Скачать или смотреть Alan Watts Shattering the Illusion of the Soul No-Self and True Liberation

Alan Watts explains the No-Self doctrine (Anatman) and why the illusion of the soul is the hidden source of fear, ego, and suffering.
In this profound and beginner-friendly talk, Alan Watts shatters the illusion of the soul and reveals how understanding No-Self leads to genuine inner freedom.

The teaching known as Alan Watts No-Self Explained is one of the most radical and liberating insights in all of Eastern philosophy. At the heart of Buddhism lies a simple but deeply unsettling realization: the “self” you believe you are protecting, improving, and defending does not exist as a fixed or permanent entity. What we call the self is not a thing — it is a process. Not a noun, but a verb. Not an object, but an event.

Alan Watts often emphasized that the belief in a separate soul is the psychological root of anxiety, fear of death, loneliness, and inner conflict. When you believe there is a solid “me” inside that must be preserved, improved, and secured, life instantly becomes a struggle. You begin defending an image that was never real, and that defensive posture creates suffering.

In this video, Alan Watts philosophy guides us gently into the Buddhist doctrine of Anatman (No-Self). According to this teaching, what we call “I” is simply a temporary combination of changing processes known as the Five Aggregates:

• Form (the body)
• Sensation
• Perception
• Mental formations
• Consciousness

None of these elements is permanent. None of them can be called “you.” They arise, change, and disappear moment by moment, just like waves appearing on the surface of the ocean. When Alan Watts explains this, he helps us see that identity is not a container we possess, but a continuous flow we participate in.

Alan Watts explains that you do not “have” consciousness — you are consciousness happening. Just as you do not own your breath, but breathing happens, the sense of self is simply an activity of the universe expressing itself through a human nervous system.

Once Alan Watts No-Self Explained is truly understood, a profound shift occurs:
• The fear of death begins to dissolve
• The pressure of self-improvement softens
• The illusion of separation collapses
• Compassion arises naturally, without effort

Alan Watts reminds us that compassion is not a moral obligation. It is a natural consequence of non-duality. When you no longer experience yourself as a separate ego trapped inside the body, you recognize others as expressions of the same process. You are not an isolated fragment of the universe — you are an aperture through which the universe experiences itself.

This insight does not destroy life — it illuminates it. It frees you from the exhausting burden of maintaining a false identity. You stop fighting your thoughts, stop controlling every outcome, and stop resisting emotions. Life begins to flow naturally, with clarity and ease.

Alan Watts famously said:
“You are the universe experiencing itself as a human being.”

This video will guide you step by step through:
• Why the soul is an illusion
• How ego creates fear and suffering
• The Five Aggregates explained clearly
• Why fear of death comes from identity
• Non-duality and natural compassion
• Living as a process, not a person
• Letting go of self without effort
• Inner freedom through awareness

When the illusion of the self dissolves, you no longer struggle to become someone. You discover that you were never incomplete to begin with. The universe has been breathing through you all along.

If this message resonates, it may be a sign that you are ready to see through one of humanity’s oldest illusions and step into a freer way of being.
