The Illusion of MONEY, TIME & EGO - Alan Watts 

at the end... what soundtrack u used there ? can you share please

will do! thank you for providing these insightful vids, truly unique

Bravo 👍👍 Alan Watts is my go to for self reflection.

Did after skool have a mushroom trip or something? He’s seemed to know what to post

Keep up the great effort!!!

I would have to disagree. Present = getting worked up and angry over things that mean nothing in the long run. You need a combination of all three if you wish to live in peace

@@icedawggg you’re right dawgg👌🏽

just remember that you only came into this world with your mind and your body, so it stands to reason that they are the two things you need to nurture the most. an active lifestyle and educating yourself on nutrition is the best investment you can make in your life, because if your mind and/or body fail you, you don't have shit.

@@MrBadintentionss yes I rather be rich in health then actual money

Love Best quote thanks for sharing Safar

Ooh nice I like this

Big facts

Speak for urself

Love this comment. I feel the same, I’m only in the present and myself when doing my hobbies or in nature

I agree. If you haven’t experienced a silent meditation retreat in which you sit in silence for a certain period of time, I highly recommend it. You will find the present moment like you never have before. I’ve been on two and I am going on a third one for 18 days next month. They will change your life, I promise. There’s a place called spirit rock in Cali and one called the Rocky Mountain ecodharma center in Colorado. I’ve been to both. Sitting with others in silence while meditating and while eating is one of the most beautiful things we can experience in life-from my perspective.

some people struggle so hard to live in the moment, i struggle to see outside of it

@@xxmeanyheadxx Well put.

The word myself I don’t spell together… I’m by my Self … this self is something just like of if I were to say I’m by my car I wouldn’t say I’m by mycar… so why do we spell it the we we have since forever

@@jameskulevich8907 lol crap it totally is. Thanks!

but if you take life seriously, and strive to make as much precious money as possible and buy land and property, you can have many kids, you can leave the land to them in your family name potentially forever if you create a family pride of the land, you can own a piece of the world forever and ever. even if you are dead.

seen this quote used way too often but it’s so true

This is loosely based on the quote from Fight Club

"Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate, to buy s**t we dont need"

See..... greed works to motivate. We think in the ideal; we live for the moment; we see in others those qualities we disdain........ so we love it when charming voices tell us the things we desire to hear--- even though we don't follow them long enough to understand the hidden message. 🌾🌿🐡

