Alan Watts Explained : How Christianity Denied Spirituality

Video Description

Alan Watts Explained : How Christianity Denied Spirituality Is it possible that Christianity, in its quest for orthodoxy, denied the very spirituality it was meant to awaken? In this talk inspired by Alan Watts, we explore how the historical church transformed Jesus’ radical mystical message into a rigid belief system — and in doing so, cut people off from the direct experience of the Divine. Discover the contrast between authentic spiritual awakening and the systems built to contain it. Could it be that Jesus came to show us we are divine — but the church couldn’t allow that truth? 🙏 If you value honest, open, and courageous discussion of religion, mysticism, and spiritual awakening, join us on this journey. #Christianity #Spirituality #AlanWatts #Mysticism #Faith #alanwattsinspired #alanwattsinspires #philosophyforlife #selfgrowth Music from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nk4ErCIzTM0&list=RDNk4ErCIzTM0&start_radio=1 🤍 Inspiration from: Alan Watts This content is shaped in the spirit of Alan Watts — not to teach in the traditional sense, but to awaken something you already know deep down. Rooted in his explorations of consciousness, illusion, and the eternal now, our aim is to offer perspectives that dissolve the false walls between self and world. Rather than lead you to conclusions, we invite you to see that you were never truly separate from the dance of life, that what you seek is already what you are. Alan often said the task is not to improve yourself, but to realize there’s no self to improve. And so, with that spirit, we share words that may feel less like instruction and more like waking from a dream. If, through this offering, you find yourself laughing at the seriousness of life, or suddenly aware of the great cosmic joke that you are the universe playing a game of hide and seek with itself, then we've done our job. About Alan: Alan Watts (1915–1973) was a British philosopher, speaker, and writer best known for translating Eastern philosophy into a language the modern Western mind could understand. With wit, wisdom, and a glass of whiskey in hand, he brought Zen, Taoism, and Vedanta to the kitchen table — showing us that life isn't a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced like music: playfully, reverently, and fully.
