The Real You – Alan Watts
“When you’re ready to wake up, you’re going to wake up, and if you’re not ready you’re going to stay pretending that you’re just a ‘poor little me.’ And since you’re all here and engaged in this sort of inquiry and listening to this sort of lecture, I assume you’re all in the process of waking up. Or else you’re teasing yourselves with some kind of flirtation with waking up which you’re not serious about. But I assume that maybe you are not serious, but sincere – that you are ready to wake up.
So then, when you’re in the way of waking up, and finding out who you really are, what you do is what the whole universe is doing at the place you call here and now. You are something that the whole universe is doing in the same way that a wave is something that the whole ocean is doing… The real you is not a puppet which life pushes around; the real, deep down you is the whole universe.” – Alan Watts

It is what it is. It is not conditioned, it is not sentimental, it is not solely rational. It is not any thing. Ten million pictures, and still we are not painting with the best brush. There may be Zen in computing, but there is no computing Zen. I wake up to waking up to waking up. Words escape me, yet I am compelled to try and capture some that will work. I could use a dose of the Old Masters’ medicine— such fierce kindness. Watts gave me my first clue long ago, and I thank him. Rinzai led me beyond description, and I am speechless. Katsu!
I am He as you are He as you are me and we are all together!
Love you Zen!
Brilliant, thank you. Nature does indeed abhor a vacuum and that is why there is change, very big change, no longer “soon”, but happening now. How do I know? Because Nature abhors a vacuum! Love, A.
This man knows of what he speaks. Wisdom at it’s finest!
Nice words, Alan.
Of course.
Pity about the silly and REALLY annoying “musical” track, which increased in volume as the piece went on, behind said words.
What’s it for….
To give a sense of wonder or something….
Just the words, with their vibration will do.
I get the message in this post ,but I gave up on Watt about 2 years ago , Never added up that this dude chum with such devious fuckers like Dr. Oscar Janiger. Keith Ditman, Sterling Bunnell, and Michael Agron, He claims that Oscar gave him mescaline with with various research teams . Just a gut feeling but just get a bad Vibe from Watt. There is this little voice in my head when I read his work or watch his Vids saying Shill alert !
@peek crackers: Are you sure you mean Alan WattS, though you refer to Watt? Two difference dudes, my friend, the former having died many years ago now. So good to hear his voice across the chasm of his departure and our current living. Peace.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Watts http://www.maps.org/news-letters/v09n1/09105jan.html , I will let you dig the rest up from there , you will see the tie in with Werner Erhard a disciple of Alan Watts while developing the New Age EST program that is part and parcel of Tolle’s overall program. Erhard got the “Get It” from Watts. Watts got the “Get It” directly from the racialist population control master plans of CIA/MK ULTRA- Godfathers. Dr. Aldous Huxley. Dr. Gregory Bateson Aleister Crowley . You might find this interesting also http://mindcontrolblackassassins.com/2010/04/05/precious-deception-the-road-back-to-nazi-spiritual-science-and-mk-ultra/ Make of it what you will I just seen to many dot contentions for my liking . Peace to you sir .
Oh and sorry Alan Donelson, i seen where you might have been confused with me not adding “s” on the end of watt”s” But for the record I really think both lived or live in shill-vill
Werner Erhard, Hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, All Good Stuff and Great Reads On The Posts, Thank You
