Zen Philosophical Perspective: Must Listen Contemplation  

Here is a brilliant Life and Death philosophy by Alan Watts! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ERtrWXlsYX4.html

I'm so grateful to everyone who posts these Alan Watts lectures. They keep getting taken down, but someone else always uploads them again. Thanks man ✌️

The best lesson I ever learned from Alan Watts was that you don't need to sit quietly in order to meditate. Children were sent to the monastery to learn, and all children in every school everywhere are always told to "sit down and shut up." That's where the sitting idea of meditation came from. It was a way of controlling school children who didn't want to be there, and whose behaviour was disturbing the monks' meditation. So we told the children that meditation required "sit down and shut up."

In a different garb, selling the same philosophy as propounded by Indian sages thousands of years ago. It easier to listen to, taking flight into the imagination then actually setting out on a journey because...the end isn't something that we desire. To be free to be dead, dead to the identity, to culture, to the delicious memories of eating flesh and sex, all my various and variegated achievements, all need to go. Who wanna do that? Any volunteer? No!! Even if you wish to die is again a desire to be dead. Death will choose you, then life will begin in you. So far now, we are just increasing and enhancing the volume of consciousness, the consciousness you think is yours, locked up in your braincells as your private experiences but it's not so. It's shared by each one of us. Could waves ever be held separated? Through the gap of our fingers it slips and merges into the other. We are incredibly disturbing creatures.

Goes around in circles If you're not in the club then you will never know the "truth"

Thank you Alan. 🙏🤍🙏

Happy 51 Wats
