What if God got bored - Alan Watts 

I asked my mom at 5 y.o why Are we here? She replied "to play" i still remember it was yesterday

@@Matty94 that fucking awesome

Hopefully he’ll be an atheist just like daddy

@@realMelonTusk There always has to be a Redditor lmao

@@praise7925 redditors are malding 24/7 and it’s great entertainment.

This

Oh yea. This

is it odd that, that actual statement scares me? not to where I'm afraid but I start to doubt reality and for whatever reason I become distant unconsciously to protect myself. because I don't know what other people think? it is something that gives me anxiety for days at a time.

Charles Michael Fool

I agree with you Charles Micheal

This explanation adopted from Vedas. If you listen Alan's other audios you will know.

You should listen to some of his other lectures. He's absolutely amazing

It is

@@akkoXD this is the best it has a longer version called when masks fall I think it's a way of trying to explain Hinduism

😀

Gain an understanding of yourself before you use psychedelics. Without that foundation, you will not gain any perspective.

Yes.. Yes, you can. And, it works. There is only one present, beside other presents. Not ahead, or behind, other presents, those are illusions. BESIDE. Every moment you slip to the side, and reality collapses around you. Probability becomes Possibility becomes Reality, the current present. That ahead and behind is to the side, there is no ahead or behind. When you take that step "forward", collapse that probability, it collapses and becomes in that direction. The "past", insofar as it exists, is mutable, and is always collapsing to arrive at the current present. You manifest laterally, to the current present, and the illusion of the behind and ahead collapses again. It need only lead to the probabilities of the Current present. Probabilities of 'previous'(other/beside) presents need not be referenced. Mutable.

so if we are God why would alan be telling me?

The essence of the heroic mushroom trip.

prove it

Dougie Quick there’s nothing to prove to anyone if you believe in it good if not move along and believe what you want.

Its hindu religion

It's not for the sake of amusement. The demons of lust and desire spawn from Vishnu's ear and Brahma gets Shakti to release her power which keeps Vishnu in deep sleep so that he will awaken and defeat the demons upon which he returns to the state of deep sleep prior to creation.

Just woke up from a dream and this happend. I'm a lucid dreamer sometimes. It really is fascinating

-@@goodrapgod5595 welcome bro, you gettin' woke

nicely phrased

SaithMasu12 but if this is true why do you forget about it

@@locky4067 why do you forget certain dreams you've had through your life

Expect if you go lucid in your dream. (It's called lucid dreaming)

@@locky4067 so we can experience things that we want to experience again, as if it's new to us and the first time we experience a dream.

Since I'm god I ll chose to kiss you in ont next life

Are you alive?

You can't beat a bit of head on a computer game it fells so good!

lol thats such a funny analogy!!! awesome bro! we've all had fun getting 6 wanted stars hahaha!

I’ve always thought of gta as a reality like ours, every system benefits rockstar just like the bankers and government. Oh and our so called reality is a matrix. What you hold in your mind always manifests.

Brilliant analogy.

😂 Love it

I would cry on and off until I am raised to forget that dream

A single dream is more powerful than a thousand realities" im trying to understand but dont get it but hey ....not understanding is key

Glory Paredes ;)

perhaps we have already died, and in that instant have replayed our life. The life you think you are living now. And when this recount gets to the death it flashbacks and starts all over again, and again... Anything is possible. Any idea has as much validity and absurdity as any other. But I'm glad to be here reliving/experiencing life.

What if someday randomly you just die and then nothing happens? What if you die and then be born again in another life? What if you die and then you notice this was just a computer simulation? what if? what if? what if? What if you are just lying to yourself only because you can not find the answer?!

Same here. I'm guessing it's because it is just the truth, but we will never allow ourselves to fully know it. Otherwise the whole thing would be ruined. Just like someone spoiling a movie, or even the actors in the movies being like "well it's just all fake, it's all play; so we might as well stop it". Imagine Russel Crowe doing that during Gladiator, we would have never had the beautiful story. It's all drama and for as long as we're alive, we will be inclined to be involved in it. Maybe, from the moment we die, we will immediately realise how silly and beautiful it all actually is. Like quitting a video game and returning back to you peaceful room, where everything is just fine and there is no danger whatsoever.

Blessings.

Define "dream". I think it is a poor word to use because it made you doubt yourself. Perhaps we are not in fact "dreaming", but rather existing in a never ending cycle of "lives". Basically, there's no difference between a dream and reality. At least we are not able to tell the difference.

like mirrors facing one another

You probably have more connections to people than you realise, hope a year has got you feeling better.

