The whole world is: Three for a penny Three for a pound ’Tis love that makes the world go ’round
A certain amount of ordinary laziness would lend our culture the pleasant mellowness which it singularly lacks.
Listen to your interior thoughts as you listen to the singing of a kettle.
We have somehow conned ourselves into the notion that this moment is ordinary.
Yang means the positive, and yin, the negative. Yang is identified with the south or sunny side of a mountain; yin, with the north or shady side. And note, this moment, that you cannot have a one-sided mountain.
Intelligence is a function of the degree to which you realize that your behavior is one with the behavior of the rest of the world.
The cry, “Back to Nature!” used to be derided as unrealistic sentimentality, but I am wondering if it is not becoming an urgent necessity.
When you have accepted your own death in the midst of life, it means that you’ve let go of yourself, and you are therefore free. You are not any longer plagued by worry and anxiety. You know that you’re done for anyhow. So there’s no need constantly to fight to protect…
A life full of goals or end-points is like trying to abate one’s hunger by eating merely the two precise ends of a banana.
There will always be “I”s in the world. Every “I” is, in a way, the same “I.” We all might be anyone else. And there is no escape. It goes on and on and on and on. So long as there is consciousness anywhere, there is “I.” You, then, in a way, look out through all “I”s. And that,…
All society depends on our trusting each other. Now, we’re all untrustworthy. But there is no alternative than trusting each other, even though our trust may be misplaced. We must make that gamble. Because the only alternative to trusting each other is a police state—and who…
When I see a man getting ready to put the world in order, I know there will be great trouble.
The moment has arrived when a really thoroughgoing spiritual materialism is the intelligent and essential attitude for the management of technology, and for helping mankind to be something better than the most predatory monster yet evolved.
The repetitious games of children go on and on because time has been forgotten and has reduced itself to a single wondrous instant.
This sensation of being a separate “I” cut off from all other “I”s is an illusion. It’s a pure hallucination, because that is not the way we are functioning physically. We are functioning physically not as separate entities, but as beings that live in such a close relationship…
A person who has died to himself doesn’t take himself seriously any longer. He has a sense of life—as we say in our own slang—not being any longer a drag. He’s not in conflict with himself. He has already, as it were, given himself up to death.
The Zen way of teaching teaches one to see that you cannot be in complete control of your whole life situation. You cannot, in other words, fundamentally possess yourself.
You have to adjust to facts: you can’t have a nation, you can’t have a society, in which everyone is always occupied in intellectual and computational pursuits. A few people have to be around who know how to handle the material world in a gracious way. And for these people we…

@lexfridman This post makes me sad @AlanWattsDaily isn’t alive anymore to share with us his wisdom on the meaning of life, what is this all about, Maya, and the fact that YOU’RE IT!
The only time I can be present is in nature..the day to day grind & struggle is not something to be present for so yes I resist.
Hurrying and delaying are alike ways of trying to resist the present.
@AlanWattsDaily Like you’ve said “ stop trying to get it and you’ll have it”
@AlanWattsDaily I was in a Sonic Youth concert. Lee Ranaldo left his guitar producing feedback noise on the stage after the last song. I sat there while it slowly faded away, mixing with the ambient noise. You couldn’t say when that ended. In my mind the concert is still going on.
@AlanWattsDaily Alan Watts…. always said it best.
@AlanWattsDaily Thanks for calling me out in front of everyone
to anyone else who needs this, like I do
You must remember that the secret to all this is not to be afraid of fear. When you can really allow yourself to be afraid and you don’t resist the experience of fear, you are truly beginning to master fear. But when you refuse to be afraid, you are resisting fear, and that…
“In the course of nature, once we have ceased to see magic in the world anymore, we’re no longer fulfilling nature’s game of being aware of itself. There’s no point in it anymore. So we die. And so something else comes to birth which gets an entirely new view.” - @AlanWattsDaily
All that you see out in front of you is how you feel inside your head.
@AlanWattsDaily You can't forget the final part that there's nothing we can do to stop it. So you might as well let go. Alan Watts has had a profound impact on my paradigm and understanding of this world and the next.
@AlanWattsDaily This perspective helped me realize that the best day of our life is each and every one of them, but what makes some memorable is how we chose to use them.
@ChikuChill I use this metaphor with a lot of my clients. Thank you Alan for being you! And thank you @ChikuChill for sharing. 🙏 @AlanWattsDaily
Of course, you can’t force your mind to be silent. That would be like trying to smooth ripples in water with a flatiron. Water becomes clear and calm only when left alone. - Alan Watts
@AlanWattsDaily I heard it said that the limits of our language create the limits of our world.
@AlanWattsDaily There are two main human sins from which all the others derive: impatience and indolence. - F. Kafka
I came across Alan Watts video once. It changed my life.
The secret is that “other” eventually turns out to be you. I mean, that’s the element of surprise in life: when suddenly you find the thing most alien. We say now: what is most alien to us? Go out at night and look at the stars, and realize that they are millions and millions and…
@MsMelChen Alan Watts talks about this in the taboo against knowing yourself books/lectures. @AlanWattsDaily “You are the totality…the whole universe incarnate…not the hallucination of the atomized, skin-encapsulated ego - the greatest myth spread by Western culture.”…
@AlanWattsDaily @will_from_mars_ 💗💗💗 At first I didn't get it, then I translated it into German, that helped ;), and now: WOW! That's beautiful!!
