Mark Twain said, "I'm not afraid of death. I was dead for billions of years before I was born, and it didn't inconvenience me in the slightest."

Just found Alan Watts and suddnely I am 17yrs old again and one with everything. No religions to distract me, no illusions to trap me and no judgements to weigh me down.

Funny how for fleeting moments I'll really get it, and I find there's nothing to do but laugh.

Peace to you all. For those struggling as I often have, may you keep seeking light in greats like Watts and Camus ❤

In a mother’s womb were two babies. One asked the other: “Do you believe in life after delivery?”The other replied, “Why, of course. There has to be something after delivery. Maybe we are here to prepare ourselves for what we will be later.” “Nonsense,” said the first. “There is no life after delivery. What kind of life would that be?” The second said, “I don’t know, but there will be more light than here. Maybe we will walk with our legs and eat from our mouths. Maybe we will have other senses that we can’t understand now.” The first replied, “That is absurd. Walking is impossible. And eating with our mouths? Ridiculous! The umbilical cord supplies nutrition and everything we need. But the umbilical cord is so short. Life after delivery is to be logically excluded.” The second insisted, “Well I think there is something and maybe it’s different than it is here. Maybe we won’t need this physical cord anymore.” The first replied, “Nonsense. And moreover, if there is life, then why has no one ever come back from there? Delivery is the end of life, and in the after-delivery, there is nothing but darkness and silence and oblivion. It takes us nowhere.” “Well, I don’t know,” said the second, “but certainly we will meet Mother and she will take care of us.” The first replied “Mother? You actually believe in Mother? That’s laughable. If Mother exists then where is She now?” The second said, “She is all around us. We are surrounded by her. We are of Her. It is in Her that we live. Without Her, this world would not and could not exist.” Said the first: “Well I don’t see Her, so it is only logical that She doesn’t exist.” To which the second replied, “Sometimes, when you’re in silence and you focus and listen, you can perceive Her presence, and you can hear Her loving voice, calling down from above.” Maybe this was one of the best explanations of the concept of GOD.

Why the music? Alan Watts does not need that kind of drama. Without it i find the message much stronger. Thats my feeling. Thank you for his voice and the beautifull film.

Yes the power of semantics is awesome. You can say black is white. And white is pink. etc etc etc. But reality has not changed one tiny bit. No matter how much you work or play with words. Bravo Alan Watts.

Amazing insight into the nature of reality. Such expression of simplicity is beyond extraordinary.

The essence of your mind is intrinsically pure

“You wouldn’t be able to see anything unless there was nothing behind your eyes” what a quote what a quote!

The last final sleep. I await the bliss of darkness. Quiet. Peace. Fear is not real. Neither am I.

Really interesting. Something about hearing this guy talk is soothing.

Alan Watts...I love these deep videos.

Beautiful. How I appreciate this man. Nothingness… is the substratum of everythingness. And yet to call it nothingness, implies that there is really a somethingness. So really… it is beyond both concepts and that’s where words and language fail because the moment you attempt to describe “it”… well, that’s not it. I came from a course in miracles when I was just a teen, which went right over my head but for some reason it just kept calling. Then came all the channelled messages. Then Neville. Which held my interest for a while until it just didn’t. Seemed to be a whole lot more to this experience we all call “reality” than just getting what your mind desires out of life. Then came Alan Watts. Then Mooji. Then Ramana Maharishi. Then the teachings of Advaita Vedanta and somehow full circle to ACIM. It’s amazing how life leads you. Thank you from my heart to the creator of the video 🙏🏽

Remember u are important ❤ even through the memories of yourself that you dislike

He always answer my thoughts ❤. Thankyou so much.

Energy dancing for itself

Well done, gentlemen 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Thank you... May love & unity overpower hate & resentment! One humanity! God bless ❤ 🙏🏽🫡

I flunked first grade because I thought the adults who were telling me what to do, were crazy, or basically full of $#!+. I felt a lot of shame and guilt for that, over the years, until I discovered Allan Watts. Thank God for a little perspective; now I know for certain that my first instincts were correct.

