The False Idea of Who You Are - Alan Watts

"Is it I, Ahab, God, or who that lifts this arm and thinks these thoughts?"

these videos will never reach the humans that need them!

I think were all trying to subconsciously look for a way to NOT be mortal.

Thank you for creating this video. ❤

"You have no choice but to be different than you were five minutes ago" The Ryan's 😮

I want to translate this video to Russian. Hows that possible nowadays?

Brothers and Sisters, God loves us so much that He sent His Son Jesus Christ for us, who, bled and died on a cross for us to redeem us from death, to gain life everlasting, for those who put their trust in him. And what's more, he has risen, and is willing to call you to repentance (correction) and as his witness, by his grace indeed. "For it is by grace you have been saved". Jesus loves you, God cares for you!

Thank you After Skool for your time and effort
Your videos are THE BEST

Honestly the world really isn’t ok right now though…globally things are in decline economically and we are hurtling towards WW3

I’m stunned.

I dont know who you think you are, but I always keep it real.

I know who I am. I have no idea who you are.

I saw that once.

It is the truth❤

I wish for my breathe to cease it's involuntary

I so love ❤ this channel
Thank You

Such profound teachings. Thank you for uploading these videos for humanity. May you be happy ❤

Alan Watts. Truly a wise man.

I rlly wanna destroy my ego.... I acknowlege that everything is one but my ego ALWAYS go and separates it...... I hate it

I been up all night 🌙 watching these after skool videos even at the bar and the after party just got home and Damm I have not felt this peaceful in a long time .. thank you and blessings to every single person in this lifetime..

💊 We often differentiate between actions we control and what happens to us.
💊 The distinction between voluntary and involuntary actions is arbitrary.

💊 Activities like breathing or heartbeating blur the line between being voluntary and involuntary.
💊 Our definition of 'self' is limited, not accounting for processes like digestion or blood circulation.

💊 When one realizes their full self, they recognize their unity with the universe.
💊 The "involuntary" circulation of blood is intertwined with cosmic processes like the sun shining.

💊 Our bodies are connected to the total energy system of the cosmos.
💊 We play a game, pretending we're only a small part of the universe.

💊 From a scientific perspective, our bodies are a continuous energy with the universe.
💊 The ego is simply the focus of conscious attention, like a radar.

💊 Identifying with the ego leads to a perpetual state of anxiety.
💊 Recognizing ourselves as the whole organism reveals the harmony in our existence.

💊 What seems like discord at one level can be harmony at another.
💊 The world and our existence in it is fundamentally harmonious.

💊 Awakening from the illusion of separateness, one feels integrated with the world.
💊 At our core, we are the fabric and structure of existence.

💊 Everyone is the ultimate reality, not in a regal sense but as the very essence of existence.
💊 We all embody the basic structure of existence but often pretend otherwise.

Damn, this is the most pessimistic and closed minded way of 'thinking' i have ever seen. what a let down

We are guided however having 2 nature's one will get in the way . The who . The what is you a subject

This is the first time I've listened to Alan Watts. As a newfound spiritualist, his words moved me. I've never heard of someone putting the words I don't have so beautifully.

Mesmerizing and so Profound! Incredible explainer artwork too!!!

🖤💜❤️💙💚🧡🤍🤎💛

I approached this video skeptically. But Alan Watts did it again! I still believe in God. That's just an upper-level.😅

The first time I ever did psilocybin mushrooms 1 of 2 times in my life at this point.
Anyway when I took them it was probably not even 1/2 gram. I was getting an underwater/echoing vibe being outside so I went inside and ended up going to sleep but in this dream it wasnt me I was looking at me but 2 versions one was my body asleep and the other looked like as if you were in an arcade cabinet looking at someone controlling the cabinet but everytime I tried to look at the face it was blury or like dirty suranwrap. Anyway after waling around in the "dream world" for a little bit I couldn't remember the rest of my dream next thing I know it was me waking up the next day.

This video has given me so much perspective. Thank you for the work you do.

I am strong, powerful, loving, caring, peaceful, happy and harmonious.

“Waking up to who you truly are, requires letting go, of who you believe yourself to be…”

“If I am my foot, I am the sun” but then I’ve heard that we aren’t our bodies we are just the awareness behind them eee! what is going on like I don’t remember asking to be born but here I am in this wild world

Someone once brought up to me the question how much accountability a person holds in relation with another's interpretation of what the first person has written

What a load of superstitious nonsense.
This is the sort of thing that helps to con millions into thinking they can manifest anything they want just by thinking of it and then buying nonsense such as crystals, auras, structured water and many other pseudo-scientific mumbo jumbo.

yikes…

such a good reminder

Alan Watts is usually pretty good about his philosophical ideas, but this particular argument is founded on so many logical fallacies that I can't take it seriously.

He is talking about Ultra Instinct.

“In other words, when you really start to see things, and you look at an old paper cup, and you go into the nature of what it is to see what vision is, or what smell is, or what touch is, you realize that that vision of the paper cup is the brilliant light of the cosmos. Nothing could be brighter. 10,000 suns couldn’t be brighter.” - Alan Watts

Absolutely fascinating!
