Podcast appearances and mentions of Alan Watts

In episode 291 of The Just Checking In Podcast we checked in with Leigh Edwards. Leigh Edwards works as a QA Analyst for a housing association and helps lead on the community work that men's mental health charity Mandem Meet Up (MMU) carries out in Wolverhampton. Leigh was raised by a single mum in a difficult neighbourhood of Wolverhampton, but achieved the grades to study at university. He dropped out in his second year but views it as the best decision he's ever made. Leigh's mental health difficulties started when he was 26 years old. He suffered with auditory psychosis for eight months but never told anyone about it. It got to the point where he became suicidal and he planned to take his own life on Mother's Day in 2019. His plan was to go round to see family and ‘say goodbye' for the final time. However, his mum had the most important mother's instinct of her life and wouldn't let him leave the house as she knew something was wrong. After forcing the issue through his defences, Leigh disclosed to her how he was feeling, broke down and agreed for his family to take him to their local hospital. After psychiatric nurses came to his house for a few weeks and checked in on him, he felt like it was no longer helping him and decided to take ownership of his mental health and life. He started doing meditation, discovered the work of a philosopher called Alan Watts and the concept of Taoism, jumped down a rabbit hole and never came out. In this episode we discuss Leigh's upbringing, the psychosis, suicidality and recovery. We then discuss the grief of losing his best friend Ryan who had helped him through that period just a year afterwards in 2020, who tragically took his own life. We also discuss the impact that David Goggins had on Leigh's recovery and how it led him to taking his fitness journey to another level, starting with one half-marathon in memory of his friend, before running two ultra-marathons for himself. Leigh's advocacy work began in December 2022, a month before MMU Wolverhampton was formed. He took part in a monthly hike in Snowden with MMU and in January 2023 – the charity's Founder and previous JCIP guest Jamie Dennis gave the green light to start Mandem Wolves alongside his co-founder Christian. MMU Wolves work continued with an outreach programme for homeless people in Wolverhampton town centre, which takes place once-a-month and has been running for two years. We discuss this community work, running MMU football and his plans to turn it into a fully-fledged team. We finish by discussing his next project to run 10 marathons in 10 days to fundraise for MMU, which at time of recording he was preparing for, but has now successfully completed in June 2025.

In this episode, I am once again joined by Dhammarato: a lineage teacher in the Thai Buddhist tradition.  Dhammarato critiques Western and Asian Buddhist forms, including the Mahasi method, and addresses misconceptions about stream entry. Dhammarato comments on The Shorter Discourse to Mālunkyāputta, explains why the Buddha refused to teach on certain metaphysical subjects, challenges reincarnation, and questions mettā bhāvanā. Dhammarato also presents his understanding of the Buddha's true teachings, how to find a guru, and reflects on his own training under Ajahn Po. …

Mash is not just a scientist.She is the space between the question and the cureA translator between the language of neurons and the speech of the sacred.For more than two decades, with the full force of the National Institute on Drug Abuse behind her, she walked a razor's edge—between chemistry and ceremony, between the morgue and the miracle.Emeritus Professor of Neurology and Molecular Pharmacology at the University of Miami.But more importantly:One of the first to say what no one else dared—that ibogaine, this strange plant from the equator of myth, could be the key not just to breaking addiction…but to restoring the human story.In 1993, while most of medicine still clung to the pharmaceutical dream,she brought ibogaine to the FDA and said,“This belongs in the light.”Then spent nearly a decade in St. Kitts, not on sabbatical, but in spiritual triage—guiding the desperate, the forgotten, the reborn.She discovered noribogaine, the hidden messenger,the afterglow chemical of change,the note behind the note.And now, as CEO and co-founder of DemeRx,she's leading the charge to bring this ancient medicine into the future—not as folklore, but as evidence-based deliverance.Alan Watts told us that “You are an aperture through which the universe is looking at and exploring itself.”Dr. Mash built the microscope to prove it.This isn't medicine.It's myth rewritten in peer-reviewed journals.This isn't just pharmacology.It's the soft thunder of redemption under a lab coat.So lean in close.Because when Deborah speaks,you don't just hear data—you feel the flame of a woman who walked into the darkand returned with the map.Deborah C.

