This Will Give You Goosebumps - Alan Watts on Death 

Can you tell me what music this is in the background of Alan's talk in this video?

Don't bother. The site is bs.

​​@@11mauck11It's Yanni.

Sure is...guy can talk lots of shit...if he believes it he's giving himself lots of self importance.

I did die 40 minutes after suffering a cardiac arrest and I had the most amazing experience,when I came round I told the paramedics I know I’ve just died ,it freaked them out

I'm a deep thinker, but this poignant thought has never entered my head before. Absolutely true though.

Maybe when their lights went out they would have a glimpse of the truth.

Yep!!

Ha ha.... I've been saying something like this for decades now...with ONE caveat..... I _know_ what will happen when I exhale my last breath....I'll be in the same place I was before I was born. Complete, total eternal rest & bliss. I'll be sad though.... I wanna see what becomes of my daughter & her daughters..... I'll never know, that is the sad truth of death. Never to know what becomes of the future. I just can't fathom that Jebus will be there after saying.... _Ah ha Gotcha!_

There has to be something else after this. There’s too much unexplained stuff happens to lining people- seeing a ghost for example. I’ve seen one. Many people have. Poltergeists that move things etc. there’s SO much that we have no clue about.

Yes

I am sorry for your loss.

Science is saying now that the universe is intelligent.......a collective consciousness that we return to after physical death.......🥰🥰🥰🥰

Deepest condolences for your loss

​@lindamclean8809 love this. Truly fascinating

How does he know he didn't exist before he was born? Because he doesn't remember? I guess because he didn't remember a dream then he never dreamed right? Or even acknowledge that he's ever slept because he doesn't remember existing while sleeping. He could never have been 2 years old because he doesn't have a memory to prove it. Consciousness, is the entire point of the universe. Consciousness is why everything down to the smallest of chemical reactions happened perfectly for us to be here right now. One degree off and nothing would be here. The big bang banged into existence at the perfect rate of speed. Too fast and nothing would have came together, to slow and it all would have collapsed in on itself. Life would never emerge from lifeless rocks and gases if not for consciousness. If we were to all remember what tf life is, the universe is, then the point of now would be lost. A meteor hitting earth tomorrow doesnt make us or the universe meaningless. It makes the point of life more meaningful. If the big bang is indeed the beginning of this universe, and all matter, all atoms were contained in a singularity the size of a subatomic particle, that means, you and I, were there at the beginning of it all. Consciousness, and the bodies we inhabit were contained in a microscopic point. I don't remember that either. I don't remember dreaming last night although everyone dreams every night. I don't remember anything at 2 years old. I don't remember a past life even though countless kids in earth do. I'm not scared of death. Whether it's close to what I know to be the obvious truth or if it were "not existing." I wouldnt exist to contemplate not existing anymore. As ridiculous as that notion is. You were there in the beginning, you'll be there long after earth is gone. Were the universe experiencing itself. Ourself.

​@@MosDefnIT88You totally get it wrong way around ^^ Look up "anthropic principle", You've been proven wrong 67 years ago x)

Markus Twainius 😂

How will that pay my bills

⁠@@MosDefnIT88for existing he has existed, he exists now, and will forever be existing. For the breath we still breathe in and out we are not breathing by ourselves but by existing we don’t control ourselves “our body’s” if we could then we would never fell pain or even die. But what ever has been created the breath of life brings everything into existence. So without the breath there no existing no consciousness of nothing.. it goes hand in hand by the saying “which came first.. time or thought? Whelp if you think it’s time no, it was never time.. what about thought? No.. because the “words” came second.. you have to come up with the words to produce any time or thought.. but before you can come up with words you have to be breathing before anything.

🥺 sorry to hear that. May he RIP 🙏

So true... life is nice feeling and wonderful.

My brother passed 19 years ago and his memory it's not fading one iota as a matter of fact, I'm remembering more and more about him

@@tim59ism _The brain doesn't produce consciousness_ Gotta love the internet for the amazing & astounding lack of evidence containing commentaries. About 99.9% of all things that have ever lived on planet earth are extinct. That means, the .1% left, is everything we can see today...all plants, animals, see creatures...anything that utilizes the energy of the sun. That's as astounding & mind boggling amount of death planet earth has seen. Once you die, that's it. There's no seeing anyone or anything again. All the more reason to celebrate & enjoy the life we have before us....and to keep those dear to us deep in our memories....as fading as they may be.

