THE PRICE OF AWARENESS — How CONSCIOUSNESS Steals Simple Joy | Alan Watts on Waking Up

Описание: THE PRICE OF AWARENESS — How CONSCIOUSNESS Steals Simple Joy | Alan Watts on Waking Up
There is a peculiar kind of suffering that comes when we awaken — a deep, existential ache that Alan Watts often described as the price of consciousness. Once you begin to truly see the world, the illusion of simplicity shatters. The movie you once loved now looks like propaganda. The conversation that once felt natural now feels like a performance. You no longer move through life asleep — and yet, the cost of awareness is the loss of innocence.
In this thought-provoking exploration inspired by Alan Watts, we delve into one of life’s most paradoxical experiences: the loneliness of awakening. What happens when you can no longer enjoy the world the way you once did? When every social interaction feels scripted, every story manipulative, every pursuit hollow? You begin to realize you’ve stepped outside the collective dream — and that awakening can feel like exile.
But Watts reminds us that this is not the end of joy — it is the beginning of true participation. Awareness is not meant to be a wall between you and life; it is a bridge. The goal is not to reject the game, but to play it consciously. To see both the illusion and the beauty, the script and the spontaneity, the manipulation and the magic — and to embrace it all. This is the evolution from suffering consciousness to liberated consciousness.
This video will guide you through the stages of awakening:


Why awareness often brings pain before peace


How the analytical mind becomes another prison


Why you can’t return to unconscious happiness — and why you shouldn’t


How to move from detachment to compassionate participation


What Alan Watts called “second innocence” — the joy that comes after knowledge


By the end, you’ll understand that true wisdom isn’t standing apart from life, analyzing it from a distance. It’s dancing in the play with open eyes, holding awareness and joy together. As Watts said, “You are not a stranger to the universe — you are the universe playing at being human.”
Let this message remind you that you haven’t lost your capacity for wonder — you’ve simply outgrown the old ways of seeing it. Awareness doesn’t have to steal your joy; it can deepen it. All that’s required is to stop using consciousness as a defense — and start using it as a door back into life itself.
