Alan Watts Awakening: Why Spiritually Awakened People Secretly Struggle with Lust | Alan Watt Wisdom

Have you ever wondered why, after years of meditation and seeking, the "ancient magnetism" of lust and physical desire still pulls at you? Many believe that spiritual awakening means the ego dissolves and carnal urges vanish. But as Alan Watts beautifully explains, awakening doesn't subtract your humanity—it turns up the lights on it. In this contemplation, we unravel the "Secret Shame" of the awakened mind. We explore why the war between the spiritual self and the animal self is a false division created by ancient taboos. We dive deep into: ✔ The Flaw in the Foundation: Why spiritual traditions have historically feared the body and impermanence. ✔ The Shock of Awareness: How heightened sensitivity makes your human instincts feel more intense, not less. ✔ Desire as Creative Energy: Re-framing lust as the same "Neutral Energy" that drives stars to explode and flowers to bloom. ✔ The Practice of Pure Awareness: Learning to be the "Still Pond" rather than the ripples of desire. If you are feeling "spiritual burnout" from trying to maintain a perfect, untroubled persona, let this be your permission to be whole. You are not a spirit trapped in a cage; you are the universe expressing itself as a human being for a brief, brilliant moment. ✨ Key Philosophies Covered: ✔ Alan Watts on Desire and Non-attachment ✔ The Zen approach to the "Body-Mind" ✔ Overcoming spiritual pride and the "Ego wearing robes" ✔ Navigating modern anxiety through radical acceptance ✔ Everything is changing. I’m simply learning to flow with it. ⏰ Video Content 00:00 – The Unspoken War Within 03:44 – The Performance of "Being Spiritual" 07:13 – A Foggy Morning in Oregon 10:42 – The Words of Alan Watts 14:07 – Turning Up the Lights 17:20 – The Burnout of Perfection 20:58 – Feeling the Heat of the Fire 24:23 – The Sacred Cherry Blossoms 27:11 – The End of Division 30:19 – A Blessing for the Mortal God Alan Watts Daily Wisdom invites you to listen to other readings that are of most interest to our listeners here: 👉 God Speaks to Spiritually Awaken People Through Addiction | Alan Watts Daily Wisdom    • God Speaks to Spiritually Awaken People Th...   👉 This 30 Minute Alan Watts Lecture Will END Your Suffering Forever | Alan Watts Daily Wisdom    • This 30 Minute Alan Watts Lecture Will END...   👉 You’re Not Anxious, You’re Awake | Alan Watts Daily Wisdom    • You’re Not Anxious, You’re Awake | Alan Wa...   [CHANNEL & SOCIAL INFO] ✔ Subscribe to Alan Watts Daily Wisdom:    / @alanwattsus   ✔ Listen to more:    • Why Most People Never Survive Their Spirit...   ------------------------------------------- Alan Watts Daily Wisdom A quiet space for clarity, stillness, and deeper understanding.
