Talking about death is such a deep-rooted taboo in our collective subconscious, that it can hardly be a subject of a spontaneous conversation or even a thoughtful reflection. And if death is ever a subject of conversation or comment, then it's always talked about with a considerable amount of aversion, reluctance, and pathetic melancholy. In this speech, Alan Watts approaches the subject of death in such a light-hearted, yet profound way, that the listener can’t help having a hearty laugh upon the most feared event in one’s life, the act of dying. Because man fears what he doesn’t understand, fear of death must be the biggest fear because it is based on the biggest misunderstanding, not only of death as the end of life, but of life as a time span that ends with death. It is maybe the most hilarious and, at the same time, most liberating speech about death that you’ll ever listen to.

  • *how weird life is. I now am the one about to write the following* .... So im terminally ill . The odd part is ... I genuinely dont care. And yes I had a great life .... I love the shite out of life. Music ... science...films ...fashion..dancing...sex...drugs...love ...all of it. Im just tired and ready. I decided against treatment. I actually have a great chance of success ....i just dont care..

    • There is absolutely nothing to fear about the death of the body. Just a small amount of spiritual understanding is sufficient to make this so-called "death" rather an object of intense yearning. If you TRULY genuinely don't care, and this implies a feeling of absolute inner peace, then congratulations! This is exactly what Coomaraswamy used to pray for: "I pray that death will not come and find me still unannihilated". It is a rule, however, that those who embrace death and lose the fear thereof are the ones who always survive, no matter how terminally ill they might be, unless they are really willing to transit.

    • I'm afraid it is. But I still wonder what the rules are. Can we have a break before entering the physical world, or we "continously" alive? How are picked to what body to be born in and how?

    • I had a dream, I was with friends and family and we were all about to be "send off" to different places and were told that some of those were destroyed with horrible conditions, other places were built new and comfortable.
