are you a free thinker? What do you think of Alan Watts philosophies?
What do I think of Advaita?
He was pretty based and made universal truths easy to understand
>>538158484>are you a free thinkerNo, too dumb.
>>538158484he was basedthe only people who hate him are destroyers who want to harm others while feeling justified in doing so.
>>538158833Yeah, but he destroyed his own body. He could have done a mahasamadhi, but he destroyed it with alcohol.
>>538158484Im more of a Pelly man myself
>>538158921he liked alcohol so why would he stop drinking it? well if he knew he's gonna die because of it would he care?
>>538158958>he destroyed his own body because of a vice. nothing wrong with that
>>538158921Alan Watts not being flawless only give strength to what he had to discuss. same as Eckhart Tolleyou won't find any great thinkers without any vices or past mistakes this im sure of
>>538159000checked
>>538159038What are Eckhart Tolle's vices and mistakes?
new age waste of time + 'guru' promotionask yourselveswould you be here if you were so enlightened and wise
>>538159247>talking about life>new agec'mon now
>>538159000>Memeflag>Cannot grasp even basic conceptsNon detected
>>538159180Workaholic, Depression, Alprazolam abuse, Homelesness just off the top of my head. what are you getting at anon? just here to argue in bad faith?
>>538159289>empty post>>538159318You're tripping. The problems you're listing were his problems BEFORE he got enlightened. That's the difference between him and Alan.
>>538159429ahh i see, so to you Allan Watts is a fraud because he drank even after supposed enlightenment while Eckhart seems to be an okay person without vices after his. But they both say the same thing basically... i dont think enlightenment is some elite club where you can only join once are free from all materialist bullshit... besides Eckhart sill rakes in cash with his talks instead of finding the creator in the mountains like some monk so theres that
>>538159741We are not talking rocked science here. What do you think of a so called 'enlightened being' committing fucking suicide by alcohol? Can't you tell something doesn't add?
>>538159924jumping on this convo. enlightenment isn't being all positive as people seem to think, it's becoming one with your shadow. there's a story told by a yogi I don't remember but it goes something like this, a thief goes to a temple seeking guidance, a monk helps him reach enlightenment, and after that the thief says thank you I'm going back to steal now. that's it. that's the story. make of that what you will
>>538159318how can one be workaholic and homeless at the same time?
>>538158944Twin for mr Rogers
>>538158484Slef absorbed, shilling eastern religions
>>538160218Enlightenment is realizing you're one with everything. It is realizing you're one with God. Why would an enlightened person kill his own body? You can do some mental gymnastics to come up with reasons, but you'll still be wrong.
>>538158484>why yes, of course I'm a free thinker>I get all my thinking from digested, abridged, possibly AI generated youtube videos
>>538160403It's a beautiful day in this ethnostate,A beautiful day for the white race.Would you be mine?Could you be mine?
>>538158484I thought Alan Watts actually was onto something when I was 15. Then I grew up and realized he was nothing more than a drugged out narcissist.
>>538158484some dude from countercurrents said Alan was quietly right-wing but idk how legit that claim is
>>538158484Nothing matters boomerslop
>>538160714>>538160830>>538160417>>538159247no shortage of posts trying to undermine and yet I see no alternative suggestions
>>538160218Chop wood, carry water, steal item, get hanged, but enlightenedly
>>538160973The OP question was “what do you think of this,” alternatives aren’t needed you embarrassing faggot. You’re allowed to like Watts without suffering ego injury every time someone doesn’t. Ironic since clearly you have learned nothing from this man you’re supposed to respect to this extent. Cult of personality retards like you are the absolute worst.
>>538158484Wasn’t he a card carrying nam bla member
>>538158484I like him as a speaker but personally I believe only an idiot would buy into jeet mysticism. Terrence McKenna was also just a DUDE lmao retard.
>>538158484>What do you think of Alan Watts philosophies?Like all eastern mystics and associated brownoid “thought”, it’s all retarded nonsense.
>>538158484A free thinker wouldn't get his philosophies from someone else.
>>538161156to be fair Samsara makes more sense than an afterlife.
You being the eternal consciousness that experiences every possible life forever might sound nice or horrifying depending on the person, but unfortunately this is death cope because you'd have to presuppose this eternal consciousness.
>>538161013yes
>>538158484I am more of a cheap thinker. I can't do free but if you come back after the weekend I may be able to a cheaper think.
>>538161206That’s fair. They both presuppose the existence of a soul, the difference is where it goes upon the death of the body.I was more referring to the “nothing exists except the Brahmin, everything is an illusion, you are simultaneously an illusion and also the Brahmin” retardation
>>538160605>Enlightenment is realizing you're one with everythingNah, even though the following sounds similar to realizing you're one with God, but it's the realization that you are part of the cosmic system, within and without. Your being encodes information about the rest of the universe, and vice versa. Just by studying an apple you can see that the apple implies someone will eat it (contains enzymes to be digested and nutrients to nourish the being, in exchange for seed dissipation) and by studying a primate you can see it implies there is food to be eaten (stomach expects the apple will provide enzymes to digest the food and make nutrients bioavailable). It's a whole dependency graph between every living thing. A cat implies a mouse, and a mouse implies a cat. Subsequently,>Why would an enlightened person kill his own body?is such a stupid statement because realizing everything is a system where actors are all interconnected by an invisible dependency graph, there is a place and time to kill other beings (for example food) and to destroy enemies in a righteous dharmic cause, like for example when ((stateless merchants)), agents of chaos, try to subvert other nations and sow disorder in to the cosmic order. If your body is infested with parasites, you need to cleanse yourself because it is the dharmic, righteous thing to do, in according to the cosmic law. Problem is that most people think they know enlightenment, but that's only intellectual recognition. It has to be experiental, intuitive understanding of things, then you can talk about understanding enlightnenment
>>538158484He was a British spy and part of the MK Ultra mind control set.
>>538161355I had a crazy DMT trip once, and all spirituality just 'clicked' for me. I can't explain it but I felt enveloped by God, and was made sure that everything will be alright, then was shooed off for 'not being ready'.I'm too uneducated to speak on the matter, but I think life and consciousness are as integral to the universe as hydrogen amd gravity are. Without active observers there is no point in anything existing. I'm not sure if we switch bodies after death, but at least you'll trip balls on your deathbed believing it.
>>538161473>NahStop reading here. No reason to continue this conversation if you're not even willing to comprehend what enlightenment is. Bye.
>>538161075nice spergout while saying nothing of value yet again
>>538158484>>538158484Just read the source material. All the commentary guru dudes are just rehashing with a layer of vagueness added to pad out content
