“Perhaps the foremost interpreter of Eastern disciplines for the contemporary West, Alan Watts had the rare gift of ‘writing beautifully the un-writable’. Watts begins with scholarship and intellect and proceeds with art and eloquence to the frontiers of the spirit. A fascinating entry into the deepest ways of knowing.” — Los Angeles Times

I'm of the opinion that Alan Watts was one of the most brilliant minds to ever live. Being able to listen to his speeches like this many years after he has passed is one of the great privileges of modern technology.

Boy don't I wish Alan Watts was around today even though it was about 50 years ago this message is timeless and relevant always. He has a calm reassuring and logical way to him.

I feel weird to be so moved by Watts. Nobody around me understands and I am incapable of explaining. So I do it alone. Anyone else?

I've listened to just about all of Alan's lectures on YouTube, multiple times over. It never gets old. This, however, is probably the best lecture that synthesizes his teachings in layman's terms. It's the perfect talk to introduce Watt's philosophy to first time listeners. He has a way to touch your soul like none other. So well spoken; he can take the complex and simplify it for what life actually is. Just amazing. His life will always live on with these recordings. I just wish more people heard his message. Love to all ❤

Alan Watts very cleverly picks up where Nietzsche left off, showing the West a potential path forward that N himself could not find to even his own satisfaction. Watts draws from Eastern philosophy to help fill in the holes in Western angst, and he does it in a very charismatic, entertaining, and non-preachy way. There's no sales pitch, no sky-high promises of self-improvement, just an outstretched hand offering to show us alternatives to how we were raised to think.

I loved listening to Alan Watts on the radio when I was a boy in the nineteen sixties. I'm happy to hear him again 🤠.

I grew up listening to Alan watts, he's probably the closest to what I viewed as a father figure ngl. I would say man saved me from darkness.

Mind blowing, he merges eastern philosophy and modern physics to paint perspectives of reality that are both more real and poetic than anything I have ever heard before Edit: furthermore he is a master at the lost art of analogy, in my mind the greatest tool for teaching understanding.

Only if my fellow brothers and sisters would give this a listen and a chance. Great thinker and non thinker. 🙏

Ive listened to so much of Alan Watts, but this one made me cry at the end for some reason. Not frustrated, or sad. Just some feeling in the center of my being making its way out through tears. Im not sure I have ever been moved so much by a speech as this one.

He was way ahead of his generation. Way ahead of all of us even today. He is my guru. ❤

Ive listened to Alan Watt's for 10 years this year. And im very very grateful for this mans life and wisdom. Whatever our belief systems, this man has touched the soul's of so many people. His respect and perspective for life and understanding is so magnificently helpful to survive this busy chaotic life. I truly wish i alive when he was, to sit, listen, and just be.

He is absolutely brilliant! His wisdom sets me free - I find comfort and stillness by grasping his perception of reality - what is .... the universal dance.

wait... "as to the catastrophic fact that you were born... well you had nothing to do with THAT! And you can spend all your life blaming your parents for putting you in a situation where you now find yourself".... Finally a talk directed straight to me :D