I see your point and I agree with you.

🙏

May I ask how you saw where they went? Did you have a near death experience yourself?

When you are around enough dying people, they tend to tell you what they see right before they take their final breath. Don’t think about it too hard, you may hurt yourself.

As an RN it would be a contradiction in your education and practice as an RN to think otherwise beyond the clinical death in which the person ceases to exist, no magic just death, many want to believe in the feel good stuff but common sense of the end of life is that it is the end, no more for the one that has died, the reward for having lived is that we do not know anything after we die so nothing matters, we no longer have to struggle in the life we were in, don't know how you could have seen where your patient went, you didn't go there unless you are speaking of the mortuary which is in fact clean and bright.

Most people at the point of death have the realisation that they are not the body and mind. We were just a projection of the beloved. I hate to use words for the unnameable but, it is the only way to communicate it. Beyond this dream is reality. Individuality is the dream, oneness is the reality.

You you suffer from trauma? Or fine living in a universe devoid of your loved? Mmm at least he ain't got to be a slave here.

Totally

​@@davecromwell7001your consciousness is leaking my friend

Great. My father has given no sign, I used to for years try to communicate somehow. Absolutely nothing.

@@wascopI Not even the slightest dream that felt potentially real?

I'm terrified

It's entirely natural to fear death. It's our survival instinct. Everyone is anxious about it.

@@michaeladvs224it is quite scary I just came back to the video today and it really does help, really think about everything he says about what we are and how we grow, it all makes sense and it sounds peaceful although I know that’s not gonna entirely help because I’ve been on this journey of fearing death but I know that eventually I will overcome it just like you will and everyone else going trough what we are and worrying isn’t gonna change the outcome so go out and smell the flowers and enjoy the sunshine :)

@@michaeladvs224the fact that so many people share this fear I feel like just reinforces the main message in this video as in we are all one sharing experiences and things

​@Otree859 except the one's who commit suicide, light themselves on fire, suicide by cop. They don't seem to fear death.unless they were thinking they weren't going to die.

Just remember to put your soul in the recycling bin when your done with life. ♻️

My God that sounds exhausting.

I think that scares me more than anything. Cause that would mean, we will HAVE to be here in the future, experiencing everything that happens, until the end of humankind. And then one? We transfer into AI robots scaling the universe for other life forms? Then what, drift until the universe expands to a point of not seeing another star, then watching all the stars die one by one, after that watching black holes die, til all the atoms fizzle out amd all that's left is radiation? What if the next vessel is in a third world country plagued by famine and more suffering? Then the next is worse yet? If we die and just go into another new vessel, it seems as if we will jist have to keep experiencing different levels of life, and there's an absolute certainty some will be WAY worse off and some will be way better off.. and it WILL end at some point.. I wouldn't want to be in the generation of mankind that has to find a way to get off world or be engulfed by the sun when it enters its red giant stage.. also if we are just a spiritual entity hopping to new vessels, maybe we are just ONE being, experiencing ALL of human life, one at a time, until ALL human life has been lived and extinguished, then at the end maybe we merge into the one Tru spirit form that we are. A god? A star? Mere energy without the ability to experience anymore? The idea of death, afterlife, nonexistence, reincarnation, or the like. All are terrifying. All are just as beautiful at the same time..

Define what you mean by "spirits or souls".

I think we just go to consciousness in a different reality where we didn’t die until we ascended

For what? This place is obviously some kinda hell. A trap. A huge form of slavery…

Accents....

I believe it's a combination of older microphones and what's known as a transatlantic accent. It was common back in the day, especially amoungst actors and media. Check it out youl hear his accent in it.

@@JUNGBODHISATTVA so then you would say this accent is disappearing ?

