Alan Watts - Concept of Ourself

He said tellyvision screen lol

I think you cut too much

he's hamdsome

Ego seems to be part of our “dark side” Ego gets triggered or fed, but otherwise it doesn’t serve!

It's the mannerism that is natural and a show of stress in the world.

Interesting.

I've listened to many hours of his lectures,very enlightening,took me months to finally realize to let go and chill out,ram dass is very good as well,I have gone back and forth between these guys.

My boy Alan dissing my anime hearing and seeing abilities.

What's he drinking, mashroom ale!?

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤yes yes Amen yes Amen yes Amen yes Amen yes Amen yes Amen

so we just pretend the ego is there , just a construct for the sake of .. idk ourselves or the sake of having an ego just because .. but its all pretend , right ?

I dont get it :(

A relaxed you is the best you

I’ve gone above and beyond deep for this at this point I’m a para being 963

Negative emotions can distort our perception, causing us to act unconsciously and miss the necessary actions for desired outcomes. By acknowledging and releasing these emotions, we gain clearer thinking and empower ourselves to pursue greatness through purposeful actions.

There's a app for this. Wow they really do have apps for everything lol

The way he drank out that cup was majestic

Got it

Never seen footage of him before, only audio recordings. Never would’ve guessed how drippy this man was 😂💧 what a powerful presence he has

What a legend!

Good insight

Happy new year 🎉

What does alan means by hearing and seeing clearly? What is the solution because sometimes i try to hear very hard but i dont know if this is the right way to hear clearly

Te amo un chingo Alan Watts

Nosce te ipsum.

That Man! ❤❤❤❤

Ego is a way of understanding self by personalizing self , by choosing what you really wanna “watch on tv” 4 example but still it doesn’t exist cause all that there is self

In both cases it means concentrate, not to try to make your ears or eyes work harder.

Yep... that's might be the Optic Nerves and the Ear Muscles over reacting...

Focusing brother ❤

The irony that i listen to his messages to better my life and quite drinking or smoking. And he died from alcoholism. He and his wife both.

This looks AI

Great proofs. Love, Greg

drip

This is very deep

This man is literally my favorite human being ever! His perspective on reality and the way he explains things just cut right through to my soul! ❤❤❤❤

I always use to listen to him I can totally relate to everything he says, unlike anything else .

I remember that his last book was with me in my youth years and read it over and over again in times of discomfort. Having the chance to see him now is amazing ❤

It’s a byproduct of evolving from animals with better ears that had muscles that could point their ears at things etc

I did not understand what conclusion i have to make... Like he wanted to say something more?

When ego is gone...life begins

I really want to understand what he is saying. But I don't.

In order to live a life without ego and prejudice, you have to live a life go with flow. means negating everything your thoughts and ego and everything and listening the others. Then you will see your ego will vanish.

Not interested in being "enlightened" by a philandering Calfornia drunk.

I wish I would have been around to meet Alan. Incredibly intelligent man.

Beautiful

This is profound. The effort to apprehend reality causes a “tightening” of the perceptual filtering structures responsible for decoding sensory information; personality is merely a byproduct of that tightening? Incredible and terrifying. ❤
