Alan Watts talk ‘Not What Should Be But What Is’
In this talk, Alan presents how true meditation comes from letting go of the idea that you control your thoughts. When your thoughts quiet on their own, you experience a deeper reality where there’s no separation between yourself and the universe. This “eternal now” is where true creation happens, and it allows you to take responsibility for your present experience without blaming the past.
“See, reality isn’t material. That’s an idea. Reality isn’t spiritual. That’s an idea. Reality is [clap.] So we find that we live in an eternal now. You’ve got all the time in the world because you’ve got all the time there is, which is now. And you are this universe. And you feel this strange feeling. When ideas don’t define the differences, you feel that other people’s doings or your doings. And that makes it very difficult to blame other people.“

“Perhaps the foremost interpreter of Eastern disciplines for the contemporary West, Alan Watts had the rare gift of ‘writing beautifully the un-writable’. Watts begins with scholarship and intellect and proceeds with art and eloquence to the frontiers of the spirit. A fascinating entry into the deepest ways of knowing.” — Los Angeles Times