It was quite the revelation.

We live for the small moments. We live to be memories. I two live a weird life ,filled with interesting stuff that I cannot do anything to change or control to have for myself. You will always depend on another's opinion of you. You must instead learn not to be afraid of loneliness. I've fallen in love as many times as I've been refused. But has it ever been really hard ? No, not really. I'm 27 now and afraid that I don't know how what and why do anything next. It's like I've tasted chocolate only once and I crave it until I die. Could I love without it ? Yes . No doubt. But life is so much more interesting when you suffer for everything. You're just clinging on to people. You must find feelings and memories. New dreams. Do you think you know yourself that much to say that you were meant to have a clear path? Would you take it if it was that clear and concise? Wouldn't it be more fun just to take another small step in the wrong way. Just out of curiosity.

rafer Jefferson iii There is no coin with only one side. There's nothing which does not have an end. You're time will come if you know who you are.

Chopra is no "quack". All of his theories are backed by scientific facts. He is merely trying to help open our minds to the limitless potential that exists within us. If you ever actually read any of his work you would know that. None of his work has mislead me into thinking I have super powers. It is a proven fact that meditation can slow the effects of aging, if our minds were conditioned to be used to their full potential instead of being constantly told that we are incapable and that we are so weak and limited. Perhaps we could heal ourselves. Narrow-minded people like you ensure that we never move forward because you put limitations on yourself that don't have to exist. Anything is possible. There are things I read about in his 1993 book about Quantum Healing that scientists are proving true today. Is that 'quackery' to you? Sometimes a little faith and positivity is all it takes to give you that extra edge. Cancer patients with negative attitudes are far less likely to survive than those who stay positive. is that quackery or do you think our outlook may play a small role in our body's effectiveness at healing?

Tyler Robison "Quantum Healing" Yeah if you were to ask any actual scientist about quantum healing they would tell you Chopra has no understanding of quantum physics. In fact look at the video where Leonard Mlodino the actual physicist is talking to Deepak Chopra. Look Deepak Chopra is just a quack that wants to sell his new age views and he tries to put them under the guise of quantum physics so that it sounds scientific and backed up by science but it's not. You're not going to find any physicist agree with the stuff he has to say because it's not anything rooted in reality. I agree that cancer patients are more likely to survive if they stay positive but that doesn't mean that positivity is the cure for cancer. All it shows is that we just shouldn't give up hope if things are looking down. He clearly shows signs of aging and he doesn't seem to be any kind of expert of reversing aging. It's not going to be Deepak Chopra that finds the cure to aging less it's going to be western medicine.

who knows

A truely spiritual person does not namecall another spiritual person. The ego does that.

AirFiveR only a spirtual person talk about the ego

so how do you know this alan if theres only one person dreaming?

starview1 0 = -x + x

indigo child

starview1 what if real life is dreaming? But the only way to dream is to stay alive in this universe. Maybe animals know this already but they can't tell us.

What is your definition of mind in this case? If its our brain then no it does not travel anywhere else we dream. But our consciousness now thats interesting. We are dictated by Our superconscious aka unconscious mind, (I believe it should be called superconscious rather than unconscious because it dictates our lives)

According to Alan Watts, everyone is a god head in the universe, only we don't know it. He's not speaking of the Christian god or anything.

And yet, the notion of a god is a human idea. So to postulate that we are only human beings is counter-intuitive to the notion of a god.

***** It's interesting that we project our human emotions onto God.

***** I know someone who went to Burma for 6 months to become a monk. He has a blog called "fratty monk", if you care to check it out and read his experience becoming an ordained monk. Anyways, he says that the master monks will talk about how the real power is what's right in front of you, staring you in the face. It seemed like colorful and cryptic language until he had a moment while meditating, that lasted for about 10 seconds, where he felt that oneness and bliss. Where he was part of the mountains miles away. I think it's interesting that this is a real phenomenon, recorded by many people, yet it doesn't get any attention. It also begs the thought that this is the existence that these master monks spend most of their time in. What that feels like is impossible for me to imagine.

rgaud8 Check out Robert Monroe and William Buhlman on RU-vid. William Buhlman is a student of Robert Monroe and has 30 years experience in self-initiated Out of Body experiences. He has written three books so far about his experiences. He is now an instructor at The Monroe Institute.

+littleAlex44 Did you end up resigning?

+gcola12 Yes. He also got divorced and pays child support.

