“One of the most interesting transformations you acquire after observing cats is you start to not deceive people.” — Alan Watts

Alan Watts, a man of many titles but most importantly, a man who has helped the lives of many by popularizing Eastern philosophy for Westerners. My BFF, Sol, got me two books by Watts for my birthday which further piqued my interest in his teachings. If you aren’t a fan of reading, you can always go on youtube and search up “Alan Watts” and dive right into learning about who he was and all that his knowledge has to offer the world. The videos below are a few that I was listening to this morning. If you feel as if you don’t have “time” to listen to the videos well, you do! Time is just a construct my dear. Plus, even if you have the audio playing in the background while you’re washing dishes or cleaning, your subconscious is taking in all the material while your conscious self is doing its thing so you’re still absorbing info which is better than nothing.

Listen, take notes physically or mentally. Expand your knowledge and connect with your higher self.

Unless one is able to live fully in the present, the future is a hoax. There is no point whatever in making plans for a future which you will never be able to enjoy. When your plans mature, you will still be living for some other future beyond. You will never, never be able to sit back with full contentment and say, “Now, I’ve arrived!”

— Alan Watts
