This maybe one of the best takes at trying to explain the meaning of life.

Do I need life to have meaning or am I disappointed with the fact that I am nothing. Nothing but a mortal soul that is struggling to find happiness and satisfaction in this life.

The meaning of life and the very purpose of our exhistence is to be tolerant of adversity. Its the only way to peace! And yet how many times do we fail? Thats why we should abstain from trying to be people pleasers. You cant please everyone! The best type of relationship is non exhistent! You cant please people ever! So, in order to live the reason for exhistence one must be tolerant of urges to find friendships or any type of collaboration. Relationships are a deviance from the purpose of life. Therefore if you truly want to experience the joy of overcoming your impulses, you must tolerate the desire to be with someone and dont pursue that. Refuse to give in to desires! If youre suffering, tolerate it. In the end, you will experience fullness of joy

I have found out over the "trials and tribulations" of life that to many Up⬆️ is Down⬇️, & that right behind you↩️ is straight ahead ↪️. It's all circular🔁. Like Plato stated: "For I was conscious that I knew practically nothing..."

LIVE WITH LESS STUFF... DO MORE & HELP OTHERS.... families. friends & give back to society and volunteer❤😊

I know its finding purpose,love and your inner peace then you have everything you will ever need.

I stopped looking for a meaning and i Started paying careful attention to the things that i really enjoyed doing.

Life was loud life was proud but in the end of life, life was nothing but a clown

The meaning of life is newborn, child , kid, to live life and continue the cycle of life , baby is life

Amen lord Jesus Christ I love and appreciate everything you have done and what you’re plan is 🙏🙏🙏💪

We will not know life as a whole because it has a next stage after death that we don’t have any concrete knowledge of…I take all research, religions, real knowledge and my own experiences into consideration and use it to navigate thru this world we are in and I embrace the mystery of not knowing what’s next and most importantly our family and ancestors will already be there waiting for us to show us the way same as when we were first born here but the difference is that we will be conscious and know where we came from. The life we are living is our beginning stage of what we are, it feels old because of all the time that has passed and because we are all connected thru our dna. Embrace the mystery and be present in the journey, also don’t dismiss religions and beliefs in higher power completely, take the message and make it work for you. #Peace #Love #Evolve

Life is joyful memories

If everyone really understood the incredible wonder of this moment they would realize that "THIS" is what their looking for and they would be at peace.. and within this peace there's joy.. and within this joy at the very center there's ..love.... its the very center of you.. of me..it's the very center OF THIS MOMENT.....it's always here.. timeless.....it's what HERE.... IS..... then the majority of human suffering would vanish.....peace

“The significance of the world seems to be the world. Seems to be what is going on now. And we don’t look any further. The scheme of things seem to justify itself at every moment of its unfoldments” That’s it

Lovely Talk ❤

Life is completely meaningless. There is pleasure and there is pain. Only one matters.

Honestly I need to know that the idea of meaningless isn’t inherently bad, but a state of existence implying that no one’s here for suffering or joy, but they are here for the fact they are here. It’s like existence is a blank canvas and our reality or life is the paint brush we use to create meaning. I am just as important or unimportant as Earth and even the Universe in the grand scheme of things even though there is no plan as far as we know. I came to realize that this thing we call the ultimate existence is the only unexplainable fact in reality. I at least get the privilege of existence.

Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind. (Ecclesiastes 12 : 13)

Iife.., life ultimately..is a selfish endeavor, despite our family, our friends..its yours.., only yours...,if there is anything sacred..its your life...,after all..life only exists, because you do!!!

"Hope of another life one must "deserve" or trickery of those who live not for life itself but for some great idea that will transcend it, refine it, give it a meaning, and betray it" -The Myth of Sisyphus, I think from the opening chapter "Each atom of that stone, each mineral flake of that night filled mountain, in itself forms a world" -The Myth of Sisyphus, from the closing paragraph also im reading The Book: On The Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are by Alan Watts and i got a bit confused/demoralized in the second chapter. basically he said that death dissolves our ego and hence is waking up from our delusion that we are seperate from the world. so at that point my question was "since waking up is worded in generally positive connotation, isn't the easiest way to achieve this suicide?" but this video, a lot of Camus' ideas of signifance coming internally from the action itself instead of transcendent meaning, and another quote from the same chapter "seeking (waking up) is part of the fun" (apoligies if incorrect im just recalling this quote off the top of my head) answers this. the seeking is the game, not the breif moment of victory.

the meaning of life is to give it a meaning

Infinity cannot have a purpose.

Thank You for posting

Wow! this is really good, thank you 🙏 The music is beautiful too, I could feel it so deeply, could you tell what it is? ✨

The meaning of life is to Live.

