"Jobs come and go, physical beauty fades. Even close relationships can end. But the benefits of philosophy last a lifetime." -NYC Subway Ad πŸ§¨πŸ„β˜„οΈπŸŠπŸ”‘πŸŒΌπŸ§€πŸ¦œπŸŒ΅πŸ§€πŸ‘—πŸ¦‹πŸ’ŽπŸŸβ˜‚οΈπŸͺπŸ›Ή This is a series of philosophy lectures set to music, the idea being that the music helps shape the teachings into a more digestible form, and allows you to listen to them in any state (driving, exercising) and remain engaged with the text. The first season features lectures by Alan Watts, who has been described as a teacher of Buddhist and Hindu philosophy with a knack for making them sensible to Western audiences. They pertain to the most fundamental of questions: what is reality? [note: the lectures are from the 60s and occasionally some of the language used is outmoded by today's standards]

What There Is
When It Happens, It'll Happen
"You are not a captive in a trap. You’re not just some mere little measly being that somehow or other was brought into an insane universe, but you are what the thing is. You are not the victim. You are the system. Only, you have identified yourself with one wave in it." ᴍᴜꜱΙͺα΄„ κœ°Κ€α΄α΄ κœ°α΄α΄œΚ€ ᴛᴇᴛ α΄€Ι΄α΄… α΄›Κœα΄‡ α΄„Κœα΄‡α΄Ιͺα΄„α΄€ΚŸ Κ™Κ€α΄α΄›Κœα΄‡Κ€κœ±, α΄€ΚŸα΄Ι΄Ι’ α΄‘Ιͺα΄›Κœ α΄€ α΄„α΄ΚŸΚŸα΄‡α΄„α΄›Ιͺᴏɴ ᴏꜰ Κœα΄α΄œκœ±α΄‡ ᴍᴜꜱΙͺα΄„

What There Is
You're In The Middle
"One of the first things that everybody should understand is that every creature in the universe that is in any way sensitive and in any manner of speaking conscious regards itself as a human being. It knows and is aware of a hierarchy of beings above it and a hierarchy of beings below it. [....] That is to say that wherever you are and whoever you are and whatever you are, you’re in the middle."

What There Is
The Cracker of Shells
"[Shiva] is the destroyer in the sense of being the liberator: the cracker of shells so that chickens can come forth, the breaker-up of mothers so that their children can be un-smothered. The liberative destruction. The bonfire." Β  ᴍᴜꜱΙͺα΄„ κœ°Κ€α΄α΄ α΄…α΄€α΄˜ΚœΙ΄Ιͺ, ᴍᴏᴏᴅʏᴍᴀɴ, α΄‹Κ€α΄œκœ±α΄›, & α΄€ΚŸΙͺꜱᴏɴ α΄‘α΄Ι΄α΄…α΄‡Κ€ΚŸα΄€Ι΄α΄…

What There Is
The Universe Peoples
"So let’s say the tree which grows apples is a tree which apples, using 'apple' as a verb. And a world in which human beings arrive is a world that peoples. And so the existence of people is symptomatic of the kind of universe we live in, just as spots on somebody’s skin is symptomatic of chicken pox, just as hair on a head is symptomatic of what’s going on in the organism. But we have been brought up not to feel that we belong in the world. So our popular speech reflects it. You say, 'I came into this world.' You didn’t. You came out of it."