Teacher…, Why do these FREE MASON Lodge Members lie to our faces about everything.?.?.? Had you done something that was so wicked, and so vile, and so upsetting, would you want others too know whom could hurt you back for hurting them first??? Let us take a look at the LOT of [their ways] #QANON /_\ where the Demolay - Jobs Daughters - Rainbow Girls, and Eastern Stars to Shriners like LISA HAVEN and AMTV have all they could want “with money” as they Denied PizzaGATE when it first came to the attention of we The nonmason Populations of Father Earth and Mother Heaven??? Why would she and he say these things “are not” True in Hollywood of the MTV FREE MASONIC Lodges??? Surly Comet Ping Pong, and the release of so much damming images and conversations all they way up to OBAMA and Hillary Clinton would have given any Honest Person some pause…. Moreover, how can RICHIE FROM BOSTON the Road Man give out $500.00 [to viewers] Q’ when none of us are WORKING??? He sounds just like them STIMULUS CHECKS U-Tube channels always saying WE GOT MONEY to give away to you if you will but {Like My Channel} and watch our Malfeasance!!! There is one thing Christ Jesus taught us about The EVIL ONES known as Angels called SATANS not SATAN Singular…..., and that is They Live for this world….., and when you live for this WORLD that is just a REFLECTION of what happened to our Real Celestial Sphere Home World if you have not been a Nice Person……., but one of Deceptions…….., and Misdirection no matter how convincing your “ACTING” as Actors and Actresses……..., there is always this one thing that if your really gave a damn about We nonmason…., you would say: The FREE MASON Lodge Members are “U.N. Troops” of JADE HELM 15 in all U.N. FLAG Territories for WE THE PEOPLE surely have no rights under our U.N. FLAGS even though WE pay all the Religious Military Government TAXES that allow people like Trump…, and Pence.. and Putin. and Xi, and Macron, and the Queen of England to LIVE OFF OUR Welfare as THEY LIVE Tell WE ARE what to do!!!! And even though I have singled out LISA HAVEN - AMTV - RICHIE FROM BOSTON cause they say they love Me, they still DENY that I Christ Jesus “have returned” in this Body known as The Host of the Spirits, and your body is the Host of another spirit, as is theirs, but what SPIRITS do these people whom LIE ABOUT EVERYTHING “have” for it is not the NARROW PATH of Honesty where you must say: The U.S. Government is doing high treason, Sedition, Treachery, nor do they talk about the ACT OF 1871, nor do they talk about THE MUD FLOODS, or our Celestial Sphere, or that we are all BORN into Purgatory for Redemption or Damnation!?!?!? Once you have this knowledge, and they speak it not, then people [like them] Q+ are just doing the work of THE WATCHERS to condition you to accept the Vaccines, the Mask, and that Christ Jesus will “never” return when ALL this Written Works PROVE That The Oracle Born of a Dead Wombman, and Touched by The SWORD of the ROMAN CATHOLIC God did so [choose me] Q’s to be the one to get us home... They don’t want to go home, or they know they can never go home for they too are The “unrepentant” that we call The Racka, and they have no hope for We The People of Pak-Toe… You know how to think things through, and these people might as well be more ALEX JONES “types” muddling the waters, but never actually speaking the TRUTH, nor the word of Our God, and Their God, and My God, and Your God… The Book of EXODICE!!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DQP3IqZuqbI.html Since these people whom have EVIL SPIRITS in their SOULS do not care for the Mercy or Grace of Our God of Gods, King of Kings, and Lord of Lords from the Book of Enoch, they say: No NEWS is Bad NEWS “as long as” it runs Traffic to feed your RU-vid Hollow WOOD lives of Worldly FAME!!!

Interesting. Everything that I've ever feared (which is not much!!) have all come true over the past 6-7 years. The rest happened in 2011-2012. More is happening right now. Pretty soon... they'll be nothing left to fear nor lose. 😎 But, essentially: absolutely nothing matters anyhow, so... whatever. I just have a few extra 'empty years' in my life instead of being fulfilled right up until my death. 💪😎🤟

Same with me. The journey goes on and fear becomes just another luggage not worth being taken along.

the #BigPharma lobby, who design the curriculum, and pay decision-makers (politicians) to execute their bidding, will not allow this knowledge in the open. #AmericanDemocracy #SchoolSystem #Institutions #NYSE #HealthForProfit

Why would they want people to know truth in school. They want people to continue to believe the illusions and lies. School is part of the system of brainwashing.

Perfectly said.

Sure I can see that. You can also say the flipside: lockdown has, in the same breath, dampered on people’s social lives because they cannot be in “groups” and enjoy company, depending where you are of course.

Life in America, no community.

I said the same thing. This is the cost of not paying attention

But they have money, the precious money...

Yes but he's telling you what you are not.

True I still struggle with that

Thing is, it's hard to believe that you're something else if you were told all of your childhood and all of your young adult life that you are something else. I don't believe that there is anyway to change that. I am that story.

Spin around (like a whirling dervish) clockwise(yang northern hemisphere/yin southern hemisphere) or counterclockwise (yin northern hemisphere/yang southern hemisphere) (torus spinning).

So when u die game over? Is that what u think it mean

@@san2476 that question couldn’t be missing the point more. By asking what happens after we die, you are concerning yourself with the future, rather like that Gertrude.

What does that mean

@@k.ccharles6505 Have your heard of the phrase “stress will kill you”? My interpretation is, that this means if you’re too busy worried about the past (depression) or future (anxiety), you’ll ruin your health and your plans will be pointless because you won’t be able to enjoy them. You’ll be sick or dead.

