Stop thinking, Stay centered │ Alan Watts 

The audio of this video has been enhanced to be more clear and enjoyable. It's part of an original Alan Watts lecture, it's not AI!

It’s GREAT not adding music!! For good reason Alan Watts never intended for music to guide the emotive feeling when hearing his words.

Alan, like Ram Dass, Eckhart Tolle, Sadhguru and Mojii are a medicine for the suffering of the mind, none of them were or are perfect, some have had terrible loss, some lost everything, some died with addiction but what they all KNOW is that ultimately none of the good/bad/ugly matters, our consciousness will always triumph over any conceptual pain or problems. A hug to my fellow travellers ❤❤❤

"If you take words to seriously youre like a person who climbs a signpost instead of going where it points." - Very true and thats why you will never find the meaning of life in a book or by thinking. You can only expirence meaning by living your own life.

I love whenever he hits that singing bowl. That's real silence.

Alan Watts was brilliant, and his voice so soothing to listen to when you need to wind down. Crazy to think he's been gone since the mid 70's, so much of what he said is relevant today

Many are criticizing Alan for alcohol "abuse." I highly doubt the majority know his story accurately enough to point fingers. At the same time there are hallucinogenic substances widely taken that allow for intense transformation, yet most would not touch them either.

Don't jump on the train of hate. I have a similar issue in my gut whatever you want to call it I'm 32 I've drank since I was 15 and I've been sober you know like 6 years off alcohol back and forth on the other things regardless just a human being with all the other crap that other human beings have I have a little more Dark Side than some and when I stumbled upon Alan Watts I was healed in some sense from my Western philosophy of spirituality and during my journey I found him profoundly useful and continuing to learn about him and his life I was honestly pretty bummed out to find that he died drunk basically lost and floating in the opposite of everything that he preached one thing that I try to remember above all else we are not perfect we are not humans and those that cannot do teach that doesn't mean he could not do that just means he wasn't doing what he should have and the people that should have been around him weren't my advice is just take positivity for what it is I keep watching these positive things or listening to all these educational things about mental health and spiritual wealth and you know what in every comment section we're all arguing and bickering with each other and it's so hilarious because if there is an afterlife they would be cracking up about how we're arguing with each other over philosophy spirituality peace and love

Thanks so much leaving the music out!

“We imagine ourselves to be results of the past”.

Reality is not something that just "is", it depends on what you seek and how you are. Your search can make you change.

I learned all this from meditating. We are very symbolic beings. I love love love Alan Watts!

Alan watts , where were you in my life 20 years ago. Thanks for your wise words.

It's a pure pleasure to listen to Alan Watts. Such a music ❤

The real thoughts will come to mind when you just let yourself be

Allan Watts was the most brilliant mind and a mystic of the west. He was far far ahead of his times. I would give him the title MAHARISHI ALLAN WATTS. Once you listen him you can't escape from him. It is the trap of the Universal Mind.🙏🙏🙏🕉🕉🕉

Just love here. Too much evil exists. I am one of many who sees the best of all things and I am here to spread the truths. Anyone else know Terrance McKenna?

Props to the audio engineer who saved this audio. Fantastic work. Epic content as per usual from AWW.

Life is philosophy also. Live each day fully with love & harmony. One is always in the now.

. Real silence

Thanks for your work and time, I'm lucky to be here with you guys, peace and love to all ❤❤❤

True definition of an artist that has evolved... We living in a beautiful time... Watching and listening to this was soo therapeutic.

This guys voice is so soothing. Im totally zoned out.

9:24 spoken word is "conceive" text is "perceive". Love me some Alan Watts!

And yet when you Google the word "meditate", it says the complete opposite to what Alan is saying here. Much love to you Mr. Watts! 🙏🏼

Not fan of self help gurus but I had to comment on the wonderful art work Mr. Watts consistently has on his channels. Whoever is responsible, Thank You, sometimes images lift the spirit, where words can not. I can always tell one of your videos just by the look. You rock.

"Thank you for the sharing. It's so inspiring. 🙏👍 "

This is such a beautiful visual for Alan Watts words. Thankyou so much for taking the time to create it. ❤

Beautiful video visually. Alan Watts is one of our greatest teachers.❤🎉

Sweet teaching even as you can hear it’s one of his earlier ones. Really great, just a few things he matured to greater understanding about. If you’re new, keep listening!

Thanks for the video. The audio is superb (especially the lack of music) and the clips you dug up show the effort you put in.

La copertina con Alan Watts in versione santino o immaginetta sacra è da brividi!

Great visuals and subtitles. I see a lot of these types of channels, but this had some effort put into it which I appreciate.

Congratulations my friend! I'm in the same boat! Hang in there! I'm rooting for you!

I HATE this crappy world full of crappy people and all the egos

Very nice!

I love Allen Watts.

