Existential Videos: All Will Arrive - Alan Watts Is God For 10 Minutes

I came across the two embedded videos below earlier today during my morning reading and found that they compliment each other nicely.  If you're in the mood for a little existentialism, you might find these videos to be interesting.  Between the two, there is quite a bit about which to think and/or meditate upon.




The first video is from LelaBear, entitled "All Will Arrive."  Taken from her YouTube page, this is how Lela describes the video: "My video illustration of the role of the psyche in our collective spiritual awakening... originally inspired by Jed McKenna's audio book series "The Enlightenment Trilogy" produced by Wise Fool Press...  synchronistic inspiration fueled by the fusion of two of my favorite visionaries - Fintan Dunne, Independent Journalist and Sam Brown, the quintessential cosmic artist for the interview with Jungarian scholar Paul Levy, author of "The World Is Psyche."




The second video features audio from a class taught by British philosopher, writer and speaker Alan Watts (1915-1973).  In the video, he plays the role of a delusional patient who thinks he is God.  Watts allows his students to ask him any questions they'd like, and the results are quite informative and entertaining.  There are some fascinating points to ponder in the video.  Thanks to Daniel Silversun at Esoteric for raising awareness of the video by reposting it.