¿Te has preguntado por qué sientes fatiga mental constante incluso cuando haces todo “bien”? ¿O por qué, cuanto más te esfuerzas, menos claridad tienes? En este contenido explico de forma directa y práctica cómo el exceso de control, la presión por rendir y la hiperproductividad te desconectan de tu enfoque, de tu energía real y de tus resultados. Con base en fundamentos neurocientíficos, filosofía aplicada (Alan Watts) y experiencia personal, te muestro: Qué es el ciclo de desgaste mental y físico. Cómo opera el cortisol crónico y afecta tus decisiones, memoria y enfoque. Qué significa realmente “soltar el control” desde un enfoque práctico y no esotérico. Cómo recuperar dirección, energía y capacidad de respuesta sin caer en la pasividad. Por qué tu rendimiento no depende de cuánto haces, sino desde dónde lo haces. Esto no es motivación. Es estrategia aplicada para que vuelvas a operar desde tu centro.

Codex Serafini: https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-animaImagine if your nervous system were a cathedral—not a machine, not a malfunctioning circuit—but a living temple sculpted by experience, memory, mystery, and motion.Today's guest, Dr. Henrietta Szutorisz, doesn't just study the brain—she listens to its prayers, decodes its confessions, and challenges its illusions.She's a neuroscientist by training, a revolutionary by nature,the founder of Objective Recovery,where data meets soul, and the tired scripts of addiction and mental health get rewritten in real time.But she's not here to give you answers.She's here to help us ask better questions.What if the root of addiction isn't a disease, but a forgotten ritual?What if trauma isn't something to erase, but to reweave?What if the brain isn't a hard drive, but a symphony—and psychedelics are simply tuning forks for forgotten frequencies?Henrietta sits at the crossroads:between serotonin and soul, dopamine and destiny,neuroplasticity and the myth of the fixed self.She dares to say that maybe—just maybe—the mechanism of action is a mirage,and we are the experiment we've been waiting for.So today, we're not talking about “fixing” people.We're talking about remembering.We're talking about sacred biology.We're talking about the fire of consciousness waking up in the folds of the cortex.This is Alan Watts in a lab coat.Whitehead whispering through neurotransmitters.Burning Man in a Petri dish.And this conversation—this unfolding, this inquiry—is for those who still believe the map is not the territory,and that healing is not a protocol,but a pilgrimage.Welcome to the place where science stops performing,and starts dancing.Let's begin.https://www.objectiverecovery.com/ Support the show:https://www.paypal.me/Truelifepodcast?locale.x=en_USCheck out our YouTube:https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPzfOaFtA1hF8UhnuvOQnTgKcIYPI9Ni9&si=Jgg9ATGwzhzdmjkgGrow your own:https://modernmushroomcultivation.com/This Band Will Blow Your Mind: Codex Serafinihttps://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-anima

Performer and Director Richard Mann is this week's guest on Adult Site Broker Talk. The tall, dark, and well-hung male porn star known as Richard Mann is a Pisces who drew his first breath in San Francisco during the mid-1960s. The only child eventually became a multi-award-winning interracial performer and learned an important thing when he began swinging during his first marriage; the ladies loved his 9-inch Black cock. Unexpectedly, their male partners liked watching Mann plow their companions, and this led to some important porn referrals. Soon, something unusual happened. Someone told Mann that he could be a porn star, and they followed through with a referral. In 2004, Mann's life changed when Brandon Iron, West Coast Productions, and Shane Diesel contacted him. It wasn't long before he visited Los Angeles, and both fumbled and found his way through his first porn scenes. With titles including Black Cock Sluts, Black Bulls, Monster Cock Fuck Fest, and the infamous Manaconda series, it didn't take long for the dynamic power fucker to get noticed. Often associated with his work for Blacked, Blacks on Blondes, and Evil Angel, Mann now works behind and in front of the camera with great results. Mann, the owner of his self-titled studio, also appears on FreeOnes and runs RichardMannsWorld. He shoots four monthly scenes in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, or Miami. The rest of the time, he's content to stay in San Francisco, watch documentaries, read about history, theology, philosophy, psychology, and business matters, and nerd out on network administration. Therein lies the unique sexual power of the man called Richard Mann. He's the complete package. The same 9-inch cock that unloads creampies into white women, Black women, assholes, vaginas, and as part of a double vag and double anal scene belongs to the man who can discuss morals, dogma, Alan Watts, Albert Pike, fair wages, hacking, and books. Yet, he remains humble, saying simply, “I do sex for a living. Nothing else.” No wonder he's been making women moan and men aspire for 30 cum-drenched years.

