Alan Watts - They Don't Tell You This When You Are Born...

In this lecture, Alan Watts explores 'what there is', providing insights into how we perceive ourselves as a mere 'fluke' of nature and why our attempts to control lead to destruction. He delves into the reasons behind our perception and interpretation of ourselves and discusses potential paths to find peace amidst our desires for control. 0:00 - What there is 01:44 - A myth is an image 03:55 - Two models of the universe 13:57 - What is the fundamental substance of the world? 18:10 - Fully automatic 22:36 - Blind energy 26:00 - You are a symptom of nature 29:40 - Billions of years ago you was a big bang 34:34 - The ocean waves 38:33 - Five serious philosophical questions 41:04 - Two kinds of philosophy 45:00 - Let's Get This Clear Music Featured: James Horner - Casper's Lullaby (Original Soundscore) Nare - All Or Nothing (Original Mix) Hans Zimmer - We Are Free (Original Soundscore) Exist Strategy - Reverence (Original Mix) Borrtex - Changing (Original Mix) Cyprinid - Floating (Original Mix) AnnN - Rain Sends Flowers (Original Mix) Zyphyr - Beyond ft.