I believe that being dead is exactly the same as not being born yet

_You have come from death to here. Death is both the beginning and an ending, but it is only a stage of your great existence and your great service to life._ - MV Summers

Intriguing. From his perspective, nothingness is the whole of where all of existence soons gathers to and where it all comes from. In a way he wants to come to grips with death and the great beyond that no one can explain or know about until they meet their inevitable demise. A brilliant man with a mind that needs an excuse to escape the anxiety of what death will bring. Bravo

The biggest mystery is that why is there something rather than nothing

7:50 Nothingness is the reality. This is the most incredible nothing because it contains the universe. What else can you be? Thanks Alan. 25 September 2023.🌹🤩🦅😂🐧⛳🤠🌱🌛

" if your memories are all you have when you go, what did you have when you came? " Charles Beck

YOU ARE GODS ENERGY ! AND ENERGY NEVER DIES ! IT ONLY TRANSFORMS ! ❤❤

I like home cooked gourmet recipes and really enjoy someone better than me cooking up a delicacy. Music and laughing children are just as good.😊

Keep up the great videos.☺. Love listening to these speeches.

This is amazing and eye opening to listen.

If after death there is no more awareness, which is called nothingness, then at that moment there will be no more memories, no more joy, no more sadness, no more forms of color, no more everything including the meaning of nothingness.

Showing this video to all my bills..

There is one human soul. You're it

We were already at nothing , and became something.

With the exception of the artificial and abstract thinker in you, you are pure Nature.

"i am NOTHING god i am" my son i am here to protect you ! behold !

The miracle of Tzim-Tzoum.

Nothing is a difficult concept. However, I thank you for your views on this topic.

This ia exactly what i feel for about 10 years until today, human are formed by an incident, so does with all the living being on earth ... we just race to our death by time

Stunning

“This is the most incredible nothing”

“There is no other world. There isn’t even this one.” -Emil Cioran

death isn't a fact because life isn't a fact but before life and after life are and the fact is that we have all been nothing but now we think we are something and fear is the lie

I almost just left my body and freaked out lol

Somebody tried to tell you can’t imagine nothing

There is no such thing as nothing, for in order for something to exist it must have substance and there is no substance to "nothing". Also, there is no end of existence. Since matter cannot be created nor destroyed it will always, always exist in some form. You see?

"It takes nothing to have 'something'. Perhaps, I understand this as The ALL is the 'Zero & One' (0 & 1); or the 'Noun & Verb'; or The Egg. Yes. The Egg = 'Shell & Yolk/Whites'. Existence & Desire (to exist).❤

As a Christian sometimes im questioning if eternal life is really a paradise, i know that God know what is better for us but still living for eternity is still a scary thing to think about

So good ly defined!!!!!❤❤❤❤

Ones legacy written after oneself left the world

Enjoy your dream 😅❤☯️🙏

We are nothing and everything

I can't wrap my head around not existing 🤯

I tend to think being death is like going under a general anesthetic and never coming awake again. It is still terrifying to be annihilated... loosing one's self, those you love... everything you have lived with for a life time. It is one thing in life none of us can avoid. I am not into this everything out of nothing yet though I appreciate the default state is nothingness.

There are 5 growth rings in life....1. rebellion...2 repentance...3 request for God's glory...4.revelation...5. response through worship. This guy is at stage 1

Fantastique

In the grand scheme of things (i.e. Universe) we are so incredibly small and insignificant that we're not even a speck of a speck of a speck, we're basically nothing, so yeah😎

It is a very likely truth that we are in a manner of speaking "nothing". Otherwise you have the unanswerable philosophical questions, "What thing created the first thing?", or "How did nothing create something?" Resorting to "God" is no help, because "God " would be a too fantastically marvelous of a "something" to simply be here without explanation or needing assembly. Who would have imagined that "nothing" could be so weird as to be mountains and oceans and stars and talking people?

Nothingness that exist will remake each soul dust. ASAP. You're not going to be absent for a second.

"Nothing is a something whether it's real or not" "The lack of things is a thing unto itself" -MeowTzu😹

Nothing cannot exist. Nothing is only a concept.

Nothingness Is Just A Concept 🌕...I am something...even death is an illusion...so how can i be nothing...

That pure nothingness is HEAVEN/SPACE_OUR GOD/CREATOR of EARTH❤

I hope I’m not the only one that finds comfort in know that nothing really matters. It give me permission to take the big swings. No one will remember you in 100 years anyways.

‘ what else you could be?’

The STATE ISNT is then another STATE and this mean that IT IS AS WELL

As "Carl Segan" said: We're all made out of Star stuff.....