Please join Samantha and Denise as they explore Alan Watts' concept of the Backwards Law, which suggests that the more we strive for security and control, the more we may feel insecure and out of sync with our natural state. Watts states that acceptance of our insecurities and negative emotions can lead to greater peace […]

But, in India, if someone suddenly wakes up one morning and says 'My goodness, I'm God', everybody says, instead of you're crazy or blasphemous, they say 'Congratulations, at last you've found out'". – Alan WattsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What if your work felt like play? What if that seemingly childish question—"What would you do if money was no object?"—actually held the key to living without regret?Captain Frodo takes us on a profound journey through the false separation between play and work that dominates adult life. Drawing wisdom from philosophers Johann Huizinga and John Dewey alongside mystical thinker Alan Watts, this episode challenges our cultural assumptions about what constitutes "serious" pursuits.The exploration reveals how children's play—far from frivolous—represents deep, meaningful engagement with the world. This "serious play" serves as their work, their way of understanding themselves and their place in society. Meanwhile, adults often abandon play for "work" defined by external rewards rather than intrinsic satisfaction, creating lives split between obligation and enjoyment.Most poignantly, we confront the five most common regrets of the dying, with the top regret being failing to live authentically rather than meeting others' expectations. This reveals the potential consequences of abandoning our playful nature for socially prescribed paths.Through evolutionary perspectives showing childhood's increasing importance in human development and philosophical insights about integrating play and work, Captain Frodo offers a compelling vision: work permeated with the play attitude becomes art—and potentially, the foundation of a life without regret.Ready to reconsider the role of play in your life and work?

In Episode 4 of Flow, host Cam Cooksey brings the audience into a deeply reflective, soulful conversation centered on healing, surrender, and flowing with life as designed by God. Returning from GART recharged and full of gratitude, Cam plays a powerful AI-narrated compilation of Alan Watts' philosophies, anchored in themes of impermanence, pain, and spiritual release, then weaves it seamlessly into a God-centered framework of letting go and trusting divine timing. Cam challenges the audience to consider how holding onto pain, resisting change, and fearing the unknown stunts growth and spiritual peace. Through poignant metaphors, from tug-of-war injuries to rivers that don't mourn their past, he underscores how surrendering to God's natural flow brings clarity, strength, and transformation. In typical Cam fashion, the show is also filled with lighthearted chat engagement, hilarious sidebars (including his forehead humility), and a joyful Chris Stapleton interlude that ties it all back to his Arkansas roots. With his usual blend of authenticity, scripture, humor, and heartfelt introspection, Cam reminds us that peace isn't found in control, but in presence, purpose, and the courage to let life flow as God intended.

Alan Watts was a British-American philosopher and speaker known for bringing Eastern wisdom into the heart of Western culture.

Christopher Harding's The Light of Asia: A History of Western Fascination with the East (Allen Lane, 2024) is a fascinating survey of two millennia of Western encounters with Eastern culture, thought and religions. From Herodotus to Alan Watts, Harding profiles a range of engaging figures who have had a sometimes-overlooked impact on the way we in the West engage with and understand Asia. From the myths of antiquity through to the impact of the hippie movement, the book asks; ‘What is real? Who says? How should I live?', and provides a wealth of historical analysis, anecdotal sketches and philosophical insight to explore how the Western and Eastern ways of thinking about these fundamental questions have intersected, conflicted with and complemented each other. Guest: Christopher Harding is Senior Lecturer in Asian History at The University of Edinburgh.