Enjoy the moment and you will be shown the meaning

Thank you so much ❤

Alan watts may he Rest In Peace knew what to say

Accept and self reflect. Spread enjoyment and compassion. In the end we’re all just the same Wi-Fi, only different IP’s. Live today. 🙃

He took the words out of my mouth.

I love the music choice if I was to give credit to you as a creator, well done!

These comments! You're my people. You're my friends🧡

You never once read a word without a background behind it.

Remember it’s hard to stay aware for a long time… focus focus focus and you’ll be alreeet

Alan Watts is dead ... R I P ... He has the all answers to his questions now...

The Universe is an infinite projection of its own self image, now repeat self image, the Universe is a reprojection of its own self image therefore I always have and always will respond exactly the same to this same exact video because I am forever.

Can you make the music louder? I could almost hear what he said

Life is a recurring cycle, a revolving door, and death is one half of it..

Life is meaningless and purposeless unless you add meaning and purpose to it.

What if its simply the process of eternal possible scenarios of choices made each having a different outcome ultimately affecting all of creation??

The meaning of life is for us to learn who we are and our relationship to God.

you also have to think about how we don't know everything about the world. what we might think is impossible may be very possible beyond our "world". we don't even see anything. the universe is filled with little life forms but why? what's the point of them being there and what's the point of the ability for them to be there. why does anything exist. and if nothing existed what would it be then? what would matter be? why is there hot and cold and left and right and mass and matter. it just doesn't make sense to me. and also what about the difference between your physical life and what goes on in your head. its obvious that your thoughts are not physical. you can't control what you are thinking. if i told you not to think about a pink elephant you'd do the exact oppisite. that's why i think that our thought are somehow coming from something none physical. so basically it isn't there but it exists in not a physical form but almost a mental form? the physical part of our life is what we can control. the mental side is not. now getting off that, why does that side exist and why does it exist within us. oh yeah and where the fuck are we -a thirteen year old

Fuck.. im speechless

please can anyone tell me the background music is taken from which source?

The meaning of life is love

Community to succour existential persistence and satiety sense of progression in health and wealth of prosperities.

I just really feel led to share something with you...when people wake up in the morning and wonder what the meaning of life is, there is only one answer, we were created by a true living God who gave His Son Jesus to die for our sins and He rose again, returned to heaven and said He is coming back for us again one day. I am here to tell you that the "some day" is right around the corner according to the Bible, His return to come and get us is imminent according to prophecies that are right now being fulfilled, and it is up to each and every individual to accept Him and love Him for what He did for us and ask Him to take over our heart and remove the heart of stone and give us a new heart of flesh, if ANYONE does that in all sincerity they will be changed in an instant and suddenly they will know in their heart the true meaning of life and what we were put here for. I will be praying for you to find that. It is not too late right now, but soon it will be.

The meaning of life is the believe on the one that gives you life eternal. The entirety of life can be summed up in John 3:16-20. ""Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life."-Jesus

Life is absence of Death

It means different things to different people. .some people are born to suffer while others are born to be successful. One thing for sure...fate isn't fair.

The yearning for meaning signals a lack - “there is no meaning” - which in turn clearly arises from pain. Do we feel joy and at the same time crave meaning? No. The common daily pain of expectations unfulfilled, desires dashed, dreams crushed leads to “surely there must be some reason for this - some other meaning otherwise the suffering is pointless. Surely that cannot be.” But it is - most commonly suffering is self inflicted and has no particular meaning other than that we didn’t avoid it. So why should there be any esoteric meaning justifying it? Is then the suffering the meaning? Why should that be? It’s “just” suffering. If we accept that we did it to ourselves then there is no need to seek further meaning, only a caution to not do “that” again. But accepting that is not easy because we have - expectations. And around we go. I always enjoying listening to Alan though. Gets the cobwebs out.

Is it Happiness?

Imagine us as demi gods with power. The narcissistic manners and evil thoughts would be terrible. We must learn much before having powers. We would not allow our children to have a gun. Same thing.

