The Dream of Life by Alan Watts~

Wonderful speech from the late great Alan Watts… 4 minutes, mind-expanding, enjoy.
“If you awaken from this illusion….you can feel yourself not as a stranger in this world, not as something here on probation…”

  1. Wow it is really daring to make whatever we wish and make it true in our daily life. One gets kind of lazy I suppose and then dreams just stay like dreams! If we could follow our dreams we would make even the impossible things!

  2. Thank you for sharing with us these beautifully insightful videos to regain consciousness.

  4. R.D.Laing said that ..in the centre of a person is nothing..with something in it. or..I would say…its not a something and its not a nothing…but something else. Language seems not equipped to deal with describing an ultimate reality or godhood. i think of this existence or this dream in the way of a metaphor. ..so the ultimate reality…or god…is a blank canvas… and all existence may be painted upon this canvas…and what appears on the canvas can change…and there can be areas where there is nothing and areas where there is something…but whatever is on the canvas is not actually the canvas itself.
    The canvas is the ultimate reality and it is everywhere… and what we see is a picture that is always changing and includes things like ‘something’ and ‘nothing’.
