When we think of spiritual pioneers in the Zen community, we often think of the Thich Nhat Hanh’s, Osho’s and Daisetsu Teitaro Suzuki’s of the world. All of which brought a very unique and beautiful perspective of Zen buddhist teachings. The difficulty we often experience in the west is how to accurately translate the mysterious and subtle teaching of Zen in such a way that it doesn’t come across as yet another teaching for the ego to “try” and personify as our own.  In this sense, our ability to translate it becomes imperative to understanding it, at least at the beginning.  One Zen teacher we often hear about at some point in our journey is Alan Watts! In many ways, Alan seems to be worked into the fabric of our western spiritual landscape, and for reasons that are pretty obvious.  He was one of the only teachers at the time that had the uncanny ability to translate and interpret the teachings of Zen in such a way that appealed to not only a younger audience, but to a vast demographic of seekers here in the west that weren’t at all familiar with it.  He had this phenomenal ability to modernize spirituality in such a way that allowed us all to relate to it at a human level.  Through a mixture of philosophy and spiritual wisdom, Alan Watts became one of the most profound leaders of our time. In this episode Jenn I celebrate the sacred teachings of Alan Watts by reflecting on some of our favorite teachings and quotes!  You may even get the rare opportunity to hear my Alan Watts impression (still needs a little work, but whatevs).  Join us as we take a deep dive into the mind of the master himself, Alan Watts!  In this episode we discuss,  Who was Alan Watts?Eastern Guru or Spiritual Entertainer?Silencing The Mind in MeditationThe Spiritual Dynamics Of LoveThe Tireless Journey Of Chasing WealthAlan’s Thoughts On Psychedelic MedicineWe Are The MeaningThe Knower And The KnownThe Relationship Between Life and DeathUnderstanding The TaoOur Relationship To NatureThe Art Of Non DoingThe Inevitability Of ChangeSurrendering To Life  Full video episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7f5Hgj2cOkDivine Nobodies Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/divine.nobo...Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7uiWvCa...Divine Nobodies on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast.. Contact: [email protected]Booking: [email protected]Website: www.divine-nobodies.com
