Alan Watts on Life After Death

I played this for my mother when she was dying ❤️🙏🏽❤️ My mother checked out fearless.

"Life has no opposite. The opposite of death is birth. Life is eternal."

🤔😉😊 I have cancer and my momma and daddy are gone now and I have lost many people and friends that I loved 😍 so much ❤️ but 🤔 I'm understanding from Allen Watts that it's all good 💯

I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it. (Mark Twain)

I have no fear of death, but in fear of leaving my loved ones behind

I don't fear death. I fear dying.

Maybe I was actually listening for once. Wow! There are too many clever word mongers out there, but this was so steady and coherent. We don't really understand until it all sinks in. It takes a while for the words to settle and have meaning. By the time it all ended, I was listening, not just hearing. It was more of a feeling than an abstraction. Now I begin to understand how well he communicated that which is very hard to express. The religion & monarchy section was excellent.

【Shades Finnish Pirates】Magnificent! I as a christian think the same way, i am so happy that my younger brother suggested mindfulness and especially Alan Watts to me

Mr. Watts was such a sincere man and so clear in his explanations of subjects. A wonderful human ❤

I was “watching” my tonsillectomy as 6 y/o from over the table. I also saw iridescent curtains of colored light all around me. They were flowing as though they were alive with colors. Then I came “back.” This was in 1948. I had NO idea what this was about, but I WANTED TO GO BACK! Years later as an adult, I got lost at sea off the coast of HAWAII in a scuba accident. All alone. Nothing but swells and sky. No land. Just sun and ocean. I swam around for two hours. I heard a “voice” in my mind to use my scuba mask as a reflector to catch the sun. It was my first dive. I had no idea. I was not frightened or terrified. I couldn’t understand why not. It should have been the most terrifying moment of my life. I was expecting to die by lack of water and exhaustion in about 24 hours. Probably by drowning. I am a surgeon. I had no “illusions.” It is almost impossible to be found at sea. One’s chances are less than 10%. The only reason why I was not terrified was because I was already dead from an ether overdose during my tonsillectomy, and severe hypoxia. I already had cancer. I was not afraid of death then either. Or now. Fear of death provides an important defense mechanism. But after one has already been dead, enough to have an OBE, one loses fear. I don’t think religion has anything to do with it. Except that the “voice” I heard was most likely supernatural. Otherwise I never would have been found.

🌟 What a thought-provoking discussion on the intricate dance between life and death! The speaker's insights about consciousness and the dual nature of existence really got me reflecting. Life truly is a fascinating rhythm of 'on' and 'off' moments, and it's a perspective shift that opens up new possibilities.

Words are amazing and devastating the way they are used is the the choice of the user ❤

Always love when I hear new speeches of Alan Watts. But I always learn something new whenever I re watch his older videos

Alan Watts was one of the greatest philosophers and thinkers I've come across. His talks have helped me more than anything I've heard throughout my life.

Some die thinking that they have never lived, some live thinking that they will never die. A person's worth is measured by the worth of what they value. One will always die, it's living that takes real courage.

I think this is one of the first bits I heard of Alan Watts. I can hear these things over and over and never get bored of them and usually can get something new out of it.

Enjoy every day of your life and dont fear the death that is coming you can make each day joyful no matter your circumstances alway stay positive and be thankful you had a chance to experience life as death is definite

Thanks Alan Watts for your perspective of our existence connection within this vast space. And Living on this speck of land has its challenges.

Wonderful.