Yes please :^)

Hey +neppermint, I was waiting for your update from your Sunday post. Hope all is well. :^)

Mike G Indeed. I responded when I was very drunk. I've been headed down to the bottom for the last 22 years and have decided that it is time to start the ascend. The past is holding me in misery, it is time to start moving forward and up. Your post linked me to this video at a very uncanny moment. I've started to notice over the last two years a lot of synchronicities. I always chalked them up to simple coincidences and ignored them. The more I become aware of my reality the more open I am to the possibility that this world isn't what it appears to be. I am starting to finally see the indoctrination and propaganda in our societies that have generally been misguiding us for the last 5700+ years. I am more inclined to believe that this reality is a deception and or illusion. That is what originally brought me to this video. The only thing I am certain about is my consciousness. Everything else is open to interpretation. I have been taught by my parents and our social structure that if you can see it or science can prove it then it most be real. But if the people who created said science are lying or have twisted the truth due to an all controlling oligarchy then who is to say what is real and what is not? A great deal of our knowledge has been warped. How much do we really know? I know what the ruling class wants me to know. The same goes for my parents. I was a blank slate coming in to this world like everyone else. When I tried to show my true colors society shot me down and imprinted the ruling classes ideals on me. I use to see energy beings as a child. Science deems that impossible while religion deems them demonic or angelic in nature. I say they're life forms. We are kept from developing this skill for one reason or another and eventually most forget how to use said ability. Those life forms have always been on the edge of my consciousness keeping me curious. I can no longer accept that something I was born with is considered evil or none existent. I know what I saw. Those things are very vibrant in my memory. While I was drinking I was losing hope and was about ready to just let it go. And then your post showed up linking to this video. I thank you for bringing me back from the edge. I cannot leave yet, I have to stay here for my family. Even if they are just a reflection of my self. Whether that is true or not I do not know, but it makes more sense to me then a lot of things science tries to indoctrinate you with. Take care Mike; and thank you again. I needed You that night and you delivered.

Mike G If you like we can add each other to the Google+ circle and chat through the hang out option. You won't have to worry about prying eyes, at least not from the average Joe/Jane. Unfortunately the internet was created to weed out trouble makers. We are data mined (spied on) whether it be RU-vid, Yahoo mail, a porn site, Toys R Us or some private website. All our phone calls are monitored as well as spending habits, medical, education, likes and dislikes. They essentially know who we are, what we are and what we like doing along with the patterns of our daily lives. We have RFID or rather tracking chips in our cell phones, credit cards and various other sources. The average 4 way stop light in my home town has 6 cameras. Most stores are layered in cameras and now they are convincing people to install cameras in their own homes. My Uncle did it for his "protection." They are installing smart meters all over the country. These meters have the capacity to monitor and turn on and off equipment in side the house at the push of a couple buttons. You could also script a monitoring computer to do all of this automatically thus cutting the human element out completely. Spending too much time watering? Your water gets shut off and you are fined. Reading something the people in power don't want you to read? Your connection is lost or the television/monitor is shut off. In short Big Brother is quite real. It has slowly been introduced over the years. A lot are either in denial or oblivious to the system. Some accept it and others don't see a way to stop it. This system has been in the works for nearly 6,000 years. The ruling class has been fulfilling Bible prophecy. I cannot tell if Armageddon is being fulfilled through the media or if there will be a limited nuclear exchange in the future. Or perhaps something natural occurs every few thousand years that is predictable but the ruling class has kept it a secret from us in order to control us. It would be like a shaman or elder that knows that angry fire God coming from the heavens is just a falling rock. But his people don't know that so he uses there fear and ignorance against them to further his goals. The United States, Britain, Rome and various other empires are nothing more then tools for the ruling class. They all belong to the same group that has been ruling us for thousands of years. Maybe longer but they stop the history at a certain point so its nigh impossible to figure out. I can't tell if the world is being slowly turned in to a single empire over thousands of years. Or if the earth is already the empire the ruling class desires. Keep us separated by Nations, Races, Religions and a plethora of other methods. The major religions look to all be the same religion. But with enough indoctrination and changing of the scriptures they have convinced the majority that their religions are unique. Thus creating segregation and very dangerous numbers of fanaticals in each group. It is actually an ingenious system to keep the control to a *_very, very, VERY_* small number of people in power.

Serene Spring In Hinduism God sleeps for an eternity before he wakes up and then he plays life for 100 years of Brahma and sleeps again for an eternity but then he wakes up again.

How are you doing rn man

only the One within you can answer that.

Resonation.

Please keep going. Actuality maybe, as cliche as that sounds.

Cosmos Fate you dont know for a fact if its true..everybody has their theories
