When You Find Yourself, Life Begins | Alan Watts | Best Life Advice

This video isn't about another self-improvement technique. It's about seeing through the illusion. We delve into why: • Chasing your "true self" is like a dog chasing its own tail. • The ego is a radar system mistakenly identified as the captain. • The self-help industry often traps you in a loop of inadequacy. • You are not a fixed entity to be discovered, but a process—a "selfing." Learn why the universe might be playing an elaborate game of hide-and-seek with itself, and YOU are it. Discover the liberating humor in realizing you were never lost. This is a call to stop the spiritual search and start living authentically, not by finding yourself, but by realizing you never stopped being yourself.
