Hello everyone, A few months ago, I watched an amazing talk by Alan Watts, but I can't seem to find it again. In this speech, he dives into reality and consciousness, creating a captivating story about our endless desire for things to feel more real. He starts with the radio, pointing out how it wasn’t enough for us.

He did speak a lot about tartare sauce. Doubt it. Watts seemed to avoid 'the fringe'. Even his theological expositions wouldn't really delve into any sort of complicated metaphysics. In fact, in A Lecture on Zen, Watts noted that there was a time when Chinese Zen got "sidetracked" with the occult and esoteric or tantric.
Alan isn't saying that life is a joke and we shouldn't take it "seriously" in the sense that we should ignore suffering, do nothing to help others, retreat from the world, etc. He is saying not to take *your* life so seriously that it stops you from living *your* life to the fullest. For example, you are clearly concerned with the state of the ...

10 de out. de 2022 · Big fan of both. Alan has several quips about him in autobiography, it seems they first met around early 50s in the UK when they were both in town. They met at least 2other times and Watts spoke to JK in Ojai in '53. I would love to have been a fly on the wall but I haven't been able to find out much more.

Less than 20 pages, but written in his last year and incredibly concise. My second choice for a first book would be The Book: the taboo against knowing who you are.
19 de abr. de 2023 · In case you are looking for a speaker that would be somehow "like" Alan Watts, you can just forget it. The man is unique, his approach is unique, his style is unique and thus, the experience of listening to him or reading his books is just unique. What blows my mind most about Alan Watts is his extraordinary ability to make you forget that you ...
2 de ago. de 2022 · I mean its Alan Watts, classic rascal and enjoyer of worldly pleasures. In the houseboat summit he actually says you shouldn't stay high all the time, its a pretty interesting quote that surprised me. He says if your high all the time you don't really get the same thing out of it.
People usually attack things they don’t understand, or that threaten their idea of reality. Thing is, most of what Alan says isn’t “attack-able”. Most of it is so simple and unbiased that you can’t argue against it, because he’s not making an argument. You can’t argue with one person. That makes people feel threatened.