In this episode, I explore the Buddhist teaching of aimlessness, one of the Three Doors of Liberation, through personal reflection and the lens of my son's journey into adulthood. What if life doesn't need a fixed purpose to be meaningful? Drawing on insights from Buddhism, Alan Watts, and everyday life—including paragliding, parenting, and playing music—I consider what it means to live fully when we stop racing toward a destination. Aimlessness isn't about giving up; it's about letting go of the pressure to always be somewhere else, and discovering the joy of being right here, right now. Life, like dancing or listening to music, might not be about getting to the end—it might just be about the experience itself. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Our guest in this episode is Josselyne Herman-Saccio, a master coach and transformative leader who empowers people to live the life of their dreams with her "Unmessable with" philosophy. In her conversation with host Jürgen Strauss, Josselyne explores the power of shifting beliefs, living dreams now, and maintaining a focus on vision over vehicles for lasting fulfilment. Key points discussed include:* Shedding Limiting Beliefs for Dream Fulfilment: Josselyne shares her journey of overcoming the belief that art couldn't be a career, which led to achieving her dreams with ease.* Living Dreams in the Present: She emphasises creating visions that can be experienced now, urging us to manifest desired life experiences rather than postponing them to a future "someday."* Harnessing Vision Versus Vehicles: Josselyne explains the distinction between vision and vehicles, encouraging a focus on vision to navigate life's uncertain paths and avoid getting stuck on one method of achieving goals.This insightful conversation inspires us to unlock our potential by realising dreams in the present, focusing on unyielding visions to guide our journeys.Listen to the podcast to find out more.Listen to the PodcastShow Notes from this episode with Josselyne Herman-Saccio, Be UnMessableWithEmbracing the Unmessable With PhilosophyWelcome to an invigorating exploration of potential and resilience with the transformative leader, Josselyne Herman-Saccio. In her insightful conversation with Jürgen Strauss on the Innovabuzz podcast, Josselyne, a master coach and the creator of the "Unmessable With" philosophy, reveals how we can transform our lives by overcoming limiting beliefs. With experience spanning over three decades, she steers individuals towards living the lives of their dreams in the present, not in the elusive "someday." Let's delve into the core themes and insights from this inspiring dialogue.The Journey from Dreams to RealityJosselyne's own life is a blueprint of how dreams can transform into reality. Her journey from a pop star to a transformative coach is rich with lessons on overcoming limiting beliefs. She shares the pivotal moment in her early twenties when she questioned an ingrained belief that one cannot pursue art as a career. This epiphany marked the shift from seeing it as an unchangeable truth to seeing it as a mere belief. By shedding this limitation, she swiftly accomplished her dream of a music career, demonstrating the powerful unfolding when personal barriers are dismantled. Her story reminds us that living our dreams starts by questioning and transforming the narratives we tell ourselves.Understanding the Unmessable With ConceptAccording to Josselyne, being "unmessable with" is not about being tough or suppressing emotions; it's about staying committed to your vision regardless of external chaos. She emphasises that it's natural to react to life's upheavals, but the true art lies in transitioning from reaction to creation. This philosophy equips individuals to remain steadfast in their vision, enabling them to navigate life's unpredictabilities with grace and persistence. It's about developing the nimbleness to recalibrate swiftly and consistently focus on building the life envisioned.Crafting and Living Your Vision NowJosselyne brings forth a transformative approach to vision creation where one doesn't wait for someday. Instead, she encourages crafting and living your dreams in the present. Unlike goals, which are tangible endpoints, visions are lived experiences that aren't reliant on circumstances and are fulfillable in the moment. She emphasises that achieving tangible goals without an overarching vision often leads to emptiness, whereas a vision constantly rejuvenates and fulfils us. The process illuminates how aligning with one's vision can imbue life with purpose and lead to holistic success.The Balance of Vision and VehicleIn exploring the intricacies of breadth in life's pursuits, Josselyne talks about the significance of distinguishing between vision and vehicles. Often, individuals become overly fixated on specific paths (vehicles) and lose sight of their broader vision. Josselyne stresses that numerous vehicles exist to manifest one's vision, thus providing flexibility and adaptability. When setbacks occur, it's an opportunity to explore alternative avenues rather than perceiving them as dead ends. This approach ensures one remains open to possibilities, cultivating a dynamic balance between aspirations and the means to achieve them.Building Resilience while Staying True to Your VisionResilience, as Josselyne discusses, transcends bouncing back from adversity. It's intricately linked with being unmessable, where one not only recovers but continues to progress towards their vision. It's about identifying personal cues of reaction and having mechanisms like physical or mental exercises to shift back to a space of creation. By utilising these strategies, one fosters resilience that is not just about maintaining status quo but about thriving and evolving continuously in alignment with one's vision.Creating a Vivid Roadmap through Vision CraftingIn the transformative journey with her clients, Josselyne stresses crafting an explicit vision as a roadmap. Her method involves articulating experiences one seeks in life, transcending material goals, and centering on emotions like freedom or connection. By shifting focus to experience, individuals construct a vibrant framework that steers every aspect of life harmoniously. This creates an undivided life view, integrating personal and professional endeavours under a unifying vision, leading to enriched and fulfilling experiences.Conclusion: The Empowering Path of Living Your Version of SuccessJosselyne Herman-Saccio's conversation inspires us to embrace the joy of living a life not bound by fears or constraints but fuelled by our authentic visions. Her insights unravel the profound impact of questioning beliefs and creating present-moment experiences of our dreams. Josselyne's teachings challenge us to step beyond conventional boundaries, realising a life where resilience, vision, and excellence are the norm. Let her transformative philosophy inspire you to pursue your potential and redefine success.Call to ActionConsider what limiting beliefs might hold you back from living your dreams.

