New Alan Watts Documentary. Coming Soon to a Reality Tunnel Near You * 1
    #14462320 - 05/16/11 02:12 PM (12 years, 9 months ago)

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/chrisbritt/in-the-way-with-alan-watts

It's refreshing to see this kind of project being successfully funded through kick starter.

There is also an interesting list of benefits depending on the amount pledged.

Alan's son, Mark, had his hand in this one.

One evening, I was walking through the woods and got very lost. It was getting dark and I had lost all sense of direction. After many confusing hours of walking and fumbling through the woods, I finally stumbled across a path... This is when I met  an old man named Alan Watts. We had a nice chat and then parted ways.

He never actually told me which way to go... but after we talked, I was confident about the direction I was heading:peace:

I'm absolutely stoked about this Alan Watts doc. I'm just now beginning to delve into the wisdom of Watts and i think so many of his teachings are just as relevant today as they were 40 years ago.


--------------------


"We are all intoxicated. We were born into an insane asylum, a world crazy-making. We believe what we see and hear. The real myth is the myth of sanity, of rationality: it's a disease that is eating away at the earth. All the poisons flow from our denial. We deny madness, we forget our crimes, we dismember the corpse, we imprison our children. We need poison to poison the poison, to remember the sacred nature of intoxication, the green body of the young god." ~ Dale Pendell

Very cool!  Glad to hear they reached their goal.  $50,000 is a really tough one to reach. 

I wonder what happens to the projects that don't reach their goal in time.  Do the investors get their money back or what?

With Pledge Music, no one is actually charged until the goal is reached. I dunno about jumpstarter and similar though.

How can you say that a writer/philosopher who passed away in 1973 is a neo hippie? It doesn't sound like you know what you're talking about.

if anything, watts was more part of the beat generation. but i highly doubt the posting labeling watts as a "neo hippy" has heard a single lecture from him.

I have heard him,

and he sounds exactly like:

Ram Dass, Terrence McKenna, Tim Leary, whoever the fuck else you want to put in there.



Form your own opinions, don't piggyback on the idea's of others (which is all these dudes are doing, stealing ancient beliefs and manufacturing them as their own, similar to what the English did with the Blues :lol:)

Fractal, ignore people like this from now on.  I wanted to say the same thing, but I didn't because I knew it would derail the entire thread like it did.