@@cozymac2595 welcome.

I've noticed that as you grow up you literally have no choice but to be conditioned by society to follow your inevitable orders. Slowly I notice myself losing my imagination, and my head is being pulled down from above the clouds as I grow older. In 25 years will I be open to Existence and be grateful for Life, or will I be working from 9 to 5 in a convenience store?

@@thinginground5179 The Illusion of working...

Money is a tool. U use it to buy things u need. Food, water, gas, clothing, shelter.. U can use the tool in the right way and budget. Therefore u have less to worry about than the other material things. You'll have the basuc material things to get through life that doesn't depend your life upon it.

@@seenitpurple : No offence meant but I feel sad that you own a manipulated mind. Those words don’t come from yourself buddy. If you are a human being, you are capable of several senses. Including feeling and thinking. Is that what you truly think or just bullpoop the systems throw to you and your mind digests?

I read Alan as a teen, young adult and thought how wonderful it was to finally know an intelligent adult. Once I gave the adult an inch they took the rest, they began to all say: 'get a life' and I have been spending all my time since, doing that. These vids bring back my youth and the pleasant knowing I had then that I cant seem to get back to. :{

I'm an introvert and my mind won't stop generating scenarios, possibilities, thoughts, except when I go to sleep and even then I have very vivid dreams. It's a fascinating part of the human body it gets me thinking even more lol

"lost in thoughts" mean that you're being, is dreaming as a servant of your ego mind, instead of being human, with thoughts.. (::)

@@nonya2905 haha! Yes, apparently we humans must always think.

Introvert and extrovert are just ideas. Its all the game of past experiences. If you had good social experiences in childhood, you naturally grow up to be a good social talker. Otherwise, you become socially awkward just like me. The key to switch between these two natures is not sticking with your past. It is hard to do that, because we are the embodiment of past memories, ideas and thoughts. So, the struggle arises the moment you are not satisfied with your nature. This struggle keeps changing up and down in amount throughout our lives. So, to conclude, if you want a permanent solution then completely get rid of your past or short answer "get rid of thoughts". That is what mostly works for me in social situations. I try to be in a thoughtless state where i can't remember any previous awkward interaction and thus, remain in the present manintaining my composure.

@@QuicksolutionsOnline Absolutely agree! This concept of “inter-being”, of knowing each of us is part of a whole is so true. We don’t exist in vacuum, we are in each of us. Thanks for sharing!

😂😂😂 watching this during online school

my thought exactly

🤣🤣💯

During Skool (the present moment)

PLEASE RATE OR ROAST MY FREESTYLE!

do you now know that you are God though? What Alan is saying there is far deeper than you may think, he is not just repeating some empty platitude there. He is referring to the mis-identification of the "self" with the body/mind/sensations (5 skandhas or 5 koshas). We do this because that's what we have been told - you are this body, you are your mind, etc. etc. None of it is true. That is what he is getting at there... he knows that "atman is brahman" (self is God) check this out, if you care: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rPtHCCT1SZM.html I highly, HIGHLY urge you to watch it... if you like western traditions (Christianity / Judaism) more, what must you answer when asked "Who is God?" "I AM". Yes, you are. There you go, its occulted in the western traditions, but if you must, go use them. Eastern traditions are way better, there is no occultation (hiding in parables etc.) its plani and out there.

@@warrierrohit Idk.. Would you say then it's meant for suffering? I believe to an extent: "indulgence not compulsion." Balance. It's definitely pleasurable to spend time with family and friends, explore and learn.. It's our egos and addictions we must be wary of.. Least that's what I think thus far. Attachment leads to suffering. And in the end we must let go, lest we be bound to our own shadow.

Pleasures are temporary , if you follow your life for pleasures your doomed bro Happiness is not equal to pleasures , happiness is something you are , pleasures are just chemical releases for some shit that happens to you, happiness is something you are , you are a vessel full of it and everything around has joy you just have to go ahead and reach it , there aint no good or evil in this world , its our ideologies, i could say a lotta stuff but nvm , have a great days from today guys ❤✌

Magical like this π precisely bro they set kids up to want to be slaves their whole lives. The indoctrination of the work till you die mentality is learned at school

Life is not a journey. It's a destination.