In this episode, we dive into the wisdom of Alan Watts and why young creatives need to master the art of letting go. We talk about my illusion of control, my fear of failure, and how gripping too tightly to an outcome can kill the very thing you're trying to create.

Because this season is focused on the 1980's, and we are talking about the two best free soloists of their generations, Peter Croft and John Bachar,  there is a Venn Diagram that puts today's guest squarely in the center: Jeff Smoot.  In Jeff's book Hangdog Days: Conflict, Change and the Race for 5.14, he tells the tale of the beginnings of sport climbing in the U.S. -  of Alan Watts and Todd Skinner - tales that John Bachar often plays the antagonist for. His most recent book, All and Nothing: Inside Free Soloing, takes a look at, among others, Bachar and Croft.  And Jeff was there for much of it. As I've been doing research, his name has come up over and over again as the author of key articles. I had to talk to him. No brainer.  Check out our website for related episodes, resources and more!

Trigger warning:In honor of Joshua's life, Nicholas Fontana agreed to film with PBTR a few years ago to share his experience of losing his adopted friend Joshua to suicide. I ran into Nicholas at a mutual friends party a few weeks ago. Everything fell away as we began to speak about the effort to heal and all of the ways he has made progress. I asked Nicholas if he would be willing to be on the podcast to talk about the ideas he shared during our conversation. This led me to think about how to deal with our diverse levels of pain in a way that I have never considered before. His inspiration for self exploration came from; Gangaji, Alan Watts. Adyashanti, Eckhart Tolle and Terrence McKenna.It is important to understand that the people who love adopted people hurt when we hurt. Adoption is not a singular event that happens to one person. Adoption loss extends out from us; it affects our relationships, our parenting and our ability to feel worthy. In reintroducing you to Nicholas and Joshua we hope you feel inspired by the courage, friendship and the bond they shared. We honor Joshua and his brave battle, we honor all of the warriors we have lost. Remember you are worthy in fact you are spectacular! -Joshua Samuel Kukla -Father, friend, musician, brother, son, adopteeClick here to send us a text.

