    This can’t be real. Just relax don’t take it so serious and please, feel free to do whatever you want while you’re here, just enjoy yourself as much as possible. Covid was the best thing to ever happen to me. 2020. Born in 88. Feeling LIT right now!!! ❤❤❤❤

    I love the wisdom of Alan Watts. He taught humanity so very much to help guide us on this earthly journey. We need more souls like him on this earth. It is a blessing we have Tolle now to help us. RIP Alan

    Fantastic thing about Watts' speeches is they are so logical and clearly spoken, that even non native english speaker (like me) can understand them.

    The idea that the Indian Guru is not manifesting his temper because he wanna teach how he can be real himself is so inspirational. I tried to become someone else who I looked up to and more perfect than me. But eventuality I noticed that this approach potentially ignores the needs of other people in my situation.

    This is what is meant symbolically in the Bible saying they ate from the tree of knowledge… The distinction of good and evil, right and wrong like and dislike. Thank you.

    I realized from this speech that, I make a lot of plans even to be out of suffering 😂😂… I guess I found my Zen moment 😍😎
  • One may always be desiring, but if the things desired help other people, it's a win. I would argue that one can pray for Devine grace to help channel desire into a positive thing.
  • This guy is the only guy in the world that understood life, imo. Everyone else is wasting their time, especially politicians. "You have to accept unacceptance, as well". Genius. I have to get a copy of this lecture and listen to it over and over because there's so much in it...
  • @PC-gc6ck
    If one listened to only one of his pieces, this would be it.

    "...and the vision that was planted in my brain still remains ... Within the sound ... Of silence..." Your edits are glorious. 🕐 🎶
  • I love that it repeats… “like a trap” at the end…. 😂😂😂 it’s a trap!! 😊🎉😂❤
