    One of the churches biggest lies was telling the people they are separate from God. We are all Divine beings. Great video.

    stuff like this makes me so interested in seeing the evolution of what is considered the bible today. it was eye opening for me as a 20 year old in college when i took a class on the bible in my college and had a baptist minister essentially say the bible is mostly lies and spent the next semester explaining how and why. i wish more christians were capable of this introspection and criticism and doubt and were able to look at those around them and see them for who they really are. Not the enemy, not an abomination, not sinful. Just another person who likely wants the same thing they do. To be loved and to have a connection and to have a life that means something.

    “To have faith is to trust yourself to the water. When you swim you don't grab hold of the water, because if you do you will sink and drown. Instead you relax, and float.” ― Alan Watts
  • I think Alan Watts is my all time favorite person!! He speaks in such a captivating way that is really thought provoking and engaging. I would have loved to meet him but wasn’t born till 79. I think he may have been gone by then but not sure.

    I realize now the god's spark is inside you, and behold your body is the temple. And every man woman and child has the same flame, we are all equal no colour just oneness.
  • @jasonminor5817
    The most intelligent lecture I’ve ever heard, pure genius
  • @NefariousMinds
    "Christianity institutionalized guilt" Man thats is accurate!!
  • @RoyGazoff
    For me it's still hard to find someone who convey the most important messages clearer than Alan Watts did. A powerful son of God.

    I take my problems to God and doors open so I always manage to break through. I still had to do the work, struggle makes you stronger😊
  • @teresab2009
    Watts was so profound. I needed this reminder today. Thank you!
  • @colindeer9657
    So beautifully and clearly explained. I am grateful for being shown this.
  • @mashumichelle
    In my opinion if what this fella is saying is too much of a leap right now in life then begin by practicing the action of acceptance. Put yourself in your shoes and practice more acceptance, compassion will come. ❤ Much love turtle doves ❤🧡💛💚💦💙💜
  • @donvonfilms2937
    The wisdom contained in the Christian Bible is so profound, that I believe it is Divinely inspired. I don't think people could come up with it, because it is so strange and contrary to human nature.
  • @iraj.bolden2937
    Only if he knew how many lives he’s touched and how many eyes have been opened by his teachings!
  • @Al-cg9dq
    Amen! Jesus was never a god that came down to save us, but simply to tell us who we really are! God incarnate through us!
  • @marioeid930
    This makes the most sense, I did a high dose of shrooms 5 g plus, and I remember distictly feeling this and that we are all eternal. I also dont understand why people go from bible thumpers to athiest. The real truth is we dont know. At the end of the day, it's a belief based on your experiences
  • Man oh man aren't we all so blessed to be surrounded by so many people that offer us their version of truth.
  • @d.sfilms7677
    Alan Watts truly knew so much. Far more educational than stuff i learned in school