❤ thanks 🙏

The audio quality is astonishing premium quality. Well done. I wish i coukd get his long lectures in this quality.

Thank you so much

This popped into my feed at the perfect time☯️

Thank you

Good job cleaning up the audio! Thanks❤

Beautiful

I love you brother ,R.I.P ❤❤❤❤❤❤

I’m your 527th subscriber and bday 5/27 lolol. I look for patterns in seemingly meaningless things to subconsciously re-remember my divine “awakening” in which I saw synchronicities every time I looked at the clock. I was so blissfully confused to the point I assumed I was Jesus Christ coming back again through everyone’s consciousness. 222 forever ♾️ 👁️ remember remember. Don’t fall back into negative thought patterns so I CREATE my own thought patterns. Even if that means creating patterns in meaningless things

17:10 Simple and powerful.

Gods (Name ) means causes too become example the (universe) thankyou for your thought one man sharpens another

this + a trip

No background music, thank you!!

Very good upload. ❤

Dont stop thinking ,just watch and observe thinking

I'll have to THINK about that! 😂

if i say i dont have time its realy truth cause as we know time doesnt exicist there for its not wrong ti say i have no time

Omniscience, is what it’s all about. Know all that is knowable.

His voice is Lion King's /Scars be pre**pared!!!!

Who is Alan Watts, this is great. 👍

Love how it ended

“Well do YOU?” 😂😂😂😂😂

reality is consciousness

His timeless words should be cherished... No matter what you think he was,... it's his words not the man... stop looking for gurus...! Get rid of the conditioned Mind... namaste to all 🙏

Heaven.

BORROWINGS WITHOUT CONSENT INTO MIND

I FEEL LIKE THERE IS SOMETHING WRITTEN ON MY FOREHEAD AND IT'S NOT SOMETHING GOOD !!!!

"...it has no future. Well do you? Much better to have a present, because if you don't it's useless to make plans because when they work out, you won't be there to enjoy them. You'll be thinking of something else." OUCH OUCH OUCH. That would be me. Same thing with getting things I want...

That was fast 😊❤

I've stopped thinking entirely once before in my life

❤❤❤

AI has obviously touched up this audio. Nice and crisp. Thanks

"you can do while thinking"

What skill yo be able to go in circles forever, grab your attention and never get to a point... without anyone noticing 🤯

Amazing video !! quality information always! I have a question, how does one arrive at a state of No Mind (stop thoughts), what exactly should be done? Thank you 🙏🙏

Interesting voice edits

❤

Not heard this one before

In America it's called flow

I very well know what not thinking means, but not thinking of this sort needs an ingredient. The society meaning the system allows you not not to think, they want to think and thinking will result not knowing as they can do what they want. They want you think and think as they, the system wants you to be a busybody and forget about essential matter in your life. Metaphysician

Right

I have three cars in my driveway, I own two burdens.

I only know one thing. I know nothing 😊

How did you make the audio so clear ? 😮

@10:40 it is 'Dyana' not 'jana'.

It has to do with hearing disabled. Google translate To reach. Everybody . The message is the same

"Mor-Tal-UP!"

Only way I was able to trully be in a moment, and not to think is trough the psychedelics. I have never been able to achive it through any kind of meditations. Various breathing techniques, guided meditation, binaural beats, mantras... I've tried it all so meny times for quite some time, but it seams not possible. Maybe it is because of my ADHD. It seams like cheating, but I am glad I have those experiences of oneness, otherwise it would stay very far away concept.

the way I'm drinkin' you down😊

To the people saying this is AI generated, do you have any proof? From everything I’ve heard I could always tell when a voice was AI generated. This has all the nuances of Alan’s voice, both in sound and content. I am also fairly certain I’ve heard this same speech years ago already.

To the comments from 1 day at a time below what makes you think that Alan Walsh died drunk and lost and wandering yes he like to drink but that doesn't mean that he didn't live his life the way that he talked about living is life that's the paradox so I think you misunderstand when you stand that he stands and lost this just incorrect he didn't drink he like did like to drink and he did for a long time but he know means

Will never watch a video that says Stop thinking, stay centered... Who are you to tell me what to do? :))))))) Everyone who reads this - do whatever da fuk you want and be as healthy as possible - have a good new year too :)

IMAGINE, reality without words concepts thoughts and ideas,what reason would there be to believe that you are anything other than what you are aware of.? What evidence is there ,that there is anything other than what you are aware of.?

Blame is so much easier

Ohhhh the world is a scary place

Rather large error in transcription: Watts says "You can't CONCEIVE reality." The transcript reads "You can't PERCEIVE reality." (And "perceive" is misspelled, too; but the larger error is the misstatement of what he's saying.)

What is with the Gong sound near the beginning? It drowns out part of what he was saying…

i love alan, i am just becoming hesitant due to the audio and development of AI. i just hope they don’t mess with the man’s spirit and fabricate his messages
