🤍 Inspired by Alan Watts 🤍
This channel is not here to teach in the conventional sense, but to remind you of what you already are. Drawing from Alan’s insights into consciousness, illusion, and the present moment, these reflections are not instructions but invitations — to notice that the search itself is the illusion.
As Alan Watts often said: “The ego is nothing more than the focus of conscious attention.” There’s no self to improve, only a mystery to remember.
