Mark Watts compiled this work from his father's extensive journals and audiotapes of famous lectures he delivered, in his later years, across the country. In three parts Alan Watts explains the basic philosophy of meditation, how individuals can practice a variety of meditations, and how inner wisdom grows naturally.

Space is considered to be nothingness by many. But after all it is the background in which we see everything. It is against space and within the dimension of time that we experience everything we experience. Space and time are the two basic dimensions of our world but are uncommonly illusive. We can say they are our way of thinking of the universe as being a system of patterns. And our awe at the vastness of space may be man's astonishment at himself.

Assembled in the form of a “mountain journal,” written during a retreat in the foothills of Mount Tamalpais, CA, Cloud-Hidden, Whereabouts Unknown is Watts’s meditation on the art of feeling out and following the watercourse way of nature, known in Chinese as the Tao. Embracing a form of contemplative meditation that allows us to stop analyzing our experiences and start living in to them, the book explores themes such as the natural world, established religion, race relations, karma and reincarnation, astrology and tantric yoga, the nature of ecstasy, and much more.

Western thought and culture have coalesced around a series of constructed ideas—that human beings stand separate from a nature that must be controlled; that the mind is somehow superior to the body; that all sexuality entails a seduction—that in some way underlie our exploitation of the earth, our distrust of emotion, and our loneliness and reluctance to love.

With essays on "cosmic consciousness" (including Alan Watts' account of his own ventures into this inward realm); the paradoxes of self-consciousness; LSD and consciousness; and the false opposition of spirit and matter, This Is It: And Other Essays on Zen and Spiritual Experience is a truly mind-opening audiobook collection.

Alan Watts examines the problem of humans in a seemingly hostile universe in ways that question the social norms and illusions that bind and constrict modern humans. Marking a groundbreaking synthesis, Watts asserts that the powerful insights of Freud and Jung, which had, indeed, brought psychiatry close to the edge of liberation, could, if melded with the hitherto secret wisdom of the Eastern traditions, free people from their battles with the self.

Even if you’re stressed, unhappy, or highly anxious in everyday life and have tried fixing it before with books, videos, or even a therapist, don’t worry. You’re not alone and this guide can help you like it helped many others. While most other philosophy books will only cover basics and not go into the underlying human mechanics that actually make you tick and feel what you feel right now, this book actually helps you to get under your own skin and systematically create the habits and tools to create lasting change from the inside-out.

Alan Watts became famous first as a brilliant intellectual and then as a serious student of Buddhism and meditation. In the 1970s, the last years of his life, he retreated to a small, isolated cabin deep in the woods. He meditated every morning and then wrote. Still the Mind consists of several talks he gave in his later years, recorded and edited by his son, Mark Watts, and then published as a book. His speaking shows a maturity and wisdom that can only come after years of meditation.

Alan Watts is today remembered as a trailblazing interpreter of Eastern philosophy, but The Two Hands of God reveals a different side of his multifaceted genius. In this ambitious work, Watts takes listeners on a fascinating journey through the mythology of China, Egypt, India, the Middle East, and medieval Europe. His theme is the human experience of polarity, a condition in which opposing qualities define and complement each other. Watts illustrates the way great sages and artists across time have seen beyond the apparent duality of the universe to find a deeper unity.

In this eye-opening account of "metaphysical blindness" in the West, Watts accents the dense exploration of religious philosophy with wry wit that will engage inquiring minds in search of spiritual power and wisdom.

Alan Watts, beloved for bringing a childlike wonder to the spiritual journey, once wrote a story for children. The Fish Who Found the Sea brings this delightful and wise parable to life for a new generation. In this tale of a tail, we meet a fish with a curiously familiar problem - he’s gotten himself so mixed up that he spends all his time chasing himself in circles! Only the Great Sea knows how to help our poor fish get out of the mess he’s created with his own runaway thoughts.

Möchten Sie im Chaos des Lebens inneren Frieden finden? In dem von Deepack Chopra empfohlenen Hörbuch "Weisheit des ungesicherten Lebens" zeigt Alan Watts, ein weltberühmter Religionsphilosoph, auf, wie unsere moderne Gesellschaft aufgrund ihrer Betonung von materiellem Erfolg, Sicherheit und Kontrolle oft keine Freude in den Menschen hervorbringt. Er argumentiert, dass das Leben tiefgründig und unvorhersehbar ist und es letztlich an uns liegt, ihm einen Sinn zu geben, wobei Erfüllung nur aus der Akzeptanz der Vergänglichkeit dieses Lebens resultiert.

À la source des conflits humains se trouve notre méprise fondamentale de ce que nous sommes. L’illusion que nous sommes des êtres isolés, sans lien avec le reste de l’univers, nous a conduits à considérer le monde « extérieur » avec animosité et a alimenté notre mauvaise utilisation de la technologie et notre soumission violente et hostile du monde naturel. Pour nous aider à comprendre que le moi s’avère en fait la source et le fondement de l'univers.

De ce oamenii acceptă viața, dar nu știu s-o iubească, privind înfricoșați spre capătul ei? De ce căutarea fericirii duce la stări de tensiune și anxietate? De ce omenirea și-a pierdut sensul și de ce prea puțini simt că și-au găsit calea? De ce în suflet se dă un război din care cei mai mulți ies învinși? Alan Watts îți oferă câteva răspunsuri. Ce înseamnă fericirea este o carte care pune în balanță filosofia orientală și pe cea occidentală și compară ideile propuse de diferite religii.
