Beware of the Trickster Guru.
In this rare 16-minute Alan Watts lecture, he explores what it would mean to act like a charlatan or trickster spiritual teacher. With his unique humor and wisdom, Watts turns the idea of a “fake guru” into a profound teaching about illusion, spirituality, and the paradox of wisdom.
Alan Watts reflects on:
How a trickster guru might behave
Why even deceptive teachers can serve a purpose in the community
The paradox of wisdom, humor, and illusion in spirituality
