Do You Want The Truth? Alan Watts On Religion

"I searched for God and found only myself. I searched for myself and found only God." (Rumi)

I could listen to Allen all day,

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.

this channel continues to fill me with wonder. i cry every single time i watch this video.

"Christianity institutionalized guilt" Man thats is accurate!!

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.

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.

“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

The most intelligent lecture I’ve ever heard, pure genius

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.

Watts was so profound. I needed this reminder today. Thank you!

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😊

So beautifully and clearly explained. I am grateful for being shown this.

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!

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

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 ❤🧡💛💚💦💙💜

Only if he knew how many lives he’s touched and how many eyes have been opened by his teachings!

"Christianity institutionalized guilt as a virtue." This hit home. You are constantly feeling guilty of your sins and sinful thoughts. You constantly feel judged by God. It's maddening. Like Dr. Watts, I believe in a universal force (God), but I don't believe anyone is aware of its true identity.

Man oh man aren't we all so blessed to be surrounded by so many people that offer us their version of truth.