@@renegadezen7841 Yes. It was mainly created in the first place so the tone of a Human voice would be able to be picked up from old microphone technology, which would amplify a higher-pitched voice much better than a lower one. That's also why a lot of them sound like they're talking from the top of their throats. Microphones are so good now that we don't need to speak a certain way for our words to be heard. Hope that helped.

@@StrangeScaryNewEnglandhis accent is more Received Pronunciation. The trans Atlantic accent was created by Americans.

Just like Carl Sagan said. Conscienceness is the way of the Universe to know itself.....or something like that. Written in May 2024.

It’s not true. Please read in Luke Ch16 of what The Lord Jesus Christ Himself, says happens to a person when they die.

@@ronbusby3335 i wish i could believe in god, but my heart keeps reminding me that its just faith and I may never see loved ones again. i cant expect the best of my future because then what if I'm wrong and I wasted my one life waiting for something that didn't exist

@@joefranklin1837 Dear friend, Scripture teaches that the devil has the ability to do to humans just what you described. “whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.”-(2 Corinthians 4:4) however please don’t lose heart, The Lord Jesus Christ, can absolutely open your eyes and He is able to save your very soul, “if” your willing to repent of your sins and place your faith in Him by trusting in His DEATH, BURIAL and RESURRECTION as the payment for your sins! “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”-(Romans 10:13) “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on Me hath everlasting life.” -(John 6:47)

i hate that thought almost as much as it comforts others

Amen

Beautiful answer

I hate kids. I just live for me.

Clearly thoughts of a young man, Mitchell? Hang around a few years and see how you feel. Maybe life plays out that that is the only way you can see your granddkids - if you are lucky enough to have them. I wish I could post a photo of my Dad holding his Grandson for the first time. He was not disabled btw but the expression on his face speaks volumes! Who among us would you deny that pleasure?

I didn't fear birth - who does, I had no memory of it. I feared death as a child, as an adult it will happen when it happens, I hope it won't be in prolonged pain but I've experienced that in life and didn't know when it would end hoping one or the other. As I get older my death will be quicker and I won't fight it as well as my strength is less - that is how we all go - if we are lucky. What is is.

I've felt that way too and was asked if I wanted to go to that situation.. Unless I have a crazy imagination I remember having that discussion..So many unanswered questions.

I also had dreams up until age 10 where I had the ability to levitate and fly. I had many of these dreams and actually looked forward to having them. Very strange for me to have them but I can't explain it. At age 23 I did have an out of body experience and saw myself sitting in my chair and I thought I had died but I was floating above myself for about 20 seconds and then bam right back into my body..I consider that a gift and realize there is more to this existence that we really don't know.

@@williamkeller3611 The mind does weird stuff when you're sleeping.

But if we "no nothing about what really happens after we die" doesn't that mean we might end up "know-where" .....?

Clown comment

There's nothing wrong with accepting death. It's just that believing an afterlife is better kinda takes away from the value of this one life we know we do have. There's no heaven to store my treasure in, so I store it up here on earth for those I leave behind.

life is but a dream on the way to death and when we die the soul is reborn.

@@robertwalker4930 people believe that because it sounds a lot better then nothing happening which is almost positively what actually happens. We have literally just make up being reborn because we do not want to believe nothing happens when you die. Nothing happens which I will admit can sound a little scary but we will not even know about it.

P L E A S E read in Luke Ch16, of what The Lord Jesus Christ Himself had to say about what happens when a person dies.

Exactly that for me too ! He says too many simple things that I have never looked into but which make sense. He has a non-duality approach which I believe is the beginning of truth

@@Mihau0794 my dear friend, it was not just some random person who wrote The Scriptures, it was The Lord Himself and He says in His Word “I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me” -Isaiah 45:5, and He lovingly warns humanity of EXACTLY what will happen upon a person’s death “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” -Hebrews 9:27, please do not take my word for it, read for yourself what the Lord Himself says in Luke Ch16, about someone who is CURRENTLY in Hell. That person is still THERE right NOW! That is the awful consequence of dying without having your sins forgiven. “It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.” -Hebrews 10:31, But the Lord IS kind and He has made a way so that you do not have to go to that awful awful place. “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” -Romans 10:13
