Alan Watts: Why Can’t You Feel Peace?

Описание: Alan Watts Why Can’t You Feel Peace? is the question that haunts so many people — even those who appear “successful” on the outside.

You may have a job.
A home.
People around you.
A life that looks stable.

And yet… inside, the mind never truly rests.

In this Alan Watts philosophy lecture, we explore why peace feels so distant, why the ego keeps creating tension, and how awareness reveals the calm that was never missing.

Most people think peace is something you achieve.
But Alan Watts teaches something radically different:
Peace is not a result.
Peace is what remains when you stop resisting what you feel.

We lose peace when we:
• overthink every decision
• worry about the future
• replay the past
• try to control emotions
• judge ourselves constantly
• chase “self-improvement” like a survival mission

Alan Watts explains that the ego survives by creating problems.
Because if the ego stops creating problems, it begins to dissolve.
That’s why the mind keeps saying:
“Fix this.”
“Change that.”
“Become better.”
“Don’t feel this.”
“Don’t be like that.”

And this constant inner pressure is why you can’t feel peace.

But the truth is:
Peace is not found by controlling the mind.
Peace is found by seeing the mind clearly.

You are not the storm of thoughts.
You are the space that notices the storm.
And when you stop identifying with the storm…
the storm loses power.

This video will help you understand:
• Alan Watts on why peace feels impossible
• The ego’s need to stay busy
• Why control creates anxiety
• How resistance creates suffering
• The illusion of self-improvement
• Letting go of inner conflict
• Wu Wei explained — effortless peace
• Returning to stillness and presence
• Living without mental war

If your mind feels tired…
If peace feels far away…
If you keep asking “What’s wrong with me?”…

This lecture is your reminder:
Nothing is wrong with you.
You are simply caught in the habit of resisting yourself.

Take a breath.
Slow down.
And let Alan Watts guide you back to the peace you never lost.
