Alan Watts on How to Forgive Yourself and Forgive the World | Alan Watts Speak
Forgiveness is not about forgetting or pretending nothing happened it’s about releasing yourself from the burden of carrying it. When we forgive ourselves, we soften the voice that says we should have done better. When we forgive the world, we stop demanding that life be something other than what it is.
As Alan Watts often said, you are under no obligation to be the same person you were five minutes ago. True forgiveness is not an act of virtue, but an act of liberation. It allows us to move freely in the present, not bound by ghosts of the past or fantasies of how things should be. Life unfolds as it must and in that unfolding, we discover what it means to truly let go.
Have you ever struggled to forgive yourself or others? Share your journey below you are not alone.

Inspired by the Teachings of Alan Watts
This video is created in the spirit of Alan Watts’ philosophy not to tell you what true, but to help awaken what you may already sense within. Rooted in ideas of radical acceptance, the illusion of separation, and the dance of life, these words aim to dissolve the hard edges of judgment both toward self and the world.
You don’t need to improve yourself because what if there’s no separate self to fix? Forgiveness, then, is not fixing, but remembering that you were never truly broken. If this reminds you of something you’ve always known but forgotten, then we’ve done our job.
If in listening, you find yourself smiling at the seriousness you once carried… or if you sense, even briefly, the freedom in simply being then welcome home, even if just for a moment.
