There is something so exquisitely sublime about Alan's voice. And coupled with the most entertaining and scholarly way he articulates concepts and truths, he is a delight to listen to.
A man of a bygone era - a more genteel, simple, and in some ways superior age. Alan represents something quintessentially English, but without the stuffiness. I wish I had someone like him as a friend. He is a rare breed. One of a kind really.

Japanese is not my first language, but I studied it for some years and lived with a Japanese roommate in college. I had an experience one day where all the corners of my mind were talking to each other, and on contemplating the idea of awakening or the 'point' of meditation or being here now. I was having an internal experience; I was in a different incarnation, as a person who was born and lived in Japan my whole life, waiting for the train to arrive for my commute to school or work. The impression of a bird flew across my vision, and very absent-mindedly, I said to myself out loud' saaa, tori.' In Japanese, âăăă鳼â means 'hmmm, a bird'. I pondered on it for a moment and started to laugh pretty hysterically. Now, any time I see a bird, I have a little echo of that moment, and I smile.

Alan Watts has a remarkable knack for unraveling complex philosophical concepts and making them relatable to everyday life. In this talk, he beautifully explores the depths of Zen and the wisdom contained within "The Gateless Gate." His explanations of satori, that moment of enlightenment and profound awakening, are truly captivating. I highly recommend this video to anyone seeking inner peace and a deeper understanding of the profound teachings of Zen. Watts' unique perspective will leave you feeling inspired and ready to embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery.

I have had one out of body experience. I had been meditating for weeks. I tried to meditate for at least an hour at a time. Suddenly I lost all the heaviness of life. There was a lightness and.joy that flooded me. Everything became humorous. There was no seriousness. I felt completely free.
It only lasted for a flash but I had a taste of transcendence.
