What if living forever isn’t a dream—but a nightmare? In this video, we explore Alan Watts on death and why the fantasy of immortality may strip life of its meaning. Through timeless Alan Watts philosophy, we confront the illusion of immortality, the fear of dying, and the truth that death completes life. Watts reveals that without impermanence, there is no beauty, no urgency, no authenticity. Eternity, he warns, becomes a slow descent into numbness.
Drawing from concepts like mono no aware, the cycle of life and death, and the ego’s illusion of control, this video invites you to embrace the beauty of impermanence. Learn why death as liberation is not morbid, but liberating—and how accepting mortality helps us live fully now. This is not a meditation on despair, but on depth. A call to let go, to feel, and to trust that acceptance of death is the beginning of real life.
