Alan Watts on Waves (Original Video)

Updated 2 years ago

Ocean Waves

Deep Fakes run through AI. Some have sound. Some have black thumbnails.
Update Sept 2022: Be sure to also check out my Tiktok channel, which has a lot of these videos, but with sound.

There is no audio of Alan Watts saying this, from his travelogue Whereabouts Unknown, so I made my own.
Although the rhythm of the waves beats a kind of time, it’s not clock or calendar time. It has no urgency. It’s timeless time because I know I’m listening to a rhythm which has been just the same for millions of years. And it takes you out of the world of relentlessly ticking clocks. Clocks for some reason or other always seem to be marching. And armies never march to anything but doom. But there’s no marching rhythm in the motion of waves. It harmonizes with the breath. It does not count our days. Its pulse is not in the stingy spirit of measuring marking out how much still remains. It’s the breathing of eternity, like the Brahma of Indian mythology, who inhales and exhales manifests and dissolves the worlds endlessly forever.
