Alan Watts: The Ultimate Lecture
I really enjoy the way Alan Watts depicts death. This whole lecture is amazing as they always are, but I'd love to focus on this point he made. He describes it as an event between intervals, like music for example. A better analogy could be the different seasons. They are cyclical and will keep happening with intervals and events, but there could be a fear for example that the next season won't come. The only reason we aren't afraid of that is because we are so used to KNOWING that it will come and what happens next. The only difference between that and death is that we don't know for sure what is to happen when our interval ends and we hit the death event. Will there be another interval? Of course there will be. There is nothing in this world that doesn't run on a cyclic cycle of intervals. Think about it, time, light, sound, seasons, hunger, birth and death, revolution around the sun, and maybe even the birth and death of our universe are all patterns that will keep patterning. Anxiety is when you try to fight it, you try to go against the cycles and the change.