‘The meaning of life is just to be alive” but is it? Just because Alan Watts told us it is? It’s obvious because Alan said so? What about the people in the concentration camps from ‘Mans search for meaning’ by victor frankl? The only ones who survived were the ones who found meaning. Why do you think that is? I’m sure their meaning wasn’t ‘to be alive’. Being alive was hell for them. What about the idea that we can access our own meanings from our own souls without anyone telling us what it is? Does that satisfy you really and truly? Just ‘be alive’? I think people get stressed out because they are following someone else’s idea of what the meaning of their life is not because they are trying to achieve something. Achieving something you really feel in your soul is an adventure. Not having a driving force can easily make someone listless and depressed. Alan watts and eckhart Tolle obviously had a meaning driving them otherwise they would not have made the effort to write and give talks.

@@MythMReality Yes their meaning was to be alive and to keep on living. Otherwise they would just hit some nazi officers or tell them to shoot them or refuse to obey them and they would be dead instead of going through all the months or years of suffering. But most of them didnt do that, because ego tells us to do everything to survive. What do you think courage is? Is going against the ego, against the primal instinct to get ourselves safe instead of saving somebody in a burning building. But there are people that do that even if it costs them their lives. So yes, just be alive and try to live every day like its the most important one, because thats all you have.

@@basesku please look up the book I mentioned. It’s a well known study by a psychologist who was in the concentration camps. The study found that the ones who survived were ones who had deeper meaning and sense of purpose and beauty. It absolutely wasn’t just to be alive. Also may I ask you, have you faced terrible illness, have you faced true evil trying to break you down or an otherwise hellish period of your life? If you had you would know just be alive is not enough. David Goggins also has a meaning to do what he has achieved under great pain. My opinion is from personal experience and research, I don’t need philosophy. A person needs a transcendental connection to who they really are and what their soul longs for despite all the attacks. So many forces try to take you away from what you actually are. I think its better to balance it out a bit and view that it is BOTH. Its about the journey, its about the ability to sense the beauty around you in the moment, when it is there, but its also about the reconnection to your true being and being able to express that on this plane of reality. Its not about achieving something beyond yourself, but I would argue that it is about achieving the manifestation of yourself. Your real, actual self. The shamans call it the reconnection to your true being. You must reconnect to yourself and reconnect to the natural world around you of which you are part. Then you will be capable of guiding your own self and you wont need anyone to do it for you. Unfortunately when we are born into this world we aren’t like elephants able to just hang around and ‘live’, or like other wild animals. They have their own physical struggles of course, but the human being has to contend with very human conflict, and often they must fight to be themselves in a world where there are many who want to have a piece of you in some way. On the inner planes there are forces that try to control the way you see the world, the way you see yourself, and many other subtle aspects. If you want to be free and happy, you have no choice but to exert your own force and wrench back the control for yourself of your own sovereign being. You cannot be complicit or lazy when working on yourself, otherwise power to be yourself and manifest your own reality will be taken from you, not only by brainwashing influences, but also by your own biology, emotional predispositions, and spiritual injuries, without you realising it even happened. Therefore a philosophy of just being ‘alive’ is insufficient on a practical level. You need something much stronger as your polestar, and I would say that comes from your soul.

​@@MythMReality actually quite the opposite of being stressed out... maybe you should consider keeping an open mind to new ideas and not just your own. i like the idea of just being without the pressure of the matrix.

You can do it Kathleen. I see that you're Filipino too.

You have arrived

Thank you. I always aim to live for the simpliest things in life but I always worry if my way of living is boring (because most people believes having a simple and peaceful life is boring or that I should go chase for things that will make my life "less" boring) but this video and your comment calms and reassures me that I'm living the way just as I want it to be and there are people who like me prefer this kind of life 💓

Awwww. Thank you all for the kind words. Yeah.. Everyone can! Just gotta put your mind and heart to it. And don't forget to take a break for a while too. It's good to avoid being burnt out.