I have been watching Alan Watts videos. I can understand and try to apply what he said. I think that people who watch this videos can do it... but... what about a child who is victim in a war, slaves centuries ago, or the millions of people who have had a really extreme life through the human history? There is another video called "dont be scared, its only a show"... but, how can some who have an extreme terrible life can "wake up" and have joy? Or this enlightment is something reserved to certain people ? (Excuse my english)

Soo Interesting, Keep it up pal

my latest depressive/anxious episode came from the realization that I will never see my mother again, my mind dosent like that concept, it dosent like to include my mother in the 'everything' yk its always, MY mother, then I realized that's the ego, and it shall be slain

Right on point! 😘✌💓

Love reality, paradise not reality.

So what you're saying is, that even in our lifelong and frantic rush to be something, we are in fact the momentary antimatter which preceeds the eternal matter

We are talking about a realization that "you" (the self) is NOTHING. This is an experience of huge loss. It's a cause for insanity unless one is prepared. A lot of people die in a state of insanity when they realize the level of loss (which is an illusion because you never had anything to begin with) that is taking place. This is why "practice" (the path) exists - to prepare for the openess, total loss and freedom of being NOTHING. NOTHING is what we really are - meaning completely free of ego-identity. But conditioning has convinced us otherwise. To realize you are "nothing" is to realize you are everything - total freedom. When you identify as somebody who loves and you lose that one that you love you wake up knowing you are nothing knowing that you never were what you thought you were and in that profound loss the realization of your nothingness is all there is and even that is nothing because in realizing you are nothing you realize that you are everything and have always been so So simply know, realize, recognize and wake up.. YOU are nothing and therefore free ❤🙏

Have some fun and make your life meaningful because, after all, there's a sense of nothingness after you lived. Be grateful that you've lived a wonderful life today. This is also one of the lessons from the Zoom session with my life coach, Lisa Haisha, which has made my life better and happier than before and realized that I want to make thing that makes me happy. 🙂

Everything is.

Everything means LESS than nothing----Elvis Costello

Those with wisdom of experience except we are NOthing without GOD in our life, and everything with GOD...

I live in the feeling of nothingness. I don't give a shit about anything. I dread each morning that life comes again that I have to fake it and interact with a bunch of people I don't care to interact with to fulfill my needs. The human game is fucking stupid. I hope I get to witness is complete undoing

You think you know we never die

It's not a prospect, it's inevitable.

NOTHING NOTHING BEFORE SOMETHING THEN NOTHING ONCE MORE AND NOTHING IS SOMETHING AND NOTHING BEFORE SOMETHING IS SOMETHING NOTHING FOR SURE NOTHING IS SOMETHING SO NOTHING IS PURE SOMETHING FROM NOTHING NOTHING FOR SOMETHING NOTHING IS SOMETHING AND SOMETHING IS NOTHING

I'd feel the same as I do now lol

Bonsoir alan pourquoi quand je vous regarde j.ai envie de pleurer kiss you

Everything is nothing and is everything

but what is it, that nobody has died in the humanity until now, why are there graveyards?

Everything relates to its opposite .

After listening to several videos of Alan Watts, I'm wondering, in two thousand years from now, will his followers be enlightened or crazed fanatics as the followers of Jesus and Muhammad are? Will his followers have missed the point as the followers of Jesus and Muhammad have? Just a thought.

WELL put 🇵🇷👁🙏👍

We experience and know what is but do we really experience or know “nothingness”? If you’ve seen a dead body, the dead person is still there. He or she is not nothing. So nothing is not really “the real”. We haven’t got there yet. As far as I know, maybe never. Sorry, cheer up, you’re life is what you make it.

The unborn is the past. Life is the present. Death is the future. Or is it the other way around?

"The stars are matter, we're matter. It doesn't matter". Don Van Vliet (aka Captain Beefheart)

Great clip, thank you ~ tho be much easier to concentrate on the content without any music..his voice (& the visuals) would be plenty ~

Ah, but don't you realize that the universe is a paradox? He who is the least is the most and he who is the most, is the least? It's full of paradox.

Nothing as a being not as blankness. Nothing as the reality

iiiiih, who creates these pictures of the brain, looking "inside my head"

Nothing is everything

What is life after death like? Well remember before you were born, kind of like that .....

When you type what your mind asked you to type you find such a video

What is the reality of nothing?