"What if the key to clarity, peace, and true integration wasn't in thinking more, but in thinking less? What if the struggle to bring profound experiences back into our daily lives isn't about making sense of them, but about learning how to stop making sense of everything? Today, we dive into a concept that challenges the very way we engage with reality—the art of not thinking." "Inspired by the teachings of Alan Watts and the transformational nature of plant medicine, this episode explores why integration after a deep, present-moment experience feels so impossible. We return home to a world that demands us to live in time—wrapped in memories, future anxieties, and rigid structures that seem to swallow the magic of now. But what if the challenge isn't about fitting that experience into ‘normal life,' but instead, bringing normal life into the present moment? What if the real work isn't thinking about how to integrate, but allowing ourselves to simply be?" "We'll unpack why our thoughts create an endless loop of chatter, why we mistake our inner dialogue for truth, and how practicing moments of stillness can unlock something deeper. We'll also connect this to the Interface Response System—how pausing, perceiving, and processing can help us transcend automatic thought and step into the richness of direct experience." "So, let's explore the power of not thinking. Let's step outside the constant stream-of-mind chatter and into something more expansive. Because when we stop analyzing everything, we might just start experiencing life as it truly is." "Let's dive in."

Today we're opening up the vault to share an extraordinary archival recording from one of the most influential figures in Esalen's history, Frederic Spiegelberg — and while that name might not be as immediately recognizable as some of the luminaries who graced Esalen's grounds, like Joseph Campbell, Alan Watts, or Gabrielle Roth, understanding Frederic Spiegelberg and his place in Esalen mythology might be key to understanding Esalen itself . . . because in truth, without Frederic Spiegelberg, there might well never have been an Esalen at all. In 1950, Esalen co-founder Michael Murphy was just another Stanford student when he, by complete accident, attended one of Friedric Spiegelberg's philosophy courses. As recounted in Jeffrey Kripal's fantastic book, “Esalen: America and the Religion of No Religions,” that single class would become an initiatory event that transformed Murphy's life forever, providing a pivotal bridge into the metaphysical, the mystical, and the psychical realms, dimensions that would go on to define the course of his life. The recording you're about to hear takes place in 1968, nearly two decades after Michael Murphy's satori. Frederic Spiegelberg, as you'll hear, is still a force to be reckoned with. He speaks of the convergence between Eastern and Western thought, the transformative power of spiritual experience, and the boundless capacity for human growth. And as you listen to this beautiful recording, originally made on half-inch reel to reel tape that we've recently uncovered in the Esalen vault, dusted off, digitized, and are in the process of joyfully rediscovering, maybe consider this: that you're not just hearing a lecture from the past. Instead, you're taking part in a transmission. A thread that connects the early days of Esalen to the present moment. You're stepping into the very space where minds were opened and spirits awakened and the seeds of some sort of transformation were sown.

You're not gonna have to wait months for it to come to pass. The spirit of the Lord is saying that he's gonna do it early!- @Godlywaiting via IG'"You're the one who has to meet what you want at the vibration where it is."-Abraham Hicks"...There is a strength, but also a lightness.There is power, but also softness.There is firmness, but also flexibility.The being is like solid emptiness.Immeasurable.Weightless.Yet more solid than a mountain.Lighter than space.Full yet empty.Sublime."-Mooji"Dear friends, I want you to hear this: what is said of Jesus is said of you. I know this can be hard to affirm. You are the beloved daughter or son of God. Can you believe it? Can you hear it not only in your head through your physical ears but in your gut, hear it so that your whole life can be turned around? Go to the scriptures and read: "I have loved you with an everlasting love. I have written your name in the palm of my hand from all eternity. I have molded you in the depths of the earth and knitted you in your mother's womb. I love you. I embrace you. You are mine and I am yours and you belong to me." You have to hear this, because if you can hear this divine voice speak to you from all eternity, then your life will become more and more the life of the beloved, because that is who you are."-Henri Nouwen via IG @claremsf"Just wake up and say, "I don't care" for a minute. Drop the desire and say, "I don't want this", the next second something comes up in you, and that is a smile.-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar"When a cat falls out of a tree, it lets go of itself. The cat becomes completely relaxed, and lands lightly on the ground. But if a cat were about to fall out of a tree and suddenly make up its mind that it didn't want to fall, it would become tense and rigid, and would be just a bag of broken bones upon landing. In the same way, it is the philosophy of the Tao that we are all falling off a tree, at every moment of our lives. As a matter of fact, the moment we were born, we were kicked off a precipice, and we are falling, and there is nothing that can stop it. So instead of living in a state of chronic tension, and clinging to all sorts of things that are actually falling with us because the whole world is impermanent, be like a cat."- Alan Watts