The point of letting go of materialism is to free up psychic energy from desires and wants. If you are addicted to desiring to change, desiring non materialism, you will suffer just the same. Think of time as a journey that you may take a snapshot of, or string snapshots together into a narrative. Time, space and gravity cannot be separated. A photon of sunlight exists from its release from sun until infinity trillions of years later, at the same "time" because it is a wave. So this is your snapshot life. It already exists forever because it happened. You are the part of time that you are. Every baboon born, from when the first mammal evolved to the last, is equally part of the evolution of baboons. It's nothing personal. Yet only you can make your contribution to the process and flow of time.

Yep

@Reid Ballantyne of course time is real as we are moving, no movement no time, you could say hence death, but human time is an absurdity.

time has existed since the big bang, doesn't matter if humans existed or not

Chant any of these mantras 3 times each while facing east, west, north(in the southern hemisphere) or south(in the northernhemisphere): "ieouams", "a-u-m", and "om". Sleep with your head placed east, west, north(in the southern hemisphere) or south(in the northern hemisphere). Perform the 5 Tibetan rites. Play music at 528 hz.

And then.....?

You are a loser, that’s why.

Lol you are not a loser , you simply don't have much friends

Maybe is for the best no need to contaminate yourself with bad energy. Maybe is time to find yourself and unlock your full potential.

One of my faves from Alan Watts is Myth of Myself try listening to it ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CkzNGbBM8P0.html

andrew what are you lol

Holy shit dude I used to watch your videos... crazy seeing you here

Ok protomario

@Cole Ritter Things that help you learn and grow ARE technically useful. Therefore, wasting your life is a useless way to go about it.

We are mass producing clothing still. We are all mass producing chemicals. We are all mass producing greed, hate, separation, anxiety, diabetes, we need love here. We need love. The shootings, the technology. Are we driving the car or the car driving us?

Life doesn’t need to be useful. I’m sorry you were made to feel not useful. Life should be loving. Loving feels the best in our bodies and biology. Choose love and see.

Do you buy food for more than the meal you are eating?

Goals are important 🙌

@@cartergomez5390 yeah that's what he's working on

And this is how people like you will end up screwed in your final years.

The real secret is that you don’t need to tell anyone. They don’t need to understand, only you do.

Ay shordy what's yo @??

Ryan Huncho really 😐

Look at a thought as a thought 💭 It’s been helping me a lot

@@salvie777 lmao he gets it hes living in the present

And love💚 to you to Frial, from Ireland! I feel the same as you, that we are all One. How is the situation in your country today? I don't believe much of what I hear in the media, but it does seem like your country has been through a very hard few years. I hope that things are going in the right direction, the direction of peace, tolerance and respect.

Sending love to you all from New York :)

Greetings from the Philippines.. -----****------

@timwins31 Absolutely

He wrote some great books you might be interested in. Very easily digestible.

@@jacobkuca7711 Yeahh when I watched his video for the first time....I immediately googled him and started reading his books. He is truly a gem.

Correction.. you body will decompose into Something not Nothing. Atoms just don't tend to disappear lightly unless fused or swallowed by a black hole. Your body will decompose and become a part of inanimate Universe and some of the atoms that made up your body will become part of a new living creature...

🤎we all feel that with you

You are not self. We’re all living organisms within this sole universe

Lol I never quarentined myself because quarantining would have taken everything I cherished and loved the most: family, community, hiking, exploring, learning, etc.

@@midnull6009 yeah it did take everything from me and it made me try and be happy just with me because that is one of the most important things you can learn to do

@@drebushby9085 you can do that without being quarentined tho. We are social creatures in general and too much isolation will destroy our mental health. Before covid there were paper on papers on isolation and confinement and how it eventually destroyed people. And than as covid hit....those research papers just got pushed down into a void. In fact, several states tried to pass laws banning solitary confinement in prisons because 99% of the inmates committed suicide or were never the same after.
