Please give a brief descriptive of the video so that we, the reader, can decide if we want to listen to it or not (not everybody knows who Allan Watt is or want to listen to all of his topics). Otherwise most of us will pass, too many videos around to listen to.

Often, the descriptive is found with the video, so just copy it, it is often enough for us, the reader, to decide.


Alan Watts (1915-1973) who held both a master's degree in theology and a doctorate of divinity, is best known as an interpreter of Zen Buddhism in particular, and Indian and Chinese philosophy in general. He authored more than 20 excellent books on the philosophy and psychology of religion, and lectured extensively, leaving behind a vast audio archive. With characteristic lucidity and humor Watts unravels the most obscure ontological and epistemological knots with the greatest of ease. - http://deoxy.org/watts.htm
"Inability to accept the mystic experience is more than an intellectual handicap. Lack of awareness of the basic unity of organism and environment is a serious and dangerous hallucination. For in a civilization equipped with immense technological power, the sense of alienation between man and nature leads to the use of technology in a hostile spirit---to the "conquest" of nature instead of intelligent co-operation with nature". Alan Watts http://deoxy.org/watts.htm

There is a saying in spanish that goes: " Lo bailado nadie te lo quita" which means more or less: " No one can take away the fun you had"
