“All religion, all religious comments about life, eventually become cliches. That’s why religion always is falling apart and becoming a certain kind of going through the motions, a kind of imitation of attitudes.” – Alan Watts

When we are all dead we take up the same amount of space in the dirt regardless of how rich we are or how how intelligent we thing we are we all end up dead so it is only the values that influenced and or encouraged others that continues even then for a short period ….
You don’t avoid the trap you embrace it

All we have today are charlatans who want to sell you something. Sick
Not 1 ad…so refreshing. Thank you. This is pure wisdom. Made my day. Blessings 🙏
Back in the Day people seemed a lot more Intelligent than People Today and We actually had Leaders. Now it seems this World is lost with no direction. My Best answer to all of this is Seek God because He is waiting… 🙏

This is an honor to listen to your father speak. Very wise and awakened man. I never knew him, but strangly i miss him. Rest Alan, you have earned it.

That happiness fallacy was silly. Any ethnomusicological lucid being knows and relates with the song of life. That’s ethnomusicology of environment. Where does environment begin, and end? Hint… it doesn’t.
You die whether you're religious or not, you are just dead.
He has no idea what atheism is

Bingo !
Impartiality as freedom from conflict does not exclude subsequent evaluation, conclusion, hypothesis, experiment, peer review. Impartiality is objective observation not inanimate mirror mind.
Alan’s words always feel like a mirror to the soul — stripping away illusions until all that’s left is the truth you’ve been avoiding.
The entire Democratic Party needs to adopt this right now.
No more weak leaders. No more super academic snobs. No more appeasers. No more cowardice. No more. Jeffries, Schumer, and anyone not ready to get into a bare knuckle brawl every fkg day, every week, every year needs to shut up and support people who can fight.
I am the reincarnation of Alan Watts.
as an atheist myself, i absolutely agree with 11:00 here. i have no doubt there are psychological reasons for my agnosticism beyond what i feel are good reasons (i.e. there is just no good proof of a god). hell yeah thanks ally wattson!
I was a christian, pushing me on others. Then, I was an atheist, pushing myself on others. 😂

I'm really struck by Alan's visions for the future….they are particularly compelling given what we know in 2025 and he doesn't. His wonderful idea that there will be no need for government because man will behave towards other men appropriately, and humanely. I mean, we're headed in the opposite direction, but for those of us who understand this teaching, it's quite alright.
this duality is reflected in our brain’s bi-hemisphericity: the left hemisphere attends to specificity, the right to generality, according to Ian McGilchrist.
🙏
Getting super enlightened is actually very easy! Just avoid duality at all costs 😂
Non a Buddha fan, but he sucked, bigtime.