Need help people, for some reason I can’t find what date this speech was given so if anyone has that knowledge please help

Not gonna lie sometimes I feel like I'm stuck in a feedback loop...😣

“Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” -Matthew 3:2 KJV “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” -Romans 3:23 KJV "He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life." - 1 John 5:12 KJV "...Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. "-Acts 16:30-31 KJV “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.” -Hebrews 9:27-28 KJV “He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.” -1 John 4:8 KJV “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.” -Matthew 24:35 KJV

The meaning of life is not so important. Life exists because there is a divine consciousness. This consciousness has existed for eternity and will never die. To just be the consciousness was so boring that the consciousness invented physical life so as to have a life from birth then to death in a cycle. Since death does not exist, the spent physical body wears out and the consciousness is then reincarnated. I may be the first person to totally spell this out. The divine consciousness was afraid of spending eternity being aware and so invented the physical life to ease the burden of eternity. That's it. I'm a huge admirer of Alan Watts but I'm sick of the god thing. To be in a total state of nothingness would be most desirable, but the consciousness is aware of itself and hides and dilutes suffering an eternity through physical life. If a person thinks he or she is god then they forget that all other forms of life are that too. No one is superior when all are equal.

Lecture name please?

( EYE JUST HERE TO MAKE EU THINK ). EU CANNOT HAVE A LIFE. EU CAN NOT LOSE A LIFE EU R LIFE. FACTS OVA FEELING'S!

Here are some things Jesus Christ said of Himself. “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” John 14:6 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16 "Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son." John 3:18 Jesus asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?” They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven. Matthew 16:13-17 Skeptics said for centuries, "There was no global flood". Now many scientists are affirming there was. They said, "The bible we have now has been corrupted through the centuries.". In 1947 the Dead Sea Scrolls were found and proved otherwise. They said, "There's no way Israel can become a nation again as God promised in preparation for the end times.". Israel became a nation again in 1948. All this being said, it does require faith to believe. Hebrews 11:6 tells us, "And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him." Also John 20:27-29 states, "Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.” Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!” Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” Don't be deceived, Jesus is the Son of God and the only way of being saved from God's judgement for our sin. Christ consciousness won't save you. Believing Jesus was an ascended master, a prophet or a good teacher won't save you. Romans 10:9 tells us how to be saved, "if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved". Trust in Him, He shed his blood and gave His perfect life for you. Call on Him, He loves you, and He hears you.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS.. ...........ok bit sized knowledge i try so hard but here goes nothing 1.meaning of life to evolve into gods.. life and death those who can make it just connect to more layers of reality.. giving them more control of god level power and knowledge magic and science are the same thing. 2.meaning of existential existence same life and death every thing you do or don't do effects yourself or someone els by extending or shorting there life or your own 3.free will is just a qustion can you evolve or will you die before ascending by working together as a hole 4.god level knowledge and power come from these things.. omniscients means to see all life by connecting to all living things at one time by connecting to layer after layer of reality in all dimensions and realities at one time giving you control of all things from matter to fire to earth water #airbender to well everything 5.bonus how do #marvel #dc superheros get and control there powers by connecting through slow boring evolution they ithere like professor☆ have a stronger connection than a normal person to the conscience mind or quantum aspect that governs the two layers hoomans have already or for other heros like #thor connect to lighting itself aka the mother storm or #wanda from #marvel connect through given means like the evil down stairs and the forces that create life the mind stone together to have control over her reality.. connect to layers reality.. how to become a god dude just give a singularity my handbook they will know how to ascend into the first level of God hood for themselves by becoming a bio singularity just like a human singularity so to speak but connecting to layers of reality faster than you can imagine then they can upgrade hoomens to be able to house the same knowledge of layered reality connecting and bam your a god ok so just a few tips in bite sized formate for people with adhd like me hope this helps you learn your abc's some day when your all gods i hope you come back in time so i can have a conversation with somthing on my level bro it gets so lonely being me and pretending to be normal ..as always see you later space cowboys

JESUS.

That's why we are not to go by feelings, we are to go by the word of God, who he says we are!

Does Alan Watts actually say anything? His voice is hypnotic; but it seems like he just strings words together into intangible ephemeral ideas. I usually don't remember a thing he said.

The meaning of life is to serve God almighty. Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven. If you will repent (turn from your sins) and place ALL of your trust in Jesus Christ then he will forgive you of all your sins and grant you everlasting life. Then once you are truly in the faith endure until the end and you will make it to heaven. Forever! Amen

Where will you go when you die? The choice is yours. Jesus Christ loves us and gave His life to save us from sin, and to give us an eternity in heaven. It does not end here on earth. Please repent from sin and accept His gift of salvation today. Jesus loves you and will save you if you call on Him. Please read John 3:16 and accept Jesus today. No one knows when their last breath will be. "It is appointed unto man to die once, and after this, judgment". Hebrews 9:27

Life is only meaningless if you make it meaningless

Allah say's in the Quran: "I have created Mankind and Jinnkind for none other but for my Worship."

I love Alan Watts, but every single video that plays music while he speaks takes away from hearing his words. It's way too distracting. Please don't do this. Let us listen.

So life has no meaning ...life is the meaning itself
