why was he an alcoholic? did he ever explain that?
>>18091358yes, a boozer and a bit of misogynist, but that was just par for the course. he admitted at every turn that he was a "fraud" and a conman, which only made the kooks love him even more. Now, he's just feel good New Age hippie nonsense. If he were to come out today, he'd be canceled in an instant for LARPing as an Orientalist, Straight, White, Male, oppressor, or whatever. He was actually mildly BASED by today's standards and hated sheepish Leftie types and at least received an excellent English education. The last generation that ever did.

>>18091450nta, but I listened to him in my 20's and he said it every other lecture lmao dude was an absolute Chad who took advantage of the Beatnik generation to live life on easy mode

>White RACIST Christians are fascists>They believe the world is pro-monarchyHe just conflates different things without understanding terminology or relationships. On the whole, he ranks about average for someone living in his time. You'd do just as well to go to Stephen King for philosophy or fulfillment as Alan Watts.
>>18091471the video you posted only legitimates him. america clowned over the image of Christ, making him look apart from others when his message was about the unity of everythingis this @blakbodhisattva26 channel yours?
>>18091490>america clowned over the image of Christ, making him look apart from others when his message was about the unity of everythingRewrite this to express a serious point. Christ was about unity? When he told the semitic Canaanite woman she was a dog? You sure about that?>is this @blakbodhisattva26 channel yours?I do not redeem
Don't see Watts on here much so I'd like to let everyone know that I liked his (and by his I mean wherever he was getting it from) theme about linguistic roots and language shaping perception.Does anyone know much much of his stuff is actually Mahayana Buddihsm?Is it a faithful representation or just cookie-cutter stuff that gets young white girls wet?
>>18091521>Is it a faithful representation or just cookie-cutter stuff that gets young white girls wet?He wished it did this. It's mostly for old white dudes who want to feel worldly because they grew up without a culture. It kind of sucks when your "culture" is top 20s songs and nothing but concrete roads lined with brand logos of fast food chains.
>>18091358Literally who
>>18091450All Gurus are. That's unironically the lesson they're trying to teach. They don't "know" any more about the Universe than anyone else. Duh. WAKE UP!!!
>>18091514If you mention the passage about the Canaanite woman you have to also tell the people how it ended. He healed her and praised her faith.
>>18093254The bigger point is that the Semitic Canaanite Aramaic speaker was called a dog. He came around, but the point is that the Semitic proto-"Hebrew" speaker (as it's called today) was told she wasn't jewish. It's like when you get to Deuteronomy 7:1 and there are instructions to exterminate all of those people. It's like wait a minute- he's saying all of these pre-Hebrew speakers need to die? The people who inhabited the land of Canaan and thought it was theirs to begin with? He's talking about rabbinicalists before they morphed themselves into OT followers.

>>18093273I also hate this, but that's sham Alan Watts. Babby's first introduction to eastern religion.
>>18091450If you had LCMS mind reading powers you would know this to be true. The practice of closed communion brings powers many consider to be unnatural.
>>18093261Hebrew had already existed and was a dead language in the time of Jesus. Fucking retarded ass post.
>>18093261He also doesn't really call her a dog, we don't know the tone in which he was speaking but you can sort of see what the message is and it isn't "my gifts are not for gentiles or that gentiles should die". He seeks humility in his followers and repeatedly works miracles for those outside of the Jewish ethno-religion and mentions that they are saved or will be with him. He also strongly condemns many members of the Jewish faith for their abandonment of God and, nearing the end of his life, knows that they will refuse to accept him. Synagoguge of Satan, the persecution of Christ and Christians by Jewish leaders, the salvation of non-Jewish gentiles and even pagans. None of this quantifies a religious figure that views Gentiles as dogs.
>>18093348There was no Hebrew. There was Aramaic, and before that there was Canaanite. Calling it "Hebrew" is a revision of history.
>>18093576Hebrew did exist. Modern Hebrew is conlang because it makes up large parts that just aren't in the tanakh from whole cloth. But Hebrew did exist as an original language. You should call modern Hebrew Neo-Hebrew to prevent confusion.
>>18093585Wrong. You're talking about Aramaic, language of the Arameans, which was a derivative of the Canaanites. In fact, modern day Israeli government funded archeologists just call Canaanite "proto-Hebrew" in order to insert themselves into a history that they do not belong. Very hamfisted.
