Why do spiritually awake people often feel so lonely? In this profound lecture, philosopher Alan Watts dismantles the myths of modern romance and reveals the “cosmic joke” of seeking love after realizing your oneness with the universe.
Watts explains that what we call “love” is often a transaction—a game played by two incomplete people driven by need and fear, each desperately “shopping for completion.” He exposes this conventional romance as a beautiful illusion, a “mutual hypnosis” that the spiritually awake can no longer participate in.
Discover the “price of awakening”: the loneliness that comes from seeing through a game everyone else is still playing. This lecture is a complete guide to understanding why this isn’t a failure, but a sign that you’ve outgrown the old stories. Learn to embrace the truth that you are already whole and that real love comes not from need, but from fullness.
This is a deep dive into finding authentic connection, moving beyond neediness, and discovering the love that was always within you.
